11-10-21 | North Alabama v. Mississippi State -21 | Top | 49-75 | Win | 100 | 7 h 42 m | Show |
The Mississippi State men's basketball team didn't make the NCAA Tournament last season. But the Bulldogs did make the NIT and got all the way to New York before losing to Memphis in the championship. So the next step this season would be for MSU, which hosts North Alabama in its season opener Wednesday night, to get to the NCAA Tournament. I think we'll see them with an easy win over the Lions. | |||||||
11-09-21 | Texas-Arlington v. Oklahoma State -19 | Top | 45-88 | Win | 100 | 16 h 58 m | Show |
The Cowboys lost Cunningham (20.1 points, 6.2 rebounds last season), but return 10 players from last year's roster, including its next eight highest scorers, led by junior guard Avery Anderson III (12.2). UT Arlington, which is coming off a 13-13 season, made a coaching change this offseason when it promoted longtime assistant Greg Young after former coach Chris Ogden was hired as an assistant coach at the University of Texas. I expect that the announcement that the Cowboys would not be eligible for the NCAA Tournament this season will light a fire under the Cowboys through the first couple of games. | |||||||
11-05-21 | Spurs -3.5 v. Magic | Top | 102-89 | Win | 100 | 15 h 26 m | Show |
San Antonio will be looking to stop another losing streak when it travels to Orlando on Friday night. The Spurs are on their second losing skid of the young season, having lost six of their first eight games. Orlando has been even worse, dropping seven of its first nine games to open the season. San Antonio picked up a 123-97 victory when these teams met in their season opener on Oct. 20. | |||||||
11-04-21 | Celtics v. Heat -7 | Top | 95-78 | Loss | -106 | 15 h 28 m | Show |
Miami will look to Tyler Herro to continue scoring off the bench. The 21-year old seems to have the hot hand after recording his third consecutive 20+ point outing in the Heat's most recent game. Doing an absolute number on the second unit of most teams. Herro is making a strong case as a candidate for the Most Improved Player award early in the season. The Miami Heat may also see some significant minutes from Dewayne Dedmon and Markieff Morris to support their superstar big man. | |||||||
11-03-21 | Blazers -3.5 v. Cavs | Top | 104-107 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 35 m | Show |
The Cavaliers won’t pose the same challenges that Philadelphia and Charlotte have on this trip. They have two of the best offenses in basketball. Cleveland, on the other hand, sits at 20th in the NBA in offensive rating (104.5) and 22nd in true shooting percentage (53.6%), and they will be without Kevin Love. | |||||||
10-31-21 | Jazz v. Bucks +1 | Top | 107-95 | Loss | -100 | 15 h 44 m | Show |
Giannis Antetokounmpo has continued his torrid pace after hoisting the NBA title last season. The Greek Legend is averaging 27.6 points, 11 rebounds, and an impressive 6.6 dimes so far this season. He had a phenomenal game vs. the T-Wolves with 40 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists, three blocks, and three triples two days ago. It's the fourth time Antetokounmpo has recorded at least 40 points, 15 boards, and five assists in a game, tying him with Larry Bird for the second-most such games -- Russell Westbrook has the most with five. | |||||||
10-30-21 | Magic v. Pistons -5 | Top | 103-110 | Win | 100 | 14 h 28 m | Show |
The rebuilding Magic come into this matchup losing four of their first five games to start the season. They’ve been struggling immensely on the defensive end, which was expected with their young backcourt. They currently rank last in the NBA in defensive and net rating through five games. Rookie Jalen Suggs, who had eight points and five assists against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday, is shooting 29% (18 for 63) after five games. It’s going to take the rookie some time learning the ropes at the point guard position, which is always a long curve for new players. Forward Chuma Okeke (hip), G Michael Carter-Williams (ankle), and G E'Twaun Moore (knee) have yet to play in the regular season, though none of the injuries is considered long-term. Getting healthy and rebuilding their core is key for them this season and in the coming years. | |||||||
10-29-21 | Clippers v. Blazers -2.5 | Top | 92-111 | Win | 100 | 18 h 21 m | Show |
At some point this season the Portland Trail Blazers will put together back-to-back strong performances and win consecutive games. No better time than the present given that the LA Clippers come to town for a Friday night game just a few days after handing the Blazers an embarrassing 116-86 loss Monday in California. Two nights later, the Blazers won 116-96 over Memphis (2-2). That’s a 50-point swing from the loss to the Clippers to the win over the Grizzlies. As for the Clippers, they followed up their performance against the Blazers by losing 92-79 at home to Cleveland (3-2). Blazers get revenge | |||||||
10-28-21 | Jazz -9 v. Rockets | Top | 122-91 | Win | 100 | 16 h 59 m | Show |
The Utah Jazz has regained their dominance in the league. So far, they’ve won all three of their games by an average of 14 points. Their biggest win came in last game against the Denver Nuggets. Nikola Jokic, the reigning MVP, had an injury scare in the first half and did not play in the second. After coach Mike Malone advised his talisman to leave the court, this happened. The game featured 30 lead changes and 12 ties, but the Jazz ultimately won. Rudy Gobert is averaging 18.7 points and a ridiculous 19 rebounds per game thus far, but his block average is only 0.7 per game. Jordan Clarkson is proving his worth as the league’s best bench player, averaging 17.3 points on a 50% effective field goal percentage. Mike Conley was a big part of the Utah Jazz’s playoff push in 2021, and he’s back to full strength now. He’s averaging 14.0 points per game on 44 percent three-point shooting. | |||||||
10-27-21 | Wizards v. Celtics -4.5 | Top | 116-107 | Loss | -105 | 16 h 31 m | Show |
Washington will have their work cut out for them with the Celtics, who have won their last two games. First, they’ll have to slow down Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, who combined for 71 points in their Monday night game against the Hornets. Another player to keep an eye on is Dennis Schröder. The guard seems to be finding his way on his new team and his recent performances are proof of progress being made. Last game, Schröder put up a season-high 23 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists. The Celtics will certainly have the Wizards moving fast to the backcourt so lets see if their legs are ready. | |||||||
