11-04-23 | Predators v. Oilers -174 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -174 | 15 h 30 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Oilers. Edmonton has got off to a brutal start, and that has them treating tonight's as a must win. It will be the third straight game on the road for Nashville, and they have lost four of five road games so far. Special teams could cost the Predators here, ranking among the worst in the NHL on the penalty kill, and facing the Oilers potent power play. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-04-23 | Arsenal v. Newcastle United | 0-1 | Win | 105 | 13 h 56 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Newcastle. While Arsenal sits in 2nd place in the Premier League standings, Newcastle in on better form. Newcastle is tied for the Premier League lead in both goals scored and goal differential. The bookmakers have Arsenal as the favorite here, but I think the Gunners will be lucky if they can salvage a draw. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-04-23 | Suns v. 76ers -175 | 100-112 | Win | 100 | 12 h 26 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on PHI. The Sixers sent James Harden out of town, and they are ready to move on. The Suns were talking big after acquiring Bradley Beal, but he's yet to play a game. They have everything riding on their BIG 3, and they might be down to 1 here in Philly as Booker is questionable. Ultimately a lack of depth should be what prevents the Suns from winning a road game against a well balanced contender on the road. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-04-23 | Nebraska -150 v. Michigan State | 17-20 | Loss | -150 | 11 h 50 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Nebraska. A change at QB has paid dividends for Nebrasksa. It's not like Heinrich Haarberg has been lighting it up, but he's been effective as a duel threat and limited the mistakes that were costing the Huskers earlier this season with Jeff Sims as the starter. Nebraska has won three in a row and I like them to keep it rolling in East Lansing against a Spartans team that has lost six straight. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-04-23 | Arkansas v. Florida -160 | 39-36 | Loss | -160 | 11 h 39 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on FLA. The Gators looked bad against Georgia, but who doesn't look bad against the defending champs. A return home to face a struggling Arkansas team should be just what the doctor ordered. The Razorbacks have been on the wrong side of plenty of close games, but it's asking a lot to expect them to be on the right side here in a tough environment. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-03-23 | Mavs v. Nuggets UNDER 227 | 114-125 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 37 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. The Nuggets have gone under this number in all of their games this season, and they have gone over this number just once in their last eight games versus Dallas. Opponents have averaged just 103.6 points per game so far, and the Nuggets did rank in the Top 10 in opponent scoring average last season. Dallas is 4-0 and the Mavs have averaged 222.5 points in those games. They have had a soft schedule so far, and this Game at Denver should be a far bigger challenge for them. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-02-23 | Stars v. Oilers -130 | 4-3 | Loss | -130 | 20 h 32 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on EDM. The Oilers are off to a slow start, failing to live up to such high expectations. They did win their last game blowing out Calgary in the Heritage Classic. Connor McDavid made a triumphant return, and he will be in the lineup tonight. This is a tough spot for Dallas, coming off a 4-3 win over Calgary last night. Jake Oettinger got the start last night, and that might lead to backup Scott Wedgewood to play in the second game of a back to back. Oettinger is one of the best in the NHL, and if he sits there is a huge drop off. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-02-23 | Titans v. Steelers -145 | 16-20 | Win | 100 | 41 h 5 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on PIT. In his NFL debut at home against the Falcons, Will Levis threw for 238 yards and four TDs on 19-of-29 passing. He makes his second NFL start on the road at Pittsburgh, and now the Steelers defense has tape on him. I think it would be awful naive to expect the rookie to be as good as he was last week. The Titans are 0-3 on the road, and they should be 0-4 after tonight. More bad news for Titans fans ...Cam Heyward is back for the Steelers. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-02-23 | TCU v. Texas Tech -145 | 28-35 | Win | 100 | 40 h 52 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on TTU. The Red Raiders should have a significant edge at QB here at home tonight with Baron Morton returning from injury. They are 3-2 in the games he has played, and he's thrown for almost 700 yards, 8 TDs and just two INTs. The TCU Horned Frogs won't have their starter, and freshman Josh Hoover has looked really bad on the road. Kansas State ran for 343 yards against the Horned Frogs in their last game, and this defense hasn't been stopping anyone. I'll take the Red Raiders as a slight home favorite. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-01-23 | Rangers v. Diamondbacks +1.5 | Top | 5-0 | Loss | -170 | 17 h 10 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on ARI. So we saw the D'Backs come back from the dead in the NLCS, and they showed a lot of heart rallying from a 10 run deficit in Game 4 despite coming up short. The good news is that their ace is on the mound in this do or die game tonight, and Texas has lost star slugger Adolis Garcia for the rest of the series. Zac Gallen was dominant at home this season, and on the road in Game 1 he pitched well enough to win. In fact the D'Backs took a two run lead to the bottom of the ninth and the bullpen blew it. The Rangers hand the ball to Nathan Eovaldi, who got roughed up in Game 1. He allowed five runs on six hits in 4 1/3 innings. I like the D'Backs to force a Game 6. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-01-23 | Cavs v. Knicks -6.5 | 95-89 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 32 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on NYK. I had the Knicks in last night's win in Cleveland, and often I look to fade a team that wins Game 1 of a home and home series. This is a different situation all together though, as the Cavs are banged up, and Donovan Mitchell was a game time decision to play with a hamstring injury last night. He played, but will he be good to go in the second game of a back to back? Here is what I said yesterday: "The Cavs have some key injuries, and Donovan Mitchell is expected to be a game time decision tonight. If he plays, he's dealing with a sore hamstring that is likely to affect his performance. Starting PG Darius Garland and Center Jared Allen are both out with injuries. The Knicks are 7-1 straight up in the last eight meetings versus the Cavs, and they have won three of their last four at Cleveland. The Knicks have lost two of three to start the season, but they have been competitive even in those losses. At full strength, this spot looks ideal for the Knicks to get back into the win column." GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-31-23 | Predators v. Canucks -127 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 19 h 57 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on VAN. The Canucks are playing well under new head coach Rick Tocchet, who was one of the league's toughest players when he played. Vancouver sits in second place in the Pacific Division behind defending champions Las Vegas. They host Nashville tonight, and this is a teach that they have owned over the years. Vancouver has won six straight in the Western Conference and four of five at home. The Preds have lost seven of their last 10 coming off a win, and they are 2-5 in their last seven on the road. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-31-23 | Rangers v. Diamondbacks +1.5 | 11-7 | Loss | -165 | 17 h 5 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on ARI. The Rangers are back out in front, and that puts all the pressure on Arizona here in Game 4. This isn't exactly a marquee matchup when it comes to starting pitchers. The D'Backs are going to the bullpen and the Rangers are going to the back end of their rotation. Andrew Heaney will toe the slab for Texas, and he's 0-0 with a 6.00 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP in four appearances in the post-season. The D'Backs hand the ball to Joe Mantiply, who tossed a scoreless first inning in a start in the NLCS. Adolis Garcia leads the playoffs in home runs and RBIs, and he left last night's game with what might be a serious injury. It will be a big blow for Texas if he misses tonight's game. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-31-23 | Knicks -150 v. Cavs | 109-91 | Win | 100 | 16 h 18 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on the NYK. The Cavs have some key injuries, and Donovan Mitchell is expected to be a game time decision tonight. If he plays, he's dealing with a sore hamstring that is likely to affect his performance. Starting PG Darius Garland and Center Jared Allen are both out with injuries. The Knicks are 7-1 straight up in the last eight meetings versus the Cavs, and they have won three of their last four at Cleveland. The Knicks have lost two of three to start the season, but they have been competitive even in those losses. At full strength, this spot looks ideal for the Knicks to get back into the win column. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-30-23 | Blackhawks +1.5 v. Coyotes | 1-8 | Loss | -150 | 19 h 9 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on CHI. The Hawks are 3-3 on the road, but they are 4-2 ATS in those games. They are an underdog on the road tonight in Arizona, and the Coyotes are 3-4 straight up so far this season. Arizona is just 1-6 ATS as a puckline favorite in those games. The Coyotes have won five of the last 10 head to head versus Chicago, but five of those games were decided by one goal. The Coyotes are 6-21 in their last 27 games playing on 2 days rest, and they are 2-7 in their last 9 home games. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-30-23 | Jazz v. Nuggets UNDER 231 | 102-110 | Win | 100 | 18 h 52 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. These teams went under in three of four meetings last season, and the total for tonight's game is far higher than it was in any of those games. Denver ranked 5th in opponent's scoring average last season, and three games in they rank 5th in that category so far this year. The Jazz have gone over in each of their first three games, but they faced opponents that were willing to pay at their desired pace. On the road at Denver, we expect the Nuggets to dictate the pace and style of this game. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-30-23 | Rangers v. Diamondbacks +1.5 | 3-1 | Loss | -185 | 17 h 56 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on ARI. The D'Backs got a split in the first two games in Texas, and they have the momentum heading into Game 3. If I had of suggested that Brandon Pfaadt vs Max Scherzer was a favorable matchup for Arizona during the regular season, people would have called me crazy. They still might. If you didn't know better, you would think the stats were lined up next to the opposite name. It's Pfaadt with 22 Ks in 16 2/3 innings, while Scherzer has just six Ks in two post-season starts. Pfaadt has a 1.08 WHIP, while Scherzer has a 1.80 WHIP. Scherzer is not right, and he appears primed for another short outing. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-30-23 | Red Wings +1.5 v. Islanders | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 17 h 35 m | Show | |
This is a 3* play on DET. The Red Wings are 5-4 straight up, but they are 7-2 ATS in those games. They will be on the road against the Islanders tonight, and New York is 4-3 straight up so far. The Isles are just 1-6 ATS as a puckline favorite in those games. The Islanders rank near the bottom of the league in scoring, and they own one of the league's worst ranked power play units. The Wings have a huge edge when it comes to special teams. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-30-23 | Seattle Kraken +1.5 v. Lightning | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 16 h 10 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on SEA. Most experts expected Seattle to take a step forward this season, but they have yet to impress. The Kraken have lost seven of nine games to start the season, but they are 5-4 ATS in those games. The Lightning are just 4-4, and they have missed their starting netminder Andrei Vasilevskij. It may be tough for the Bolts to match the level of desperation that they will see from Seattle here. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-30-23 | Panthers v. Bruins -154 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 16 h 10 m | Show |
This is a 5* play on BOS. The Bruins have picked up right where they left off last year, when they had the league's best record in the regular season. They got off to a 3-1 series lead in the first round of the playoffs, only to lose three straight and fall in seven games versus the Florida Panthers. This sets up one hell of a revenge spot for the Bruins tonight. The Panthers are 8-20 in the last 28 meetings in Boston, and the Bruins are 45-11 in their last 56 home games. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-29-23 | Lakers v. Kings -2 | 127-132 | Win | 100 | 30 h 33 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on SAC. The young Kings pushed the Warriors to the brink in last year's playoffs, and while the Dubs are a year older, the Kings are only getting better. Sacramento was the highest scoring team in the NBA last year, and they have picked up right where they left off by scoring 130 in their season opening win over Utah. The addition of Euro League MVP Sasha Vuzenkov isn't going to hurt. The Lakers looked old in their opening night loss on the road in Denver, and I think they will look old here against the Kings in Sacramento. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-29-23 | Bengals +5.5 v. 49ers | 31-17 | Win | 100 | 25 h 1 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on CIN. So the Bengals came into this season expecting to be a contender, but Joe Burrow was clearly not healthy and they have been one of the biggest disappointments. Coming off a bye week, and Burrow proclaiming he is now at 100 percent, this looks like a good spot to back the Bengals s a dog. The 49ERS are coming off back to back losses, ravaged by injuries, and with the news that Brock Purdy has cleared concussion protocol the line has ticked up to +5.5. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-29-23 | Jets -153 v. Giants | 13-10 | Win | 100 | 22 h 3 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on NYJ. The Jets come in off back to back wins, and this team appears to be trending in the right direction. The Giants are coming off an upset win over Washington, with Tyrod Taylor balling out. Taylor threw for 279 yards and two TDs on 18-of-29 passing. I expect the Jets defense to make life difficult for the veteran backup here this Sunday. This looks like a let down spot for the Giants, and they might be a bit overvalued after covering in back to back games. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-29-23 | Vikings v. Packers +110 | 24-10 | Loss | -100 | 22 h 59 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on GB. The Vikings look good on paper, but "The Game Isn't Played on Paper!". The come into Lambeau Field in a cold weather game, and this appears to be a huge let down spot after they upset the 49ERS. The Vikings have lost by 20+ points in each of their last two games at Lambeau, Green Bay leads the all-time series 64-56-3 and the home team has won each of the past four games in the series. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-29-23 | Fulham v. Brighton & Hove Albion -180 | 1-1 | Loss | -180 | 18 h 27 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Brighton. Brighton has scored a whopping 22 goals this season, 3 x more than Fulham. Brighton is 3-1-1 at home and they have scored 13 goals in five matches. Fulham has only scored four goals in five away matches, winning just once during that span. If you look at the three games Fulham has won this year, you see Luton Town, Everton and Sheffield United. All three are in or around the relegation zone. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-28-23 | Diamondbacks v. Rangers -151 | 9-1 | Loss | -151 | 14 h 12 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on TEX. | |||||||
