11-24-18 | Georgia Tech v. Georgia -17 | Top | 21-45 | Win | 100 | 136 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Georgia (10* TRADE-MARK) The Yellow Jackets are off a tough 30-27 OT win over Virginia at home and I think they’ll suffer a letdown here. Georgia rolled to an easy 66-27 home win over UMass and I predict a similarly destruction here as well. Note that Georgia smashed GT 38-7 in this game last year. GT averages 36.9 PPG and it allows 27.5. At 10-1, the Bulldogs are back in the SEC title game, but they have one more opportunity for a “tune up” and I expect them to make the most of it. Georgia enters averaging 39.5 PPG and allowing only 16.8. Note as well that GT is just 1-4 ATS in its last five as an underdog in the 10.5 to 21 points range. T.M. Prediction: 45-15 Bulldogs. | |||||||
11-23-18 | Washington +3.5 v. Washington State | 28-15 | Win | 100 | 121 h 46 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington (8* BLOWOUT) I think many will be riding red hot Washington State in this one. But I think the pressure is on the home side here and I look for veteran Huskies’ QB Jake Browning to pull off the minor upset. But Browning beating WSU is no upset, as he’s already done it three times over his career, outscoring the Cougars 131-41 in the process. Washington State is rolling behind the Nation’s No. 1 offense, but the Huskies aren’t that far behind. Washington also has the upper hand defensively. Additionally note that the Huskies are 7-2 ATS in their last nine road conference games as an underdog in the +2.5 to +5.5 points range. T.M. Prediction: 27-21 Huskies. | |||||||
11-23-18 | Heat v. Bulls +2.5 | Top | 103-96 | Loss | -105 | 27 h 53 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Bulls (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). Neither team can be very happy where it sits at the moment. Miami though is ripe for the picking in my opinion as it comes in having lost six of seven. Miami is averaging 108.3 PPG and it’s allowing 110.2. All Star guard Goran Dragic is injured. Chicago has lost five of seven. The Bulls average 104.2 PPG and they allow 113.6. Zach LaVine averages 25.5 PPG. Note though that the Heat are just 1-5 ATS in their last six vs. the East, while Chicago is already 6-4 ATS at home and 6-2 ATS after allowing 115 points or more. T.M. Prediction: 108-107 Bulls. | |||||||
11-23-18 | Northern Iowa +6.5 v. Old Dominion | Top | 65-72 | Loss | -105 | 26 h 47 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Northern Iowa (10* MONEY-MAKER). These teams just played and it was Northern Iowa which won 54-53 on a neutral court last weekend. Overall Northern Iowa has been extremely solid defensively, allowing just 68.2 PPG. In the win over the Monarchs, they’d hold ODU to just 32.8 percent shooting. ODU only has two starters back from last years team which went 25-7. Note that ODU is just 4-9 ATS in its last 13 following an ATS loss, while Northern Iowa is 4-1 ATS in its last five following a SU win. T.M. Prediction: 65-60 Northern Iowa. | |||||||
11-23-18 | Central Florida v. South Florida +14.5 | Top | 38-10 | Loss | -110 | 117 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: South Florida (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) Outright upset? I’m not saying that. But the desperate Bulls will be out to play spoiler today at home and while USF may come up short, I definitely expect this one to be a lot more competitive than what this spread would suggest. UCF won and covered against the Bearcats last weekend. The Bulls had a 17-0 lead at half time, but Temple scored 27 unanswered points in the second to steal the game. After four straight losses and with nothing to lose on seniors night though, I believe USF can put the pressure on the Knights today. Note that UCF is just 5-6 ATS in its last 11 vs. teams with winning records, while USF is a perfect 3-0 ATS in its last three as an underdog of 10.5 to 21 points. T.M. Prediction: 40-30 UCF. | |||||||
11-23-18 | Eastern Michigan v. Kent State +13.5 | 28-20 | Win | 100 | 112 h 17 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kent State (8* MONEY-MAKER) EMU enters off a 27-7 home win over Akron in its latest action, while Kent Stat looks to bounce back off a 56-34 loss to Toledo at home last Thursday. The Eagles secured a bowl spot with the win over Akron prior to their “bye week.” Can anyone say natural letdown spot? Note that the Eagles have scored 27 or fewer points in three straight games. The Golden Flashes have struggled on both sides of the ball this year, but they won’t going down with a fight today. Note that Kent is 4-1 ATS in its last five following an ATS loss, while EMU is just 11-24 ATS in its last 35 following a SU victory. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 EMU. | |||||||
11-23-18 | Texas v. Kansas +16 | Top | 24-17 | Win | 100 | 28 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Kansas (10* BIG 12 GAME OF THE YEAR) This is a big game for the Longhorns, because if they win this one they’ll earn a spot in the Big 12 Championship game next week to face Oklahoma. I’m not calling for an outright, but the stage is set for Kansas to keep this one competitive and try to score the outright upset as spoiler. Texas’ QB Sam Ehlinger was injured last week and he’s listed as probable for this one. Ehlinger is likely going to play, but one has to wonder about his overall health for sure? Kansas lost 55-40 last week vs. Oklahoma and I think it can carry that offensive momentum over here. Note that Texas is just 6-7 ATS in its last 13 on the road, while Kansas is 6-4 ATS this season as an underdog. T.M. Prediction: 28-21 Texas. | |||||||
11-22-18 | Falcons +13.5 v. Saints | Top | 17-31 | Loss | -133 | 81 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Falcons (10* TRADE-MARK) Outright win? I don’t think it’s as crazy as it sounds! The Falcons are clearly the more “desperate” team here, most recently coming off an upset loss in Detroit. Another loss today and ATL is essentially out of the playoff race. New Orleans on the other hand is on top of the World, most recently destroying the defending champion Eagles 48-7. It’s hard to imagine the Saints taking the foot off the gas at this point as they try to lock down the first week bye in the playoffs, but Atlanta simply won’t go down without a fight here. Note as well that the Falcons are 7-2 ATS in their last nine divisional road contests as an underdog in the +12 to +14 points range. T.M. Prediction: 30-27 New Orleans. | |||||||
11-22-18 | Redskins +8.5 v. Cowboys | 23-31 | Win | 100 | 77 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington Redskins (8* BANKROLL BUILDER) Washington comes in as the more desperate team after falling 23-21 at home to Houston last weekend. The Cowboys come in off back-to-back road wins, including a tight 22-19 road victory over Atlanta last weekend. Washington took the first meeting of the year 20-17 and I do indeed believe that another outright win isn’t out of the question here either. Note that the Skins are 3-1 ATS on the road this year. The Cowboys are just 2-2 ATS at home and note that Dallas is only 1-4 ATS in its last five after two or more SU/ATS victories. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 21-20 Dallas. | |||||||
11-22-18 | Colorado State +14.5 v. Air Force | Top | 19-27 | Win | 100 | 92 h 53 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Colorado State (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) Neither team can become bowl eligible with a victory today and with that sad fact weight heavily on the minds of the once mighty Falcons, I believe the Colorado State Rams can keep this one much more competitive than what this spread would suggest. Colorado State is averaging 23.2 PPG on offense, while allowing 450 yards on defense. The Falcons had a 14 point fourth quarter lead against Wyoming last week and they’d go on to lose 35-27, putting an end to any hopes of a bowl berth once and for all. And after that tragic setback, I expect a very predictable letdown here. Note that Colorado State is 7-2 ATS in its last nine conference road games following a four games or more losing streak. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 30-27 Falcons. | |||||||
11-22-18 | Bears v. Lions +4.5 | Top | 23-16 | Loss | -110 | 73 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Detroit Lions (10* MONEY-MAKER) Clearly the Bears have been better than advertised this year. Chicago held on for a 25-20 home win over the Vikes on Sunday, its fourth straight win. Can anyone say letdown spot? The Lions have nothing to lose here and they enter off a confidence building 20-19 home win over Carolina. That was a quality victory on both ends of the field against a desperate team and I think the Lions will carry that momentum over here and take advantage of the short week home field nationally televised contest. Note as well that Detroit is 7-2 ATS in its last nine after holding its previous opponent to under 20 points and playing on a short week. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 24-23 Detroit. | |||||||
11-21-18 | Virginia v. Middle Tennessee +19 | Top | 74-52 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: MTSU (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) Virginia is 3-0, but MTSU is 3-1. This is the Battle 4 Atlantis in the Bahamas. The Blue Raiders average 85.5 PPG. The Cavs are ranked No. 3 in the country, behind one of the best defensive units. It’s a contrast of styles and while I’m in no way calling for an outright upset, I do think that the overall conditions will make this a more competitive affair than what this line would suggest. Note that Virginia is just 6-7 ATS in its last 13 tournament games, while MTSU is 8-6 ATS in its last 14 tourney game and 8-5 ATS in its last 13 as an underdog. T.M. Prediction: 70-62 Cavs. | |||||||