10-26-21 | Nuggets v. Jazz -7 | Top | 110-122 | Win | 100 | 18 h 40 m | Show |
The Nuggets are scoring an average of 106.0 points per game which is 21st in the league, while shooting 52.1% overall and 37.7% from downtown. Jokic Is the scoring leader for Denver with an average of 29.5 points per game and the center is shooting 65.9% overall and 37.5% from behind the line. Will Barton is Denver's dish-king with a team-high 5.5 assists per game and Barton is also the second-leading scorer with an average of 16.0 points per game. Denver has been careless with the ball as the Nuggets are averaging 19.0 turnovers per game. | |||||||
10-25-21 | Pelicans v. Wolves -5.5 | 107-98 | Loss | -108 | 16 h 51 m | Show | |
We’ve seen this dating back to the preseason where New Orleans simply can’t make the shots needed to get off to a fast start. A deficit later follows, several attempts at a comeback are presented, but it ultimately ends up being not enough. With a bench that’s struggling, the Pelicans will need to get into a good rhythm offensively early. They can’t afford to be facing another second quarter trailing, depending on a bench that has so far been nonexistent. | |||||||
10-23-21 | Pistons v. Bulls -8 | Top | 82-97 | Win | 100 | 10 h 36 m | Show |
The Chicago Bulls have completely revamped their roster around shooting guard Zach LaVine. Looking at last season, he averaged 27.4 points, five rebounds, 4.9 assists, 0.5 blocks, and 0.8 steals in 35.1 minutes per game. He shot the ball well and should get better looks now as he shot 50.7 percent from the floor, 41.9 percent from three-point range, and 84.9 percent from the charity stripe. In his last game against the Detroit Pistons, he played 35 minutes and had 34 points, seven rebounds, four assists, a steal, and a block. If LaVine can figure out how to be a team player and be content with less touches, this team has the potential to be special. | |||||||
10-20-21 | Celtics +2 v. Knicks | Top | 134-138 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 6 m | Show |
The Boston Celtics have a solid team behind small forward Jayson Tatum. Looking at his numbers from last season, he finished with 26.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 0.5 blocks, and 1.2 steals per game in 35.8 minutes. Tatum needs to shoot a little better as he finished shooting 45.9 percent from the field, 38.6 percent from beyond the arc, and 86.8 percent from the charity stripe. He’s going to need to step up even more as they are trying to remain competitive in the East without as much help. | |||||||
10-09-21 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Giants | Top | 9-2 | Win | 160 | 12 h 58 m | Show |
Los Angeles averaged 5.11 runs per game during the season. Their .244 batting average was 11th in the league. Their .330 on base percentage was fifth, while their .429 slugging percentage was seventh. Los Angeles’ pitching was among the best during the season. Opponents had a .207 batting against the Dodgers, which was first in the league. Their 3.01 ERA also led the league, as did their 1.10 WHIP. In his last start, Urias gave up one hit and one run in 6.1 innings, leading to an 8-3 win over Milwaukee. | |||||||
10-09-21 | New Mexico +19.5 v. San Diego State | Top | 7-31 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 56 m | Show |
So what went right in the 30-3 loss to UTEP? Not much, but the defense was able to clamp down a bit in the second half, LB Trevor Brohard turned in a nice day, and … That was about it. However, the Aggies got in a few games of work in the spring and have a date under its belt before dealing with San Diego State in a strange off-campus location while the new Aztec Stadium is being built. This remains a San Diego State team that might have to find a consistently dangerous offense, it’s not going to be in familiar surroundings | |||||||
10-09-21 | Utah +3 v. USC | Top | 42-26 | Win | 100 | 11 h 20 m | Show |
It’s been a rough, rough run for the Utes – more on that in a moment – but football-wise, the team has been off for a few weeks after a desperately needed 24-13 win over Washington State. The running game started to kick it all in against the Cougars with a season-high 219 yards. This week it has to pound and pound some more against a USC defensive front that’s been fine against the mediocre but failed against the Oregon State ground attack. It’s a horribly inconsistent Trojan team – which you might expect considering the early season coaching change – with way too many penalties, not enough defensive plays behind the line, and too many turnovers. The three against Washington State made it tough early, and the four against Oregon State were devastating. Utah is 2-0 when it comes up with multiple takeaways, and 0-2 when it doesn’t | |||||||
10-09-21 | Wyoming +5.5 v. Air Force | 14-24 | Loss | -107 | 10 h 23 m | Show | |
This isn’t the Wyoming defense of past seasons, but the run D is still doing a strong job overall. It had issues against Northern Illinois, but it hasn’t allowed more than 120 yards on the ground against anyone else with a great group of tacklers in the back seven. This group doesn’t miss, starting with Chad Muma who should be in on at least 12 stops. Air Force hasn’t seen a D like this. The offensive side isn’t quite as strong on the ground, but it’s great at controlling the clock with third down conversion after third down conversion. There aren’t a ton of penalties and the turnovers are kept to a minimum – the team doesn’t beat itself. | |||||||
10-09-21 | UTSA v. Western Kentucky -3 | 52-46 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 2 m | Show | |
To be extremely fair, while UTSA is putting back Lamar, Middle Tennessee, and UNLV, WKU was playing Army and Michigan State on the road and Indiana at home. Can UTSA stop the pass? Short answer – not really. | |||||||
10-09-21 | East Carolina v. Central Florida -10 | Top | 16-20 | Loss | -103 | 9 h 7 m | Show |
The UCF offense might not be the high-powered fun show it’s supposed to be, but it still has the running game to control things against the struggling ECU defensive front. Being back at home should matter. This is a much different team in the Bounce House, Keene and the offense should be a wee bit sharper after getting a game out of the way with Gabriel out, and the offensive balance should be there to take control of the game. | |||||||
10-09-21 | SMU v. Navy +13.5 | 31-24 | Win | 100 | 7 h 46 m | Show | |
SMU’s defense doesn’t get behind the line. Again, that was a problem for UCF, and SMU doesn’t have the defensive front to make a whole slew of tackles for loss. Navy isn’t going to throw the ball a ton – that’s obviously not what it does – but it’s effective when it does take its shots down the field. It only might be for four completions or so, but the O has averaged close to 13 yards per attempt over the last two games. | |||||||
