11-14-20 | Miami-FL v. Virginia Tech UNDER 67.5 | 25-24 | Win | 100 | 96 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Virginia Tech/Miami Florida UNDER (8* MONEY-MAKER). D'Eriq King and Miami have won three straight. The Hurricanes are rolling on both sides of the ball and they now catch a VT team off a 38-35 loss to Liberty as a 17 point favorite. The Hokies play with revenge here, as they're just 4-2 the last six in this series. Miami averages 34.4 PPG, but it allows just 24.9. Virigina Tech has averaged 37.3 PPG in the early going and it's allowed 31.6. The Hokies though are dealing with several injuries and note that the total has gone under the number in 12 of these teams last 17 in the series overall. This is a shortened season, but I expect this particular contest to be more of a "chess match," rather than a "shootout." This number is high, play the under! T.M. Prediction: 28-27 Miami Florida. | |||||||
11-13-20 | Iowa v. Minnesota +3.5 | Top | 35-7 | Loss | -107 | 79 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota (10* ELITE OF THE ELITE). Both teams enter at 1-2. In a contest which I see being decided by whichever of these teams has its hands on the ball last, I'm going to recommend to grab as many points as you can. Minnesota finally got off the schneid with a 41-14 win over Illinois last time out, while Iowa broke a two-game skid with a 49-7 victory over MSU. To say this is a "revenge" game would be a bit of an understatement, as Iowa has won five straight in this series, including a 23-19 victory last season. Iowa QB Spencer Petras is just a game manager, as the focus is on Tyler Goodson at RB, who so far has 233 yards rushing and three TD's. The Gophers lost two tough/close games to open the season as well. In their win over the Illini they had 325 rushing yards and 216 yards through the air. RB Mohamed Ibrahim had 224 yards on 30 carries with four touchdowns. Minnesota is also 5-1-1 ATS in its last seven vs. teams with losing records, while Iowa is just 2-5 ATS in its last seven following an ATS victory. Both teams looked a lot better in their last outing, but Ibrahim is on a different level right now and I can't see the Hawkeyes keeping pace. Grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 29-27 Minnesota. | |||||||
11-12-20 | Colts v. Titans -125 | Top | 34-17 | Loss | -125 | 61 h 26 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Titans (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). The Colts are ranked third in the league in defense. They're great at stopping the run, which is Tennessee's strength. The Titans broke a two-game slide with a win and cover over the Bears and I expect them to carry that momentum over here. Tennessee will still try to pound the ball, but this is a big moment for Ryan Tannehill to step up. The Colts' Philip Rivers looked poor in the second half of his team's 24-10 home loss to Baltimore, throwing for 227 yards and an interception. Tennessee's secondary is getting healthier and I think it's getting vastly underrated at home here. I expect a decisive Titans win and cover, so lay the points, or grab the points, it doesn't matter! T.M. Prediction: 28-21 Tennessee. | |||||||
11-12-20 | Colorado State v. Boise State -13.5 | Top | 21-52 | Win | 100 | 56 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Boise State (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). Boise State got hammered 51-17 at home last time out. The Broncos though were playing with their third-string QB in Cade Fennegan, who had 187 yards, two TD's and an INT. BYU streamrolled the Broncos, but I expect a bounce back here at home, even with Fennegan under center again. Fennegan was thrown to the wolves vs. BYU, but with that awkward adjustment game under his belt and now facing the lowly Rams, I expect a much different result here. CSU beat Wyoming 34-24, but it still allowed 465 yards of offense. The differene was that CSU managed to recover three turnovers. Turnovers are difference makers. Note that Boise State is 7-2 ATS in its last nine after allowing 50 or more points in its last outing. Look for the Broncos to pull away down the stretch and lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 40-21 Boise State. | |||||||
11-11-20 | Central Michigan v. Northern Illinois +8 | Top | 40-10 | Loss | -107 | 32 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Northern Illinois (10* TRADE-MARK). CMU comes in off a tight 30-27 win over Ohio last weekend. QB Daniel Richardson had a passing touchdown and a rushing touchdown in the victory. The Chips defense lost some key players over the offseason and I think they'll have their hands full with this hungry Huskies team, looking for its first win of the season. There's only six games being played in the MAC season, so every contest counts. NIU lost 49-30 to Buffalo in its opener. Ross Bowers took the majority of snaps and he had 202 passing yards and a touchdown. Let's not over-react to Week 1 results. These team's defenses are poor and I think that Bowers will have some opportunties tonight. No outright, but closer than expected; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 31-27 CMU. | |||||||
11-10-20 | Kent State v. Bowling Green OVER 55 | 62-24 | Win | 100 | 13 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Bowling Green/Kent State OVER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). The Golden Flashes enter off a 27-23 win over EMU. Bowling Green comes in off a blowout 38-3 setback to Toledo on Wednesday. Bowling Green QB Dustin Crum is in for another big day vs. this poor Bowling Green secondary. Crum had 219 yards, two TD's and an INT last week. Kent State also has two INT's and four sacks in the game. To say Bowling Green was upset by its performane last week is an understatement: “I am extremely disappointed in our first game," BG head coach Scot Loeffler said afterwards. “The positives were just like I said. I thought at times the defense played well. Offensively, disappointed. We didn’t put them in positions to make plays. We did it quite a bit, and we just didn’t execute which was really disappointing.” Expect a much better offensive pefromance from Bowling Green this week. This number is to low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 51-21 Kent State. | |||||||
11-10-20 | Akron +27.5 v. Ohio | Top | 10-24 | Win | 100 | 12 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Akron (10* TRADE-MARK). Both teams come in off losses. The Zips got rushed 58-13 to WMU, while the Bobcats dropped a tight 30-27 decision to Central Michigan. Do I think that Akron is going to win this game outright? I do not. But I also don't expect Ohio to run up the score in the second half if it does in fact have a lead. That's going to leave the back door wide open for QB Zach Gibson to get some garbage production. Ohio is at Miami Ohio next week, so this sets up as a "look-ahead" as well for the Bobcats. Suffice it to say, I'm grabbing the points! T.M. Prediction: 37-21 Ohio. | |||||||
11-09-20 | Patriots v. Jets +7.5 | 30-27 | Win | 100 | 151 h 9 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Jets (10* MAYHEM). The Patriots have "owned" the Jets over the last few years. In fact, New England has won eight in a row over New York. But the Patriots are now on the verge of being eliminated from playoff contention. Cam Newton has two touchdown passes and seven interceptions. Sam Darnold has also struggled for the Jets, but his familiarity of the scheme is a huge bonus for New York in this case. I simply can not see how the Patriots can be favored by this much on the road, despite the issues the Jets are having this season. I'm predicting that this one comes down to whichever of these desperate teams has its hands on the ball last; so that means grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 21-19 New England. | |||||||
11-08-20 | Saints v. Bucs UNDER 52 | Top | 38-3 | Win | 100 | 127 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Saints/Bucs UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE MONTH). These defenses are both underrated. I think these units will absolutely become the main story lines in tomorrow's summaries. The first game between these clubs went over, but this one has under written all over it. Tampa's run game is strong and the last thing the home side wants to do is to turn this into a "track meet" with Drew Brees. Note as well that the under has hit in nine of these teams last 12 against each other on this field. This number is too high! T.M. Prediction: 24-21 Tampa. | |||||||
11-08-20 | Steelers -14 v. Cowboys | 24-19 | Loss | -111 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Steelers (8* ANNIHILATION). No need to overanalyze this one. Ben Roethlisberger looks like a man possessed now that he's back in Pittsburgh and I like the Steelers to continue their red hot run here vs. this extremely poor Cowboys team. Dallas has the worst defense in the league and it's down to its fourth-string QB. Pittsburgh is among the league leaders on both sides of the ball. Note that Dallas is 0-4 ATS in its last four at home and 0-5 ATS in its last five following a SU loss, while Pittsburgh is 4-1 ATS in its last five when playing the role of favorite. I'm laying the points, and expecting a blowout! T.M. Prediction: 35-10 Pittsburgh. | |||||||
11-08-20 | Seahawks -2.5 v. Bills | 34-44 | Loss | -110 | 120 h 59 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle (9* ELITE OF THE ELITE). Seattle averags 34.3 PPG and it allows 28.4. Buffalo comes in off a crucial win over the Patriots last time out, but the Bills offense has taken a step back the last two weeks. In fact note that Buffalo averages 24.8 points per game and it allows 24.9. The Bills are also just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 as a home dog and only 1-4 ATS in their last five following an ATS loss, while Seattle is 7-3-1 ATS in its last 11 as a favorite. I like Seattle to pull away down the stretch for the big win and cover! T.M. Prediction: 35-20 Seattle. | |||||||