11-21-18 | Nuggets +2 v. Wolves | Top | 103-101 | Win | 100 | 27 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Denver Nuggets (10* MONEY-MAKER) Denver is 10-7 and the Wolves are 7-10. Derek Rose and the Wolves have looked great of late, winning three of their last four since the Jimmy Butler trade, but I think the home side will come up short here. Denver is the “hungrier” team, as it’s lost two straight and six of its last eight. The Nuggets come in averaging 111.0 points per 100 possessions, while allowing only 105.2 per 100 possessions. Minnesota actually enters off a 100-87 loss at home to Memphis. Rose had 18 points. Minnesota is scoring just 106.3 points per 100 possessions, while allowing 111.1. Note that Denver is 17-10 ATS in its last 27 against the division, while Minnesota is just 17-18 ATS in its last 35 against divisional opponents. T.M. Prediction: 108-107 Nuggets. | |||||||
11-20-18 | Ball State +17 v. Miami-OH | Top | 21-42 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ball State (10* MONEY-MAKER) Miami Ohio has won two in a row and with one more victory it will become “eligible,” but Ball State won’t be rolling over here as it tries to play spoiler. The Cardinals actually come in with momentum as well after breaking a three-game slide with a win over WMU last Tuesday. BSU QB Drew Pitt had 258 yards and three TD’s last week. The Redhawks prevailed last week over NIU, but it wasn’t pretty with the offense posting just 201 total yards. The pressure is on the Redhawks and note that they’re just 5-11 ATS in their last 16 as a favorite. T.M. Prediction: 30-24 Miami Ohio. | |||||||
11-19-18 | Chiefs +3.5 v. Rams | Top | 51-54 | Win | 100 | 36 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Kansas City Chiefs (10* GAME OF THE WEEK) I think these teams are very evenly matched. Clearly they are across the board. This one is going to come down to whichever team has its hands on the ball last in my estimation and as such, I’m going to grab the points. KC has proven it can go toe-to-toe with the elite in the league and on the National Stage, despite a loss in New England last month. The Rams on the other hand struggled to contain the explosive Saints, and the Chiefs are perhaps an even more dynamic offense than New Orleans. Additionally note that KC is already 3-0 ATS as an underdog this year, while LA is just 4-5 ATS as a favorite. T.M. Prediction: 33-30 Chiefs. | |||||||
11-19-18 | Nuggets +5 v. Bucks | Top | 98-104 | Loss | -105 | 25 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Denver Nuggets (10* MONEY-MAKER) The Bucks started the year as the hottest team in the league, but they’ve since come back down to Earth, trading wins and losses. Denver fans can empathize, as the Nuggets were equally as dominant over the first month, but coming into this one having lost five of their last six. Overall Denver is averaging 111.8 PPG and allowing 105.3. Milwaukee is averaging 115.3 PPG and it’s allowing 104.4. Note though that the Nuggets are 7-2 ATS in their last nine non-conference road games as an underdog in the +4.5 to +7.5 points range. Grab the points and expect a competitive battle. T.M. Prediction: 115-114 Denver. | |||||||
11-19-18 | Iona v. Long Beach State +4 | Top | 85-86 | Win | 100 | 22 h 59 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LBSU (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) This game is being played in Las Vegas. LBSU will be the “hungrier” team here after getting blown out in back-to-back contests and a struggling Iona side is just what the doctor ordered to get untracked in my opinion. LBSU is averaging 67 PPG, led by Deishuan Booker with 16 PPG. Iona is averaging 78 PPG, but note that LBSU is a strong 7-2 ATS in its last nine following B2B SU losses. The 49ers have faced the stiffer competition to this point, so the early numbers are skewed. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 85-75 LBSU. | |||||||
11-18-18 | Vikings +3 v. Bears | Top | 20-25 | Loss | -116 | 167 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Vikings (10* GAME OF THE YEAR). The Vikes got back on track before their bye-week with a big win over the Lions, while Chicago enters off a win over Detroit just last week. Divisional battles are always the most important, but with a week off to prepare, I think Minnesota is the correct call here. Mitch Trubisky of the Bears is having a fine season, but he’s had difficulties with the “better” defensive clubs in the league. While the Vikes’ have struggled on the defensive side of the ball compared to last year, the unit has made big strides over the last week. I’ll point out as well that Minnesota is 7-2 ATS in its last nine as an underdog, while Chicago is 0-2 ATS in its last two off a win against a conference rival and just 1-3 ATS in its last four as a home favorite of three points or less. T.M. Prediction: 25-20 Vikes. | |||||||
11-18-18 | Lakers +2 v. Heat | Top | 113-97 | Win | 100 | 26 h 56 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Lakers (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) The Lakers enter off a loss just last night in Orlando, but I think LBJ and company bounce back in the second game of the back to back as “The King” was caught looking ahead to this match-up in South Beach. Miami is just 6-9 and the Lakers offense is firing on all cylinders, averaging 117 PPG. Miami is averaging only 110.1 points. The Heat are also just 1-4 ATS in their last five against teams with a winning SU record. I look for James to lay the hammer down against his former team. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 115-114 Lakers. | |||||||
11-18-18 | Panthers -3.5 v. Lions | 19-20 | Loss | -105 | 160 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Panthers (8* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) Carolina is coming off a humbling loss in Pittsburgh last week, but overall Cam Newton and the Panthers have solid this year. Carolina’s defense has looked poor of late, but the unit catches a big break facing the Lions, who are averaging just 22 PPG. Detroit has nothing to play for, in fact “tanking” right now will only help its draft positioning. Note that Carolina is 4-0 ATS in its last four as a road favorite in the 3.5 to seven points range. T.M. Prediction: 27-21 Panthers. | |||||||
11-18-18 | Texans v. Redskins +3 | 23-21 | Win | 100 | 160 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington Redskins (8* MONEY-MAKER) It’s an important game for both teams, who are on the fringe of the playoff picture with less than half the season remaining. These teams are in fact very evenly matched, a sentiment clearly shared by Las Vegas. So where’s the advantage? Note that Houston is just 3-5 ATS in its last eight after two or more SU wins and still only 9-12 ATS in its last 21 on the road, while Washington is already 5-1 ATS as an underdog this year and 7-2 ATS in its last nine vs. teams with winning records. T.M. Prediction: 23-21 Skins. | |||||||
11-17-18 | Arizona State v. Oregon -4 | Top | 29-31 | Loss | -108 | 148 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oregon (10* TRADE-MARK) ASU is already heading to a bowl game and with a win today it’ll be the representative for the South Division in the Pac 12 Championship game. The Ducks though are 6-4 and with a couple more victories under their belt, they’d drastically improve their chances for a better bowl game. ASU has sen decent on the year, but note that it’s just 2-8-1 ATS in the last 11 in this series, while Oregon is 4-1 ATS in the last five following a SU loss. Home field is the difference here, lay the points. T.M. Prediction: 45-20 Oregon. | |||||||
11-17-18 | Warriors v. Mavs +4.5 | Top | 109-112 | Win | 100 | 28 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks (10* MONEY-MAKER) The Warriors are ripe for the picking after losing three of their last five. They’re also fighting with each other off the court (Durant and Green). Most recently the Warriors were destroyed 107-86 by the Rockets. The Mavs are surging in the other direction though with three straight victories, most recently destroying Utah 118-68. Note that Golden State is just 2-5 ATS on the road this year, while Dallas is 5-2 ATS at home. T.M. Prediction: 108-107 Mavs. | |||||||
11-17-18 | Indiana v. Michigan -27.5 | 20-31 | Loss | -108 | 141 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Michigan (8* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) No upsets here. I think Michigan keeps the foot on the gas from start to finish. Indiana comes in off a 34-32 home win, while Michigan routed Rutgers 42-7. The Hoosiers are averaging 30 PPG and allowing 33. The Wolverines are averaging 37.2 PPG and they’re allowing only 12.9. Michigan is 4-0 ATS in its last four at home and interestingly 5-1 ATS in its last six after posting more than 450 or more yards in its previous contest, while Indiana is a poor 0-5 ATS in its last five following an ATS win. The Hoosiers are allowing 38.8 PPG over their last five and I think the unit struggles again today against the Wolverines high-powered unit. Lay the points. T.M. Prediction: 44-10 Michigan. | |||||||
11-17-18 | Liberty v. Auburn -28.5 | 0-53 | Win | 100 | 141 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Auburn (8* MONEY-MAKER) This is the first season in the FBS for the Liberty Flames and while they covered in a 45-24 loss to Virginia last Saturday, I think they’ll stumble here and lose horrible to Auburn, who looks to get back on track after a 27-10 road loss to No. 5 Georgia. Liberty is averaging 35.4 PPG and it’s allowing 39 per contest. QB Stephen Calvert has 2,677 passing yards and an 18/14 TD:INT. Auburn is averaging 26.5 PPG and it’s allowing just 18.3. QB Jarrett Stidham has 2,116 passing yards and a 10/4 TD:INT. Note that Auburn is 5-3 ATS in its last eight off a loss against a conference rival. Lay the points. T.M. Prediction: 50-12 Auburn. | |||||||
