12-02-17 | Memphis v. Central Florida -7 | 55-62 | Push | 0 | 13 h 52 m | Show | |
Memphis vs UCF Free Pick December 2, 2017. The Memphis Tigers and the Central Florida Knights rank 4th and 1st nationally in scoring offense. Both teams average well over 40 points per game, so it's no surprise that the bookmakers are expecting a high scoring game here. The total opened at 81, and was quickly bet up as high as 85. The last time these teams met, the Knights held Memphis to just 13 points. They out-gained the Tigers by more than 200 yards, and forced four turnovers. UCF is asked to cover a seven point spread, but that's only one TD in a game that is expected to have as many as a dozen TDs scored. The total for this game is far higher than it was in any of the last 10 meetings dating back to 2005. Central Florida won all 10 of those games, and covered in all five home games during that span. Four of the last five meetings have gone under, with the exception being a 35-17 Central Florida win in 2012. The Tigers hopes rest solely on quarterback Riley Ferguson, who threw three INTs the last time he played at Central Florida. The Knights are a well rounded team that can run, pass and play defense. I'll take the home favorite here in Orlando. Take UCF. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

11-26-17 | Bills v. Chiefs OVER 46.5 | 16-10 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 43 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on BUF@KC to go OVER the total. The Buffalo Bills have given up 135 points in three straight losses, and they appear to have given up on this season. They decided to bench starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor in last week's game against LA, and rookie Nathan Peterman threw five INTs in just the first quarter. Taylor came in and threw for 158 yards and a TD and ran for 38 yards and another score, but the Bills lost by a score of 54-24. The Chiefs have lost four of their last five, and rookie RB Kareem Hunt hasn't run for 100 yards since Week 5 at Houston. He should be due for a breakout performance against a Buffalo defense that has allowed an NFL high 16 rushing TDs this season. The Chiefs defense has been questionable all season long, even during their 5-0 start. Kansas City ranks 26th in the NFL in total defense, and injuries to several starting linebackers isn't going to help much. The Bills have gone over the total in five straight overall, and six of their last seven when coming off a loss. I expect both teams to put points on the board here in Kansas City this week. Take OVER. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

11-25-17 | Washington State +10.5 v. Washington | Top | 14-41 | Loss | -110 | 66 h 35 m | Show |
This is an 8* play on the Washington State Cougars. This is as good as a Washington State team that I have seen in the Mike Leach era, and the Cougars have a chance to punch their ticket to the PAC12 Championship Game with a win this week. Standing in their way is rival Washington, and the Huskies laid a beating on them in last year's Apple Cup. Things have changed though, and this year the Huskies are already eliminated from advancing to the conference championship game. The Huskies offense has struggled the last few weeks, losing 30-22 at Stanford and hanging on to beat Utah 33-30 at home last week. Senior quarterback Luke Falk is coming off back to back games with 300+ yards and three TDs. Huskies coach Chris Peterson acknowledges that it's going to be tough to stop the PAC12's leading passer: "Of course Luke Falk has been in that system forever," Petersen said. "I mean, is he ever going to graduate? He's been there forever. He knows that system inside and out. "I think he looks better. He looks more comfortable. He has a great feel for when the rush is coming, he'll get it out and when it's not, he'll hang onto the ball and let his guys work. There's a reason that they are where they are right now and what they're playing for." The Cougars have already proved that they can compete with the big boys, beating USC at home in September. I like their chances of keeping this game close, with so much at stake. Take WSU. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-25-17 | Vanderbilt v. Tennessee -115 | 42-24 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 13 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Tennessee Volunteers. Both Vanderbilt and Tennessee have struggled this season, and neither team has a win in the SEC. The Vols have at least been involved in a few close games that they had a chance to win. Losing to South Carolina, Florida and Kentucky by six points or less. The Commodores have been blown out by 20+ points in four of their last five losses. Vanderbilt has given up more points, and has been a complete disaster offensively. Starting quarterback Kyle Shurmur has thrown seven INTs in his last two starts. The Vols aren't exactly lighting it up on offense either, but at least freshman Jarrett Guarantano has done a good job protecting the football. He's only been picked off despite appearing in eight games, and throwing for 814 yards and two TDs while completing over 60 percent of his passes. The home team has covered in five of the last six head to head meetings in this series, and the Commodores haven't covered in any of their seven SEC games this year. I like the Vols to get a feel good win in front of the home fans. Take TEN. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

11-25-17 | Alabama v. Auburn OVER 47.5 | 14-26 | Loss | -110 | 105 h 53 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on ALA@AUB to go OVER the total. The Alabama Crimson Tide are still undefeated, but they appear to be about as vulnerable as they have ever been. Two weeks ago against Mississippi State they needed to rally late in a game that they were losing in the fourth quarter. They have been hit hard by injuries to several key defensive players. Not only did they lose a pair of linebackers in the win over LSU a few weeks ago, but they had already lost two star linebackers in Week 1 against Florida State. Minkah Fitzpatrick is hoping to play with a sore hamstring, but he's nowhere near 100 percent. They face an Auburn team that has scored 40+ points in all four games during a four game win streak. That includes a 40-17 home win over #1 ranked Georgia. They gained 488 total yards on the Bulldogs defense, and I like their chances of doing the same thing here against Alabama. The Crimson Tide have been extremely fortunate so far, padding their stats against weak opponents. Their most impressive win was at home to LSU, in a game where they were out-gained 306-299 in total yards. I expect both teams to score their fair share of points in the Iron Bowl. Take OVER.