10-09-21 | Virginia +2.5 v. Louisville | Top | 34-33 | Win | 100 | 6 h 26 m | Show |
The Louisville pass defense isn’t a total disaster, but it’s the worst in the ACC. To be fair, playing Ole Miss, UCF, and Wake Forest had something to do with that, but Florida State was able to throw for 248 yards, too. Welcome to Virginia. This isn’t the slow-and-stodgy Cavalier team we’re all used to. QB Brennan Armstrong and the passing game are bombing away with close to 2,000 yards in the first five games and now it’s time to crank up. Louisville isn’t doing enough against the run, either – the overall D is the worst in the ACC – and the Cavs proved in the win over Miami that it could be a bit balanced, too. | |||||||
10-08-21 | Stanford v. Arizona State -13 | 10-28 | Win | 100 | 8 h 1 m | Show | |
The Sun Devil defense has turned into a force. QB Jayden Daniels might be the start, and the downfield passing game might be wonderful, but it’s the other side that’s holding firm with the Pac-12’s No. 1 D. UCLA was able to come up with 200 rushing yards and 235 passing, but the offense couldn’t keep up the pace in the second half after a wild and fun first half. | |||||||
10-08-21 | Lakers v. Warriors -3 | Top | 114-121 | Win | 100 | 8 h 45 m | Show |
The Warriors have had a far different preseason than the Lakers so far, as they’ve not only won both of their games, but they’ve also been playing all of their players (at least for the most part). While Frank Vogel has held LeBron James and Russell Westbrook out of both of their games, Curry has played in both contests for the Warriors. He’s averaging 13.5 points per game (in 17.4 minutes), and has gone 7-14 on 3-point attempts, because of course he has. | |||||||
10-08-21 | Mercury v. Aces -5.5 | Top | 87-84 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 60 m | Show |
Vegas has to be afraid entering Game 5 considering what happened in Games 2 and 3 when it seemed Phoenix could score at will. But that fear got the Aces to play disciplined in Game 4 and they went on a 24-0 run of their own en route to victory. Vegas has offensive firepower as well — it had the best scoring offense in the league by 5.5 points. It has the best assembly of stars in the league, hence the preseason favorite status. | |||||||
10-08-21 | Pelicans +8 v. Bulls | Top | 85-121 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 50 m | Show |
Despite this game not counting towards the 2021-22 regular season standings, the Pelicans versus the Bulls is going to be fun entertainment tonight. However, there’s no denying the fact that emotions have been ratcheted up across the local viewing area because of one questionably written article. | |||||||
10-08-21 | Charlotte v. Florida International +3.5 | Top | 45-33 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 30 m | Show |
The passing game has perked up. It was fine over the first part of the season, and despite the losses over the last two weeks on the road, the offense cranked up close to 400 yards through the air against Central Michigan and 319 in last week’s loss to Florida Atlantic. Former Maryland starter Max Bortenschlager has settled in, and the 1-2 receiving punch of Tyrese Chambers and Bryce Singleton are making big play after big play. | |||||||
10-08-21 | Braves v. Brewers -1.5 | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 25 m | Show |
Corbin Burnes has been pitching phenomenally this season according to his Baseball Savant page as he is in the 99th percentile in xERA, 99th percentile in xSLG, 98th percentile in chase rate, and 97th percentile in strikeout percentage. His 3.1 barrel percentage is more than half of the next-lowest season of his career. Burnes throws six different pitches (cutter, curveball, changeup, slider, sinker, fastball) and his curveball has been dominant as it has a .069 batting average and a .119 slugging percentage. | |||||||
10-06-21 | Jazz v. Mavs -2.5 | Top | 101-111 | Win | 100 | 5 h 31 m | Show |
While two-time All-Star Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis provided plenty of optimism for the upcoming season in Sunday's scrimmage, expect Dallas to be cautious with their stars throughout the preseason slate. Doncic and Porzingis will play the first half vs. Utah, per the plan, and all of their minutes will be with each other. | |||||||
10-06-21 | Sun v. Sky +4.5 | Top | 69-79 | Win | 100 | 4 h 44 m | Show |
To end this series now the Sky need to keep shooting the three-ball well. In their two wins, they shot 45 percent and 36 percent from three. In their loss? 26 percent. They have to take those long-range shots and they have to hit them at 36 percent or higher. Doing so forces the Sun to contest those shots and it opens up the painted area a little more, which we know Connecticut loves to pack up. Hitting those threes gives the Sky better looks for their twos. | |||||||
10-06-21 | Spurs -2.5 v. Pistons | Top | 105-115 | Loss | -107 | 3 h 9 m | Show |
The Spurs will now hit the road for the first time in more than four months after blowing out the understaffed Utah Jazz in a phenomenal preseason opener on Monday. San Antonio thrived behind a new-look run-and-gun brand of basketball, befitting one of the youngest rosters in the NBA. And hopefully, their suffocating defense travels with them to Detroit as they take on a hobbled Eastern Conference bottom-dweller. | |||||||
10-03-21 | Ravens v. Broncos -1 | Top | 23-7 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 45 m | Show |
The Ravens offense has led the way this season but the defense has struggled, allowing 28.3 runs per game and 331.7 passing yards per game. Linebacker Patrick Queen has been the force in the middle of the defense with 23 tackles and a sack while Chuck Clark, Marlon Humphrey, and Anthony Avrett have been leading the secondary combining for eight passes defended and 49 tackles but the rest of the defense has struggled. The front of the Ravens defense is failing to pressure opposing quarterbacks aside from Odafe Oweh who has a sack and four QB hits while the secondary is still trying to replace all-pro corner Marcus Peters, who is out for the season with an injury. | |||||||
10-03-21 | Cardinals +4 v. Rams | Top | 37-20 | Win | 100 | 2 h 35 m | Show |
This has the feel of a competitive game where the Rams win, but Arizona covers. The Cardinals have lost by double digits in seven of the last eight meetings. This game could illustrate how far they’ve come, but how they aren’t quite there yet. That seems to be what the respected bettors believe based on the line movement. | |||||||