11-17-18 | Iowa -15.5 v. Illinois | 63-0 | Win | 100 | 141 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Iowa (8* BANKROLL BUILDER) Iowa came up short in a 14-10 home loss to Northwestern last week and I think it’ll take out its frustrations on the Illini, who enter off a horrible 54-35 road loss to Nebraska. Iowa destroyed Illinois 45-16 last year. Iowa enters averaging 28.5 PPG and it’s allowing 18.1. QB Nate Stanley had at least 250 passing yards six times this year with an 18/8 TD:INT. After three straight losses, I believe Stanley and company come up big today. The Illini have given up over 40 points in three of their last four games. Illinois averages 29.6 points and it’s allowing 38.6. Note that Iowa is 6-1 ATS in its last seven as a favorite and 3-1 ATS in its last four after two or more SU losses, while Illinois is a horrible 4-8 ATS in its last 12 as an underdog in the 10.5 to 21 points range. T.M. Prediction: 40-20 Iowa. | |||||||
11-16-18 | Memphis -8 v. SMU | Top | 28-18 | Win | 100 | 122 h 28 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Memphis (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) Memphis smashed SMU 66-45 at home last year and I think we’re going to see a similar beatdown here as well. The Tigers can score with the best of them, averaging 531.9 YPG, the issue has been on defense, where it’s giving up 231.6 YPG through the air. That’s a concern facing SMU and QB Ben Hicks, who has 16 TD’s and four INT’s, but the Mustangs are also terrible defensively. Note that Memphis is already 5-3 ATS as a favorite this year and a perfect 2-0 ATS this season off a win against a conference rival, while SMU is just 2-3 ATS in its last five after two or more SU wins. T.M. Prediction: 45-20 Memphis. | |||||||
11-16-18 | Towson v. Pepperdine -1.5 | Top | 65-74 | Win | 100 | 26 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pepperdine (10* BLOWOUT) After falling to No. 5 Virginia, Towson bounced back with a 93-66 home win over Division III Wesley College this past weekend. Pepperdine is just 1-2 ATS to open the year, but it’s been competitive even in the setbacks. Note that Towson is 0-4 ATS in its last four non-conference games while Pepperdine is 4-0 ATS in its last four following a SU victory. T.M. Prediction: 80-70 Pepperdine. | |||||||
11-16-18 | Raptors v. Celtics -1.5 | Top | 116-123 | Win | 100 | 25 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) Toronto enters off a deflating 106-104 home loss to Detroit on Wednesday, while Boston comes in off a confidence building 111-82 beatdown of the Bulls. Note that this is an “in-season revenge game” after the Raptors won 113-103 at home back on October 19th. The Raptors started the season 12-1, but after back-to-back losses, the “wheels are coming off the buss” now for Toronto. Boston looks to take advantage. Note that it’s 46-25 ATS the last two seasons trying to revenge a loss against an opponent. T.M. Prediction: 114-100 Boston. | |||||||
11-15-18 | Texas A&M v. Gonzaga -16 | Top | 71-94 | Win | 100 | 30 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Gonzaga (10* MONEY-MAKER) Texas A&M has one win and one loss, but with tough upcoming games against Minnesota and Washington to continue this tourney, I think the Aggies come up short here against the high-powered Bulldogs. Gonzaga opened with two easy wins and this’ll be its stiffest test yet. But with three nights off before a neutral court affair against Illinois, I like Gonzaga to pull away down the stretch, as I think its experience and depth will prove to be too much for A&M to handle. Lay the points. T.M. Prediction: (FINAL PREDICTED SCORE COMING SHORTLY) | |||||||
11-15-18 | Tulane v. Houston -10 | Top | 17-48 | Win | 100 | 97 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Houston (10* MONEY-MAKER) Tulane started the year by going 2-5, but it’s since won three in a row. Even if the Wave lose this one though, they still have one last shot at home against lowly Navy to become eligible. The Green Wave enter off a satisfying 24-18 home win over ECU. The unfortunate part was that they’d allow 450 yards to the Pirates, while also allowing ECU to convert on 21 third downs. The Wave are scoring 26.2 PPG and they’re allowing 25.8. Houston is allowing 34.4 PPG, but the offense is scoring 47.8 PPG. I have a hard time seeing Tulane keeping pace with the Cougars on the road. Note as well that Houston is already 2-0 ATS this year as a favorite in the 3.5 to ten points range. T.M. Prediction: 41-27 Houston. | |||||||
11-14-18 | Buffalo v. Ohio +1.5 | Top | 17-52 | Win | 100 | 73 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ohio (10* GAME OF WEEK) I think Buffalo stumbles here after five straight victories. Ohio though will be the “hungrier” team at home and after its three-game unbeaten streak was snapped to Miami Ohio this past weekend. Buffalo’s never been 9-1 before. Ohio will be looking to play spoiler today as Buffalo will win the MAC East Championship for a second straight year with a win today. There’s no way the Bobcats want the Bulls to celebrate that feat on their home field. Note as well that Ohios is 6-1 ATS in its last seven against teams with winning records. T.M. Prediction: 35-30 Ohio. | |||||||
11-14-18 | Cavs v. Wizards -11.5 | Top | 95-119 | Win | 100 | 26 h 28 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Washington Wizards (10* TRADE-MARK) Based entirely on the fact the the Wizards have looked a lot better of late after a terrible start and because the Cavaliers are on in action on Tuesday night. Cleveland has struggled with offensive consistency and the second game of a back to back against a focused and hungry Wizards side is not what the doctor ordered to get untracked. Note that Washington is 7-2 ATS in its last nine home games against an Eastern Conference foe as a favorite in the -10 to -15 points range. T.M. Prediction: 120-100 Washington. | |||||||
11-14-18 | Eastern Michigan +22.5 v. Duke | Top | 46-84 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Eastern Michigan (10* MONEY-MAKER) I think Duke gets caught looking past the lowly Eagles. EMU is 7-2 ATS in its last nine non-conference road games as an underdog in the +21 to +25 points range. Of course I’m not calling for an outright upset, but the conditions are right for a bit of a mental letdown from the heavyweight in this matchup. Grab the points. T.M.

11-13-18 | Georgia v. Temple -3.5 | Top | 77-81 | Win | 100 | 26 h 35 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Temple (10* MONEY-MAKER) Georgia comes in off a 110-76 home win over Savannah State, while Temple smashed Detroit 83-67. Tom Crean’s first game as head coach for Georgia looked great, but clearly the Bulldogs face much stiffer competition tonight. The Owls are in fact 2-0 and I believe they carry that momentum over here. Note that Temple won the rebound battle 38-27 vs. the Titans and also forced Detroit into 19 turnovers. Additionally note that Temple is 6-2 ATS in its last eight following a SU victory, while Georgia is just 2-6 ATS in its last eight following a win. T.M. Prediction: 80-65 Owls. | |||||||
11-13-18 | Western Michigan -7.5 v. Ball State | Top | 41-42 | Loss | -107 | 27 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Western Michigan (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) WMU will be eager to get back on track here after a horrible 59-14 home loss to Ohio, while Ball State enters off a 45-13 loss to Toledo. The Broncos have to be feeling confident here though as they hammered the Cardinals 55-3 last year. WMU lost QB Jon Wassink to injury and since then its struggled. But with a couple of games to adjust, I think the Broncos are still the much better overall team here. Note as well that Ball State is just 1-4 ATS in its last five against teams with winning records, while the road team is 9-4 ATS in its last 13 in this series. Ball State is also without its starting QB Riley Neal. T.M. Prediction: 35-20 WMU. | |||||||
11-12-18 | Spurs v. Kings +3.5 | Top | 99-104 | Win | 100 | 29 h 59 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Sacramento Kings (10* GAME OF WEEK) The Spurs enter off a satisfying 96-89 home win over Houston, while Sacramento came up short at home in a 101-86 setback to the Lakers. This is a revenge game for the Kings, as SA took all four games in the series last year. SA is averaging 109.5 PPG and it’s allowing 107.9. The Kings are averaging 115.3 PPG and they’re allowing 116.8. Sacramento can score with the best of them, its issues are on the defensive end of the floor. But SA prefers to run half-court sets and I think the Kings bounce back and take this one down to the wire with their up-tempo/improved offensive play. T.M. Prediction: 110-108 Kings. | |||||||
11-12-18 | Buffalo -1.5 v. Southern Illinois | Top | 62-53 | Win | 100 | 27 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Buffalo (10* GAME OF WEEK) Buffalo is 2-0 overall and 1-0 ATS on the road, while the Salukis are 0-1 so far. The Bulls victory includes a 99-94 OT win over WVU as an 11-point dog most recently. I think this momentum gets carried over here. Southern Illinois was smashed by Kentucky in its opener 71-59 and I have a hard time seeing the Salukis keeping pace with the faster-paced Bulls. Play on Buffalo. T.M. Prediction: (FINAL PREDICTED SCORE COMING SHORTLY) | |||||||