11-08-20 | Lions v. Vikings -3.5 | 20-34 | Win | 100 | 120 h 59 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vikings (8* DOMINATION). Minnesota won this game at home last year 20-7. The Lions lost 41-21 to the Colts at home last weekend and I think they'll have their hands full here as well on the road. Matt Stafford has been the lone bright spot for Detroit's offense, as RB Adrian Peterson is averaging only 3.8 yards per carry. Detroit really missed WR Kenny Golladay last week and he's once again out this week as well. Minnesota didn't roll over last week in its 28-22 win at Green Bay. Dalvin Cook had a monster day, gaining 5.4 yards per carry. Minnesota is also 38-18-1 ATS in its last 57 at home, while Detroit is only 4-10 ATS in its last 14 versus the NFC. This one has ats "blowout" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 30-20 Minnesota. | |||||||
11-08-20 | Bears v. Titans -5 | 17-24 | Win | 100 | 120 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Titans (9* BANKROLL BUILDER). The Titans have lost two in a row, including an upset setback at Cincinnati last weekend. The Titans now look to get back on track against a Bears team which has likely over exceeded to this point and which struggles with offensive consistency. Despite the two straight losses, Tennessee still domiantes the Bears in almost every offensvie and defensive statistical categories. Look for Tennessee to build on its solid 7-2 ATS record after back-to-back SU losses. I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: 29-18 Tennessee. | |||||||
11-08-20 | Wolverhampton Wanderers v. Leicester +139 | Top | 0-1 | Win | 139 | 116 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Leicester City (10* GAME OF THE MONTH). Leicester City come into this game on the back of a 4-0 win over Primeira Liga side Braga on Thursday and I like its chances at home. Wolverhmapton comes in off a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace last weekend, but it was down to just ten men. I like Jamey Vardy and the Foxes, who continue to post impressive results, despite a few injuries. Home field is the difference. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 City. | |||||||
11-07-20 | Washington State +3 v. Oregon State | 38-28 | Win | 100 | 15 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: WSU (8*). While the outright isn't out of the question, in the end I'll recommend to grab up the points! WSU won this game in a shootout last year 54-53. Washington State turns to QB Jayden de Laura to make his first career start. Max Borghi is back in the backfield, he finished with 817 yards and 11 touchdowns last year. Overall the Cougars averaged 37.6 PPG, while allowing only 31.4. Oregon State averaged only 31.5 PPG and it allowed 32.5. Tristan Gebbia is now the starting QB in Oregon State after seeing limited time last year, but note that the Beavers are just 1-4 ATS the last five in this series in front of the home town crowd. Oregon State lost its top QB, WR and RB and I think it'll stumble out of the gate; that said, grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 33-30 WSU. | |||||||
11-07-20 | Stanford v. Oregon OVER 50.5 | 14-35 | Loss | -113 | 12 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Stanford/Oregon OVER (8*). These two teams combined for just 27 points in Oregon's 21-6 win in this contest last year, but I expect a much more wide-open shootout in 2020. The Cardinal lost their final four games last year and finished 4-8. The Ducks won the Pac 12 and beat Wisconsin 28-27 in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day. Stanford has stability at QB in Davis Mills, who split time with KJ Costello last year. All four top wide receivers are back for the Cardinal as well. Stanford is thin in the run department, so expect the visitors to air it out early and often. And we have an old fashioned QB battle in Oregon now that Justin Herbert is gone. Look for Tyler Shough and Anthony Brown to bring their A game tonight as they look to solidify the No. 1 spot. Another great situational play here, I look for this one to eclipse the posted number as the game comes down the stretch! T.M. Prediction: 35-25 Oregon. | |||||||
11-07-20 | Rutgers +39.5 v. Ohio State | 27-49 | Win | 100 | 12 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Rutgers (8*). Ohio State comes in off a big win over Penn State, while Rutgers enters off a tough loss vs. Indiana. Do I think that Rutgers is going to pull off the upset here? Of course not. This pick is situationally based, as I believe that the home side will trot out the second unit in the second half as they get ready to hit the road and play at Maryland next weekend. I'm grabbing the points! T.M. Prediction: 40-20 OSU. | |||||||
11-07-20 | Clemson -5 v. Notre Dame | Top | 40-47 | Loss | -114 | 103 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Clemson (10* ELITE OF THE ELITE). The ACC is playing a 12-game schedule. Both teams are very similar, undefeated and each features top notch defensive units. Clemson is 7- and is the No. 1 ranked team in the nation. QB Trevor Lawrence will miss his second straight game due to Covid 19 issues. Backup DJ Uiagalelei threw for 342 yards, completing 30 of 41 passes with two touchdowns in his first career start, in a come from behind 34-28 win over Boston College last weekend. With that nervous start out of his way, I think that Uigalelei settles down nicely here on the road. Travis Etinnie had two TD's last week and as good as ND's defense is, I think it'll have its hnads full. Brian Kelley and the Irish are 6-0 after defeating Georgia Tech last time out. Clemson though is 11-2 ATS in its last 13 as a road favorite. The Tigers only allow 3.0 YPC, and the run is the strength of Notre Dame's offense. If Lawrence were playing, this spread would be significantly higher. The value is on the visiting side to roll! T.M. Prediction: 30-20 Clemson. | |||||||
11-07-20 | UMass +45 v. Marshall | 10-51 | Win | 100 | 98 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UMass (9* BEST OF THE BEST). After getting blanked 41-0 by Georgia Southern, I look for the Minutemen to put some points on the board today. UMass is only playing three games this year, so clearly this one counts! The Herd have only allowed 9.4 PPG in the early going, but I look for Marshall to send in the second unit in the second half, as it looks ahead to its game vs. Charlotte, which it inexplicably lost to last year. I like Mike Fallon to get some production on the second half for UMass. I love Marshall to win this game, but everything points to it being a lot closer than what this spread would suggest; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 40-14 Marshall. | |||||||
11-06-20 | San Jose State v. San Diego State -8.5 | Top | 28-17 | Loss | -108 | 84 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: SDSU (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). Both teams are 2-0. Their competition has been weak, and now each faces a stiffer test this weekend. SDSU was one of the best teams in the league last year though, while SJSU had a combined seven wins over its last three years. The Spartans and Nick Starkel have looked great in the early going, but I expect a predictable step back here in this difficult road venue. The Aztecs look fantastic on both sides of the ball. Last year they were among the defensive leaders and this season they're No. 1 in allowing just 6.7 PPG. The Aztecs dominant run game and defense are the difference makers for me; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 34-14 SDSU. | |||||||
11-06-20 | Miami-FL -10 v. NC State | 44-41 | Loss | -106 | 82 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Miami Florida (8* MONEY-MAKER). NC State was off last week, but previous to that it fell 48-21 to UNC. Miami is looking for its third-straight win after a narrow 19-14 win over UVA last time out. D'Eriq King had 322 yards passing and two TD's vs. UVA on October 24th. Miami's defense did a great job in slowing down UVA QB Brennan Armstrong, allowing just 181 yards through the air, so I have a difficult time seeing NC State's QB duo producing much here. Bailey Hockman and Ben Finley have split time under center and whoever gets the call here will likely be without the help of No. 1 RB Ricky Person Jr., who left with a concussion in the UNC loss. NC State is also just 2-8 ATS in its last ten vs. teams with winning records, while Miami is 6-2 ATS in its last eight vs. a team with a winning record. I like King to have another big day here and I look for the Hurricanes to pull away for the comfortable cover in the end! T.M. Prediction: 38-20 Miami Florida. | |||||||
11-05-20 | Wyoming -3.5 v. Colorado State | Top | 24-34 | Loss | -109 | 61 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Wyoming (10* ELITE OF THE ELITE). Wyoming comes in off a relatively simple 31-7 win over Hawaii last Thursday and I like the Cowboys to carry that momentum over into another solid win and cover on the road in this favorable matchup. The Rams come in off a 38-17 loss to Fresno State, falling behind 24-10 at half-time and never able to recover after that. Wyoming held the ball for 17 more minutes than the Warriors in its opening victory, as QB Levi Williams had 339 passing yards and a touchdown. Colorado State allowed 348 passing yards in last week's loss, and that doesn't bode well facing the red hot Williams. This is a poor matchup for the Rams' defense and I like the deeper and more talented Cowboys to take advantage; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 33-20 Wyoming. | |||||||
11-05-20 | Packers v. 49ers UNDER 50.5 | Top | 34-17 | Loss | -110 | 56 h 52 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Niners/Packers UNDER FIRST HALF (10* SUPER TOTAL). San Francisco has struggled this year, mainly due to injuries. Last week it's two-game win streak was snapped in a 37-27 setback at Seattle. The 49ers though lost the services of their two best offensive players in QB Jimmy G and TE George Kittle. Green Bay was upset at home to the Vikings last weekend, getting torched by Dalvin Cook for 187 rushing yards and three TD's on the ground. The 49ers will look to duplicate that same success vs. Green Bay here, as it looks to avoid putting the ball into Rodgers hands as long as possible. Look for these two teams to battle tough in the opening half and for this total to fall well under the number. T.M. Prediction: 13-7 Green Bay. | |||||||