Alabama vs Auburn Free Pick November 25, 2017. The Alabama Crimson Tide are still undefeated, but they appear to be about as vulnurable as they have ever been. Two weeks ago against Mississippi State they needed to rally late in a game that they were losing in the fourth quarter. They have been hit hard by injuries to several key defensive players. Not only did they lose a pair of linebackers in the win over LSU a few weeks ago, but they had already lost two star linebacks in Week 1 against Florida State.

11-25-17 | Ohio State v. Michigan UNDER 50.5 | 31-20 | Loss | -110 | 96 h 34 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on OSU@MICH to go UNDER the total. The Buckeyes are a big favorite on the road at Michigan, but this has never been an easy game for Ohio State. We've already seen a few double-digit dogs win outright here in rivalry week (Mississippi and Pittsburgh), and I wouldn't be surprised if this game is a lot closer than some people expect. Last year the Buckeyes won at home in overtime by a score of 30-27. I had the under in that game, and while there were only 34 points scored in regulation, it went over for the fourth consecutive time in this series. This Michigan team doesn't have the same offensive firepower it had a year ago, and the Wolverines were held to just 234 total yards while scoring 10 points in a loss to Wisconsin last week. Backup quarterback John O'Korn threw for just 19 yards on 2-of-8 passing, and he comes into this weeks game completing just over 50 percent of his passes this season with one TD and five INTs in seven appearances (four starts). The Wolverines have only played one game all year that has seen more than 50 combined points scored. The total for today's game is far higher than it was in each of the last two head to head meetings between these teams. Take Under. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

11-24-17 | Missouri v. Arkansas OVER 70 | 48-45 | Win | 100 | 13 h 13 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on MIZZ@ARK to go OVER the total. I bet on Missouri last week in their blowout win over Vanderbilt, and here is what I said before that game: "The Tigers have struggled against the top teams in the SEC, but playing the bottom tier teams has been a cakewalk so far. Missouri is coming off four straight wins, averaging over 50 points per game during that span. They dropped 50 on Tennessee at home last week, and they beat Florida by a whopping 29 points at home a week earlier." They led 35-0 at the half last week, and held on to win 45-17. The Tigers might face a much tougher test here at Arkansas, as the home team has covered in five straight meetings between the two teams. The Razorbacks have gone over in four of their last five home games, and I like their chances of scoring their fair share of points here in their final game of the season. Starting quarterback Austin Allen missed four games due to injury, but he's been solid when healthy. He's thrown for seven TDs and just three INTs in five home starts. As well as Missouri has been playing lately, I still think their defense is vulnerable. Arkansas should be able to score enough points to keep this game interesting. Take OVER. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-23-17 | Ole Miss v. Mississippi State UNDER 62.5 | 31-28 | Win | 100 | 69 h 30 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on MISS@MISST to go UNDER the total. How good is Mississippi State? Well if you look at their 8-3 record, you see three losses. Those losses came against three teams in the Top 10, who are all currently in the hunt for a playoff spot. They rank 20th nationally in scoring defense, holding opponents to under 20 points per game. The Bulldogs are a big favorite here in the Egg Bowl versus rivals Mississippi, and they are expected to win by three scores. The Rebels have scored plenty of points this season, but not on the road against ranked teams. They scored a total of 26 points in losses at Alabama and Auburn, and they are just 4-13 ATS in their last 17 road games. These teams have a history of playing low scoring games, failing to reach the total in 11 of the last 15 meetings. Only one of the Bulldogs games this season saw more than a combined 60 points, and that was a blowout win over LA-Tech. Rebels quarterback Jordan Ta'amu threw for just 189 yards on 19-of-34 passing in a home loss to Texas A&M last week. I don't expect him to be any more successful here at Starkville. Take UNDER.

11-23-17 | Vikings v. Lions +3 | 30-23 | Loss | -105 | 25 h 27 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Detroit Lions. The Vikings are sitting in first place in the NFC North with an 8-2 record, but I am still a skeptic. This is a team that lost both it's starting quarterback and it's leading rusher early in the year. Veteran backup Case Keenum has done a terrific job, and Latavius Murray and Jerrick McKinnon have done a decent job filling in for Dalvin Cook. But when I look at Minnesota's schedule, I see wins against Cleveland, Tampa, Baltimore, Chicago and Green Bay without Aaron Rodgers. They lost at home to Detroit in October, and now they come into the Motor City asked to cover a handful of points as a road favorite. I look at the Lions, and I see a team that is far better than it's 6-4 record. Three of those four losses came in one possession games, and that includes a controversial 30-26 loss to the Falcons, when Detroit's game winning TD was called back after video review. The Vikings have lost three straight versus the Lions, despite being favored to win in two of those three games. The underdog is 9-3-1 ATS in the last 13 meetings between the two teams, and the Vikings have failed to cover in seven of their last 10 road games. Take DET. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-20-17 | Falcons v. Seahawks OVER 45 | Top | 34-31 | Win | 100 | 42 h 54 m | Show |
This is an 8* play on ATL@SEA to go OVER the total. The Seahawks have held five of their last six opponents to less than 20 points, but the loss of Richard Sherman and Kam Chancellor is likely to hurt their defense. They host the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football, and Atlanta is coming off a 27-7 home win over Dallas. Matt Ryan has had an off year, but he has a history of putting up big numbers against the Seahawks. He faced Seattle twice last year, throwing for over 300 yards in both games, including a 26-24 loss at Seattle. The Falcons knocked Seattle out of the playoffs with a 36-20 home win in the first round. These two teams have a history of playing high scoring games, as six of the last seven head to head meetings have gone over the total. The total for this game is actually lower than it was in each of the last four meetings. The Falcons leading rusher is expected to miss the game due to a concussion, and Seattle has struggled to run the ball all season long. We should expect to see both teams air it out early and often. Russell Wilson ranks 3rd in the NFL in passing yards, and he's thrown for 749 yards and six TDs in his last two home games. Take OVER. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