11-11-18 | North Texas -1 v. Hawaii | Top | 68-51 | Win | 100 | 30 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: North Texas (10* MONEY-MAKER) A great situational play here, as Hawaii is in action on Saturday night. UNT plays Portland as well on Saturday, but the Mean Green have gotten out to a quick 2-0 start already (heading into Saturday’s game) and I think the Mean Green present many match-up issues for the Warriors. In this tournament affair, look for the depth and experience that UNT brings to the table to to be the difference. T.M. Prediction: (FINAL PREDICTED SCORE COMING SHORTLY) | |||||||
11-11-18 | Celtics +2.5 v. Blazers | Top | 94-100 | Loss | -100 | 28 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) The Celtics have lost four of their last five. One night off an epic come from behind OT win in Phoenix, Boston had a predicable letdown in a 123-115 setback at Utah. Kyrie Irving returns to the line-up for Boston though and with their “floor genera” in the line-up, I think the Celtics end their road trip with a signature West Coast victory. Portland comes in off three straight wins, but with two nights off before a lengthy road trip, I think the home side comes out flat tonight. Note that Boston is 7-2 ATS in its last nine road games after allowing 122 points or more in its previous contest. T.M. Prediction: 108-107 Boston. | |||||||
11-11-18 | Falcons v. Browns +4 | 16-28 | Win | 100 | 152 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Browns (8* SITUATIONAL BLOWOUT) This one has “nail biter” written all over it. The Falcons started 1-4, but they’ve since clawed their way back to a respectable 4-4 record. Atlanta has had to lean on QB Matt Ryan with significant injury to the run game, but one has to wonder how long the veteran pivot can maintain this high level of play? This is a difficult road venue and while the Browns’ defense has admittedly been terrible, Baker Mayfield and the home side clearly won’t be going down without a fight this season. Cleveland never expected to make the playoffs this year, but it did want to win a certain amount of games and while there’s been a big improvement over last year’s winless club, clearly no one in the “Dawg Pound” is very satisfied. I’m not calling for an outright upset, but this one goes down to the wire. T.M. Prediction: 26-25 Falcons. | |||||||
11-11-18 | Jaguars +3.5 v. Colts | 26-29 | Win | 100 | 151 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Jacksonville Jaguars (8* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) It’s been a dismal stretch for Blake Bortles and the Jags, who have had to deal with injuries to the run game early, a factor which completely threw the offense out of sync from the get go. The Jags remain competitive because of their elite defense, and I think that’ll again be the case here in this crucial divisional contest. It’s do or die essentially for each team’s season this week and as such, I believe this one will in fact be decided by whichever team has its hands on the ball last. Note as well that Jacksonville is 7-2 ATS in its last nine as a divisional road dog in the 3.5 to 6.5 points range. T.M. Prediction: 24-23 Jacksonville. | |||||||
11-11-18 | Lions v. Bears -6.5 | Top | 22-34 | Win | 100 | 151 h 28 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Bears (10* TRADE-MARK) I think the Lions’ offensive line is going to struggle in this difficult non-conference road venue. The Bears have been improving on both sides of the ball almost every week it seems and I think that trend carries over here against this suspect Lions team. Detroit has major issues on both sides of the ball and I think Chicago can smell the blood in the water. Note that Detroit is just 1-3 ATS in its last four following a loss from a division rival and only 4-7 ATS in its last 11 as an underdog in the 3.5 to 9.5 points range. T.M. Prediction: 27-17 Chicago. | |||||||
11-10-18 | UC Riverside v. Portland State -8 | Top | 64-71 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Portland State (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) Both teams enter at 0-1, but UC Riverside is 1-0 ATS, while Portland State is 0-1 ATS as well. The Pilots fell 84-57 to Oregon, but it beat UC Riverside last year 94-82. The Highlanders fell 72-59 to Oregon State, but with a much more high-profile game upcoming at UNLV on Tuesday, I think UC Riverside also gets caught “looking ahead.” Play on Portland State. T.M. Prediction: (FINAL PREDICTED SCORE COMING SHORTLY) | |||||||
11-10-18 | LSU -14 v. Arkansas | 24-17 | Loss | -105 | 142 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LSU (8* SITUATIONAL BLOWOUT) Analysis posted at least 8 hours before game time. T.M. Prediction: (FINAL PREDICTED SCORE COMING SHORTLY) | |||||||
11-10-18 | Miami-FL +4.5 v. Georgia Tech | Top | 21-27 | Loss | -109 | 142 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Miami Florida (10* ACC SIDE OF THE YEAR) Miami comes in desperate after three straight losses, most recently an upset to Duke. Georgia Tech on the other hand comes in complacent after winning four of its last five. The Hurricanes fast start is a thing of the past and QB issues has been the main problem. Malik Rosier and N’Kosi Perry will both be utilized today as they try to get things turned around. Georgia Tech has gotten improved play of late, but I’ll point out that it’s still just 1-3 ATS at home this year and only 3-4 ATS as a favorite. T.M. Prediction: 30-24 Miami. | |||||||
11-10-18 | Knicks +14 v. Raptors | Top | 112-128 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 3 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Knicks (10* TRADE-MARK) The Raptors just swept their difficult West Coast road swing and they didn’t even have their best player in the line-up. Toronto is 11-1 and rolling across the board right now, but I think the home side will finally come in a tiny bit complacent here, leaving the back door open just enough for New York to sneak in through the down the stretch. With Anthony Davis and New Orleans coming to town next, this sets up as a “look-ahead” spot as well. New York comes in off a 112-107 win over the Hawks and it’ll look to build off that win with another strong effort here. No outright, but closer than expected. T.M. Prediction: 110-108 Raptors. | |||||||
11-10-18 | Liberty +24 v. Virginia | 24-45 | Win | 100 | 138 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Liberty (8* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) Virginia broke a three-game win streak with a loss to Pittsburgh and I think it’ll get caught a little flat-footed here as well. I’m of course not calling for an outright upset, I think Liberty, who is at No. 24 ranked Auburn next week, will keep this one interesting deep into the second half. The Flames are averaging 36.9 PPG and they’re allowing 38.3. The Cavs are averaging only 26.6 PPG and they’re allowing 19.2. Note though that Virginia is just 4-9 ATS in its last 13 after posting less than 100 rushing yards in its previous game, while Liberty is 15-3 ATS in its last 18 non-conference games. T.M. Prediction: 35-25 Cavaliers. | |||||||
11-10-18 | Maryland +3 v. Indiana | 32-34 | Win | 100 | 135 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Maryland (8* BANKROLL BUILDER) Maryland can punch its ticket to eligibility with a win today against 4-5 Indiana. The Terps will be hungry to get back into the winners circle after last week’s 24-3 home loss to MSU. A date against the lowly Hoosiers, who come in having lost four straight and who haven’t played since a 38-31 loss to Minnesota on October 26th, offer the perfect opponent to get untracked against. The Terps average 221.8 rushing yards per game and 125 passing yards, while on defense they are allowing 164.8 rushing and 175 passing yards. Indiana is allowing 399.6 YPG overall and 237.6 through the air. Note that the Hoosiers are just 1-8 ATS in their last nine following a SU loss, while Maryland is 4-0 ATS in its last four following an ATS loss. T.M. Prediction: 28-27 Marland. | |||||||
11-09-18 | Fresno State -2 v. Boise State | Top | 17-24 | Loss | -109 | 121 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Fresno State (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) Fresno State is 8-1 overall and it can ill afford to take the foot off the gas at this point. Not with the hopes of reaching the MWC title game. The Bulldogs have a slim one-game lead over the Aztecs in the West Division race and they survived a potential trap game last week with a resounding 48-3 destruction of UNLV on the road. Boise State sits a game back of Utah State for the Mountain Division. The Broncos have won four straight and look poised for a letdown here facing the step up in competition. Most recently the Broncos beat BYU 21-16. Note that Boise State is in fact just 5-15 ATS in its last 20 at home though and just 1-4 ATS in its last five after allowing less than 20 points in its last game, while Fresno State is 13-2-1 ATS in its last 16 on the road. T.M. Prediction: 34-20 Fresno State. | |||||||
11-09-18 | Nets +9.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 112-110 | Win | 100 | 29 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Brooklyn Nets (10* HAMMER-TIME!) I think the Nuggets are primed for another letdown here after suffering a loss last time out. Brooklyn comes in off back-to-back victories and with a game tomorrow night in Golden State, clearly the Nets will be leaving everything they have on the floor tonight in trying to earn an upset in this more “winnable” matchup. With Milwaukee and Houston coming to town next, clearly the Nuggets could easily be caught “looking ahead” here as well. Note that the Nets are 9-0 ATS in their last nine after allowing 90 points or less and 14-6 ATS in their last 20 following a win by ten points or more. T.M. Prediction: 106-104 Denver. | |||||||