10-03-21 | Seahawks v. 49ers -2.5 | 28-21 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 29 m | Show | |
On defense, the Seahawks have gone from The Legion of Boom to a backfield that gives receivers plenty of room. They have arguably the worst defense in the NFL, surrendering a league-high 440 yards per game. Most of the damage comes in the passing game, where they routinely allow nearly 300 yards per game. | |||||||
10-02-21 | Arizona State +3 v. UCLA | 42-23 | Win | 100 | 15 h 38 m | Show | |
The talent is there to come up with a big offensive performance against a UCLA D that’s good, but will give up yards. The Sun Devils overcame the loss at BYU with a solid 35-13 at Colorado, with Jayden Daniels and the passing game taking over and the D dominating the struggling Buff attack. ASU is moving the chains, the secondary has been strong, and the lines are good enough to hold up against the suddenly physical Bruins. Able to move the chains well and control the clock – helped by that D that gets off the field – the Sun Devils should dictate the tempo against a team that loves to make teams play its way. | |||||||
10-02-21 | Baylor +4.5 v. Oklahoma State | Top | 14-24 | Loss | -114 | 11 h 8 m | Show |
There’s the Baylor win we were all waiting for in the Dave Aranda era. 2020 was supposed to be a total rebuild, and beating Texas State, Texas Southern, and Kansas was no big deal to start 2021. Baylor 31, Iowa State 29, and now the program is 4-0 with a chance to make an even bigger splash. The offense might not have rolled against the Cyclones, but the D held firm and the O made the most of every opportunity. Forget the overall stats – again, look at Baylor’s first three games – but the passing game really is efficient enough to at least keep the chains moving. | |||||||
10-02-21 | Ole Miss v. Alabama -14.5 | 21-42 | Win | 100 | 8 h 44 m | Show | |
Ole Miss has a great team with an outstanding offense and a big-time playmaker of a quarterback. It also has a head coach who should and would be the new head man at USC, but won’t be because … well, because. Yeah, the team has looked and played great, and yeah, there hasn’t been a problem so far, but the team has also taken target practice against a few middleweights and an FCSer. Ole Miss has been able to get the O going partly because the running game has been unstoppable – that’s not going to work this week. Bama still has to prove that the glitch from the Florida game has been fixed, but just assume that the defensive side isn’t going to meltdown in the second half like it did in Gainesville. | |||||||
10-02-21 | Texas Tech +7 v. West Virginia | Top | 23-20 | Win | 100 | 8 h 31 m | Show |
The passing game still works. The Red Raider offense lost QB Tyler Shough to a collarbone injury in the loss to Texas, but Henry Colombi is a veteran who can run a big and threw for 324 yards and three scores with big play after big play. Yeah, it was a 70-35 loss and the Longhorns started to take it easy, but Texas Tech still managed over 500 yards for the second straight week. Last week’s game was rough, but the Red Raiders have a veteran defense that’s far better than it plays, allowing fewer than 300 yards in two of the three games before the debacle in Austin. West Virginia doesn’t have the passing game to keep up in a game like this if Colombi and company get hot early. | |||||||
10-02-21 | Bowling Green v. Kent State -16 | Top | 20-27 | Loss | -118 | 7 h 23 m | Show |
The Kent State team continues to play with confidence. After the corner turned late last year, all of a sudden, it was as if the light went on. The offense started to click, the FlashFast style made sense, and it all started to roll. Against Eastern Michigan – a 27-23 win – the offense was almost perfectly balanced with 219 passing yards and 212 on the ground, and now it gets to go against a Bowling Green defense that got destroyed by Toledo for over 300 rushing yards and 200 through the air. | |||||||
10-02-21 | Eastern Michigan v. Northern Illinois | Top | 20-27 | Win | 100 | 7 h 49 m | Show |
Why are the Huskies 2-2? They’re getting great play from the offensive front. They’re not allowing sacks, they’re pounding away for a ground game that hit the 160-yard mark in every game and averages 216 yards per outing. The Eastern Michigan defensive front couldn’t hold up against Wisconsin, but it gave up over 200 yards against UMass, too. The Huskies should be able to run enough to throw the Eagles off of their game. | |||||||
10-02-21 | Cincinnati -1.5 v. Notre Dame | 24-13 | Win | 100 | 7 h 41 m | Show | |
Desmond Ridder (probably) won’t throw four interceptions. Wisconsin has a better defense than Cincinnati does, but it didn’t have the NFL-caliber quarterback with the mobility and downfield passing arm that Ridder brings to his date with the Irish. Notre Dame still has the same problems it had before and during the blowout win over the Badgers, and the Bearcats can exploit them. Did the Irish O-line get better over the last week? Probably not. It’s talented, but it needs more time and seasoning – it’s not great in pass protection. Is the running game going to be stronger and more consistent? Probably not. | |||||||
10-01-21 | BYU v. Utah State +9.5 | Top | 34-20 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 42 m | Show |
Utah State might have screwed up a bit too much – and it only scored three points – but the offensive punch was there. The Aggies remained almost perfectly balanced – they’re a 200-yard rushing/200-yard passing machine – with the 443 yards put up against the Broncos just fine. They just couldn’t translate the effort into points. | |||||||
10-01-21 | Iowa v. Maryland +3.5 | 51-14 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 45 m | Show | |
The Terrapins couldn't have asked for a better start to their season, going 4-0 and winning games handily in the process. The offense has picked up where they left off, scoring 37.2 points per game and led by quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa who has a 75.5 completion percentage with 1340 passing yards and 10 touchdowns. Tagovailoa often looks to Dontay Demus in the passing game as the top receiver has 446 receiving yards and three touchdowns while also spreading the ball across the field with Rakim Jarrett and Jeshaun Jones combining for 466 receiving yards. In addition, the run game has been strong this season as Tayon Fleet-Davis has 311 rushing yards and four touchdowns on the ground. | |||||||
10-01-21 | Houston v. Tulsa -3 | Top | 45-10 | Loss | -120 | 5 h 22 m | Show |