This is a 10* play on ARI@ORE to go OVER the total. The Ducks have been hit hard by injuries this season, especially at quarterback. Starter Justin Herbert was lost for the season, and his backup Taylor Alie has missed the last three games. The senior is hoping to be cleared in time to play here in the Ducks home game against Arizona. Third string quarterback Braxton Burmeister got the start in Oregon's last home game, and he was only asked to attempt a dozen passes. He was 9-of-12 for 47 yards and a TD, leading the Ducks to a 41-20 win over Utah. Royce Freeman and Tony Brooks-James each ran for over 100 yards in the win. The Ducks should be able to put points on the board against this 114th ranked Arizona defense. The Wildcats have played three road games versus PAC12 teams, and they have allowed more than 40 points in all three of those games. They have also scored more than their fair share of points, winning five of their last six and scoring an average of 48.8 points in those wins. Both these teams have a history of playing high scoring games, Oregon has gone over in 51 of it's last 69 home games. The Wildcats have gone over in 26 of their last 36 overall. Take OVER.

This is an 8* play on the Washington Redskins. Washington is just 4-4, but the Skins are coming off an impressive road win at Seattle. This could breath new life into a team that has faced plenty of adversity. The Vikings come into the nation's capital as a favorite, boasting a 6-2 record. You might remember that Minnesota was in a similar spot last seasons, and would go on to lose five of their final eight games, missing the playoffs. If we take a look at the Vikings schedule, it's tough to pick even one impressive win. Wins over the Bears, Browns, Bucs and Baltimore don't hold up to Washington's wins over the Seahawks in Seattle, the Rams in LA, and the Raiders at home. The Redskins have gotten several key players back from injury, and Kirk Cousins finally appears to be developing some chemistry with his new receiving corps. One would have thought that the Vikings would have been in trouble losing their starting quarterback Sam Bradford, and star running back Dalvin Cook. Case Keenum has overachieved, and I expect him to struggle here on the road in a hostile environment against a defense that is far better than the likes of Cleveland who he faced last week. Take WAS.

This is an 8* play on the Iowa Hawkeyes. Who would have guessed that Iowa could knock off Ohio State as an 18-point underdog? I guess I can't say I was surprised, as I had Iowa in that game. Here is what I had to say prior to kickoff: "Iowa is coming off a 17-10 home win over Minnesota, and they are now 4-1 at home. Their one loss came to Penn State, in a game that they led right up until the final play of the game, as the Nittany Lions scored the game winning TD as time expired, winning 21-19. The Hawkeyes have a history of playing the best teams in the BIG10 tough, but still they are getting a whopping 18 points as a home underdog versus Ohio State. They have played six home games against ranked teams dating back to 2014, and they are just 2-4 in those games. All six of those games were decided by single digits, and five of the six were decided by four points or less" I also made note of the fact that Iowa had a history of playing tight games against the Buckeyes: "They have won five straight against Iowa, but they failed to cover the spread in each of the last three meetings." It's a similar story when the Hawkeyes have played Wisconsin, with five of the last six meetings being decided by 10 points or less. Four of the last five games in this series have been decided by a single possession, and the road team has won outright in six straight. Iowa last played at Wisconsin in 2015, winning by a score of 10-6. It's a tough ask to expect Wisconsin to cover a double digit spread here. Take IOWA. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-11-17 | Virginia Tech v. Georgia Tech +3 | 22-28 | Win | 100 | 95 h 45 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. The Virginia Tech Hokies were exposed in a 28-10 loss to Miami last week. Most had expected them to give the Hurricanes a tougher game, but looking back on it, perhaps it's not such a surprise. The Hokies have enjoyed a pretty soft schedule, and their signature win came against a West Virginia team that ranks 89th nationally in scoring defense. The public hasn't given up on the Hokies though, as they come into Atlanta as a road favorite versus Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets are 4-4, but they've played a far tougher schedule than Virginia Tech. Three of their four losses came on the road, and three of those four losses came against ranked teams. The only home loss was a 42-41 game against Tennessee, that was decided with a failed two-point conversion in overtime. The Yellow Jackets last home game was 38-24 win over Wake Forest, and they ran for 427 yards and five TDs in that game. The Hokies struggled to defend the run last week against Miami, and they lost 30-20 at home to Georgia Tech last year. The Yellow Jackets ran for over 300 yards and three TDs in that game. I don't see any reason why the Hokies should be a road favorite here, and I'll take the points. Take GT. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

This is a 9* play on the Washington Huskies. If you have ever wondered what the Stanford Cardinal would look like without leading rusher Bryce Love, look no further than their 15-14 win over the Oregon State Beavers. The Cardinal looked certain to lose that game, but just before the Beavers were about to go into the victory formation, they fumbled the ball. That allowed Stanford to score a last minute touchdown, avoiding the upset. Stanford totaled just 222 yards on offense against the Beavers, and despite the return of Bryce Love, they failed to reach 200 yards of offense in last week's 24-21 loss to Washington State. Love only carried the ball 16 times for 69 yards in that game, and he faces a tough Huskies defense here just six days later. The Huskies boast the best run defense in the PAC12, and they rank 3rd nationally allowing just 2.6 yards per attempt. Washington is coming off a 38-3 home win over the Oregon Ducks, and running back Royce Freeman who is second behind Bryce Love in rushing yards in the PAC12. The Huskies beat Stanford 44-6 last year, and the Cardinal ran for a total of just 29 yards on 30 carries. I don't think home field is going to be enough to change the fact that the Cardinal just don't match up well against Washington. Take WAS. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