11-09-18 | Southern Illinois +14.5 v. Kentucky | Top | 59-71 | Win | 100 | 27 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Southern Illinois (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) The Wildcats dropped their opener to Duke and while I think they’ll find a way to get the job done here in this favorable matchup, I do definitely feel that the door is open for the Salukis to keep this one a lot closer than what Vegas wants us to think. Kentucky now hits a very “vanilla” part of its schedule. Southern Illinois opens it season tonight, but with many veteran faces returning, I think the Salukis do indeed this one competitive down the stretch. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: (FINAL PREDICTED SCORE COMING SHORTLY) | |||||||
11-08-18 | Panthers +4 v. Steelers | Top | 21-52 | Loss | -108 | 36 h 52 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Panthers (10* MONEY-MAKER) These two teams are “firing on all cylinders” to use a big sports cliche. It would be easy to write a convincing argument for either of these teams to win straight up. All in all, the oddsmakers pretty much think this is an even match with this spread. However, I think Cam Newton’s offense will keep his team competitive late. I believe these teams are a “wash” across the board, but note that Carolina is 9-3 ATS in its last 12 following a divisional contest and 11-5 ATS in its last 16 as an underdog. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Carolina. | |||||||
11-08-18 | Wake Forest +16 v. NC State | Top | 27-23 | Win | 100 | 94 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Wake Forest (10* TRADE-MARK) I don’t see much a drop off between Wake Forest No. 1 Sam Hartman and his back-up. It’s next man up in the College Football World and Wake Forest comes in desperate for a victory to become eligible. The Wolfpack had lost two in a row before last weekend’s victory, so a return to complacency could indeed be in order here. Note as well that NC State is a poor 3-5 ATS in its last eight as a favorite in the 10.5 to 21 points range and already 0-2 ATS this season off a win against a conference rival. T.M. Prediction: 37-33 NC State. | |||||||
11-08-18 | Siena v. George Washington -6 | 69-61 | Loss | -105 | 26 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: George Washington (8* SITUATIONAL BLOWOUT) I think this is a match-up problem for the Saints. Especially on the road. Siena is a poor 0-3 ATS on its last three as a road dog in the 6.5 to 9 points range and only 7-14 ATS in its last 21 against teams with losing records. George Washington has struggled, but note that it’s 15-10 ATS in its last 25 at home and 10-7 ATS in its last 17 against teams with losing records. T.M. Prediction: 80-65 George Washington. | |||||||
11-07-18 | Toledo v. Northern Illinois -2.5 | Top | 15-38 | Win | 100 | 71 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Northern Illinois (10* GAME OF THE WEEK) Both teams are already bowl eligible, meaning that home field advantage can’t be overlooked here in my opinion. Toledo got its sixth win last week against Ball State 45-13, while the Huskies beat Akron 36-26. Toledo is averaging 41.2 PPG and allowing 30.8, while NIU is averaging 19.2 PPG and allowing 21.7. Note though that Toledo is just 6-9 ATS in its last 15 when playing against teams with winning records, while NIU is still 7-2 ATS in its last nine against the conference. T.M. Prediction: 35-20 NIU. | |||||||
11-07-18 | Pistons -1 v. Magic | Top | 103-96 | Win | 100 | 27 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Detroit Pistons (10* TRADE-MARK) The Pistons are desperate, they’ve lost six straight, but with a game tonight against the Magic and then at Atlanta on Friday, Detroit will look to close its road trip on a high note. Orlando beat the Spurs on the road, before then returning home to come from behind for a 102-100 win over the Cavs. Can anyone say letdown spot here?! Note as well that the Pistons are 7-2 ATS in their last nine on a four games or more unbeaten streak. T.M. Prediction: 110-100 Pistons | |||||||
11-07-18 | Ohio State +5.5 v. Cincinnati | Top | 64-56 | Win | 100 | 26 h 0 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ohio State (6:00 EST). Both teams lost plenty of talent in the offseason, but each also returns plenty of talent. This is a very evenly matched affair, a sentiment shared by the oddsmakers. In a contest which I envision being decided by whichever team has its hands on the ball last, I’ll point out that the Buckeyes are in fact 7-2 ATS in their last nine non-conference road games as an underdog in the 3.5 to 7.5 points range. T.M. Prediction: 70-65 Buckeyes. | |||||||
11-06-18 | San Francisco +3 v. UC-Davis | 76-42 | Win | 100 | 27 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Francisco (8*) This is a very evenly matched contest, a sentiment clearly shared by the oddsmakers. In a contest which I envision being decided by whichever of these equally matched teams has its hands on the ball last, I’m going to grab the points. Up and down, each side has talent and depth. This is going to be a competitive affair, but note that the Dons are 7-2 ATS in their last nine as a road dog in the +1 to +5 range. T.M. Prediction: 70-65 San Fran. | |||||||
11-06-18 | Nets v. Suns +1 | Top | 104-82 | Loss | -105 | 26 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Phoenix Suns (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) Both teams come in off rare victories. The Nets smashed the 76ers 122-97 at home on Sunday, while the Suns got the better of the Grizzlies 102-100 that same night. I don’t think that the home court advantage can be overlooked as a very real deciding factor in this particular matchup though. The Nets achilles heel has been their play on the road and I think that’ll again be the base tonight as well. The Suns don’t have the luxury to dwell on their most recent win after such a poor start and I like them to push the pace and find a way to get the job done in this favorable match-up. T.M. Prediction: 115-105 Suns. | |||||||
11-06-18 | UC Riverside v. Oregon State -18.5 | 59-72 | Loss | -108 | 26 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oregon State (8*) This is a match-up of David vs. Goliath, except in this story Goliath is going to pound David through the hardwood. Cal Riverside is overmatched here, on paper, on the court and in the skill and experience departments. I’m not expecting any upsets here, as I like Oregon State to push the pace from start to finish. Additionally note that Cal Riverside is just 2-5 ATS in its last seven non-conference games as an underdog in the 17.5 to 21.5 points range. T.M. Prediction: 90-50 Oregon State. | |||||||
11-06-18 | Louisiana Tech v. Wichita State -9.5 | 71-58 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Wichita State (8*) This is a difficult match-up for Louisiana Tech, as mid major Wichita State boasts better overall talent and more experience. Additionally note that Louisiana Tech is just 6-10 ATS in its last 16 as an underdog, while the Shockers are 7-2 ATS in their last nine as a home fav in the 7.5 to 12.5 points range. T.M. Prediction: 90-60 Shockers. | |||||||
11-05-18 | Titans v. Cowboys -4 | Top | 28-14 | Loss | -108 | 36 h 0 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Cowboys (10* MONEY-MAKER) Both teams come out of their respective bye weeks. I think the extra time off will benefit the home side more in this one. Note that Dallas obtained WR Amari Cooper from the Raiders last week. Dallas is in a “must win” mode as it sits two games behind the Red Skins. The Titans came up short in a 20-19 setback to the Chargers in their final game before their bye. After starting the season 3-1, the Titans come in having lost three in a row. Note that Tennessee is just 2-3 ATS in its last five as a road dog in the 3.5 to seven points range and only 8-13 ATS in its last 21 on the road overall, while Dallas is 9-6 ATS in its last 15 as a favorite in the 3.5 to 9.5 points range. T.M. Prediction: 25-15 Cowboys. | |||||||
11-05-18 | Cavs +3.5 v. Magic | Top | 100-102 | Win | 100 | 27 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Cavaliers (10* GAME OF WEEK) No need to overthink this one. The Magic go into their game against the Spurs having lost three straight on Sunday night. Cleveland can empathize as it’s 1-8 overall, most recently coming off back-to-back losses, including a 126-94 setback in Charlotte Saturday. But Orlando on the second game of a back to back offers the perfect opponent to get back on track against. Note that Cleveland is still 7-2 ATS in its last nine following a two games or more SU unbeaten streak. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 108-107 Cavs. | |||||||
11-04-18 | Magic +8 v. Spurs | Top | 117-110 | Win | 100 | 28 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Orlando Magic (10* BLOWOUT GAME OF THE YEAR) I think the Magic bounce back here on the road after three straight losses. The Spurs on the other hand look poised for a classic letdown here after their convincing 109-95 win last night at home over New Orleans. Note that the Magic are 25-18 ATS the last two years after three or more consecutive SU losses, while SA is just 2-6 ATS in its last eight non-conference games. T.M. Prediction: 205-203 Spurs. | |||||||
11-04-18 | Texans +3 v. Broncos | Top | 19-17 | Win | 100 | 142 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Houston Texans (10* TRADE-MARK) Houston comes in rested after its bye and on a win streak. The Broncos enter off a loss and I think they’re ripe for the picking here. Denver won’t have an answer for DeShaun Watson, who I expect to have a big game here against this suspect Broncos’ secondary. Additionally note that Houston is 3-1 ATS in its last four after two or more consecutive wins, while Denver is just 1-3 ATS in its last four as a home fav or three points or less. T.M. Prediction: 26-20 Houston. | |||||||