10-28-23 | Maple Leafs -136 v. Predators | 2-3 | Loss | -136 | 12 h 29 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on TOR. The Leafs will be on the road on Saturday night, but it's still a national TV game on Hockey Night in Canada. Toronto has a hot goaltender in Joseph Woll, who is 3-1 with a 1.33 GAA so far. The Leafs are 4-1 in their last five versus Nashville, and they won two of three at Nashville during that span. Special teams could be huge in this game, as Toronto ranks near the top of the NHL on both the powerplay and penalty kill. The Preds are ranked among the worst in the league in both those categories. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-28-23 | Toronto v. Ottawa | 27-22 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 36 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Ottawa. The Argos are going to the Playoffs, so this is a game that they really have no interest in. They are expected to rest their starters, and the only goal here is to get out of Ottawa without sustaining any serious injuries. Ottawa has nothing to prevent them from laying it all out in their season finale, with guys playing for future roster spots. The home team should be able to close out a disappointing season with a home win in a game that is meaningless for their opponent. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-28-23 | East Carolina v. UTSA -18 | 27-41 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 41 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on UTSA. I have been riding this Roadrunners team since Frank Harris returned, and they haven't let me down. They have won three straight, covering in all three games. At first glance 18 might look like a big number, but UTSA has won back to back games by 20+, and those games were against better teams that ECU. Harris has thrown for 770 yards, 7 TDs and 2 INTs on over 70 percent passing since coming back from the injury. I see no season why the Roadrunners don't win by 20+ here. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-27-23 | Warriors v. Kings -145 | Top | 122-114 | Loss | -145 | 21 h 32 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on SAC. Lets not overreact to the Warriors losing at home on Opening Night to a shorthanded Phoenix team. Maybe they missed Draymond Green, maybe Chris Paul needs more time to work his win into a new team. Regardless of any of that, following up with a road game at Sacramento is a tough spot. The younger Kings pushed them to the brink in last year's playoffs, and while the Dubs are a year older, the Kings are only getting better. Sacramento was the highest scoring team in the NBA last year, and they have picked up right where they left off by scoring 130 in their season opening win over Utah. The addition of Euro League MVP Sasha Vuzenkov isn't going to hurt. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-27-23 | Blues v. Canucks UNDER 6.5 | 0-5 | Win | 100 | 20 h 25 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. The Blues are coming off a 3-0 shutout win over Calgary, and they have gone under in five of their six games this season. They will be starting a hot goaltender tonight in Vancouver, either the backup coming off a shutout or Jordan Binnington, who is 2-1-1 with 1.69 GAA. The Canucks are also in good shape with both their netminders, ranking 7th in the league in GAA. History tells us we can expect a low scoring game, as the under is 19-6-3 in the last 28 meetings in Vancouver. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-27-23 | Diamondbacks v. Rangers -154 | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 29 h 37 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Texas. The Rangers host Game 1 of the World Series, and they had the 2nd best home record in the American League this season. Nate Eovaldi will toe the rubber for the Rangers, and he was 6-3 with a 3.70 ERA and a WHIP of 1.11 at home this season. The D'Backs hand the ball to their ace Zac Gallen, who has been hit hard in the post-season. Gallen is 2-2 with a 5.24 ERA in the playoffs, and he hasn't been the same pitcher on the road as he has been in Arizona this season. Marcus Semien is 5-for-8 (.625) lifetime versus Gallen. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-26-23 | Maple Leafs v. Stars UNDER 6.5 | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 12 h 42 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on the Under. The Dallas Stars host the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight, and these teams have a history of playing low scoring games. Four of the last five head to head meetings have gone under the total. The Stars are riding a hot goaltender, as Jake Oettinger is 3-0-1 with a 1.44 GAA in four starts. All four of those games went under the total. Toronto also has a hot goaltender, Joseph Woll is 2-1 with a 1.44 GAA. We could see a low scoring affair here in Texas. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-26-23 | 76ers v. Bucks UNDER 227 | 117-118 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. | |||||||
10-25-23 | Mavs v. Spurs OVER 229.5 | 126-119 | Win | 100 | 12 h 57 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Over. The Spurs ranked dead last in the NBA in opponents scoring average, allowing over 121 points per game. They have gone over in six straight versus Texas rivals Dallas, and during that span they have done plenty of scoring in their own right. San Antonio scored an average of 123 points in their last six meetings versus the Mavs. San Antonio did plenty of scoring in the pre-season, with 120 or more in three of their five games. We might see another shootout in Texas tonight. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-25-23 | Borussia Dortmund v. Newcastle United -150 | 1-0 | Loss | -150 | 9 h 10 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Newcastle. The Magpies host Dortmund in a match between the first and last placed teams in the group. Dortmund has really regressed after selling off the majority of their talent in recent years. Newcastle is a team trending up, coming off a 4-1 home win over PSG in their last Champions League match. They have posted three clean sheets in their last four home matches, winning by a combined margin of 11-1 in those games. Newcastle looks good to take max points from this match. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-24-23 | Suns v. Warriors -110 | 108-104 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 57 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on GSW. Sure KD is running his mouth about an unstoppable big three? Did he learn nothing in last year's playoffs? A lack of depth killed the Suns last season, and their bench looks even thinner as we get ready for this season. Two of their big three are listed as questionable, although they both probably play. This is a revenge spot for veteran PG Chris Paul, and while I don't know if it works out long term for the Dubs.... I expect him to play well in this game. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-24-23 | Diamondbacks v. Phillies -164 | 4-2 | Loss | -164 | 14 h 46 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on PHI. The D'Backs send a rookie to the mound in Game 7, and while he hasn't allowed a run in his last two starts, I am not sure we can trust him here. Ranger Saurez will go for Philly, and he's only given up one run in three post season appearances. Philly is looking to get back to the World Series, and it appears to be their destiny. Asking Arizona to win a Game 7 on the road with a rookie getting the start is not something I wanna put my money on. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-24-23 | Sabres v. Senators -154 | 6-4 | Loss | -154 | 12 h 26 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Ottawa. The Sens are 3-1 on at home so far, and they wrap up this home stand with a game against the Buffalo Sabres. Buffalo is play on back to back nights, coming off a loss at Montreal. The home team has won four straight and seven of the last 10 in this series. While it is still too early in the season to put too much stock in the numbers, Buffalo ranks near the bottom of the league in scoring and has one of the league's worst power-plays. The Sabres are 55-124 in their last 179 games playing the second game of a back to back, and they have lost seven of eight in Ottawa. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-24-23 | FC Copenhagen +1.5 v. Manchester United | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 5 h 50 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on FC Copenhagen. Manchester United faces a must win game at Old Trafford to stay alive in the Champions League. The problem is that Manchester United isn't a Champions League caliber team at the moment. They sit 8th in the Premier League table and they have negative goal differential. There are plenty of distractions, with rumors of playing coming and going and manager Ten Hag on the hot seat. Copenhagen is a competitive side that has played a draw in an away match and lost at Bayern by one goal. Asking United to win by more than one seems a bit over optimistic to me. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-23-23 | Rangers v. Astros -120 | 11-4 | Loss | -120 | 13 h 6 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Houston. The Rangers forced a Game 7, and they send out their big name acquisition in this do or die game. Max Scherzer has won more than his share of big games, but he has shown little signs of being that guy in these playoffs. He's allowed a dozen runs on 11 hits over just 7 innings in his last two starts against Houston. The Astros hand the ball to Cristian Javier who is 2-0 with a 1.69 ERA in the playoffs. The road team is 6-0 in the series heading into Game 7, if the Rangers win here it will be only the second time in history a road team won all seven games in a series. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-23-23 | Diamondbacks v. Phillies -178 | 5-1 | Loss | -178 | 10 h 11 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on PHI. The Phillies can clinch the series at home in Game 6, and they have a favorable matchup on the mound in this one. Aaron Nola will toe the slab for Philly, and he's 3-0 with a 0.96 ERA in the playoffs. The D'Backs hand the ball to Merrill Kelly, who has been solid but better at home than on the road. Kelly gave up three home runs in a 10-0 loss in Philly in Game 1. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-22-23 | Rangers +1.5 v. Astros | 9-2 | Win | 100 | 21 h 29 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Texas. The Rangers will look to force a Game 7, and they have a favorable pitching matchup in Game 6. Nate Eovaldi will toe the slab for Texas, and he's 3-0 with a 2.29 ERA in the playoffs. The Astros hand the ball to Framber Valdez, who has been lit up in both his post-season starts. He allowed five runs on seven hits in just 2 2/3 innings in Game 2. The Rangers scored four runs in the first inning in a 5-4 win. Valdez has allowed 17 runs on 18 hits over 12 innings in his last three home starts. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-22-23 | Chargers +6 v. Chiefs | 17-31 | Loss | -112 | 131 h 29 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on LAC. The Chargers have lost six of the last eight meetings versus KC, but they have covered the spread in seven of those games. Last year they lost by a field goal in both meetings, at home and at Kansas City. They are 2-3 this season and all three of their losses have come by a field goal. The Chiefs offense has not been quite as prolific this season, averaging just 24 points per game. I'll take the points as I am expecting another close game. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-22-23 | Falcons v. Bucs -135 | 16-13 | Loss | -135 | 151 h 40 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on TB. The Bucs are still sitting in first place in the NFC South with a record of 3-2, but the public is down on them after they looked pretty bad in a home loss to the Lions. Their losses came against the Eagles and the Lions, who boast a combined record of 10-2. Now they have a home game against an Atlanta team with a rookie QB who has thrown as many picks (6) as TDs. This is just the Falcons second road game, and they scored six points in a loss at Detroit earlier this year. Five of Ridder's six TD passes have come at home. This looks like a tough spot against a Bucs defense than ranks 7th in the NFL in scoring allowing 17.6 points per game. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-22-23 | Raiders -115 v. Bears | 12-30 | Loss | -115 | 151 h 39 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on LV. The Bears won't have Justin Fields this week, and it probably doesn't matter as they are suspected to begin tanking for the first overall pick in the draft. The Raiders are also turning to a backup QB, but Brian Hoyer has plenty of experience. This looks like a good spot for Josh Jacobs to get going against the Bears 29th ranked defense. This might not be pretty, but we expect the Raiders to emerge with a "W" here. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-21-23 | Phillies v. Diamondbacks +1.5 | 6-1 | Loss | -145 | 20 h 34 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on ARI. The D'Backs have levelled the series at 2-2 with a come from behind win in Game 4, and they send their ace to the mound in Game 5. Zac Gallen has some pretty dramatic home away splits, going 12-3 with a 2.47 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP at home this season. The Phillies hand the ball to Zack Wheeler, who has been dominant at home and on the road. Wheeler is 6-3 with an ERA of 2.96 and 69 strikeouts in 11 appearances against the Diamondbacks. Zac Gallen is 3-1 with an ERA of 2.22 and 24 strikeouts in 5 appearances against the Phillies. While a close game should be expected, I think the wrong team is favored here. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-21-23 | UTSA -3 v. Florida Atlantic | Top | 36-10 | Win | 100 | 147 h 21 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on UTSA. I don't think the markets have accurately accounted for the return of Frank Harris, who has thrown for over 500 yards and five TDs in back to back double digit wins since coming back from injury. The Roadrunners had a disappointing start to the season, but that can be partially explained by the injury to their starting QB. The Owls lost their starter for the season, and backup Daniel Richardson has thrown for 902 yards, 5 TDs and 4 INTs in four starts. I don't think the Owls offense has enough weapons to keep up to UTSA. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-21-23 | Tennessee v. Alabama UNDER 48 | 20-34 | Loss | -110 | 144 h 38 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. I bet the under in the Vols home game against Texas A&M. Here is what I said prior to the game: "The Vols ran for 238 yards and three TDs in a win over South Carolina two weeks ago, but they face a much tougher Aggies defense this week. Texas A&M held Alabama to just 23 rushing yards last week, but Jalen Milroe and Jermaine Burton lit them up. Joe Milton hasn't been lighting anybody up this season, and he won't have his top WR Bru McCoy for the rest of the season. This game should be a defensive battle, and we should expect a low score. Both these teams have held opponents to fewer than 20 points per game." Alabama should be able to dominate this game on the ground, and the Vols are going to struggle to score. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-21-23 | Penn State +5 v. Ohio State | Top | 12-20 | Loss | -110 | 141 h 14 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on PSU. The Buckeyes come into this week's home game against Penn State with a 6-0 record and they are ranked 3rd nationally. Kyle McCord has pedestrian numbers for an Ohio State quarterback, and at times this team has appeared vulnerable. The win over Maryland two weeks ago was closer than it should have been, and they needed a miracle to beat the Irish at Notre Dame. This team fell apart at the end of last year, losing 45-23 at home to Michigan,and then losing to Georgia in the Peach Bowl. Penn State looks every bit as dangerous as the Michigan team that embarrassed them here last year. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-20-23 | Calgary v. BC OVER 49.5 | 41-16 | Win | 100 | 19 h 24 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Over. This is a big game for both teams, as BC is still in the hunt for first place in the West, and Calgary needs a win just to make the playoffs. The Lions have gone over the total in six straight, and one of the reasons for that has been a lackluster defense. The Lions have allowed opponents to average over 30 points per game in their last six overall. Five of those games were wins, so they are clearly scoring more than their share as well. Calgary gets WR1 (Beggleton) back for tonight's game. We should see both teams score plenty. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-20-23 | Phillies v. Diamondbacks OVER 9.5 | Top | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 18 h 27 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Over. We saw a pitcher's duel in Game 3 in Arizona on Thursday, but with both teams turning to the back end of the rotation I would expect a slugfest in Game 4. Joe Mantiply will toe the slab for Arizona, and he's been lit up in two appearances versus Philly. The Phillies tagged him for seven runs on nine hits over 3 1/3 innings in those games. The Phillies hand the ball to Cristopher Sanchez, who hasn't pitched in three weeks. He was 2-2 with a 5.26 in eight starts during the regular season. This game has "slugfest" written all over it. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-19-23 | Hurricanes v. Seattle Kraken +1.5 | 4-7 | Win | 100 | 20 h 14 m | Show | |
This is a 10* play on SEA. The Kraken are still looking for their first win, and they could be catching the Hurricanes in a good spot. This will be their fourth consecutive road game, and their starting netminder Freddy Anderson is banged up. These teams have played four times previously, and Carolina has won all four of those games. It's probably worth noting that three of those games were decided by one goal. Seattle lost their home opener to Colorado by a score of 4-1, but the Kraken are 4-1 in their last 5 games following a home loss of 3 or more goals. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-19-23 | Astros v. Rangers OVER 9.5 | Top | 10-3 | Win | 100 | 19 h 51 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Over. We expected Max Scherzer to struggle last night coming off a long layoff, and he got tagged for five runs on five hits in four innings. Both starters tonight are coming off an extended layoff, and this is the bottom of the barrel as far as the rotation is concerned. Jose Urquidy will toe the slab for Houston, and he's failed to reach the fifth inning in seven of his last nine appearances. Andrew Heaney hasn't pitched in two weeks, and he allowed three runs on five hits and four walks in 4 2/3 innings in a 13-6 loss in his last home start versus the Astros. Another shootout seems likely in Game 4 in Texas. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-18-23 | Astros v. Rangers OVER 9 | 8-5 | Win | 100 | 18 h 60 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Over. Both these teams turn to the back end of the rotation here in this hitter's park in Game 3 of the ALCS. Max Scherzer will toe the rubber for the Rangers, but he hasn't started in the majors in over a month. Expect him to be on a short leash here in his return from injury. The Astros hand the ball to Cristian Javier, who was rocked for eight runs on nine hits in 4 1/3 innings in his last start in Texas. Scherzer's last home start came against Houston, and he gave up seven runs on six hits and two walks in just three innings in a 12-3 loss last month. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-18-23 | Capitals v. Senators -155 | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 25 h 28 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on OTT. The Sens are coming off back to back home wins, and they host the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night. Ottawa is an exciting young team that was one of the best in the NHL in pre-season. Brady Tkatchuk has scored four goals in three games, and his stock is trending up. The Caps are 1-1 after opening the season with a pair of home games, and they play on the road for the first time this season. Washington has cost bettors a ton of money, going 8-22 in their last 30 overall. They are 2-14 in their last 16 games following a win and they have lost six straight on the road. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-17-23 | Oilers -140 v. Predators | 6-1 | Win | 100 | 16 h 50 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on the Oilers. The Oilers ran into a buzz saw losing their first two games of the season to the Vancouver Canucks. They have a favorable matchup here in Nashville, facing a Predators team that they have won eight of nine against. Edmonton had the best power play in the NHL last year, converting on roughly 1/3 of their chances. Don't be surprised if they dominate special teams play here in Nashville, earning their first win of the season. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-17-23 | Diamondbacks v. Phillies -153 | 0-10 | Win | 100 | 15 h 8 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on PHI. The Phillies won Game 1 of the NLCS, and I like their chances of going up 2-0 with a win in Game 2. Aaron Nola will toe the slab for the Phillies, and he's 2-0 with a 1.42 ERA in two post-season starts. The Phillies are 10-1 in his last 11 starts. The D'Backs hand the ball to Merrill Kelly, who was far better in the first half of the season. He was 9-4 before the All Star game, and went 3-4 in his final 14 starts of the regular season. Trea Turner is batting .500 in the playoffs, and he's hit .429 over 21 career at bats versus Merrill Kelly. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-17-23 | Western Kentucky -7.5 v. Jacksonville State | 17-20 | Loss | -109 | 14 h 29 m | Show | |
This is a 3* play on WKU. I bet against Jacksonville state a few weeks ago when they were a small underdog at Middle Tennessee. I called them a public dog, and when they trailed by three scores at halftime I thought I was pretty sharp. The Blue Raiders imploded in the second half, and the Gamecocks won again. I still think they are overvalued, and they rank 122nd in strength of schedule. Even though they haven't played anybody, they rank 91st nationally in opponent passing yards. Making matters worse, they might not have their starting QB available for this game. The Hilltoppers scored 35 points in the first half in a win at LA-Tech in their last game, and they should dominate this game from start to finish. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-16-23 | Cowboys v. Chargers +3 | 20-17 | Push | 0 | 185 h 8 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on LAC. This looks like a good spot to back a Chargers team that has underachieved so far. Dallas comes in as a road favorite, but the shine is starting to wear off. The Cowboys have lost back to back road games to Arizona and San Francisco. Their wins don't look all that impressive either, beating the Jets, Giants and Patriots. While Dallas is trending down, the Chargers are trending up coming off back to back wins over the Raiders and the Vikings. They lost to Miami in week 1 by just two points, and on the road at Tennessee by a field goal. I'll take the points with the home dog. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-16-23 | Rangers +1.5 v. Astros | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 13 h 13 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on TEX. The Astros were shutout in Game 1, and the matchup in Game 2 doesn't look good for Houston. Framber Valdez will toe the slab for the Astros, and he's allowed a dozen runs on 11 hits and six walks in 9 2/3 innings in his last two home starts. In two home starts versus Texas this season, he gave up 10 runs on 13 hits and four walks in 9 2/3 innings in a pair of blowout losses. The Rangers hand the ball to Nate Eovaldi, who has allowed just a pair of runs while striking out 15 batters over 13 2/3 innings in two post-season starts. Houston we have a problem! GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-15-23 | Rangers v. Astros -130 | 2-0 | Loss | -130 | 17 h 33 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on HOU. The Astros have owned Texas, winning eight of the last 10 head to head meetings. Justin Verlander has been unhittable in the post-season. Verlander tossed six scoreless innings, allowing four hits and striking out six in a win over Minnesota in Game 1 of the division series. He's only allowed on run in his last three starts, and in his only start against Texas this season he allowed just one earned run. Jordan Montgomery was lit up for five runs on nine hits in four innings against Baltimore in his last start. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-15-23 | Lions v. Bucs +3.5 | 20-6 | Loss | -116 | 157 h 12 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on TB. The Bucs are 3-1, in first place in the NFC South, and their only loss came against the defending NFC champs Philadelphia. As good as they have looked, they are still getting points as a home dog against the Detroit Lions. The Lions are 4-1, and they have looked good so far. I still think it's a bit much to have them coming in as a road favorite against a 1st place team. Jared Goff is off to a good start after having a solid season last year. One thing that has carried over, is that his home/away splits remain dramatic. Last year he had 23 TDs and home and just six on the road, this year he has 6 TDs at home and two on the road. The Bucs boast a Top 10 defense, and they should be in this game from start to finish. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-15-23 | Colts +5.5 v. Jaguars | 20-37 | Loss | -110 | 161 h 29 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on INDY. The Colts are tied for first place in the NFC South, but the winner of this week's game at Jacksonville will take sole possession of the top spot in the division. Rookie QB Anthony Richardson is on the IR, leaving Minshew Mania to run the offense. I think Indy is in better shape with Minshew, who is a more proven commodity in the NFL. So far this season the Colts are 3-0 in games that Minshew has played the majority of the snaps, and 0-2 in the games with Richardson at the helm. The Jags are in a let down spot coming off back to back wins in London. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-15-23 | Panthers v. Dolphins -13.5 | 21-42 | Win | 100 | 154 h 55 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on MIA. The Dolphins lead the NFL in scoring, averaging 36 points per game. They host the winless Carolina Panthers, and Carolina ranks 28th in scoring defense allowing 29 points per game. Bryce Young is perhaps biting off more than he can chew as a rookie starter on a poor team. The last time the Dolphins played Carolina they won by a score of 31-10, and there's no reason to expect a competitive game here in Miami this week. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-14-23 | NC State v. Duke UNDER 48.5 | 3-24 | Win | 100 | 145 h 15 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. The Blue Devils have had a week off to recover from their heartbreaking loss to Notre Dame, and now they host NC State without starting QB Riley Leonard. We are likely to see freshman Henry Belin IV at QB, and that should mean a conservative game plan relying heavily on the running game and the defense. Duke ranks 4th nationally in scoring defense, and the Wolfpack are starting a backup quarterback who threw three INTs in his debut against Marshall last week. I expect MJ Morris to struggle against this Duke defense. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-14-23 | UCLA v. Oregon State -4 | 24-36 | Win | 100 | 145 h 12 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Oregon State. The Bruins couldn't get anything going on offense when they played on the road at Utah, and a trip to Corvallis might just be a recurring nightmare for UCLA. That same Utah team that UCLA had so much trouble with, was held to seven points in a crushing 21-7 loss at Corvallis a week later. Far more significant than the results versus a common opponent, are the similarities in playing in such a hostile environment. The Beavers are 16-4 ATS in their last 20 home games. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-14-23 | UAB v. UTSA -9 | 20-41 | Win | 100 | 124 h 53 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on UTSA. I had UTSA last week and I said this prior to their game at Temple: "I was one of many who were high on UTSA heading into the season, but they struggled losing three of their first four games. Put the blame on poor play from starting QB Frank Harris, who has missed the last two games due to injury. The Roadrunners come out of the bye week looking to flip the switch. They couldn't ask for a better spot for a get right game, and Harris is expected to return." Harris threw for 338 yards and three TDs on 25-of-33 passing in the win at Temple, and he should be primed for a big game at home versus UAB. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-14-23 | UCLA v. Oregon State UNDER 54.5 | 24-36 | Loss | -115 | 57 h 38 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. The Bruins couldn't get anything going on offense when they played on the road at Utah, and a trip to Corvallis might just be a recurring nightmare for UCLA. That same Utah team that UCLA had so much trouble with, was held to seven points in a crushing 21-7 loss at Corvallis a week later. Far more significant than the results versus a common opponent, are the similarities in playing in such a hostile environment. The Beavers are 16-4 ATS in their last 20 home games, and they have held opponents to single digits in all three of their home games this season. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-14-23 | Montreal v. Edmonton Elks +120 | 35-21 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on the ELKS. So the Elks played last Friday, losing on the road at 1st place Toronto. The Als on the other hand played on Monday, setting up a game on short rest on the road. Montreal clinched 2nd place in the East with Hamilton losing to BC last night. This might prevent them from taking this game seriously, and it looks like a good spot to rest starters for the playoffs. The Elks are playing for a roster spot next year. “I really don’t care how they approach it,” he said, after letting the media know he was unhappy with the Elks’ concentration level at practice Thursday afternoon. “Ours is just come out and try to hit them in the mouth and be more physical than they are. If we don’t, it’s going to be real tough on us.” - said Chris Jones. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-14-23 | Kansas -155 v. Oklahoma State | 32-39 | Loss | -155 | 119 h 54 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Kansas. The Jayhawks are 5-1 with the only loss coming on the road at Texas. They are coming off a blowout win over UCF, and backup quarterback Jason Bean only attempted a dozen passes throwing for 91 yards and a TD on 8-of-12 passing. They ran all over UCF, rushing for 399 yards and 5 TDs. The Jayhawks ran for 351 yards and 2 TDs in a 37-16 win over Oklahoma State last season. The Cowboys quarterback situation is still in disarray, with Allan Bowman completing just over 50 percent of his passes for 743 yards, 2 TDs and 3 INTs. With or without Jalon Daniels I like Kansas to get the win here. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-14-23 | Texas A&M v. Tennessee UNDER 55.5 | 13-20 | Win | 100 | 52 h 5 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. The Vols ran for 238 yards and three TDs in a win over South Carolina two weeks ago, but they face a much tougher Aggies defense this week. Texas A&M held Alabama to just 23 rushing yards last week, but Jalen Milroe and Jermaine Burton lit them up. Joe Milton hasn't been lighting anybody up this season, and he won't have his top WR Bru McCoy for the rest of the season. This game should be a defensive battle, and we should expect a low score. Both these teams have held opponents to fewer than 20 points per game. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-13-23 | BC v. Hamilton +3.5 | 33-30 | Win | 100 | 16 h 56 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on HAM. The BC Lions might be the better team here, but this is a tough spot. While a heartbreaking home loss to Winnipeg last week hasn't officially ended their quest to finish first in the West, it's likely only a matter of time. The Bombers only need to win one of their two remaining games, and they will be heavily favored in both of those contests. BC would need to win out, and hope for a miracle. I think they will still be reeling from last week's loss. Hamilton has been banged up all year, but they are coming off back to back wins over West Division opponents, and they have all their QBs back now after a long stretch with their 3rd stringer Taylor Powell. Matthew Shiltz threw for 271 yards, 2 TDs and 1 INT on 16-of-18 passing in a 38-13 win at Saskatchewan last week. The Ticats look good as a home dog here. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-12-23 | Braves v. Phillies +1.5 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 17 h 60 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on PHI. The Braves will send their ace to the mound as they look to avoid elimination in Philly tonight. Their bats have cooled off in the post-season, scoring just five runs through the first two games. Strider pitched well in Game 1, but didn't get any run support. He allowed a pair of runs on five hits and two walks in seven innings. Rangers Suarez only went 3 2/3 innings in Game 1, but with help from the bullpen the Phillies shutout the Braves. The Phillies won this series 3-1 last season, and we will not be surprised if history repeats itself here in 2023. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-12-23 | Red Wings v. Devils OVER 6.5 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 12 h 39 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on Over. We don't want to overreact to the pre-season, but the Devils did score an NHL best 30 goals in just seven games. The Red Wings weren't far off, tallying 29 in eight games. The Devils offense should pick up where it did last season, leading the Metropolitan Division in scoring. Neither of these teams have great goaltending, and the defense should be a bit sloppy early in the season. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-11-23 | Braves v. Phillies -121 | 2-10 | Win | 100 | 14 h 53 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on PHI. The story of the post-season is that regular season records aren't worth a damn. The Braves lost to Philly in the Division Series last year, and they are on upset alert again here. Aaron Nola will toe the slab for Philly, and he was sharp in his last start against the Braves. He allowed a pair of runs on six hits, striking out eight in six innings in an extra-innings win for Philly at the end of September. The Braves pitching staff has been decimated by injury, and they haven't named a starter. History repeats itself. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-10-23 | Seattle Kraken +1.5 v. Golden Knights | 1-4 | Loss | -165 | 32 h 45 m | Show | |
This is a 3* play on SEA +1.5. The Vegas Golden Knights will raise the Stanley Cup banner in their home opener tonight, and we might see a "Stanley Cup Hangover" in effect. The Golden Knights finished first in the Western Conference last year with 111 points, while Seattle finished 11 points back in the standings. Perhaps it is notable that the Kranen had a better road record (26 wins) than Vegas had at home (25 wins). I like Seattle to pull off the upset here in Sin City. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-10-23 | Orioles v. Rangers -133 | 1-7 | Win | 100 | 16 h 47 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Texas. So the Orioles finished 11 games ahead of the Rangers in the American League during the regular season, but not one of those wins count here in the playoffs. Texas comes home with all the momentum off back to back wins in Baltimore. Nate Eovaldi will toe the rubber for the Rangers, and he has experience in the post-season. In 2018 he appeared in six games for the Red Sox, going 2-1 with a 1.61 ERA and won the World Series. The Orioles hand the ball to Dean Kremer, who has never pitched in the post season. He is winless in three career starts versus Texas. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-09-23 | Packers +2.5 v. Raiders | 13-17 | Loss | -115 | 18 h 32 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on GB. The Packers will be on the road at Las Vegas, and they are the underdog in this matchup. Green Bay has the advantage of coming off a long week with extra time to prepare, and should be a lot healthier than they were when the lost to the Lions in Week 4, that isn't the only advantage. The Packers are in good shape with Jordan Love at QB, he's thrown for 901 yards, 8 TDs and 3 INTs while Jimmy G has thrown more picks (6) than TDs (5). Playing his first game back coming off a concussion looks like a tough spot for Jimmy G and the Raiders. The books have the wrong team favored here. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-09-23 | Phillies +1.5 v. Braves | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 15 h 29 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on PHI. The Phillies won the Division Series versus Atlanta last year 3-1, and we could see history repeat itself here in 2023. Zack Wheeler will toe the slab for Philly tonight, and he was dominant against the Braves in the regular season. In his two starts in Atlanta, he allowed just two runs on six hits while striking out 18 and winning both games. The Braves hand the ball to Max Fried, who has struggled against Philly. The Phillies lineup is batting a combined .299 over 194 at bats versus Fried. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-09-23 | Ottawa v. Montreal -6 | 3-29 | Win | 100 | 10 h 21 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on MTL. The Als crushed the Redblacks in Ottawa last week, winning by a score of 32-15. Now they play at home versus Ottawa on Thanksgiving, and this is a big game for Montreal. Currently tied with Hamilton for second place in the East, the ALs will move ahead of the Ticats with a win over Ottawa. The Redblacks defense has allowed 27.4 points per game this season, only Saskatchewan has allowed more. Ottawa has lost six of seven road games, and they are 3-7 straight up in their last 10 versus Montreal. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-08-23 | Twins +1.5 v. Astros | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 16 h 41 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on MIN +1.5. The Twins are desperate to draw even with Houston after losing Game 1, and they draw a favorable matchup in Game 2. Pablo Lopez will toe the slab for the Twins, and his numbers are better on the road than they were in Minnesota this season. Lopez allowed one run on five hits in a 3-1 win in Game 1 of the Wild Card series versus Toronto. The Astros hand the ball to Framber Valdez, who also has better numbers away from home. His last two home starts were ugly losses to the two worst teams in the AL (Kansas City and Oakland). GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-08-23 | Jets +3 v. Broncos | 31-21 | Win | 100 | 159 h 10 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on NYJ. The Broncos shouldn't be a favorite against anybody.The Bears were up big in the 4th quarter last week, but they handed Denver the game. They gave up a fumble recovery for a TD, turned the ball over on downs in field goal range and Justin Fields threw an interception on the Bears final possession. Not even Zach Wilson could eff up a game that bad! At least the Jets can play defense. An ugly and undeserving win over the Bears doesn't in any way convince me that the players are buying into what Sean Payton is selling in Denver. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-08-23 | Giants v. Dolphins -9 | 16-31 | Win | 100 | 157 h 50 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on MIA. The Dolphins scored 70 in their last home game, and then got humbled in a blowout loss at Buffalo. This is a good bounce back spot for The Fish back home against a banged up Giants team on short rest. No way Vanilla Vick and the GMEM are gonna be able to keep up to Tua, Tyreek and the Dolphins #1 ranked offense. Bet this game quick because the number will likely get bet up before Sunday.