This is an 8* play on the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders get a boost with the return of their star running back this week, while the Dolphins will adjust to life without theirs. It was a curious move by Miami, sending Jay Ajayi to the Eagles via trade. The league's worst offense just lost it's most dynamic player. The move could be interpreted as throwing in the towel just halfway through the season. The Raiders have lost five of their last six, but starting quarterback Derek Carr missed three of those games. The Dolphins were without their starter Jay Cutler, and backup Matt Moore threw for just 176 yards and two picks on 25-of-44 passing in a loss to Baltimore last week. The Raiders are dealing with injuries on defense, and they haven't played well defensively this season. The Dolphins sad sacked offense may not have the weapons to take advantage of that. The Fish come into this game with one quarterback with cracked ribs (Cuter) and a backup with a sore back (Moore). The Dolphins are 15-43-2 ATS in their last 60 home games versus a team with a losing road record. Take OAK. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

This is an 8* play on KC@DAL to go OVER the total. The Kansas City Chiefs are ranked 29th in the NFL against the pass, and they have allowed an NFL worst 19 passing TDs. The Cowboys are also struggling on the defensive side of the ball, and we could see a high scoring battle here in Dallas on Sunday. The Cowboys defense has given up less than 20 points in each of it's last two games, but I think that's a bit of fool's gold. The beat the 49ers by a score of 40-10 in San Francisco, but if it wasn't for a few costly turnovers, the Niners would have put more points on the board. Last week's 33-19 win at Washington was aided by weather. They face a Chiefs team today that ranks 3rd in the NFL in scoring, and has totaled 60 points in their last two games. The Cowboys have gone over in four of their last five home games, while the Chiefs have gone over in six of their last seven overall. The Chiefs lost their last visit to Dallas by a score of 31-26, and another high scoring game is expected this Sunday. Take OVER. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

11-04-17 | Arizona +7.5 v. USC | Top | 35-49 | Loss | -110 | 146 h 35 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Arizona Wildcats. Arizona is the hottest team in the PAC12, coming into Pasadena off four straight wins over Colorado, UCLA, Cal and Washington State. They scored 45+ points in all four of those wins, doing the bulk of the damage on the ground. That could spell trouble for a USC team that ranks 87th nationally against the run. Two weeks ago they were manhandled in a 49-14 loss to Notre Dame. The Irish ran for 377 yards and five TDs in the win. The Trojans are 5-0 at home, but have failed to cover in four of those five wins. Most recently they beat Utah by a score of 28-27, needing a failed two-point conversion by the Utes to escape with the win. The Wildcats are 3-0 on the road, and their two losses this season both came in games decided by less than seven points. I expect this game to come right down to the wire, last score wins. Take ARI.

This is an 8* play on OKLA@OKST to go OVER the total. We know the Sooners rivalry with the Cowboys is commonly known as "Bedlam". Recent games between these two teams have certainly lived up to that moniker. The Cowboys are coming off a 50-39 road win over West Virginia, but I wasn't impressed with their defense in that game. The Mountaineers turned the ball over five times, and Will Grier threw four INTs. Despite those five turnovers, the Cowboys still gave up 39 points. The Sooners have also looked vulnerable on defense, and they gave up 35 points on the road at Kansas State two weeks ago. Both these teams are averaging over 40 points per game, but I expect the winner of this game to score 50+ points. The Cowboys have gone over the total in 14 of their last 20 conference games, and the over is 3-1-1 in their last five games against the Sooners. Take OVER. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-04-17 | Ohio State v. Iowa +18 | 24-55 | Win | 100 | 74 h 50 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Iowa Hawkeyes. Iowa is coming off a 17-10 home win over Minnesota, and they are now 4-1 at home. Their one loss came to Penn State, in a game that they led right up until the final play of the game, as the Nittany Lions scored the game winning TD as time expired, winning 21-19. The Hawkeyes have a history of playing the best teams in the BIG10 tough, but still they are getting a whopping 18 points as a home underdog versus Ohio State. They have played six home games against ranked teams dating back to 2014, and they are just 2-4 in those games. All six of those games were decided by single digits, and five of the six were decided by four points or less. Ohio State is coming off a come from behind win at home over Penn State, paving their way to the BIG10 Championship Game. This could set them up for a let down here on the road a week later. They have won five straight against Iowa, but they failed to cover the spread in each of the last three meetings. The Buckeyes have been one of the most overrated teams this season, as evidenced by the fact that they are 1-5 ATS in their last six versus teams with a winning record. Take IOWA.