11-04-20 | Buffalo v. Northern Illinois +11.5 | Top | 49-30 | Loss | -110 | 36 h 35 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Northern Illinois (10* TRADE-MARK). Northern Illinois has plenty of new faces on both sides of the ball this year, but starting QB Ross Bowers is back under center. Clearly having stability at the QB position to open the year is a huge plus. Kyle Vantrease starts for Buffalo, but I see no advantage between these players. The QB position is a wash this week. Buffalo is the better team, but I expect it to get caught looking past its lowly opponent here and I believe it'll take the foot off the gas in the second half. No outright upset, but much closer than what this spread would suggest; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Buffalo. | |||||||
11-04-20 | Eastern Michigan v. Kent State -6 | 23-27 | Loss | -109 | 35 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kent State (8* MONEY-MAKER). EMU was last in the Mid-American West conference with a 6-7 record last year, while the Golden Flashes finished third with a 7-6 record. Kent State won this game 34-26 last year, but I expect a larger blowout win today. EMU had a strong passing game last year, but a weak run game. The Eagles welcome back QB Mike Glass III, who led the MAC in passing yards. But Kent State finished last year on a winning run and I expect that momentum to get carried over here. Kent State's Dustin Crum led the team in both passing and rushing yards. The Flashes are also 4-1 ATS in their last five at home, while EMU is 0-5 ATS in its last five in this series. I like Crum and the Flashes to pull away down the stretch for the comfortable cover; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 45-21 Kent State. | |||||||
11-02-20 | Bucs v. Giants +11 | Top | 25-23 | Win | 100 | 156 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Giants (10* MONEY-TRAIN). Let's be honest, it would be A LOT easier to write a convincing argument for the Bucs to win and cover this game. Tom Brady is on fire and Tampa is off back-to-back big victories over the Packers and on the road last week at the Texans. New York has lost its last three games by three-points or less. The Giants won't be in the playoffs, but they remain competitive. First year coach Joe Judge won't be rolling over and playing dead, he'll continue to try and find ways to help his team win and a big upset at home over Tom Brady and company would be huge. That may not happen, but I think the Giants can keep this one very close. In what I expect to be a "nail-biter," I'll recommend to grab as many points as you can! T.M. Prediction: 24-21 Tampa. | |||||||
11-01-20 | Cowboys v. Eagles OVER 42.5 | 9-23 | Loss | -105 | 132 h 46 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Eagles/Cowboys OVER (8* TOTAL BLOWOUT). This is a low total. I think this one has the potential to fly over the number by half! Yes, the Cowboys have played terribly this year, mainly due to their league-worst defense, which so far has conceeded over 37 PPG. That unit does catch a bit of a break facing this Eagles offense, which I wouldn't classify as "explosive," however Philadelphia will definitely be looking to build off its consecutive victories here and take full control of the NFC East with a big win. Despite the Cowboys being down to thrid-string QB Ben DiNucci, I expect this one to be a classic shootout till the end. Philadelphia has been terrible against the run, so expect to see a big performance from Cowboys' star RB Ezekiel Elliot as well, who will be out to redeem himself here after fumbling the ball twice in last week's loss. Look for this total to fly over sooner, rather than later! T.M. Prediction: 27-25 Dallas. | |||||||
11-01-20 | Cowboys +7.5 v. Eagles | 9-23 | Loss | -110 | 132 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cowboys (9* TRADE-MARK). Yes, the Cowboys have played terribly this year, mainly due to their league-worst defense, which so far has conceeded over 37 PPG. That unit does catch a bit of a break facing this Eagles offense, which I wouldn't classify as "explosive," however Philadelphia will definitely be looking to build off its consecutive victories here and take full control of the NFC East with a big win. Despite the Cowboys being down to thrid-string QB Ben DiNucci, I expect this one to be a classic shootout till the end. Philadelphia has been terrible against the run, so expect to see a big performance from Cowboys' star RB Ezekiel Elliot as well, who will be out to redeem himself here after fumbling the ball twice in last week's loss. I like an outright upset here as these two teams fight for the division lead, but that said, in the end I'll recommend to grab as many points as you can! T.M. Prediction: 27-25 Dallas. | |||||||
11-01-20 | Saints -2.5 v. Bears | Top | 26-23 | Win | 100 | 154 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: NO Saints New Orleans won this game 36-25 last October and I expect a similar final result here as well. New Orleans is coming out of a 27-24 win over Carolina in its last game. Drew Brees had 287 passing yards and two touchdowns. The Saints offensive line has been big this year, allowing just 1.3 sacks per game. That's also given Alvin Kamara room to operate on the ground. Chicago has now lost back-to-back games, most recently a listless 24-10 setback at the Rams last weekend. The Bears offense struggled and I expect that to continue here. Chicago's defense has been its strength in the early going, but I expect that unit to struggle to contain Brees and company. Note that New Orleans is 20-6 ATS in its last 26 games on the road when facing a team with a winning record at home, while Chicago is a poor 2-8 ATS in its last ten following a loss. I love New Orleans to run the score up early, but never take the foot off the gas. Lay the points, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: 31-21 Saints | |||||||
11-01-20 | Chargers -3 v. Broncos | 30-31 | Loss | -107 | 128 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chargers (8* MONEY-MAKER). The Chargers enter off a a win over Jacksonville and I like them to build and take advantage of this wounded Broncos side. Denver most recently got crushed by the Chiefs last weekend. Chargers' rookie QB Justin Herbert is the front runner for offensive rookie of the year with 12 touchdowns and only three INT's. LA's defense is underrated as well in my opinion. The Broncos' Drew Lock has one TD and four interceptions on the season. Denver averages only 19.3 PPG and it concedes 25.3. Denver is also just 2-5 ATS in its last seven following a double-digit loss at home, while the Chargers are 4-0-1 ATS in their last five on the road. Look for LA's pressure up front to be too much for Lock once again this week. I'm laying the short points! T.M. Prediction: 27-18 Chargers. | |||||||
11-01-20 | Colts -2.5 v. Lions | 41-21 | Win | 100 | 124 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Colts (8* ULTIMATE BLOWOUT). Indianapolis comes out of a timely bye-week. Previous to that it beat Cincinnati 31-27. Detroit comes in off its second straight win and I think it'll struggle with this tough Colts defense. The Lions held on for a 23-22 win over the Falcons in their last outing. Colts' QB Philip Rivers looked great in the win over the Bengals, finishing with three touchdowns, an INT and 371 yards passing. Indianapolis allows 19.2 PPG and it allows 26.2. Detroit is also just 2-6 ATS in its last eight after back-to-back ATS victories, while the Colts are still 5-0 ATS in their last five vs. the NFC North. Detroit faces its toughest defense yet and I think it'll predictably struggle here. Lay the short points on the rested Rivers! T.M. Prediction: 30-20 Colts. | |||||||
11-01-20 | Jets +19.5 v. Chiefs | 9-35 | Loss | -110 | 124 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Jets FIRST HALF(8* BANKROLL BUILDER). Obviously this is a massive spread, but I like New York to keep this one tight in the first half, before KC then pulls away in the second. It's doubtful that the Chiefs would try to run up this score in the second half if they do in fact have a lead either. KC needs to just control the clock here, avoid injury and look ahead to its next game. For Sam Darnold and the Jets though, they're aren't going to simply roll over here. In fact, it was just three weeks ago that an undermanned Raiders team came to KC and left with one of the biggest upsets in the history of the NFL. This is a great situational play, I'm grabbing the points and the Jets in the FIRST HALF! T.M. Prediction: 14-10 KC. | |||||||
11-01-20 | Raiders +2.5 v. Browns | 16-6 | Win | 100 | 124 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Las Vegas (9* UNDERDOG BEST OF THE BEST). The Browns have looked a lot better of late, but the injury to No. 1 receiver OBJ is significant in my opinion. The Raiders have won two of their three road games outright as well. Last weekend Las Vegas lost 45-20 at home to a red hot Bucs team, but David Carr now faces one of the worst secondaries in the league. Las Vegas is also 4-1 ATS in its last five on the road. I think Cleveland gets caught "looking ahead" here to its bye week as well. Grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 28-25 Las Vegas. | |||||||
11-01-20 | Everton +104 v. Newcastle United | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 74 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Everton (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). Newcastle comes into this game off a 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton last Sunday. Everton on the other hand enters off its second straight loss, a 2-0 setback to Southampton. Previous to that Everton had gotten out to a hot league start and I beleive it'll finally return to form here after back-to-back poor performances. These two teams played to a 2-2 draw earlier in the season, but despite a recent dip in form and also some key injuries, I look for the Toffees to get the job done here in this favorable matchup! T.M. Prediction: 2-0 Everton. | |||||||