The Golden Hurricane got stuffed by Ohio State, but the 308 yards against Arkansas State helped control the game in a 41-34 win. Yes, the Houston pass defense has been statically great, but it’s about to deal with Davis Brin, who’s averaging over 300 yards per game with five scoring passes in the last two games. Houston might have a steady O over the last few games against inferior competition, but will the downfield passing game be there? The O line is having problems keeping defenses out of the backfield and the attack has yet to prove it can blow up. | |||||||
09-30-21 | Virginia +6 v. Miami-FL | Top | 30-28 | Win | 100 | 15 h 47 m | Show |
The Hurricanes (2-2) open their ACC schedule Thursday night against Virginia (2-2), and will be facing the national leader in passing yards per game so far this season. The Cavaliers’ Brennan Armstrong is averaging 426 yards per game, and though it’s early, only seven quarterbacks in FBS history have ever finished a season averaging more. Miami’s starter remains a murky proposition. D’Eriq King’s shoulder injury is improving, but the Hurricanes still are expected to start either Tyler Van Dyke or Jake Garcia | |||||||
09-27-21 | Nationals +1.5 v. Rockies | Top | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 35 m | Show |
German Marquez allowed five runs on six hits and four walks with four strikeouts over four innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Wednesday. Marquez ran into trouble the second time through the order on Wednesday in Colorado. | |||||||
09-26-21 | Packers v. 49ers -3 | Top | 30-28 | Loss | -112 | 7 h 51 m | Show |
Jimmy Garoppolo in his first two games has exhibited the highs that show why the 49ers held onto him to try and compete for a Super Bowl this season. He’s also had the lows that explain why they traded up to No. 3 overall in the draft to select Trey Lance. One key for Garoppolo and the 49ers’ 2-0 start is the zero turnovers from under center. Giveaways were a significant problem for Garoppolo in each of the last three years, but he’s remedied the problem early in 2021. If he’s not giving the ball away, he’s plenty efficient to operate Kyle Shanahan’s offense successfully, even if it is a version of the offense that isn’t necessarily threatening defenses vertically. | |||||||
09-26-21 | Yankees +1.5 v. Red Sox | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 34 m | Show | |
Jordan Montgomery gets the start for the Yankees on Sunday. The right-hander is 6-6 on the season with a 3.55 ERA in 28 starts. In his last outing, Montgomery got a 7-1 win over the Rangers. Montgomery gave up only 1 run on 4 hits in 5.2 innings with 6 strikeouts and 1 walk. The Yankees rank 4th in the majors in team ERA and 5th in team WHIP. Offensively, the Bronx Bombers are 18th in the league in runs scored, 6th in home runs, and 20th in team batting average. | |||||||
09-26-21 | Bucs v. Rams +1 | Top | 24-34 | Win | 100 | 3 h 16 m | Show |
The Rams made a huge improvement at quarterback this offseason, swapping out Jared Goff for Stafford in a trade with the Detroit Lions. They also have two of the NFL’s best after-the-catch receivers in Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods, which doesn’t bode well for a defense that hasn’t tackled well through the first two games of the year. Throw in the injuries that have plagued the Tampa Bay defensive backfield so far this season, and the defending champs have a huge challenge on their hands in this department. | |||||||

09-26-21 | Mets +1.5 v. Brewers | Top | 4-8 | Loss | -135 | 1 h 33 m | Show |
Carlos Carrasco pitched well in a losing effort against the Phillies on Saturday, allowing just two runs on five hits over his six frames. The right-hander racked up five strikeouts on the evening while issuing a pair of free passes | |||||||
09-25-21 | New Mexico v. UTEP +2.5 | Top | 13-20 | Win | 100 | 15 h 57 m | Show |
The Miners have a little bit of an offense now. There’s balance, there’s a passing game, and this isn’t the team of the last several years that struggled just to get the chains moving. It has a mega-problem with mistakes – it’s last in the nation in turnovers, penalties and penalty yards – and it doesn’t convert on third downs. But it’s been able overcome that by running the ball well against the mediocre teams and controlling the clock. | |||||||
09-25-21 | Dodgers v. Diamondbacks +1.5 | Top | 2-7 | Win | 125 | 14 h 57 m | Show |
I will almost always take the +1.5 along with the plus money. | |||||||
09-25-21 | West Virginia v. Oklahoma -17 | Top | 13-16 | Loss | -108 | 14 h 44 m | Show |
One stat that may come as a surprise is the stark difference in turnovers between Oklahoma and West Virginia. Entering this weekend, the Sooners have an impressive turnover margin of (+5), which is tied for 7th nationally. On the other side, the Mountaineers have a TO margin of (-6), which is near the very bottom of the FBS at 127th. If OU continues to take care of the ball while also creating extra possessions for itself, and if WVU continues to plague itself with mistakes of this variety, it’s going to be an extremely long night for the ‘Eers. | |||||||
09-25-21 | Southern Miss +45.5 v. Alabama | 14-63 | Loss | -114 | 14 h 30 m | Show | |
The Golden Eagles are playing a little defense. The pass rush has been strong over the first three games along with plenty of plays in the backfield. No, USM hasn’t played anyone amazing, but it has yet to allow more than 60 rushing yards and hasn’t given up more than 304 yards of total offense. There isn’t enough firepower to matter offensively, but the team knows how to play with a decent tempo and should at least be able to shorten the game a bit. | |||||||
09-25-21 | Pirates +1.5 v. Phillies | Top | 0-3 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 57 m | Show |
Wil Crowe limited Miami to one run in five innings to get a win as the Pirates edged the Marlins 2-1 on Friday in his last appearance. Crowe struck out five and walked one for his first win in eight starts. He improved to 4-7 and carries a 5.77 ERA, 1.58 WHIP, with a 100/51 K/BB ratio over 106 innings of work. It’s been a rough go for the youngster, but he has shown some flashes, enough to have the Pirates keep him around this year and most likely for next. | |||||||
09-25-21 | Illinois +11 v. Purdue | Top | 9-13 | Win | 100 | 10 h 56 m | Show |
The Illini enter Saturday’s 2:30 p.m. kickoff at Purdue (2-1) as double-digit underdogs, but Purdue was projected by most to finish near the bottom of the West Division, so the road game at Ross-Ade Stadium may be one of the most winnable games remaining this season. Especially with an Illinois offense finally getting healthy and a Purdue team that might not have one of its stars (David Bell) available on Saturday. Bielema says he still sees progress in recent weeks. The best way to show progress is to win, and the Illini are hungry for one Saturday. | |||||||