11-04-17 | Clemson v. NC State UNDER 51 | 38-31 | Loss | -110 | 108 h 42 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on CLEM@NCST to go UNDER the total. Clemson is still the team to beat in the ACC, but the Tigers offense has dropped off a lot since last season. Kelly Bryant has played well at times, but he's thrown for just 1582 yards with six TDs and four INTs, and he hasn't scored a rushing TD since winning 34-7 over Boston College on September 23. He was knocked out of the game against Wake Forest on October 7th, and since then Dabo Swinney seems to be reluctant to have him put his body on the line. NC State is still undefeated in conference play, and whoever wins this game will be the favorite to win the division. These two teams have gone under the total in three of the last four head to head meetings, and the Wolfpack has failed to reach the total in five straight overall. Last year the Tigers beat the Wolfpack by a score of 24-17 at home, and I expect a similar score here at NCState this week. Take UNDER. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

This is a 5* play on the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers will visit the Motor City on Sunday night, and they are firing on all cylinders coming off back to back wins over Kansas City and Cincinnati. The Lions are coming off a blowout loss at New Orleans, and they've lost three of their last four overall. Not only are these teams trending in opposite directions, but the Lions have dug themselves into a hole early, trailing at halftime in each of their last four games. The Steelers have their power running game working, with LeVeon Bell running for over 300 yards the last two weeks. The Lions rank among the top teams in the NFL in rushing yards allowed, but if you look at their schedule, you will see that they've played a bunch of teams that struggle to run the football (Arizona, NYG, Minnesota). They were lit up by Saints running back Mark Ingram in their loss at New Orleans. The Steelers are 8-1 in their last nine versus Detroit, and two of those wins have come at Detroit. Take PIT.

This is a 10* play on DAL@WAS to go OVER the total. The Cowboys come into this NFC East rivalry game with a 3-3 record, but those wins came against the Giants, Cardinals and winless 49ERS. They are coming off a 40-10 win at San Francisco, which on the surface of things seems like a positive result for their defense. The score doesn't tell the whole story though, as San Francisco had been moving the ball with ease, only to see promising drives end in turnovers. Rookie quarterback CJ Beathard threw for 235 yards on 22-of-38 passing, with no TDs or INTs. Kirk Cousins should be primed for a big game against this suspect Cowboys pass defense. Cousins threw for 303 yards and three TDs in a loss to the Eagles on Monday Night. Last year he threw for a season high 449 yards and three TDs in a 31-26 loss at Dallas, and he threw for 364 yards in a 27-23 home loss to the Cowboys. We saw at least 50 combined points in both those games, and I expect to see another high scoring game here in Washington. Take OVER. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-29-17 | Falcons -4 v. Jets | 25-20 | Win | 100 | 96 h 9 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Atlanta Falcons. At 3-4 the Jets have been far more competitive than anybody thought they would be this season. We can't give them too much credit though, as their wins have come against the Browns, Dolphins and Jaguars. Atlanta's offense hasn't been as prolific as it was last year, but this week looks like a good spot for the Falcons to bust loose. The Jets pass defense has surrendered more yards than the Cleveland Browns this season, and in the past two games opponents have thrown for 583 yards and six TDs. Julio Jones is still the most dominant receiver in the game, and the Jets are going to have a tough time keeping him under wraps. "He's going to be a load," Jets head coach Todd Bowles said about Jones. "He's been triple-teamed and quadrupled. ... He's that great." This is a must win game for Atlanta, and with all the talent on both sides of the ball, they should prove to be too much to handle for a below average Jets team. Take ATL. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-28-17 | Washington State -140 v. Arizona | Top | 37-58 | Loss | -140 | 132 h 13 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Washington State Cougars. Arizona has won three straight, and the Wildcats have scored a ton of points in those games. I think they have become way overrated heading into this week's home game against Washington State. Keep in mind that wins over California and Colorado came by a combined four points. Arizona has a one-dimensional offense, and a defense that has allowed 36.5 points per game in conference play. They lost their only home game against a PAC12 team, falling 30-24 to Utah. The Cougars are a team that has had success stopping the likes of Arizona. They beat the Wildcats by a score of 69-7 last season, holding Arizona to just 286 total yards. They also won on the road at Stanford and at home versus Oregon. The Cougars have won three of their last four versus Arizona, and two of those three wins came at Arizona. This year's Cougars team is as strong as it's ever been, and I don't see Wazzu losing against an inferior Arizona team. Take WSU. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

This is an 8* play on NCST@ND to go UNDER the total. After a blowout win over USC last Saturday, the Irish are now a huge favorite at home versus NC State. This is an obvious let down spot for Notre Dame, and this isn't a great matchup. The Irish are a one-dimensional team that leans heavily on the run, and the Wolfpack have one of the most experienced, and most dominant defensive lines in the country. They come in well rested off a bye week, riding a six game win streak. Their resume includes wins at Florida State, at home to Louisville and Syracuse. These teams played last season, and the Irish were completely shut down in a 10-3 loss. The Wolfpack held Notre Dame to just 113 total yards, and 59 rushing yards on 38 attempts. In this strength versus strength matchup, we should expect points to be hard to come by. Take UNDER. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

This is an 8* play on USA@GSU to go UNDER the total. The South Alabama Jaguars will play at Georgia State Thursday, in a battle between Sun Belt Conference rivals. Georgia State is coming off a 34-10 home loss to Troy, and I think we can expect another low scoring game here against the Jaguars. These teams haven't gone over the total in any of the last four head to head meetings, and last year the Jags won by a score of 13-10. The Jaguars are coming off a high scoring win over ULM, but they had failed to reach the total in five straight prior to that. Georgia State has gone under in five of it's last seven overall. Playing on a short week, we should see both teams have a conservative approach, looking to establish their run game. Georgia State has gone under in 12 of it's last 16 conference games, 10 of it's last 13 home games, and 20 of it's last 27 games overall. Take UNDER. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