10-31-20 | Anderson Silva v. Uriah Hall UNDER 4.5 | Top | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 28 h 59 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Anderson Silva/Uriah Hall UNDER (10* TOTAL OF MONTH). Anderson Silva will be looking to go out in a blaze of glory here in my opinion, as this will be his final fight ever. Most recently he was beaten by TKO in the first round by Jared Cannonier in Mya. Uriah Hall on the other hand beat Antonio Carlos Junior last September: "Anderson has been someone I've idolized for years, so to me that's a trophy fight," Hall said. "It's a championship fight to me in my mind." With both men pushing hard from the start, look for this one to end quickly! T.M. Prediction: Under 4.5 rounds. | |||||||
10-31-20 | Oklahoma -14.5 v. Texas Tech | Top | 62-28 | Win | 100 | 107 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Okalahoma (10* TRADE-MARK). Okalahoma enters having won two in a row after smashing TCU 33-14 on Saturday, covering as a 6.5-point favorite. Texas Tech improved to 2-3 after beating WVU 34-27 as a 2.5 point underdog. Oklahoma held TCU to just 351 yards of total offense and Desmond Ridder leads an offense which averages 39.8 PPG. The Red Raiders made a QB change last week and Henry Colombi had 169 yards and a touchdown. Overall Texas Tech though averages 32.2 PPG, but it allows 37. Oklahoma is also 4-1 ATS in its last five after posting more than 450 yards in its previous game. Rattler is coming off his best game ever and I think he carries that confidence and momentum over here. Lay the points, expect a rout! T.M. Prediction: 50-20 Oklahoma. | |||||||
10-31-20 | Arkansas v. Texas A&M -11 | 31-42 | Push | 0 | 107 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Texas A&M (8* BLOWOUT). Arkansas is coming off a big win over Ole Miss, but I expect it to predictably stumble here. Texas A&M enters having won two in a row after dispatching Mississippi State last weekend. Arkansas has ten interceptions in the early going. Feleipe Franks has been decent so far in the early going, but now he faces a tough Aggie team and defense which is 3-1 so far. A&M QB Kellen Mond has nine touchdowns and only two interceptions, while the Aggies are also averaging 172.3 YPG on the ground. The step up in competition will prove to be too much for Franks. I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: 40-21 A&M. | |||||||
10-31-20 | Ole Miss v. Vanderbilt UNDER 62.5 | 54-21 | Loss | -108 | 103 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ole Miss/Vandy UNDER (9* BANKROLL BUILDER). These teams are a combined 1-7 so far this year. Vanderbilt goes with Ken Seals under center, and he's yet to have over 150 passing yards in a game this year. Ole Miss QB Matt Corral has eight interceptions in his last two games alone. These two teams will be out to establish the run from the outset for sure as they look to alleviate some of the pressure from their over-pressured pivots. These two defenses catch a big break finally facing such poor offenses. Look for this one to stay well under once it's all said and done! T.M. Prediction: 35-20 Ole Miss. | |||||||
10-31-20 | Boston College v. Clemson -31 | 28-34 | Loss | -108 | 99 h 12 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Clemson (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). I got down early before the news of Trevor Lawrence contracting Covid 19, so I have a significantly worse line than what you have (I sure hope so anyways!) Regardless though, I expect the Tigers to lay the hammer down here on the hapless Eagles. Clemson most recently smashed Syracuse 47-21. BC averages 278.5 yards per game passing behind Paul Jurkovec, but the run game averages only 99.2 YPG, which ranks 89th in the country. BC allows an average of 25.0 PPG, but it has many players questionable for this one, including defensive lineman Izaiah Henderson, defensive back Jio Holmes, wide receiver Ethon Williams, tight end Hans Lilia, wide receiver Justin Bellido and running Pat Garwo III. Clemson only allows 13.5 PPG, which is ranked 12th in the nation. I think the Tigers' defense will look to take responsibility for the win today and I have a hard time seeing BC mustering any sort of offensive attack. Clearly there's going to be a bit of a drop off on the offensive side for Clemson with DJ Uiagalelei under center, but this one still has "blowout" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 48-12 Clemson. | |||||||
10-30-20 | East Carolina v. Tulsa -17.5 | Top | 30-34 | Loss | -110 | 85 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Tulsa (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). ECU lost to Navy 27-23 two weeks ago, but did not play last week. Tulsa is rolling along, as it's 3-0 ATS. Last year the Golden Hurricane smashed the Pirates 49-24 as seven-point road favorites and I expect a similar, or even bigger blowout here at home. The Pirates are 1-3 and they average 31 points, while conceding 37.8. ECU starting QB Holton Ahlers tested positive for Covid 19 and didn't play in his team's most recent loss to Navy two weeks ago, but he may see some time here. Regardless, the QB issue for the Pirates isn't a good one at the moment, as backup Mason Garcia will likely see some time as well tonight. Tulsa averages 27.7 PPG and it allows 18.3. The Golden Hurricane are also 4-1 ATS the last five in this series. In this abbreviated season, every game counts. Look for Tulsa to put the foot on the gas until the final whistle and lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 45-15 Tulsa. | |||||||
10-30-20 | Minnesota v. Maryland +20.5 | 44-45 | Win | 100 | 83 h 10 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Maryland (8* START-UP). Minnesota lost its season opener to Michigan by a score of 49-24. Maryland also lost its opener, losing 43-3 to Northwestern. I expect a much better game from both teams, but I also look for this one to end much tighter than what this spread would suggest. Both teams struggled with consistency on both sides of the ball. Minnesota QB Tanner Morgan had 197 passing yards, one touchdown and one interception. Maryland's offense struggled as well, as Taulia Tagovailoa and Lance LeGendre combined to pass for just 143 yards. Minnesota is the better team here, but I expect it to have a fight on its hands until the final moments. Grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 35-25 Minnesota. | |||||||
10-29-20 | Falcons v. Panthers UNDER 49.5 | 25-17 | Win | 100 | 60 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Falcons/Panther UNDER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). These teams met in Week 5 and Carolina held on for the 23-16 victory. Suffice it to say, I expect a similar final combined score here as well. In that game Carolina outgained Atlanta 437 to 373. Atlanta ran the ball well against the Panthers by averaging 6.9 yards per carry. Most recently ATL lost 23-22 to the Lions last weekend, a heartbreaking setback in the final moments. The Falcons won't roll over here as they seek revenge. Note that rain in the forecast has driven this total down, but I still don't think it's low enough. This one has defensive war written all over it, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 23-21 Carolina. | |||||||
10-29-20 | South Alabama v. Georgia Southern OVER 50.5 | Top | 17-24 | Loss | -109 | 59 h 26 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: South Alabama/Georgia OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). South Alabama likes to air it out on offense, while Georgia Southern utilizes a triple-option attack. Contrasting styles collide here, but when it's all said and done I'm definitely expecting a shootout. Georgia Southern is coming off a 28-14 loss to Coastal Carolina, while South Alabama crushed Louisiana Monroe 38-14. South Alabama coach Steve Campbell utilizes a two-QB system and Desmond Trotter and Chance Lovetich have combined for 11 TD's so far. Georgia Southern QB Shai Werts has five passing touchdowns and another 333 yards rushing and a pair of scores. This one has the feel of whichever team has its hands on the ball last is going to win and in a contest like that, expect the total to fly over sooner, rather than later! T.M. Prediction: 33-27 Georgia Southern. | |||||||
10-27-20 | Rays +1.5 v. Dodgers | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -150 | 35 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rays RUN LINE (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). This has been an interesting series and I'm predicting that it'll go one more game. Tampa finished ten games ahead of the next closest competitor in the American League and I'm not convinced at all that the Dodgers are the better team in this fight. And certainly Tampa has to be liking its chances today by sending its ace to the mound in Blake Snell. Snell will face Tony Gonsolin, who may only see one inning before making way for a slew of bullpen pitchers. Note that LA is just 1-5 in its last six playoff games as a favorite in the -110 to -150 range and only 1-4 in Gonsolin's last five starts as a favorite, while Tampa is 5-0 in Snell's last five starts and 5-0 in its last five after scoring five runs or less in its previous outing. Pay the price, grab the extra 1.5 runs just in case! T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Rays. | |||||||