09-25-21 | Texas A&M -4.5 v. Arkansas | 10-20 | Loss | -117 | 10 h 38 m | Show | |
The Aggies' defense is shaping up to be one of its best in recent memory with a defensive line that's both deep and talented. The combination of four-star or better recruits and a number of "super seniors" gives A&M size and speed up front that is lacking among most programs in the era of the NCAA transfer portal. They're not just big but athletic and they're capable of taking over a game and winning it by themselves...a rarity in today's game where offenses have the upper hand due quarterback development and rules changes. | |||||||
09-24-21 | Mariners v. Angels +1.5 | Top | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 7 m | Show |
On paper, there's very little reason to be on the Angels side here, but I suspect the Mariners will start to realize what Los Angeles has for a long time, that their playoff hopes are realistically over. I'm going to take the runs and LA here because the Angels staff seem to be getting stringer as they prep for next season and we may catch Seattle checked out. | |||||||
09-24-21 | Mets +1.5 v. Brewers | 1-5 | Loss | -167 | 6 h 42 m | Show | |
The Milwaukee Brewers ran into the buzz saw that is the St. Louis Cardinals this week and dropped four straight to the hottest team in baseball. On Thursday, the Cards completed the sweep, beating the Brewers 8-5. Starter Adrian Houser pitched well, allowing 1 run across 6 innings but the bullpen got lit up. | |||||||
09-24-21 | Liberty v. Syracuse +6.5 | Top | 21-24 | Win | 104 | 6 h 8 m | Show |
Here comes the Syracuse pass rush. Granted, playing Ohio and Albany is no big deal, but the Orange generated four sacks and a whole lot of pressure in a 17-7 loss to Rutgers. Willis is mobile enough and quick enough with his reads to avoid getting hit too many times, but the Liberty line allows a ton of plays in the backfield and close to three sacks per game. Again, that’s partly because Willis is moving, but the Orange still have to get to him. Also, again, the Syracuse offensive line hasn’t been great, but the running game has been decent so far against the mediocre teams. The O has to establish the ground game right away | |||||||
09-24-21 | White Sox v. Indians +1.5 | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 5 h 56 m | Show | |
Shane Bieber has been lights out according to his Baseball Savant page this season as he is in the 98th percentile in whiff percentage, 95th percentile in strikeout percentage, 86th percentile in chase rate, and 71st percentile in xBA. His 8.8 barrel percentage is the highest against him in a season. Bieber has a five-pitch arsenal (fastball, curveball, soldier, changeup, cutter) and his heater has a .274 batting average with a .496 slugging percentage. This will be his fourth start against the White Sox as he is 3-0 in 22 innings and allowed six runs (five earned) on 15 hits with four walks and 29 strikeouts. | |||||||
09-24-21 | Royals +1.5 v. Tigers | Top | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 5 h 53 m | Show |
Casey Mize has been struggling this season according to his Baseball Savant page as he is in the 14th percentile in barrel percentage, 15th percentile in xSLG, 18th percentile in xERA, and 24th percentile in xBA. He has a career 10.8 barrel percentage. Mize also throws five pitches (slider, fastball, sinker, splitter, curveball) and his slider has been his best pitch as it has an .186 batting average with a .335 slugging percentage. | |||||||
09-24-21 | Brown v. Harvard -15.5 | 17-49 | Win | 100 | 5 h 3 m | Show | |
Harvard is coming off a dominant 44-9 victory over Georgetown in Washington, D.C., last Saturday. The Crimson’s running backs, Aidan Borguet, Aaron Shampklin, and Sone Ntoh, ran roughshod over the Hoyas, totaling 335 yards on the ground while the defensive line limited the Hoyas to just six total rushing yards on the day. Shampklin in particular stepped up with a career-high 183 yards on 14 carries and two touchdowns. Sophomore quarterback Charlie Dean was rarely forced to throw, but on 19 attempts was effective, completing 10 of his passes for 94 yards and two touchdowns. | |||||||
09-23-21 | Liberty v. Mercury -10 | 82-83 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
After a slow start to the season, the Mercury caught fire coming out of the Olympic break and ripped off a 10-game winning streak that helped them earn the No. 5 seed. As for the Liberty, they are back in the playoffs for the first time since 2017, though it's in an ignominious fashion. At 12-20, their 0.375 winning percentage is the worst of any playoff team in WNBA history. | |||||||
09-23-21 | Panthers v. Texans +8 | Top | 24-9 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 39 m | Show |
Houston's defensive tackles have quietly been having an impressive season. Former Dallas Cowboy Maliek Collins is back to near his best, and currently ranks eighth in the NFL among defensive tackles for the highest pass-rush win rate, per ESPN. Sixth-round rookie Roy Lopez has had far more of an impact than most had expected, currently first among NFL defensive tackles in run-stop win rate. | |||||||
09-23-21 | Wings v. Sky -5 | Top | 64-81 | Win | 100 | 5 h 29 m | Show |
The Sky have the talent and experience to be favored in this game. This team has three All-Stars in the staring lineup and two former All-Stars on the bench. The Sky can be a phenomenal team. If they play up to their potential they can blow out anyone in the WNBA and do so convincingly. And, even with all the disappointments of 2021, they’re still in the driver’s seat, playing at home, with a fully healthy team ready to go. | |||||||
09-23-21 | Pirates +1.5 v. Phillies | 6-12 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 16 m | Show | |
Philadelphia’s pitching isn’t as good as the team’s offense. Opponents have a .246 batting average against the Phillies, which is 16th in the league. Their 4.42 ERA is 20th, while their 1.29 WHIP is 16th. Take the Pirates who have been playing some good baseball of late. | |||||||
09-23-21 | Rangers v. Orioles +1.5 | Top | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 4 h 12 m | Show |
The Rangers' pitching staff has been poor this season. As a team, they are bottom 10 in the league in ERA, hits allowed, runs allowed, home runs allowed, strikeouts, and batting average against. With Glenn Otto starting, this will be a bullpen game for the Rangers. Their relievers rank less than average in ERA, runs allowed, and WHIP. Texas’ relievers rank bottom 10 in hits allowed, strikeouts, and batting average against. Texas has been poor on offense this season. They are bottom five in the league in runs, hits, home runs, RBI’s, batting average, OBP, SLG, and OPS. It comes as no surprise the Rangers will not make the playoffs and have the second-worst record in the AL. They are bottom 10 in most pitching categories and bottom five in most offensive categories. | |||||||