This is an 8* play on NO@GB to go UNDER the total. The Packers rank 26th in the NFL in rushing offense, averaging just 88 yards per game on the ground. Any success they have had this season has come from the arm of Aaron Rodgers, who will be sidelined for the remainder of the season with a broken collarbone. Brett Hundley came in to throw for 157 yards with a TD and three INTs in last week's 23-10 loss at Minnesota. They tried to run the ball, but with little success, totaling 72 yards on 24 carries. The Saints come in as winners of three straight, and two of those three wins came on the road. New Orleans has been solid defensively during that span, shutting out the Dolphin in London, and holding the Panthers to 13 points in Carolina. The Packers have a whole host of injuries aside from Aaron Rodgers, with several key players in the secondary ailing, and an offensive line that has been banged up all season. It's going to be asking a lot of Brett Hundley to keep this game close. I expect the Saints to grind out a win here in a low scoring game at Lambeau. Take UNDER. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-22-17 | Cardinals v. Rams -140 | 0-33 | Win | 100 | 7 h 1 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the LA Rams. The NFL's highest scoring offense will be on display in London this weekend, when the high flying Rams take on Arizona at Wembley. The Cardinals put on quite a show offensively in a 38-33 home win over Tampa last week. While scoring 38 points was impressive, giving up 33 to Tampa's offense led by backup quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick raises some eyebrows. Arizona ranks 25th in the league against the pass, and only Cleveland has allowed more passing TDs than the Cardinals. Jared Goff has had a pretty good start to the season, throwing for almost 1500 yards with eight TDs and just three INTs. He has struggled against elite defenses the last two weeks, but he should be primed for a big game here in London. Carson Palmer has struggled this season when facing heavy pressure, and he could be in trouble against this tough Rams pass rush. LA ranks second in the NFL with 20 sacks on opposing quarterbacks. Take LAR. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

This is an 8* play on the Buffalo Bills. The Buccaneers are coming off a 38-33 loss to Arizona last week, and Jameis Winston left the game early with a shoulder injury. He's expected to start here in Buffalo, but it remains to be seen how effective he will be against this tough Bills defense. Buffalo is coming off a bye week, and should be ready to pound away with their high powered running game. The Bucs have struggled to defend the run, and last week they gave up 134 yards and two TDs to a 32 year old Adrian Peterson. LeSean McCoy ran for 110 yards in Week 1, but hasn't reached the century mark since. He should benefit from the week off, and I like Shady to have a big game here against the Bucs. Tampa has looked brutal in both road games so far, and they are in a tough spot playing in cold weather in Buffalo. Jameis Winston has thrown three INTs this season, all of those on the road. Last year he was picked off 18 times, and 12 of those INTs came on the road. Take BUF. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

This is a 5* play on the Kansas City Chiefs. The Kansas City Chiefs suffered their first loss of the season on Sunday, falling 19-13 to the Pittsburgh Steelers. LeVeon Bell ran for 179 yards and a TD, and Ben Roethlisberger attempted just 25 passes, roughly half of the career high 49 attempts in the loss to Jacksonville a week earlier. The Chiefs will play at Oakland on Thursday, and the Raiders are dealing with some injuries on the offensive line. When you consider that Derek Carr is playing on short rest, in just his second start back from a serious back injury, it makes sense that Oakland should try to replicate what Pittsburgh did to the Chiefs. Carr hasn't attempted more than 34 passes in any of his games this season, and you wouldn't think it would be wise to have him throwing on every down behind a banged up offensive line. Carr threw for 225 yards with a TD and an INT on 22-of-34 passing in a 26-10 home loss to the Chiefs last season. Marshawn Lynch ran for 63 yards on 13 carries in last week's loss to the Chargers. If Jack Del Rio has even half a clue (he may not), you would expect Lynch to get a healthy workload here on a short week. The same can be said for the Chiefs, as Kareem Hunt had just nine carries on Sunday. I expect Hunt to be involved early and often, and the NFL's leading rusher should have a big night against the league's 23rd ranked run defense that has allowed opponents to average 118 rushing yards per game. It looks like the Chiefs are catching Oakland at a good time, and I think the Raiders losing skid continues tonight. Take KC. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

This is a 10* play on the Denver Broncos. The last quarterback who lost at Denver, is now on the shelf with a broken back (Derek Carr). The Broncos are now well rested, with plenty of time to heal up and prepare a game plan for the winless Giants. Eli Manning and the boys will likely arrive at Mile High Stadium, driving a heavy armored vehicle on tracks (tank). Yes that's right, at this point in the season it makes more sense for the Giants to be looking ahead at the draft. Odell Beckham Jr. and Brandon Marshall are both done for the year, and it's unclear if Sterling Sheppard will be available. Denver has won the last two meetings in this series by a combined 38 points, and another double digit win seems inevitable. The "no fly zone" defense is likely to not only stop the Giants offense, but also force turnovers and pile on points with defensive TDs. With so many injuries in the receiving corps, it would be nice for the Giants to be able to lean on their running game. New York ranks 28th in the league averaging just 77 yards per game on the ground, and Denver's defense is allowing a league low 50.8 rushing yards per game. No matter how you draw it up, this looks like it's going to be a massacre. Take DEN. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