10-27-20 | Rays v. Dodgers UNDER 8 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 35 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UNDER 4.5 Rays/Dodgers (8* TOTAL BASE-CLEANER). For the most part this series has been dominated by these line-ups, as all but one game so far has flown over the posted total. Game 6 though I think will be a very tightly contested affair. The Dodgers' lineup has its work cut out for it today facing Blake Snell, who has a 3.45 ERA in the playoffs and who has been one of the best and most consistent AL pitchers over the last couple of seasons. I look for Snell to help in driving this total under the number over the first five innings! T.M. Prediction: 2-0 Rays. | |||||||
10-26-20 | Bears v. Rams UNDER 46 | Top | 10-24 | Win | 100 | 150 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rams/Bears UNDER (10* TOTAL ELITE OF THE ELITE). The Bears are out for their third straight win today, most recently beating Carolina 23-16. The Rams are off a 24-16 loss at San Francisco. Both teams only ask their quarterbacks to manage the game, instead relying on strong run games and elite defensive units to wear their opponents down. Chicago only averages 21.3 PPG, but makes up for it on the other end by conceding just 19.3. The Rams average 25.3 PPG and they allow only 19. Chicago has held three of its last four opponents to under 20 points. The Bears have a similar defense as San Francisco, so I look for a similar final combined score as what LA posted in its last game. This one has under written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 21-14 Chicago. | |||||||
10-26-20 | Bears +6 v. Rams | 10-24 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Bears (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). The Bears are out for their third straight win today, most recently beating Carolina 23-16. The Rams are off a 24-16 loss at San Francisco. Both teams only ask their quarterbacks to manage the game, instead relying on strong run games and elite defensive units to wear their opponents down. Chicago only averages 21.3 PPG, but makes up for it on the other end by conceding just 19.3. The Rams average 25.3 PPG and they allow only 19. Chicago has held three of its last four opponents to under 20 points. These teams are very similar and I think it'll come down to the wire. I'm grabbing the ample points! T.M. Prediction: 21-14 Chicago. | |||||||
10-26-20 | Tottenham Hotspur -186 v. Burnley | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 8 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tottenham (8* MONEY-MAKER). The Spurs enter off a 3-3 draw at home to West Ham and I think they'll be out to take out their frustrations on Burnley. Burnley's been inconsistent, especially offensively, most recently holding on for a 0-0 draw with West Bromwich Albion. Previous to that Sean Dyche's side had lost three in a row. Look for Heung-min Son to coninue his hot start, as he already has seven goals in five games. The Spurs have already dominated both their road matches this year, winning 5-2 at Southampton and 6-1 at Man U. Expect another dominant performance, as I look for Tottenham to come in razor focussed after last week's disappointing draw. Lay it! T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Tottenham. | |||||||
10-26-20 | Tottenham Hotspur v. Burnley OVER 2.5 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -130 | 8 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Burnley/Tottenham OVER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). The Spurs enter off a 3-3 draw at home to West Ham and I think they'll be out to take out their frustrations on Burnley. Burnley's been inconsistent, especially offensively, most recently holding on for a 0-0 draw with West Bromwich Albion. Previous to that Sean Dyche's side had lost three in a row. Look for Heung-min Son to coninue his hot start, as he already has seven goals in five games. The Spurs have already dominated both their road matches this year, winning 5-2 at Southampton and 6-1 at Man U. Expect another dominant performance, as I look for Tottenham to jump out to an early lead, and then keep the foot on the gas until the final whistle! T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Tottenham. | |||||||
10-25-20 | Dodgers v. Rays UNDER 8 | Top | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rays/Dodgers UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). I had a play on the Dodgers in Game 4 and while that was an unfortunate setback, I look to bounce back here in this important Game 5 matchup. It's been each team's dynamic offenses which have been in the spotlight in the early going, but I expect a classic pitchers duel here between Dodgers' ace Clayton Kershaw (who gave up only one run and had eight K's in the Game 1 victory) and the Rays' Tyler Glasnow (who gave up four runs in the Game 1 loss, but who previously was arguably the hottest starter in the playoffs up to that point.) Tampa has also seen the total go under in eight of its last 11 after scoring eight or more runs in a victory in its previous outing. This one has under written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Dodgers. | |||||||
10-25-20 | 49ers +3 v. Patriots | 33-6 | Win | 100 | 122 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: 49ers (8* CRUSHER). These two teams are suddenly moving in opposite directions and I expect that trend to continue here. Jimmy Garoppolo and the 49ers enter off an impressive win at home over the Rams, dominating defensively. No team in the NFL this year has been hit harder by the injury bug than the 49ers, but the team is deep and it's finally starting to resemble the squad which advanced the Super Bowl last season. Jared Goff entered that game as one of the most effecient QB's in the league, and San Fran completely shut him down. Now the 49ers face a very inconsistent Cam Newton, who is clearly showing signs of pressure. This one stes up great for San Fran, as New England is a poor 2-5-1 ATS in its last eight as a home favorite. Grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 24-23 San Francisco. | |||||||
10-25-20 | Bucs -2.5 v. Raiders | Top | 45-20 | Win | 100 | 122 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bucs (10* BEST OF THE BEST). I got down on this one early and have a favorable line, but regardless, I think that Tom Brady and the Bucs will handle their business on the road here and build off their impressive win at home over the Packers last weekend. Brady was great, but Tampa's defense was even better, forcing Aaron Rodgers into two interceptions and no touchdowns. Tampa's run game looks great and it catches this Las Vegas side which enters off its bye week after a huge upset on the road in Kansas City. I think the momentum off that big win is now gone and I expect the home side to come out flat here. Tampa is rolling and expect it to go up early and to keep the foot on the gas until the final whistle sounds! T.M. Prediction: 30-22 Tampa. | |||||||
10-25-20 | Panthers v. Saints OVER 51 | 24-27 | Push | 0 | 119 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Saints/Panthers OVER (9* TOP NFC SOUTH TOTAL). The Saints are coming off their bye week after a win over the Chargers in their last game. The bye week came at a good time for Drew Brees and company and I expect them to put the foot on the gas here in this important divisional contest. Carolina had won three in a row before last week's poor 23-16 setback to the Bears. Teddy Bridgewater and the home side will be out to atone for that poor effort. Carolina actually had more first downs, more rushing yards, total yards and time of possession with Chicago, but it lost the turnover battle 3-1. The totals in the five games the Saints have played in this year have been 57, 66, 67, 58 and 57. Note that the average score between these two clubs over the last ten in this series is 54.2. This number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 33-27 New Orleans. | |||||||
10-25-20 | Bills v. Jets +13.5 | 18-10 | Win | 100 | 119 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Jets (8* SHOCKER). Is Josh Allen better than Sam Darnold? He definitely plays on a much better team. That said, the Bills have come back down to Earth after their hot start, as they've lost two straight, most recently a 26-17 setback at home on Monday to the Chiefs. The Jets are off a 24-0 loss in Miami. They're 0-6 SU and ATS, but with Darnold back under center, I think New York catches the Bills at the most opportune of times. Buffalo has a "look ahead" game at home vs. the Patriots next weekend, so expect the Bills to take the foot off the gas in the second half if they do have the lead. Yes, New York is terrible, but I expect it to fight here as it desperately attempts to "get off the schneid." I'm grabbing the points. T.M. Prediction: 25-23 Buffalo. | |||||||
10-24-20 | UNLV +13.5 v. San Diego State | Top | 6-34 | Loss | -105 | 104 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UNLV (10* TRADE-MARK). SDSU lost its starting QB and RB from last year. The offense had a lot of turnover. SDSU's defense was its strength last year, but it also has a few new faces. The Aztecs are expected to do well again, but I think that UNLV will come out firing here and I like it to keep this one a lot more competitive than what this spread would suggest. Yes, the Rebels were just 4-8 last season, but they return starting QB Kenyon Oblad and several other starters on offense, which is a huge benefit. SDSU has question marks on offense and I don't think it should be laying this large number on Opening night. Grab up all these points! T.M. Prediction: 26-24 SDSU. | |||||||
10-24-20 | Cincinnati v. SMU -2.5 | 42-13 | Loss | -109 | 103 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: SMU (8* SUPER-SPIKE CLUB). Cincinnati is 3-0 and SMU is 5-0. Bearcats' QB Desmond Ridder though enters off his worst start of the season, throwing three INT's in a fortunate win over USF last time out. Shane Buechele has a QBR of 81.4 and he already has 1,710 yards passing in five games, including 12 TD's and only two INT's. SMU is 4-1 ATS in its last five at home, while Cincinnati is only 1-5 ATS in its last six after allowing less than 20 points in its previous outing. The Mustangs are averaging 42.6 PPG this year and I can't see the Bearcats keeping pace down the stretch. Lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 37-20 SMU. | |||||||