11-04-18 | Chargers v. Seahawks | 25-17 | Loss | -110 | 142 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Seahawks (8* MONEY-MAKER) These teams are very evenly matched, a sentiment clearly shared by the oddsmakers. I think the Chargers though struggle in the non-conference format and off their bye week. The Hawks have been rolling and I don’t foresee a letdown at this point. Russell Wilson is firing on all cylinders and there’s no reason not to think that he can’t carry that momentum over here as well. Additionally note that the Chargers are 4-6 ATS in their last ten non-conference games and already 0-2 ATS this season. T.M. Prediction: 30-18 Hawks. | |||||||
11-04-18 | Lions v. Vikings -4.5 | 9-24 | Win | 100 | 139 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Vikings (8* SITUATIONAL BLOWOUT) Both teams have struggled on the defensive side of the ball. That’s more surprising coming from the Vikes considering they led the league in most defensive categories last year. The Lions have gotten inconsistent play out of QB Matt Stafford though, while the Vikes have gotten very consistent play from Kirk Cousins. I think Cousins will be a difference maker in this one. Note that the Lions are just 4-6 ATS in their last ten as an underdog in the 3.5 to 9.5 points range, while Minnesota is 7-5 ATS in its last 12 as a fav in the same points range. T.M. Prediction: 31-20 Vikes. | |||||||
11-04-18 | Bucs v. Panthers -6.5 | 28-42 | Win | 100 | 139 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Panthers (8* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) Carolina comes in off a convincing victory at home and while the Bucs come in off a victory as well, I think the under-manned visitors are going to have their hands full with the Panthers’ Cam Newton, who has returned to form over the last month. Home field advantage can not be overlooked as a deciding factor either in my opinion. Additionally note that Tampa is just 1-5 ATS in its last six as a road dog in the 3.5 to seven points range. Lay the points. T.M. Prediction: 34-20 Panthers. | |||||||
11-03-18 | Lakers +3.5 v. Blazers | Top | 114-110 | Win | 100 | 30 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Lakers (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) The Lakers have looked great at times this year and really bad in others. That’s going to be the case all year long until the team develops some really chemistry, but I believe the visitors can keep this one competitive and do in fact have a real shot at taking this one outright. LA enters off a 114-113 home win over Dallas, with James posting 29 points, five boards and six assists. The Blazers come in on the other end of the spectrum, having won three straight, most recently a 132-119 rout of New Orleans. Can anyone say letdown spot? Note that LA 10-6 ATS in its last 16 when playing with two days rest, while Portland is still just 20-23 ATS in its last 43 after allowing 115 points or more. T.M. Prediction: 115-110 Lakers. | |||||||
11-03-18 | Duke +8 v. Miami-FL | 20-12 | Win | 100 | 120 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Duke (8* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) Duke comes in off a 54-45 road loss to Pitt, while Miami dropped its second in a row in a 27-14 setback to BC last Friday night. Note that this is a revenge scenario for the Blue Devils, who have lost four straight in the series, including a 31-6 setback on the road last September 29th. Duke is averaging 31.4 PPG and it’s allowing only 23.5. Miami is averaging 34.5 PPG and it’s allowing only 19.2. The Hurricanes though have regressed on both sides of the ball over the last two games and I think the Blue Devils will have their opportunities. Note as well that Duke is 12-5 ATS in its last 17 as an underdog, while Miami is 0-6 ATS in its last six off a loss against a conference rival. T.M. Prediction: 27-23 Miami Florida. | |||||||
11-03-18 | Appalachian State v. Coastal Carolina +14.5 | 23-7 | Loss | -109 | 118 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Coastal Carolina (8* MONEY-MAKER) App State had won five in a row and made it into the AP Top 25 before then predictably stumbling at Georgia Southern last week. Coastal Carolina won’t be going down without a fight and it comes in with momentum with victories over UMass and Georgia State. The Mountaineers looked terrible on both sides of the ball in last week’s 34-14 setback. Also note that starting QB Zac Thomas left early in the first quarter with a concussion. Coastal Carolina’ QB Fred Payton and company have scored at least 20 points n each of their last seven contests after a 37-34 win over Georgia State last week and he’ll clearly be given the green light to fire down field again today as well. Note that App State is just 9-11 ATS in its last 20 against the conference, while the Chanticleers are 8-4 ATS in their last 12 as an underdog. T.M. Prediction: 35-27 App State. | |||||||
11-03-18 | Boston College v. Virginia Tech +2.5 | Top | 31-21 | Loss | -105 | 117 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Virginia Tech (10* ACC GAME OF MONTH) The Eagles are 6-2 and 3-1 in the ACC and they sit just 1.5 games behind No. 2 Clemson in the Atlantic Division of the ACC. BC hosts Clemson next weekend and I think it gets caught looking ahead. And while the Eagles have been fantastic at home, they’ve lost their last two away from friendly confines. An upset 27-14 win over Miami on October 26th has BC primed for a predictable letdown. VT is 4-3 overall and 3-1 in the Coastal division, one of three one loss teams with Virginia and Pittsburgh. Note as well that BC is just 3-4 ATS in its last seven after two or more consecutive SU victories, while VT is 8-6 ATS in its last 14 against teams with winning records. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 27-21 VT. | |||||||
11-03-18 | Memphis v. East Carolina +13 | Top | 59-41 | Loss | -108 | 113 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: East Carolina (10* UNDERDOG GAME OF THE YEAR) The Tigers come in reeling after consecutive losses, including giving up 65 points in a loss to Missouri last Saturday. The Tigers’ defense has been exposed and I think the hungry Pirates can keep it interesting. ECU enters off a 37-10 loss to the UCF. Memphis lost to the Golden Knights as well. Last week Memphis’ QB Brady White had just 208 yards on 15 of 37 passing with two TD’s and two INT’s. The run game has been strong, but ECU won’t be going down without a fight today. ECU started Holton Ahlers last week and he had 406 yards passing, one TD and an INT. He also rushed for 69 yards. Ahlers been given the keys to the ship and he’s going to have his opportunities today against the terrible Tigers’ defense. Note as well that Mempis is just 5-8 ATS in its last 13 on the road (including 0-3 ATS this season), while ECU is already 3-1 ATS this year as an underdog in the 10.5 to 21 points range. T.M. Prediction: 35-31 Memphis. | |||||||
11-03-18 | Michigan State v. Maryland +2.5 | 24-3 | Loss | -110 | 113 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Maryland (9* MONEY-MAKER) Maryland is 5-3 and searching a small upset here to punch its way into eligibility. After falling to Michigan, MSU bounced back with a 23-13 home win over Purdue, which was still in shock ater knocking off Ohio State on the road. QB Rocky Lombardi had 318 yards, two TD’s and no INT’s. The defense looked sharp in holding Purdue to 339 yards overall, but I think it’ll struggle to contain a Terps offense which has been sharp at home, knocking off Minnesota (42-13), Illinois (63-33) and Rutgers (34-7). Last week the Terps posted 712 yards overall and 431 rushing yards against the Illini, with QB Kasim Hill going for 265 yards and three TD’s. Note that MSU is just 8-14 ATS in its last 22 as a favorite and only 2-6 ATS in its last eight as a road favorite, while Maryland is already 3-1 ATS at home this year. T.M. Prediction: 26-21 Maryland. | |||||||
11-02-18 | Colorado v. Arizona -4 | 34-42 | Win | 100 | 123 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arizona (8*) Colorado comes in off a disheartening 41-34 OT loss to Oregon State at home and I believe it’ll stumble here in this difficult venue as well. Arizona is now trending in the opposite direction though, off a big 44-15 win at home over No. 19 Oregon last weekend. Colorado is averaging 32 PPG and allowing 23.9. Arizona is averaging 26.3 PPG and allowing 26.4. Note as well that the Wildcats are 6-2 ATS in their last eight at home, while the Buffaloes are 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine after posting more than 280 yards in their previous outing. T.M. Prediction: 35-21 Wildcats. | |||||||
11-02-18 | Knicks v. Mavs -6 | Top | 118-106 | Loss | -105 | 29 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) The Mavericks are desperate, they’re just 2-6 overall and they’ve lost five straight. It goes without saying that Dallas will be leaving everything it has on the floor tonight as it looks to get back into the winners circle. The good news is that’s it’s playing at home, where the Mavericks are a respectable 2-1 SU/ATS thus far. They also benefit in facing the Knicks, who are just 2-6 overall as well, including 0-3 on the road. Additionally note that Dallas is 7-2 ATSin its last nine following a four games or more unbeaten streak. T.M. Prediction: 113-100 Mavs. | |||||||