09-23-21 | Nationals +1.5 v. Reds | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 4 h 53 m | Show |
I think we're going to catch the Reds sleeping here. Cincinnati knows their postseason chances are slim after taking on the chin against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Washington has won 10 of their last 11 games in Cincinnati. | |||||||
09-22-21 | Braves v. Diamondbacks +1.5 | Top | 9-2 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 34 m | Show |
The Braves hope Ian Anderson can turn a corner on the season as he is pivotal to the team's playoff success but has struggled this season, allowing 48 runs in 22 starts. Moreover, Anderson is allowing hard contact off the bat with a .241 expected opponent Batting Average, a .417 expected opponent Slugging Percentage, and a 4.53 expected ERA. | |||||||
09-22-21 | Dodgers v. Rockies +1.5 | Top | 5-10 | Win | 118 | 10 h 30 m | Show |
The Colorado Rockies will be going with German Marquez as the starter for this game. Marquez is in the middle of a solid 2021 campaign as he possesses a 12-10 record along with a 4.16 ERA. In addition, he has a 3.16 ERA at home as he has looked significantly better at Coors Field up to this point. | |||||||
09-22-21 | Hamilton v. Ottawa +9 | Top | 24-7 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 14 m | Show |
One of those 3 teams vying for the division lead is the Hamilton Tiger-Cats as they are tied atop the standings with a 3-3 record. Despite having third string quarterback David Watford starting against the Stamps, he completed 19 of 22 pass attempts for 149 yards and also ran 35 yards in the Cats victory last Friday. I think we'll see a look ahead spot here. | |||||||
09-22-21 | Rangers +1.5 v. Yankees | 3-7 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 41 m | Show | |
The Yanks have been reeling at a bad time, allowing the Blue Jays to creep into the AL Wild-Card. The Yankees are too inconsistent for me to not take the runs and the plus money. | |||||||
09-21-21 | Mets v. Red Sox -1.5 | Top | 3-6 | Win | 130 | 14 h 44 m | Show |
While the Mets have struggled at the plate lately, and for the whole season for that matter, the same cannot be said for the Red Sox, who have averaged 8.2 runs in their five-game win streak. In their last game, they were at home and completed the sweep over the Baltimore Orioles with an 8-6 win. | |||||||
09-21-21 | Rangers +1.5 v. Yankees | 1-7 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 34 m | Show | |
Of the two starters, Jordan Montgomery is certainly the better of the two but I still worry if the Yankees are out of their recent slump. Montgomery is just 5-6 on the year, which means the Yanks don't score a ton of runs for him. I'll take the runs and the plus money here. | |||||||
09-21-21 | Pirates +1.5 v. Reds | Top | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 13 h 6 m | Show |
The Reds are in a battle for the final wild-card spot in the National League. Coming into this series, they stand three games behind the Cardinals for the second spot. They have lost six of their last eight games at the most inopportune time of the year. | |||||||
09-21-21 | Royals +1.5 v. Indians | 1-4 | Loss | -145 | 13 h 32 m | Show | |

09-20-21 | Lions +11.5 v. Packers | Top | 17-35 | Loss | -102 | 8 h 54 m | Show |
Green Bay's string of six straight season-opening victories ended with a thud when the Packers fell 38-3 to the New Orleans Saints at Jacksonville, Florida. The Packers now will try to win their home opener for a ninth consecutive season. Aaron Rodgers threw two interceptions without a touchdown pass in the season opener. Green Bay's 35-point defeat marked its most lopsided loss in any game Rodgers has started. After trailing by as many as 28 points, the Lions made a frantic comeback before falling 41-33 to the San Francisco 49ers in a game that marked the Detroit debuts for head coach Dan Campbell and quarterback Jared Goff. I'll take the 12 in this one. | |||||||
09-20-21 | Nationals -1.5 v. Marlins | Top | 7-8 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 22 m | Show |
When the Nationals look back on their 2021 campaign they'll realize that their offense really isn't indicative of a last place team. Washington is 4th in the majors in team BA (.259) and 5th in OPS (.754) – but of course that didn't lead to a lot of wins this season (61-88). The Nats' are still a dangerous team to bet against with Josh Bell (.545 OBP) and Juan Soto (.500) reaching base a ton over the past week | |||||||
09-19-21 | Vikings +4 v. Cardinals | Top | 33-34 | Win | 100 | 7 h 42 m | Show |
This is a classic week two match-up, one team looked real good, Arizona, against a team that didn't in Minnesota. I've said it 100 times, especially in week two, don't take what you just saw and apply it to this week. Expect the opposite as Minnesota comes away with the outright win. | |||||||

The Eagles’ offense is going to be able to take advantage of a 49ers defense that’s banged up. DeVonta Smith is going to feast on a gettable secondary. | |||||||
09-18-21 | Oklahoma State +3.5 v. Boise State | Top | 21-20 | Win | 100 | 12 h 12 m | Show |
It’s been a rough two games so far with tight battles against Southwest Missouri State and Tulsa, but it’s been a bit of a rebuilding job with the coaching staff, and QB Spencer Sanders was out early on. That’s why you have the soft openings – the hope is to be ready for a game like this. The defense has been able to make up for the offensive problems with a good pass rush and enough stops to keep the team in games. It’s been a high-wire act, but the O proved it could explode – coming up with a 21-point fourth quarter comeback to get by Tulsa 28-23 – and now the attack gets a Boise State defense that’s struggling to get off the field – at least it did against UCF | |||||||
09-18-21 | Jackson State v. UL-Monroe -4 | Top | 7-12 | Win | 100 | 4 h 49 m | Show |
There's very little about this game that says play the Warhawks but this number is way to peculiar for me not to jump on it. | |||||||
09-18-21 | Central Michigan +19.5 v. LSU | 21-49 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 3 m | Show | |