10-24-20 | Dodgers -164 v. Rays | Top | 7-8 | Loss | -164 | 12 h 3 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers (10* GAME OF MONTH). I had the Dodgers in Game 1, the Rays in Game 2 and then the Dodgers in Game 3. I like LA to once again find a way to get the job done in Game 4 as well. Jose Urias and Ryan Yarbrough are a "wash" in this contest, but LA's dynamic hitting line-up is the difference here. The Dodgers are also 4-0 in their last four interleague contest vs. clubs with winning records. The Rays are going to have to turn to their bullpen early and I can't see it holding up to this hard-hitting Dodgers line-up. Look for Urias to get the win here! T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Dodgers. | |||||||
10-24-20 | Justin Gaethje +280 v. Khabib Nurmagomedov | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 26 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Justin Gaethje (10* PLAY OF THE WEEK). If you want to know the strengths and weaknesses of each of these fighters and don't know anything about MMA whatsoever, then there's plenty of websites and information out there to get you caught up on the ins and outs and of the sport and the cast of characters. I think that if you've bought this play off me, you know how Justin Gaethje and Khabib Nurmagomedov are. These are arguably the top two fighters on the planet right now and this is a huge fight. So why is Gaetheje going to upset Nurmagomedov tonight? Gaethje has the ability to ends fight early, but he also has the stamina to go five rounds. Gaethje has fought more recently than Nurmagomedov and I think that is definitely working in his favor as well. This one has upset written all over it for the American, which will then set up a great second fight for Dana White. Great value on the hard-throwing GAETHJE! T.M. Prediction: KO/SUB/TKO/DECISION. | |||||||
10-24-20 | Nebraska v. Ohio State -26 | 17-52 | Win | 100 | 94 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ohio State (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). The Cornhuskers were 5-7 last year. Ohio State is 5-1 the last six in this series and I look for it to lay another beating in its first game of the year as it looks to send an early message. Nebraska QB Adrian Martinez regressed big time last year, finishing with ten touchdowns and only nine interceptions. Overall Nebraska averaged 28 PPG last season and it conceded 27.8. The Buckeyes averaged 46.7 PPG last sseason, as QB Justin Fields had 3,273 passing yards, 41 touchdowns and only three interceptions. Defensively the Buckeyes allowed only 12.5 PPG. Ohio State is 9-3 ATS in its last 12 as a favorite, while Nebraska is only 2-7 ATS in its last nine conference games. I can't see the Cornhuskers mounting much of an offensive attack today. Lay the points, expect a BIG blowout! T.M. Prediction: 50-17 Ohio State. | |||||||
10-23-20 | Dodgers -155 v. Rays | Top | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 37 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers (10* TRADE-MARK). I like the Dodgers to bounce back in Game 2. Walker Buehler has been fantastic for LA during the playoffs. So too has Charlie Morton for the Rays. The difference maker for me though lies in the stats/trends today, as note that the Dodgers are 7-2 in their last nine after a loss and a day off. I'm banking on LA's hitting depth to be the difference once it's all said and done. Great value on the Dodgers in Game 3! T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Dodgers. | |||||||
10-23-20 | Tulsa v. South Florida +10.5 | Top | 42-13 | Loss | -106 | 78 h 55 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: South Florida (10* CA$H-BOMB). I think we're going to see a much tighter matchup than what this spread would suggest. Tulsa had its game vs. the Bearcats postponed last weekend due to covid 19 issues and previous to that it had its bye week. After two weeks off, I think the Golden Hurricane come out a bit flat-footed to start this contest, and that in turn will help in keeping this back door open just wide enough for USF to sneak through. The Bulls won't be lacking for motivation here either after a 39-37 loss to Temple last Saturday, their fourth straight loss. Note that USF is 7-2 ATS in its last nine after scoring 35 or more points in a loss in its previous outing. A great situational play on the home side, grab as many points as you can! T.M. Prediction: 26-24 Tulsa. | |||||||
10-22-20 | Giants v. Eagles -3.5 | Top | 21-22 | Loss | -110 | 55 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Eagles (10* TRADE-MARK). Both teams have struggled this year, mainly due to untimely early injuries. The Eagles though have been much more competitive each week and after nearly pulling off the upset over the heavily favored Ravens last weekend, I look for them to lay a beating on this disastrous Giants team, which is destined for a letdown here after is 20-19 win over Washington at home last weekend. Daniel Jones has struggled for the Giants, he has just three TD's and six INT's. Carson Wentz has too for the Eagles, but that's mainly due to his injured offensive line and lack of talent. But as mentioned above, despite that the Eagles have been competitive of late and on the short week and playing a division rival at home, I like them to go up early, keep the foot on the gas and then never look back. Lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 31-20 Philadelphia. | |||||||
10-21-20 | Rays +1.5 v. Dodgers | Top | 6-4 | Win | 100 | 13 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rays RUN LINE (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). I had a play on the Dodgers on the run line in Game 1 and that provided a small plus-money return. In Game 2 though, I'm going to suggest laying this reasonable mid-sized price for the extra 1.5 runs in our back pocket. Blake Snell has arguably been the best pitcher in the AL over the last two years and he's already had to face the power hitting lineup of the Yankees all season. Snell brings veteran leadership and poise to this moment and after four straight victories, I think the Dodgers finally come back down to Earth here. Note as well that the LA is just 2-5 in its last seven after a four runs or greater victory in which it scored seven or more runs in. I'm laying the price for the 1.5 runs, but I would NOT be shocked by the straight up victory either! T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Rays. | |||||||
10-21-20 | Rays v. Dodgers UNDER 8 | 6-4 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Rays/Dodgers UNDER (9* TOTAL BEST OF BEST). Blake Snell has been one of the best pitchers in the American League over the last three years. He's faced some stiff competition, including facing the daunting New York Yankees many times. Snell isn't going to be intimidated here, note that he's 2-2 with a 3.20 ERA and 19 K's so far in this postseason. Tony Gonsonlin will get the call here for the Dodgers and while he's allowed seven runs over 6.1 innings in the playoffs, note that LA has seen the total dip under the number in 11 of its last 17 after scoring 8 or more runs in its previous outing, while also winning by four or more runs. This number is high considering the circumstances and listed information above; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Rays. | |||||||
10-20-20 | Rays v. Dodgers -1.5 | Top | 3-8 | Win | 110 | 29 h 59 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers (10* RUN-LINE GAME OF WEEK). If you're watching and wagering on this game, then you know the story lines. I don't think I need to tell you the strengths and weaknesses of each team. So if you want a "recap" of how these teams got here, or who is playing what position, or what the batting percentage or ERA of a player is, there's lots of places you can go to get that basic information. I'm here to tell you WHY the Dodgers are going to win Game 1. But, not only win it, but win it BIG time. I like Clayton Kershaw in this matchup against Tyler Glasnow. Kershaw had one hiccup in his performance last time out, but overall he's been fantastic this season and in the playoffs. I think his veteran presence will be the difference for LA and I expect it to pull away for a comfortable cover and victory in Game 1! T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Dodgers. | |||||||
10-19-20 | Cardinals v. Cowboys UNDER 55 | Top | 38-10 | Win | 100 | 175 h 53 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cards/Cowboys UNDER (10* TOTAL ELITE OF THE ELITE). The Cowboys have put up some unreal offensive numbers this year. Their defense has been terrible and Dak Prescott has had to play from behind several times this year to try and furiously make a come back. But now Prescott is injured and out for the season and Andy Dalton will be forced into the spotlight. As good as Dalton is, it's hard to imagine this Dallas offense operating at the same level moving forward. The Cowboys have been atrocious on the defensive end, so they'll be eager to try and improve in that department as well, to alleviate the pressure from Dalton. The Cards only allow 22 PPG and I think the last thing they want to do here is turn this into a "shootout." This number is high, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 27-21 Arizona. | |||||||
10-18-20 | Rams v. 49ers +3.5 | Top | 16-24 | Win | 100 | 151 h 0 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: 49ers (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). At 2-3, San Francisco is still in contention. Other than the Jets, no team has gone through as much turmoil as the 49ers have in the early going, mostly due to untimely injuries. Last week the Dolphins slapped Jimmy Garopolo by a score of 43-17. Garopolo left at half time of that blowout, but he's going to get the start here. San Francisco's strength in the early going has been its defensive play. The unit catches a break this weekend facing the Rams, who aren't an "explosive" offense, albeit a very effecient one. LA has been great defensively, conceding only 18 PPG, but I think it'll have its hands full with this determined home side on the national stage. Grab the points, expect a nail-biter! T.M. Prediction: 27-25 San Francisco. | |||||||