11-02-18 | Western Kentucky +14 v. Middle Tennessee State | 10-29 | Loss | -115 | 121 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: WKU (8*) WKU has been a disaster so far this year, its lone win coming against Ball State. MTSU has won two in a row, but I think the home side is going to get caught “looking past” its lowly opponent today. WKU is averaging only 19.8 PPG, but the defense has been decent in conceding 30. MTSU QB Brent Stockstill looked decent last week, but note that the Blue Raiders are still 0-4 ATS in their last four after two or more consecutive SU victories. No outright victory here, but a very solid back door cover. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 30-24 Blue Raiders. | |||||||
11-02-18 | Pittsburgh +7.5 v. Virginia | 23-13 | Win | 100 | 120 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh (8*) The Cavs have won three straight and while they may ultimately win their fourth in a row, I don’t expect the Panthers to go down without a fight. Pitt comes in off a big 54-45 win over Duke last weekend as V’Lique Carter would explode for 137 yards and two TD’s: “He’s a player on offense right now,” head coach Pat Narduzzi assured. “That’s where he’ll stay right now…. “He’s fast. Obviously he’ll get a few more carries [against Virginia].” The Cavs suffocating defense has led the charge during the recent surge, but I think they’ll have their hands full today with this dynamic Panthers’ offense which comes in on top form. Not as well that Pittsburgh is 10-3 ATS in its last 13 against teams with winning records, while UVA is still just 3-4 ATS in its last seven off a win against a conference rival. T.M. Prediction: 26-23 Virginia | |||||||
11-01-18 | Nuggets v. Cavs +6 | Top | 110-91 | Loss | -105 | 25 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Cavaliers (10* UNDERDOG GAME OF MONTH) Kevin Love is out, but the Cavs finally got off the schneid with a convincing victory at home over the Hawks last time out and I fully expect this veteran team to carry that momentum over here. Denver is the perfect opponent as well, because the Nuggets are in Chicago on Wednesday night. While I do in fact believe that the outright win isn’t out of the question here, I will in the end recommend grabbing the points. T.M. Prediction: 113-112 Nuggets. | |||||||
10-31-18 | Jazz v. Wolves +2.5 | Top | 125-128 | Win | 100 | 27 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota T-Wolves (10* TRADE-MARK) Utah enters off a 113-104 road win at Dallas, while Minnesota got back on track with a big 124-120 win over the Lakers on Monday. The Jazz are averaging 112.5 PPG and they’re allowing 106.2. The T-Wolves are averaging 114.3 PPG and they’re allowing 117.6. Clearly that’s not a recipe for success in the long-term, but I think Minnesota will build off its latest performance, while I expect a step back from Utah in this difficult road venue. Additionally note that Utah is just 10-15 ATS in its last 25 after playing three consecutive road games, while Minnesota is already 3-1 ATS this season against good offensive teams which score 106 plus points per contest. T.M. Prediction: 115-108 Minnesota. | |||||||
10-31-18 | Ball State +14 v. Toledo | Top | 13-45 | Loss | -110 | 72 h 23 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ball State (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) Toledo had lost two in a row before a big upset win over WMU last Thursday. Ball State has plenty of issues and it enters off a back-to-back wins over EMU and Ohio. Ball State in fact lost 52-14 to the Bobcats last week. Starting QB Riley Neal was injured early though and backup Drew Plitt struggled in his time. However, with a week off to prepare, Plitt will have his opportunities against this “on again, off again” Toledo defense in my opinion. Note that Toledo starting QB Mitch Guadagni suffered an injury in last week’s rout of WMU as well. That means that Eli Peters is now the starting QB and he’s had mixed results. Note as well that Ball State is 3-1 ATS in its last four as a road dog in the 14.5 to 21 points range, while Toledo is just 8-9 ATS in its last 17 at home and only 6-8 ATS off a win against a conference rival. T.M. Prediction: 35-28 Toledo. | |||||||
10-30-18 | Miami-OH v. Buffalo -7 | Top | 42-51 | Win | 100 | 49 h 55 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Buffalo (10* MONEY-MAKER) Miami Ohio enters off a tough 31-30 double OT setback to Army, while the Bulls posted a convincing 31-17 road victory over Toledo. Note that this is a revenge game for Buffalo after it fell 24-14 on the road in this series last year. Miami is averaging 26.2 PPG and allowing 24.9. The Bulls are averaging 32.9 PPG and allowing only 21.1. The Redhawks have been playing better defensively of late, but I think they’ll take a step back in this difficult road venue. Note as well that Miami Ohio is just 1-2 ATS in its last three off its bye week, while Buffalo is 4-1 ATS in its last five as a favorite in the 3.5 to ten points range. Lay the points, this one has “rout” written all over it. T.M. Prediction: 30-21 Buffalo. | |||||||
10-30-18 | Heat v. Hornets -4 | Top | 113-125 | Win | 100 | 27 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Charlotte Hornets (10* GAME OF WEEK) After a great start the Heat come in off a blowout loss at home to the Kings just last night and I think they’ll stumble again here in the second game of the back-to-back. Charlotte on the other hand will be risking life and limb to get back on track here after dropping three of its last four. The Hornets actually beat the Heat 113-112 back on October 20th, but this time around I’m expecting a much bigger victory. So far the Heat are averaging 111.2 PPG and allowing 105.4. The Hornets are averaging 114.1 PPG and they’re allowing 109. Note that Charlotte is 6-2 ATS in its last eight against the East, while Miami is just 2-5 ATS in the same position. This is in fact Miami’s third game in four nights. Lay the points as this one has “blowout” written all over it. T.M. Prediction: 115-107 Charlotte. | |||||||
10-29-18 | Mavs +6 v. Spurs | Top | 108-113 | Win | 100 | 31 h 0 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks (10* TRADE-MARK) The Mavericks have no time to dwell on a 113-104 loss at home to Utah last night. Normally I wouldn’t play on a team in the second game of a back to back, but the beginning of the season nullifies the fatigue factor in my opinion. After three straight losses and with a tough game against the Lakers on Wednesday, the Mavs will obviously be desperate for a victory here. The Spurs come in off a solid win over the Lakers on Saturday, but with a game against the lowly the Suns on Halloween, the home side could easily be caught looking past its lowly opponent tonight. Note as well that the Spurs are just 16-27 ATS the last two years against the division, while the Mavs are 19-13 ATS against divisional foes in the same span. T.M. Prediction: 108-107 Spurs. | |||||||
10-28-18 | Saints v. Vikings -1 | Top | 30-20 | Loss | -120 | 168 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Vikings (10* BLOWOUT GAME OF THE YEAR). Both teams are surging and each comes in off a victory. The Saints though won on the road last week and asking New Orleans to do it again this weekend in this difficult venue is going to be too much for even Drew Brees in my opinion. The Saints have been tough against the run, but poor against the pass, which doesn’t bode well facing the ever improving Kirk Cousins and company. Note as well that the Vikes are 14-5 ATS in their last 19 at home. T.M. Prediction: 33-27 Vikes. | |||||||
10-28-18 | Packers +10.5 v. Rams | 27-29 | Win | 100 | 164 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Green Bay Packers (9* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) The Rams are unbeaten and clearly they’re the better overall team across the board, but I still think that Aaron Rodgers and the under-manned Green Bay Packers will give the home side everything it can handle tonight. It’s hard to imagine anyone “looking past” a match-up against Rodgers, but with a game at surging New Orleans next weekend, it’s definitely not too hard to envision that happening to the Rams in some small way as well. Additionally note that LA is a poor 5-7 ATS in its last 12 after two or more consecutive SU victories, while Green Bay is a perfect 2-0 ATS in its last two after playing on MNF. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 30-27 LA. | |||||||
10-28-18 | Colts v. Raiders +1 | Top | 42-28 | Loss | -115 | 164 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oakland Raiders (10* GAME OF MONTH) Jon Gruden signed a 10-year $100 million contract. Dominating in his very first year is not a priority. That said, a 1-5 start is obviously not what he hand in mind either. Oakland still possesses plenty of talent on both sides of the ball though and coming out of their bye, I believe the Raiders take advantage of a Colts team which looks poised for a bit letdown here after last week’s victory. Andrew Luck has looked good so far this year, but so too has Derek Carr for the Raiders. Note as well that the Colts are still a terrible 11-17 ATS in their last 28 against conference opponents and only 5-11 ATS in their last 16 when the line in the game is set between +3 and -3. Expect Gruden to punch another one into the win column this afternoon. T.M. Prediction: 29-25 Oakland. | |||||||
10-28-18 | Browns +7.5 v. Steelers | 18-33 | Loss | -105 | 161 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Browns (8* SITUATIONAL BLOWOUT) These teams played to a 21-21 tie in Week 1 in Cleveland. Clearly we’re not going to see another “tie” game, however a “battle till the end” is fully anticipated. The Steelers have made big strides since Week 1, but Cleveland’s strength in special teams and on defense keep this one competitive late in my opinion. Baker Mayfield will be given the green light to make some plays today and I think he’ll have opportunity as well against a Steelers unit which has looked shaky at times this season. Further note that the Browns are already 4-1 ATS this year as an underdog, while the Steelers are just 1-3 ATS as the favorite. T.M. Prediction: 25-24 Steelers. | |||||||