This is a 5* play on the Kansas City Chiefs. The 5-0 Chiefs will host the 3-2 Steelers, and Kansas City is asked to cover just a handful of points. The betting public still has a lot of faith in the Steelers, despite Ben Roethlisberger coming off a career worst five INTs in a blowout home loss to Jacksonville. While it might be a little premature to write off Big Ben, there are a lot of issues that he has to overcome. There is a toxic atmosphere in the locker room, with players divided over the politics of the anthem protests. Antonio Brown had an outburst on the sideline a few weeks ago, and reports are that he and Ben have had a falling out. Kansas City's defense is allowing opposing quarterbacks to complete just 51.4 percent of their passes, and they have sacked opposing quarterbacks 14 times in five games. Pittsburgh's 28th ranked run defense will be tested by the NFL's leading rusher Kareem Hunt. The Steelers have failed to cover in four of their last five at Kansas City, and the Chiefs are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games against a team with a winning record. The home team is 7-2 ATS in the last nine head to head meetings between the two teams. Take KC. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-15-17 | Rams v. Jaguars OVER 42 | 27-17 | Win | 100 | 16 h 24 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on LAR@JAC to go OVER the total. This game will feature two of the league's best running backs, and two defenses that really struggle against the run. The Jaguars are allowing an NFL worst 5.4 yards per carry, while the Rams have allowed a league high seven rushing TDs. LA ranks second in the NFL in scoring, averaging over 30 points per game. They haven't had as much success defensively, especially on the road. In two road games, LA has given up a total of 69 points. They beat the Cowboys despite surrendering 440 total yards. This will be just the second home game for the Jaguars, and they gave up 37 points in a Week 2 home loss to Tennessee in their home opener. These teams have gone over in three straight head to head meetings. The over is 6-1 in the Rams last seven overall. Take OVER. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-15-17 | Bears v. Ravens -6 | 27-24 | Loss | -108 | 14 h 54 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Baltimore Ravens. The Bears looked quite competitive in a home loss to the Vikings on Monday night, but a road game at Baltimore looks like a much tougher spot. Chicago has played two road games this season, losing those two games by a combined 43 points. Rookie quarterback Mitch Trubisky looked brilliant at times in his NFL debut, but his 48 percent completion percentage and his late interception setting up the game winning score for the Vilkings proves he still has a long way to go. He'll face a Ravens defense that ranks second in the NFL in INTs, and first in turnovers. The Ravens are 5-2 ATS in their last seven home games, and I think they should have little trouble beating up on a bad Bears team. Chicago just doesn't appear to have enough weapons to keep this game close. Take BAL. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

This is a 10* play on Boise State Broncos. San Diego State is off to an impressive start, coming into this week's home game against rivals Boise State with a 6-0 record. Their signature win was a 20-17 home victory over #19 ranked Stanford, but their most recent home game was a lackluster 34-28 win over Northern Illinois. The Broncos are 3-2, but one of those losses was an impressive effort in a 47-44 loss at Washington State. Last week the Broncos held BYU to just 238 total yards in an impressive 24-7 road win. These teams have a history of playing close games, with two of the last three head to head meetings being decided by three points or less. The Broncos last played at San Diego State in 2013, and they lost 34-31. The underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings in this series, and I believe this San Diego State team has become significantly overvalued due to early season success. This game should be a good one, far from a cake walk for the home favorite. I'll take the points. Take BSU. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

10-14-17 | Texas Tech v. West Virginia -4.5 | 35-46 | Win | 100 | 132 h 47 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the West Virginia Mountaineers. The West Virginia Mountaineers aren't getting a lot of respect here at home versus Texas Tech. After all this is a team that they trounced by a score of 48-17 last year, and that game was at Lubbock. With the Red Raiders coming to Morgantown, I see no reason why the result will be any different. Sure Texas Tech has improved defensively, but they still lost 41-34 at home to Oklahoma State two weeks ago. Their offense doesn't appear to be quite as prolific as it was with Patrick Mahomes at quarterback. Nic Shimonek threw for 330 yards with 1 TD and an INT on 29-of-46 passing in the loss to the Cowboys. That was a home game, and now he's playing on the road against a far better defense in West Virginia. The Red Raiders lost 31-26 in their last game at Morgantown (back in 2015). Texas Tech might look like a sexy pick as a dog, but keep in mind that the Red Raiders have lost 16 straight versus Top 25 teams. Take WVU. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-14-17 | Texas Tech v. West Virginia UNDER 80 | 35-46 | Loss | -110 | 83 h 44 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on TTU@WVU to go UNDER the total. The West Virginia Mountaineers aren't getting a lot of respect here at home versus Texas Tech. After all this is a team that they trounced by a score of 48-17 last year, and that game was at Lubbock. With the Red Raiders coming to Morgantown, I see no reason why the result will be any different. Sure Texas Tech has improved defensively, but they still lost 41-34 at home to Oklahoma State two weeks ago. Their offense doesn't appear to be quite as prolific as it was with Patrick Mahomes at quarterback. Nic Shimonek threw for 330 yards with 1 TD and an INT on 29-of-46 passing in the loss to the Cowboys. That was a home game, and now he's playing on the road against a far better defense in West Virginia. The Red Raiders lost 31-26 in their last game at Morgantown (back in 2015). Texas Tech might look like a sexy pick as a dog, but keep in mind that the Red Raiders have lost 16 straight versus Top 25 teams. The under is 12-2 in West Virginia's last 14 games in October.

10-14-17 | NC State v. Pittsburgh UNDER 54 | 35-17 | Win | 100 | 6 h 58 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on NCST@PIT to go UNDER the total. Pittsburgh's Homecoming game against the Wolfpack looks tough. The Panthers lost starting quarterback Max Browne for the season, and backup Ben Dincucci hasn't looked great at all. The sophomore has completed just 55 percent of his passes for 422 yards with two TDs and two INTs. He's going up against one of the top defensive lines in the country, and adding insult to injury, their leading rusher is also suspended indefinitely. This looks like it could be a defensive battle, as the Wolfpack have gone under in eight straight against ACC teams, and Pittsburgh has failed to reach the total in six of it's last seven overall. The Panthers have lost to Syracuse, Georgia Tech and Penn State, but none of those games saw enough combined points to reach the total listed for this week's game against the Wolfpack. Take UNDER.