10-18-20 | Braves v. Dodgers -139 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 12 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers (10* TRADE-MARK). The Dodgers have all the momentum after the Game 6 victory and I believe they'll figure out a way to complete the come back after going down 3-1 to start. Ian Anderson has been incredible in the playoffs for the Braves, but I don't see him having that much of an advantage over Dodgers' projected starter Tony Gonsolin. Whoever gets the start for LA, I think the Dodgers' deep bullpen will help in delivering the goods here as well. Jansen has been great closing out games for the Dodgers as well. Sorry ATL, you had your chance and blew it! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Dodgers. | |||||||
10-18-20 | Packers v. Bucs OVER 53.5 | 10-38 | Loss | -110 | 147 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Packers/Bucs OVER (9* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). Two of the best QB's in history go head-to-head here an in my opinion, this one has "SHOOTOUT" written all over it! Green Bay and Aaron Rodgers are rested after their bye week and they average 38 PPG. The Bucs' three-game losing streak was snapped in an awkward loss to the Bears last weekend, so Tom Brady will be out to atone for that "brain fart." Tampa averages 27.8 PPG. The total has also gone over in eight of the Bucs last nine at home, while Green Bay has seen the total soar over in four of its last six on the road. Get ready for a shootout at the OK Coral on Sunday afternoon between these two veteran gun-slingers! T.M. Prediction: 31-28 Green Bay. | |||||||
10-18-20 | Bears v. Panthers -2.5 | 23-16 | Loss | -110 | 144 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Panthers (8* MONEY-MAKER). Simply put, I think the Bears are the worst 4-1 team in the league right now. The Panthers are 3-2, but they're getting exceptional play from QB Teddy Bridgewater and combined with their underrated defense, I love Carolina to pull away down the stretch here for a comfortable ATS cover. Chicago has had to fight back from several deficits to win already this season. Its strong point is on defense, allowing 20 PPG, but QB Nick Foles is ranked 29th in the league among starting QB's right now. The Panthers are playing at an elite level at this moment and I expect them to bring their "A" game again here. Overall the Panthers average 24.4 PPG and they concede 23.3. Carolina is also 5-1-1 ATS in its last seven games vs. teams with winning road records, while the Bears are just 1-6 ATS in their last seven vs teams with winning records. Expect the Bears to finally stumble here and get exposed and lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 27-18 Carolina. | |||||||
10-18-20 | Browns +4.5 v. Steelers | 7-38 | Loss | -120 | 144 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Browns (8* BEST OF BEST). This is a big divisional contest. The Browns lost in Week 1 at Baltimore, but since then they've won four straight and averaged almost 40 PPG in the process. Cleveland's weakness lies on the defensive end, but Big Ben and the Steelers would not be classified as an "explosive" offense, althogh they've been damn good this year as well. With a spread like this, the oddsmakers do in fact feel these teams are very evenly matched. And so do I. Pittsburgh may be 5-0 SU in its last five at home in this series, but it's only 2-4-1 ATS the last seven in this series overall. This one has the feel of whichever team has its hands on the ball last will come out on top. I'm grabbing the points, but don't be shocked by the outright! T.M. Prediction: 26-25 Cleveland. | |||||||
10-18-20 | Lions -3 v. Jaguars | 34-16 | Win | 100 | 144 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Lions (8* HORSE-COLLAR BLOWOUT). The Lions are off a 35-29 loss to the Saints and then had their bye-week. I think that veteran QB Matt Stafford will have a big day today vs. this weak Jacksonville secondary. The Jags come in off a 30-14 loss at Houston last weekend. Stafford has 1,017 yards, eight touchdowns and three interceptions. Gardner Minshew of Jacksonville has 1,439 passing yards, ten touchdowns and four interceptions. Note though that Detroit is 7-2 ATS in its last nine road games following a bye-week. Look for Stafford to put on a clinic in this favorable matchup; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 30-24 Detroit. | |||||||
10-17-20 | Astros +1.5 v. Rays | 2-4 | Loss | -185 | 13 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Astros +1.5 (8*). I'm not going to talk about individual player matchups here, or what happened in Game 6. If you're wagering on this game, you know the story lines and cast of characters and all of their strengths and weaknesses. "Momentum" is a very real factor in sports and especially in the playoffs. The Astros are once again rolling with confidence and while I do think they can win this one outright and advance to the World Series, I'll suggest laying the price for the extra 1.5 runs in your back pocket! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Astros. | |||||||
10-17-20 | Georgia v. Alabama OVER 57.5 | Top | 24-41 | Win | 100 | 126 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bama/Georgia OVER (10* SEC TOTAL BEST OF THE BEST). These are the top two teams in the SEC and arguably in the nation. The Bulldogs have won three straight, most recently defeating the Vols by 23, a third straight win of 20 points or more. Georgia averages 36 PPG and it allows 12.3. The Tide average 51 PPG and they allow 30.3. I look for the home side to go up early and Alabama will have to keep the foot on the gas as well. Expect these high-flying offenses to take center stage in this one and hammer the over! T.M. Prediction: 33-30 Alabama. | |||||||
10-17-20 | North Texas v. Middle Tennessee State -6.5 | 52-35 | Loss | -110 | 123 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: MTSU (8* MONEY-TRAIN). The Mean Green defense has allowed a combined 155 points over its three losses and I think it'll once again have trouble containing their opponent today. Last week North Texas allowed seven TD's to Charlotte. Austin Aune was a bright spot for the Mean Green with 385 passing yards and three TD's, but it was unable to keep up down the stretch. MTSU enters off a hard-fought 31-28 win over FIU, its first victory of the year and I expect it to keep the foot on the gas again here. North Texas has struggled inside the red zone, scoring on just 10 of 17 possessions with nine TD's. MTSU's strength on the dfensive side is against the pass, allowing just 166 passing yards per game, so that matches up well against the pass-happy Mean Green. The Blue Raiders are also 9-2 ATS in their last 11 vs. teams with losing records. I'm laying the points and expecting a complete blowout! T.M. Prediction: 43-30 MTSU. | |||||||
10-17-20 | Braves v. Dodgers -145 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers (8*). I had a play on the Dodgers on the "run line" last night and I expect the NL champs to find a way to get the job done here as well. Max Fried was good vs. LA in Game 1, although received a no-decision vs. it. Fried is 0-2 with a 4.66 ERA lifetime vs. the Dodgers. Walker Buehler has faced the Braves four times in his career and gone 2-0 with a 4.03 ERA. LA is also 7-2 in its last nine after a win by three or more runs in its previous outing. I'm banking on the more desperate team to get the job done here. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Dodgers. | |||||||
10-17-20 | Braves v. Dodgers UNDER 8 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Braves/Dodgers UNDER (8*). Walker Buehler and Max Fried were not perfect in Game 1, but the total in that contest was the only one that's gone under the number so far. After four straight overs, I do finally expect this one to fall under. Note that the Braves have seen the total drop under the number in 14 of their last 21 after a three runs or greater setback in which they allowed six or more runs in. This number is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Dodgers. | |||||||
10-17-20 | Kentucky v. Tennessee UNDER 49.5 | 34-7 | Win | 100 | 118 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kentucky/Tennessee UNDER (8* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). Kentucky beat Mississippi State 24-2 last weekend, as the Wildcats posted six interceptions. Tennessee looks to bounce back here after a 44-21 loss to Georgia. Both teams are committed to the run first on offense and each has an underrated defense. The last two meetings between the teams have gone under as well. Additionally note that Tennessee has seen the total go under in 14 of its last 22 after a 20 points or larger loss in its previous outing. T.M. Prediction: 21-14 Vols. | |||||||
10-17-20 | Auburn -3 v. South Carolina | 22-30 | Loss | -105 | 118 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Auburn (9* MONEY-MAKER). Auburn held on for a 30-28 win over Arkansas last weekend. It wasn't the Tigers best effort, but they still managed to hold on for the SU victory. With that "close call" out of the way though, I think that the Tigers will bounce back nicely here. The Tigers allow just 22.7 PPG, but so far they've averaged just 21.7. This Auburn team is looking for a big offensive break out and I like Bo Nix to take center stage here. Auburn outgained Arkansas 446 to 437 last weekend and I expect this offense to have a big day vs. South Carolina. South Carolina smashed Vanderbilt last weekend, but lost to both Tennessee and Florida. Collin Hill was decent against Vandy's weak defense, but I think he's in for a shock today vs. this elite Auburn unit. Note as well that SC is just 1-4 ATS in its last five vs. schools with winning records, while Auburn is 5-2 ATS in its last seven following an ATS loss. I'm laying the points and expecting a decisive victory! T.M. Prediction: 33-20 Auburn. | |||||||