10-28-18 | Jets v. Bears -5.5 | 10-24 | Win | 100 | 161 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Bears (8* BANKROLL BUILDER) The Jets are injured. RB Bilal Powell was lost for the season in last week’s blowout setback for New York. The Bears are in desperate need of a victory, but the remain competitive on both sides of the ball. A big blowout victory is just what the doctor ordered to get their season back on track and the lowly Jets are the perfect opponent to do that against. Jets’ QB Sam Darnold struggled last week and I think he’ll have difficulties in this hostile road venue this afternoon as well. Additionally note that the Jets are only 4-6 ATS in their last ten non-conference games. T.M. Prediction: 30-17 Chicago. | |||||||
10-27-18 | Hawaii +23.5 v. Fresno State | Top | 20-50 | Loss | -106 | 147 h 26 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hawaii (10* TRADE-MARK) Hawaii enters off a 40-22 loss to Nevada, while Fresno State comes in off a 38-7 road victory over New Mexico. Fresno State posted the 31-21 road win in Hawaii last year and I predict a similar point discrepancy here as well once it’s all said and done. So far Hawaii is averaging 34.9 PPG and allowing 32.9. Fresno State is averaging 38 PPG and allowing only 12.6. But note that the Bulldogs are just 1-2 ATS in their last three as a favorite in the 21.5 to 31 points range, while Hawaii is 4-2 ATS in its last six as an underdog in the same points range. No outright, but expect a tight battle. Play on Hawaii. T.M. Prediction: 35-25 Fresno State. | |||||||
10-27-18 | Blazers v. Heat -1 | Top | 111-120 | Win | 100 | 26 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Miami Heat (10* MONEY-MAKER) The Blazers are 3-1 to open the year and they come in off a road win in Orlando, but with upcoming contests and Indianapolis and Houston, before a home game against the Lakers, I think the visitors are going to get caught “looking past” their non-conference opponent tonight. Miami’s had two nights off to re-focus after a convincing 110-87 win over the Knicks and with two nights off again after this before a home game against the lowly Kings, the home side can indeed put their full attention onto the task at hand. Note as well that Portland is still only 34-36 ATS in its last 70 as an underdog, while Miami is 7-2 ATS in its last nine against poor defensive clubs which allow 106 plus points per contest. T.M. Prediction: 115-107 Heat. | |||||||
10-27-18 | NC State v. Syracuse -1 | 41-51 | Win | 100 | 144 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Syracuse (8* MONEY-MAKER!) NC State comes in off a deflating 41-7 loss to Clemson, while Syracuse comes in off a confidence-building 40-37 double OT victory over UNC. Syracuse plays with revenge here as well after NC State posted a 33-25 home win in the series last year. Overall NC State is averaging 28.7 PPG and allowing 20.8. The Orange have scored at least 30 points in six of their seven games and they’re allowing an average of 26.9 PPG. Note as well that Syracuse is 4-2 ATS in its last six off a win against a conference rival, while NC State is just 8-9 ATS in its last 17 following a conference game, including 0-2 ATS this season. T.M. Prediction: 37-30 Orange. | |||||||
10-27-18 | Duke -2.5 v. Pittsburgh | 45-54 | Loss | -106 | 140 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Duke (8* BANKROLL BUILDER) With a win Duke will become bowl eligible. The Panthers present the perfect opponent to try and attain that as they’re just 3-4, most recently coming off a loss to Notre Dame. Duke only managed 58 rushing yards in last week’s loss, but that was against Virginia, one of the best defenses in the nation. The Panthers are struggling across the board as well, especially offensively, last in yard per attempt in the country at just 5.9. QB Kenny Pickett has yet to throw for 200 yards in a game this year either. Note as well that Duke is already 3-0 ATS on the road this year, while Pittsburgh is just 7-10 ATS in its last 17 at home. T.M. Prediction: 27-17 Blue Devils. | |||||||
10-27-18 | Wake Forest +1.5 v. Louisville | Top | 56-35 | Win | 100 | 137 h 0 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Wake Forest (10* BLOWOUT GAME OF THE YEAR) The Demon Deacons are hungry to get back on track here after losing four of their last five, while Louisville enters on a four-game slide as well after falling to BC this past weekend. Wake Forest is averaging 30.1 PPG and it’s allowing 37.0. Louisville is averaging just 20.4 PPG while allowing 33.4. Two bottom feeders, but Wake has the much more coherent offense at this point. Also note that the Cardinals are a terrible 3-10 ATS in their last 13 home games, while Wake Forest is 5-2-1 ATS in its last eight against teams with a losing record. T.M. Prediction: 37-30 Wake Forest. | |||||||
10-27-18 | Wisconsin v. Northwestern +6 | 17-31 | Win | 100 | 137 h 59 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Northwestern (8* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) Wisconsin comes in off a blowout win over Illinois and I think it’ll be caught a little flat-footed against a Northwestern team desperate for a victory. The Badgers average 33 PPG, but QB Alex Hornibrook looked pretty average in last week’s win, finishing 13 of 22 for 188 yards, three TD’s, but also two INT’s. Northwestern is averaging just 24.3 PPG, but it’s also allowing only 24.6 PPG. RB Isaiah owed had 108 yards and two TD’s in last week’s 18-16 win over Rutgers. Note though that Wisconsin is already 0-2 ATS this year off a win against a conference rival, while Northwestern is 9-3 ATS in its last 12 as an underdog and 7-2 ATS in its last nine after two or more consecutive SU victories. T.M. Prediction: 27-25 Badgers. | |||||||
10-26-18 | Wyoming +2.5 v. Colorado State | 34-21 | Win | 100 | 124 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Wyoming (8* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) It’s a big game for both teams despite overall disappointing campaigns for each to this point. But each stands with five total wins, meaning that one more and it’ll become “eligible.” In a contest which I envision being decided by whichever school has its hands on the ball last, I’m grabbing the points. Wyoming’s offense has been horrible this year, but the Cowboys have been stout defensively. Last week Wyoming QB Sean Chamber was decent, running for 100 yards on 19 attempts. Colorado State has given up 37.8 PPG this season and the offense is completely one-dimensional as well. I have a hard time seeing the Rams mustering much of an offensive attack tonight. I think Wyoming wins outright. T.M. Prediction: 26-21 Wyoming. | |||||||
10-26-18 | Warriors -12 v. Knicks | Top | 128-100 | Win | 100 | 29 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors (10* MONEY-MAKER) No upsets in the Big Apple, as I expect the two-time defending champs to come in focused on the task at hand. Golden State most recently destroyed Washington 144-122 on Wednesday, while New York returns home off a humbling 110-87 setback in Miami. Golden State is averaging 119.4 PPG and it’s allowing 109.6. New York is averaging 106.4 PPG and it’s allowing 110.2. Note as well that the Knicks are just 5-16-1 ATS in their last 22 against teams with a winning percentage above .600, while GS is 5-1 ATS in its last six against teams with losing SU records. Lay the points and expect a blowout from start to finish. T.M. Prediction: 125-105 Warriors. | |||||||
10-26-18 | Miami-FL v. Boston College +4 | Top | 14-27 | Win | 100 | 121 h 36 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Boston College (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) The Hurricanes come in flustered after their stunning loss to Virginia and I think the hungry Eagles will make the most of this opportunity. Last week Miami Florida fell flat in a 16-13 road loss to the Cavaliers, while BC smashed Louisville 38-20. Miami is making a permanent shift at QB now after last week’s disaster, as N’Kosi Perry is gone and senior Malik Rosier is back running the show. Probably a good move overall, but the uncertainty at this point of the season at the most important position isn’t a good thing. Miami’s vaunted defense is going to have its hands full today as well trying to slow down Eagles’ RB Ben Glines, who had 219 rushing yards and two TD’s last weekend. Note that the Hurricanes are just 7-12 ATS in their last 19 following a conference contest, while BC is 10-5 ATS in its last 15 in the same position. I’m grabbing the points. T.M. Prediction: 25-24 Miami Florida. | |||||||
10-25-18 | Dolphins +7 v. Texans | Top | 23-42 | Loss | -110 | 97 h 47 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Miami Dolphins (10* GAME OF THE WEEK) These teams are moving in opposite directions. Miami has lost three straight, most recently a 32-21 home loss to Detroit, while Houston has won four straight, most recently a 20-7 road victory over Jacksonville. The good news for the Dolphins though is that there still in the mix sitting at 4-3 and I believe that they’ll give the over-confident Texans everything they can handle this evening. Ryan Tannehill is out for the Fish, but Brock Osweiler now has plenty of experience, and I don’t personally see much of a difference between the two pivots anyways. The Texans may have won four straight, but their offense continues to underwhelm. Note that Houston is already 0-2 ATS this year as a 3.5 to 9.5 points favorite and only 1-5 ATS in its last six after two or more consecutive SU victories. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 23-20 Dolphins. |