10-08-23 | Saints v. Patriots -122 | 34-0 | Loss | -122 | 156 h 52 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on the PATS. So both these teams were embarrassed last week, but the Patriots were on the road at Dallas while the Saints were a home favorite versus Tampa. Baker Mayfield looked like Tom Brady, and Derek Carr did his best Ryan Leaf impression. I gotta back Bill and the Pats back home off an ugly loss. Both teams have their issues at QB, but Mac Jones has been better at home, and Derek Carr ranks 23rd in the NFL in passing, just ahead of Desmond Ridder. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-08-23 | Newcastle United v. West Ham United OVER 2.5 | 2-2 | Win | 100 | 43 h 6 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Over. There are only four teams in the Premier League that have both scored 10 or more goals and conceded 10 or more goals through their first seven matches. One of those teams is West Ham, and they host a Newcastle side that ranks second in the Premier League in scoring with 18 goals. Both teams have scored in each of the last five head to head meetings between these teams. The most recent meeting was a 5-1 away win for Newcastle in April of 2023. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-07-23 | Oregon State v. California UNDER 52 | 52-40 | Loss | -117 | 66 h 0 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. The Oregon State Beavers offense is heavily reliant on their running game, ranking 16th nationally averaging 206 yards per game. California ranks even higher, averaging 212 yards per game. Both teams are pretty solid on defense, so we should expect this game to be rock fight. The Golden Bears have gone under in all three of their home games so far, and with both teams looking to establish the run we could see a low score here. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-07-23 | Central Florida v. Kansas -1 | 22-51 | Win | 100 | 60 h 49 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on KAN. Even if starting QB Jalon Daniels can't play, I think Kansas has enough weapons to blow past UCF at home. Central Florida was outscored 26-0 in the fourth quarter of a home loss to Baylor last week. Timmy McClain struggled at quarterback for UCF, completing just 13-of-25 passes for 234 yards, 2 TDs and an INT. Jason Bean has seven starts dating back to last season, and he threw for 17 TDs and just four INTs in those games. He also ran for four TDs in five starts last year. If Daniels plays, it will be a bonus getting the Jayhawks at this number. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-07-23 | Rangers v. Orioles -137 | 3-2 | Loss | -137 | 11 h 50 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on BAL. The Orioles host Texas in Game 1 of the ALDS Saturday, and this is a matchup between Baltimore's ace versus the Rangers 5th starter. Andrew Heany has struggled versus the Orioles this season, going 1-1 with a 7.45 ERA in two starts. The Orioles hand the ball to Kyle Bradish, who pitched well against Texas. He allowed one run on five hits in two starts, posting an ERA of 1.08 in those games. The Orioles have won seven of the last 10 head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-07-23 | UTSA -13 v. Temple | 49-34 | Win | 100 | 95 h 10 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on UTSA. I was one of many who were high on UTSA heading into the season, but they struggled losing three of their first four games. Put the blame on poor play from starting QB Frank Harris, who has missed the last two games due to injury. The Roadrunners come out of the bye week looking to flip the switch. They couldn't ask for a better spot for a get right game, and Harris is expected to return. Temple ranks 11th in the American Athletic Conference in scoring defense allowing 31 points per game. They allowed 48 points and 533 yards of total offense in a loss to Tulsa last week. Harris and the Roadrunners offense should pick this team apart. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-07-23 | Oklahoma v. Texas -6 | 34-30 | Loss | -110 | 118 h 43 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Texas. So the Longhorns won the Red River Rivalry game in a 49-0 blowout last year. Some might say that this sets up a revenge spot here in this game. The Sooners are 5-0, however they have yet to face a ranked team. Texas won by double digits at #3 ranked Alabama in Week 2, and then last week they steamrolled #24 Kansas at home. Quinn Ewers has thrown for 1,358 yards, 10 TDs and 1 INT while playing a challenging schedule. I think it's asking too much of Oklahoma to compete in this game. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-07-23 | Sheffield United v. Fulham -165 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 21 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Fulham. Sheffield United has been shockingly poor defensively, losing three straight matches in the Premier League. They are winless in seven matches overall this season, and they have been outscored by a combined 12-1 in their last three matches. The home side is 3-1-1 in the last four head to head meetings. Fulham looks good to earn full poi9nts here in this favorable matchup. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-06-23 | Winnipeg v. BC OVER 50.5 | Top | 34-26 | Win | 100 | 17 h 41 m | Show |
This is a 5* play on Over. These two teams rank 2nd and 3rd in scoring in the CFL, and we should see plenty of scoring in an indoor game in BC tonight. The lions have gone over in four straight, and Winnipeg has gone over in eight of their last 10. The BC defense has looked suspect, allowing 29.4 points per game in their last five overall. Winnipeg QB Zach Collaros leads the CFL with 30 TD passes so far, while BC QB Vernon Adams Jr. leads the league in passing averaging 308 yards per game. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-04-23 | Diamondbacks v. Brewers UNDER 7.5 | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 14 h 44 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. The D'Backs won 6-3 in Game 1, and it was the only game that went over on yesterday's card. It looks like Game 2 could be a potential pitcher's duel. Zach Gallen will toe the slab for Arizona, and he owns the Brewers. He's 2-0 with a 0.64 ERA in two starts versus the Brew Crew this season, and the Brewers lineup is hitting .171 over a combined 70 at bats against him. The Brewers hand the ball to Freddy Peralta, and he's allowed just two runs on four hits, striking out 19 over 12 1/3 innings in his last two home starts. The Brewers went under in five of their final six home games during the regular season. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-04-23 | Paris Saint-Germain v. Newcastle United | Top | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 21 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Newcastle. Newcastle is undefeated in their last five matches in all competitions, and they have posted five consecutive clean sheets. They have outscored the opposition 12-0 in those games. PSG is coming off a draw against the last place team in League 1. Paris sits just 5th in the table in the French league, and still bettors have them pegged as a favorite here against one of the top teams in the Premier League. PSG will be lucky to come away with a point here. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-03-23 | Diamondbacks v. Brewers -179 | 6-3 | Loss | -179 | 29 h 25 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on the Brew Crew. Arizona comes in on a four game losing streak, and they turn to the back end of their rotation while the Brewers send their ace to the hill. Brandon Pfaadt will toe the slab for Arizona, and he's 3-9 with a 5.72 ERA this season. The Brewers hand the ball to Corbin Burnes who is 1-1 with a 2.52 ERA in his last five starts. Milwaukee has won four of their last five games overall. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-02-23 | Chelsea v. Fulham +0.5 | 2-0 | Loss | -116 | 12 h 41 m | Show | |
This is a 3* play on Fulham. Chelsea is a disaster, sitting just a few points clear of the relegation zone after six game in the Premier League. They lost to Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa, and played to a draw against Bournemouth. They play at Fulham, who have earned points in four of their last five matches. The only defeat during that span came at Manchester City. The last time these London rivals played in the Premier League, the result was a scoreless draw. A draw wouldn't be a bad result for both teams here, but the way Chelsea has been playing it would be no surprise if they find a way to lose. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-01-23 | Raiders v. Chargers -3.5 | Top | 17-24 | Win | 100 | 154 h 27 m | Show |
This is a 5* play on LAC. The 1-2 Chargers are a small home favorite against the 1-2 Raiders. Clearly the Chargers have a huge edge at QB with Justin Herbert versus Jimmy G. The Chargers have been more effective running the ball, and we should see Austin Ekeler back this week. Neither team has been great defensively but it's tough to see the Raiders keeping up in a shootout. LV was just 2-7 on the road last season, including a 24-19 loss at LA. Keep in mind the Raiders only win came by just 1-point against an 0-3 team that gave up 70 points last week. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-01-23 | Padres -155 v. White Sox | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 13 h 11 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on the Padres. A strong finish will be too little, too late for the Padres, but they look to wrap up with a win in Chicago in their final game of the season. They come in as winners of 13 of their last 15 overall. Jose Urena will toe the slab for Chicago, and he hasn't pitched in a win this season. Urena is 0-3 with a 5.31 ERA in his time with Chicago, and his team has lost in every one of his 13 appearances this season. The Padres hand the ball to 26 year old Pedro Avila, who is 2-2 with a 3.57 ERA in 13 appearances. The Friars bats have been hot at the end of the year. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-01-23 | Ravens v. Browns -140 | 28-3 | Loss | -140 | 151 h 13 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on CLE. The Browns are 2-1, and they probably should have beaten Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football in Week 2. The loss of Nick Chubb is going to hurt, but Kareem Hunt looked good in last week's win over Tennessee. He should play a bigger role moving forward. The defense has held opponents to just six points in two home games. Baltimore comes in with several key injuries on offense, and the Ravens lost 13-3 at Cleveland last December. We expect a similar outcome here in this game. GL, Jesse Schule |