LSU bounced back with a less-than-spectacular 34-7 home victory against FCS opponent McNeese State and conclude their pre-SEC schedule when they host Central Michigan on Saturday night. It’s a final opportunity to work out the rough spots before a relentless SEC slate hits full force. The Tiger running back position remains in a state of flux. John Emery Jr., the No. 2 rusher a year ago, is academically ineligible and likely to miss the whole season. Leading rusher Tyrion Davis-Price has struggled behind the inconsistent line and freshman Armoni Goodwin is expected to miss this game. | |||||||
09-18-21 | UAB -12 v. North Texas | 40-6 | Win | 100 | 11 h 56 m | Show | |
Don’t take anything away from the 56-7 loss to Georgia. UAB is really, really good. It’s not national championship good. This is still one of the most experienced Group of Five teams with the talent to take another Conference USA title. Now it gets to play someone more its own size, and it should be able to move the ball at will on a North Texas defense that’s been awful against the run and gives up 477 yards per game overall. The Mean Green have firepower, and the D is a wee bit improved after last year’s disaster, but it’s all still going to be a work in progress. UAB will be able to rumble at will on the ground. | |||||||
09-18-21 | Virginia v. North Carolina -7.5 | 39-59 | Win | 100 | 3 h 10 m | Show | |
There must be something special about squaring off against the Cavaliers for Tar Heel quarterback Sam Howell. He totaled 796 passing yards and eight passing touchdowns in his first two games against Bronco Mendenhall’s club. The Tar Heel defense will be looking to enact a measure of revenge against a team that gashed them for 44 points and 418 yards of total offense last season. | |||||||
09-18-21 | Padres +1.5 v. Cardinals | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 14 m | Show |
Yu Darvish has been pitching extremely well according to his Baseball Savant page as he is in the 83rd percentile in xBA, 83rd percentile in walk percentage, 81st percentile in xERA, and 81st percentile in hard hit percentage. His 8.7 barrel percentage is the highest of his career. Darvish throws seven different pitches (cutter, slider, fastball, curveball, sinker, splitter, changeup) and his cutter has been getting hit the most as it has a .341 batting average and 10 homers off of it. He faced the Cardinals twice last season as a member of the Chicago Cubs as he went 2-0 in 13 innings and allowed two runs on nine hits with one walk and 18 strikeouts. | |||||||
09-18-21 | Cubs v. Brewers -1.5 | 4-6 | Win | 100 | 3 h 36 m | Show | |
After trading away several of its marquee players, the Chicago Cubs have been carried by little-known players at the MLB level. Chicago is 28th in team batting average at .233, 18th in slugging percentage at .405 and has scored 635 runs which is 20th. | |||||||
09-18-21 | Fordham +31.5 v. Florida Atlantic | Top | 14-45 | Win | 100 | 2 h 32 m | Show |
There’s an effective enough of an offense to take advantage of every opportunity. The Rams don’t miss when they get inside the red zone, they’re solid at coming up with third down conversions, and the line has been solid so far for the ground game and at keeping teams out of the backfield. There hasn’t been a whole lot of luck overall, but Tim DeMorat is coming off a big 352-yard, three touchdown passing day in the loss to Monmouth, and this week the passing attack should keep pressing an FAU defense that’s not stopping anyone on third downs and doesn’t have any sort of a pass rush. | |||||||
09-18-21 | Ball State +7 v. Wyoming | 12-45 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
Against Penn State, Ball State's offense showed it can drive the ball against a talented defense. Out of the Cardinals' four red-zone trips they scored one touchdown and settled for two field goals. They'll be able to finish those drives against the Cowboys. | |||||||
09-18-21 | USC v. Washington State +7.5 | Top | 45-14 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 7 m | Show |
So what’s really the problem at USC? It was able to get by San Jose State with relative ease and chalk up the Stanford game to a bad day. However, there hasn’t been anything from the defensive line so far – it’s not getting behind the line – and there are WAY too many penalties and mistakes so far. Wazzu has a similar problem to USC’s – the talent in place isn’t producing yet. Turnovers aren’t an issue, and the parts are there to start doing a whole lot more to keep the chains moving, and again, USC probably won’t bring the pressure. | |||||||
09-18-21 | Alabama v. Florida +15 | 31-29 | Win | 100 | 7 h 38 m | Show | |
Alabama will need to be stout against the run this Saturday as Florida has been one of the top rushing attacks in the country to start the season. Through the first two games, as a team, the Gators have run for 763 yards while averaging 8.5 yards per rush. | |||||||
09-18-21 | Boston College v. Temple +15 | 28-3 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 18 m | Show | |
Boston College was incredibly sloppy last weekend against UMass and it allowed a far inferior Minutemen team to stick around a lot longer than they should. Temple is better than UMass and will easily cover this number. | |||||||
09-17-21 | Diamondbacks +1.5 v. Astros | 3-4 | Win | 107 | 7 h 43 m | Show | |
This version of Madison Bumgarner has been less than electric. It's fair to say that this could be one of the final starts of his career. I think we'll catch the Astros napping in this one against what should be a motived Bumgarner. | |||||||
09-17-21 | Central Florida v. Louisville +7 | Top | 35-42 | Win | 100 | 15 h 46 m | Show |
The season did not start well for Louisville, but over its last six quarters, it has put up 54 points. The Cardinals had to replace a ton of talent at the skill positions this year, but quarterback Malik Cunningham is an experienced signal-caller and a very good athlete. Cunningham has a history of being turnover-prone but has just one interception this season in 60 pass attempts. He has six total touchdowns with four coming on the ground. Hassan Hall and Jalen Mitchell will help power the ground game. | |||||||
09-17-21 | Phillies v. Mets +1.5 | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 14 h 28 m | Show |
The Phillies pitching staff has been average this season. As a team, they are in the middle of the league in ERA, hits allowed, runs allowed, home runs allowed, walks allowed, WHIP, and batting average against. When betting, you have to take the bullpen into account, not just the starter. | |||||||
09-17-21 | Rockies v. Nationals +1.5 | Top | 9-8 | Win | 100 | 6 h 34 m | Show |
I'm not sure why, but I've never been a huge Marquez backer and we're not going to be today either. This game and pitching match-up looks too easy. I'm taking the insurance but we're going with Washington. | |||||||