10-13-17 | Clemson v. Syracuse +24 | Top | 24-27 | Win | 100 | 16 h 1 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Syracuse Orange. Clemson opened as a 21 point favorite, but public money has pushed this line up several points during the week. It might be tough for the defending champions to get up for this game, and it could be a spot where they get caught looking ahead with Georgia Tech and NC State coming up in the next few weeks. The status of starting quarterback Kelly Bryant had been in question, but he is expected to start despite suffering from an ankle injury. We might expect the injury to discourage him from running the ball, and his passing numbers have been rather pedestrian. He's thrown just four TD passes and four INTs in six starts. Syracuse is 3-3, and all three losses have come by single digits. They lost 35-26 at LSU, and 33-25 at N.C. State. The Orange are 3-1 at home, and their last home game versus Clemson was a 37-27 loss back in 2015. Eric Dungey ranks among the nation's leading passers, with 1802 yards, nine TDs and four INTs. He's proven to be quite capable of padding his stats in garbage time, which might be exactly what is required to get a back door cover. Take SYR. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

10-11-17 | South Alabama v. Troy UNDER 50 | 19-8 | Win | 100 | 14 h 51 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on USA@TROY to go UNDER the total. The Troy Trojans are coming off a shocking 24-21 upset win over LSU. They will have to try to avoid a let down here at home against a tough conference rival Wednesday. These teams have played some close games over the years, and four of their last five head to head meetings have failed to reach a combined 50 points. Both teams favor the ground game over an air attack, and we should see a gritty, low scoring battle in Alabama. Troy has a great defense, ranking 24th nationally allowing just 18.6 points per game. The under is 15-5-1 in the Trojans last 21 games overall. Even more telling is the fact that they have only gone over in one of their last 12 versus conference rivals. The Jaguars are trending in the same direction, coming off four straight games that failed to reach the total. Take UNDER. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-09-17 | Vikings v. Bears +3 | 20-17 | Push | 0 | 69 h 6 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Chicago Bears. The Vikings are a favorite here in Chicago, despite the fact that they are 0-1 on the road, and coming off a home loss to the Lions. They are expecting starting quarterback Sam Bradford to return from from a knee injury, but they have plenty of other injury concerns. Leading rusher Dalvin Cook was lost for the season after suffering an ACL tear in the loss to the Lions last week. Latavius Murray will take over as the feature back, and he's averaged just 2.7 yards per carry so far. The biggest story heading into this MNF contest will be the debut of rookie quarterback Mitch Trubisky. He completed 68 percent of his passes for 364 yards with three TDs and no INTs while playing in four pre-season games for the Bears. If Chicago comes in expecting him to do what Deshaun Watson did, then they are setting him up for failure. Watson doesn't have the dynamic duo of Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen in the backfield. If John Fox has even a few functioning brain cells, he will protect his young quarterback and lean heavily on his run game. In a game likely to be decided by a field goal, I'll take the home dog plus the points. Take CHI. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

10-08-17 | Seahawks v. Rams -128 | 16-10 | Loss | -128 | 135 h 43 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the LAR. The Rams have owned the Seattle Seahawks at home in recent seasons, winning four of the last five and covering the spread in all five of those games. Seattle comes into this game banged up, with some serious concerns on the offensive line. They lost their leading rusher last week, when Chris Carson suffered a fracture in his leg just below the knee. That leaves the veteran Eddy Lacy as the feature back running behind what might be the worst offensive line in football. The Rams are rolling, and they boast the NFL's highest scoring offense, averaging 35.5 points per game. Todd Gurley has been a beast, both in the air and on the ground. He leads the team in both receiving yards as well as rushing yards, with a combined seven TDs. Rather than suffer a let down after their big win over Dallas, I think this young team will build off the confidence gained. The home team is 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings between the two teams, and I think the Rams should be a bigger favorite here against this banged up Seattle team. Take LAR.

10-08-17 | Ravens +3 v. Raiders | 30-17 | Win | 100 | 8 h 2 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens have fallen out of favor after back to back blowout losses to Jacksonville and Pittsburgh. It was only a few weeks ago that pundits had them going to the Super Bowl behind a defense that led the league in turnovers. Playing at Oakland against a backup quarterback that is prone to turning the ball over, might just be what the doctor ordered for this Ravens defense. E.J. Manuel threw for 106 yards and an INT on 11-of-17 passing. He has thrown 19 touchdown passes in his career, along with 16 INTs and seven fumbles. Both his top two wide receivers are nursing lingering injuries, and it's unclear if Michael Crabtree will play at all. With all the challenges facing the Raiders, I just don't think they should be a favorite. I'll take the points. Take BAL, GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-08-17 | Panthers v. Lions -150 | 27-24 | Loss | -150 | 132 h 32 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Detroit Lions. The Lions are 3-1, and their only loss came in a game that they actually had won, until the game winning score came off the board after a controversial video review. They host the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, and Carolina is coming off an upset win over the Patriots at Foxboro. I believe the Panthers are overvalued, and their win over New England is nowhere near as impressive as it looks. The Patriots have statistically the worst defense in the NFL, and two of their three wins came in games that they probably should have lost. Bucs kicker Nick Folk missed three field goals in Thursday's 19-14 win at Tampa. Brady engineered an amazing game winning drive to score the go-ahead TD with seconds on the clock in their home win over Houston. It would seem like this is a major let down spot for the Panthers. The home team has won in five of the last six meetings between these two teams, and Detroit is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. When asked which quarterback has the advantage, Steve Young said that Mathew Stafford is an elite QB playing at an elite level, and he has the advantage. I tend to agree with the Hall of Famer.