10-16-20 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Braves | Top | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers (10* RUN-LINE BANKROLL BUILDER). With their season on the line and with the vastly superior starting pitcher on the hill for them, I like the Dodgers to find a way to win here. But not only win, win BIG! Dustin May was 3-1 with a 2.57 ERA in ten starts this year for LA. In three appearances in the playoffs, spanning 4.1 innings, May has allone just one hit. The Braves turn to their bullpen to get the job done by committee, but I think that strategy will fail. Look for the NL champs to bounce back again here with another convincing victory. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Dodgers. | |||||||
10-16-20 | SMU -6.5 v. Tulane | Top | 37-34 | Loss | -110 | 100 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: SMU (10* TRADE-MARK). Tulane is horribly inconsitent on the offensive side of the ball. At least against stiffer competition. Shane Buechele and SMU average 44 points per game and they only allow 23.3. The Green Wave have averaged 37 PPG while allowing 31. But Tulanes' freshman QB Michael Pratt made his first ever start just last weekend and now facing this elite SMU defense, I definitely expect a major step back here. The Mustangs are having to deal with major injury issues to a couple of key players, but they have a deep and talented roster and I don't see much of a drop off. Lay the points, this one has "b-l-o-w-o-u-t" written ALL over it! T.M. Prediction: 40-24 Mustangs. | |||||||
10-15-20 | Dodgers v. Braves UNDER 9 | Top | 2-10 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 23 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Braves/Dodgers UNDER (10* TOTAL BEST OF THE BEST). After two straight overs, I expect this Game 4 total to stay well under the number. Wow, 11 runs in the top of the first inning for the Dodgers in Game 3! LA wasn't fooling around! After scoring 18 runs in Game 3 though, this Game 4 matchup absolutely sets up as a lower-scoring affair. Clayton Kershaw has been great for the Dodgers in the playoffs, going 2-0 with a 1.93 ERA so far. The Braves will start with Bryse Wilson on the mound and while he posted a 1.13 ERA over eight innings in two starts in teh regular season, the Braves are fully expecting to move to their bullpen very early. Atlanta has seen the total go under in eight of its last 12 after allowing 12 or more runs in a loss to an opponent as well. This one has "duel" written all over it; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Dodgers. | |||||||
10-15-20 | Georgia State +4 v. Arkansas State | Top | 52-59 | Loss | -110 | 78 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Georgia State (10* ULTIMATE). Outright win? It's VERY possible, as note that Georgia State upset Arkansas State 52-38 as a 6.5-points underdog last year. Georgia State lost 34-31 to the Ragin Cajuns in Week 1, but on October 3rd they smashed East Carolina 49-29 as an underdog, outgaining the Pirates 485 to 286 in the process. So far the Panthers average 40 PPG and they allow 31.5. Arkansas State destroyed FCS opponent Central Arkansas 50-27 in its last game, but previous to that it dropped its lone conference game. Arkansas State is 0-3 in its last three vs. FBS opponents and its offensive attack revolves around the pass, and that doesn't matchup well vs. this Georiga State secondary which already has give interceptions in two games. I'm grabbing the points and expecting a battle until the end! T.M. Prediction: 38-35 Georgia State. | |||||||
10-15-20 | Rays v. Astros +128 | 3-4 | Win | 128 | 5 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Astros (8* MONEY-MAKER). Facing elimination, the Astros played their best game of the ALCS in Game 4 and came away with the 4-3 victory. Now I expect them to carry that momentum over here. I think these pitchers are a "wash," but note that Houston is 7-2 in its last nine following a victory of one run or more. Look for the "hungrier" team to find a way to deliver in the clutch again! T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Astros. | |||||||
10-14-20 | Coastal Carolina v. UL-Lafayette UNDER 58.5 | Top | 30-27 | Win | 100 | 54 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: ULL/Coastal Carolina UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). CC is 3-0. The Chanticleers are averaging 44.3 PPG in the early going, but that's due to the competition they've faced. Last year Louisiana won this matchup 48-7, but note that CC brought back many on the defensive side as well from last year's team and so far the unit is allowing only 22.3 PPG. The Ragin Cajuns are also 3-0, but they've had an extra week off to prepare for this one due to covid issues last weekend. Louisiana though has allowed just 21 PPG in the early going. Look for these underrated defensive units to take center stage on Wednesday night! T.M. Prediction: 27-20 ULL. | |||||||
10-14-20 | New England -109 v. Montreal | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 53 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New England Revolution (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). The Revs sit five-points ahead of the Impact in the East. New England comes in with a ton of momentum after breaking New Yorks's three-game win streak. Bruce Arena’s side has fallen just once out of its last six trips to the pitch. Montreal had its two game win streak snapped last time out by Philadelphia and I think it'll have its hands full here as well. Montreal is struggling with consistency and I like the in form Revs to take advantage. Great price as well! T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Revolution. | |||||||
10-14-20 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Braves | Top | 15-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 29 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers RUN LINE (10* BEST OF THE BEST). Enough is enough! The Dodgers haven't lost three games in a row all year and I don't expect that to happen here. Kyle Wright has been great in the playoffs so far, but so too has Julio Urias for the Dodgers. These starting pitchers are even, although Urias has more experience at this level and that does definitely work in favor of LA here. LA was down big and rallied to pull close, but it eventually fell 8-7 in Game 2. Look for the Dodgers to finally get back on track here and lay the price! T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Dodgers. | |||||||
10-13-20 | Rays v. Astros +1.5 | 5-2 | Loss | -159 | 12 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Astros RUN LINE (8* MONEY-MAKER). The Astros enter desperate, eager to avoid an 0-3 hole. Houston came into this series as one of the hotting hitting line-ups, but the southpaws of the Rays have so far been up to the task. I think these starting pitchers are very evenly matched. Ryan Yarbrough and Jose Urquidy are going to go deep in this one, but note that the Astros are 8-1 in their last nine playoff games as an underdog, while the Rays are only 2-4 in their last six after a five-games or longer unbeaten streak. Look for ATL to finally drop a playoff game here. The play is the Astros on the run line! T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Astros. | |||||||
10-13-20 | Bills -3.5 v. Titans | Top | 16-42 | Loss | -109 | 30 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Buffalo (10* THROWDOWN). The Titans are 3-0, but they've had to deal with plenty of off-field issues over the last three weeks and I think the team will come out flat here. The Bills are 4-0 and while their defense has taken a bit of a step back here from last season, the offense behind Josh Allen has exploded, having scored at least 30 points in three straight games. The Titans playbook isn't vast, so look for Tennessee to pound the ball with Derrick Henry. However, as stated above, the weird covid scheduling is going to throw a monkey-wrench into the Titans chemistry in my opinion. Also note that Buffalo is 7-2 ATS in its last nine after three or more SU victories in a row. I'm laying the points and expecting a comfortable SU/ATS victory. T.M. Prediction: 30-23 Buffalo. | |||||||
10-13-20 | Braves v. Dodgers UNDER 8 | Top | 8-7 | Loss | -111 | 9 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Braves/Dodgers UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). The reason I like the under here? Simple, the starting pitchers. I look for these two studs to battle deep and ultimately I expect that will help in driving this total well under the number once it's all said and done. Ian Anderson was 3-2 with a 1.95 ERA in six starts in the regular season for the Braves and he has so far pitched 11.2 scoreless innings in the playoffs. The Braves' bullpen has given up just one run over 23.1 innings and posted a 0.39 ERA in the process. Dodgers' starter Tony Gonsolin made ten regular season starts and posted a 2.31 ERA and 0.84 WHIP along with 46K's to just seven walks over 46 2/3's innings of work. This one has under written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Dodgers. | |||||||
10-12-20 | Chargers +7 v. Saints | Top | 27-30 | Win | 100 | 24 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Chargers (10* BLOWOUT BEST OF THE BEST). The Saints had to come from behind in their 35-29 road win in Detroit. New Orleans is allowing an average of 30.8 PPG, while LA is conceding only 23.8. Brees has several receivers banged up, including top WR Michael Thomas. Justin Herbert was great in defeat last weekend, throwing for 300 yards and three TD's. The Saints are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven at home, while the Chargers are 3-0-1 ATS in their last four on the road. I think the Saints issues on the defensive end continue and now their offense has taken a hit as well. Outright is possible, but in the end grab as many points as you can! T.M. Prediction: 26-24 Saints. | |||||||
10-12-20 | Braves +1.5 v. Dodgers | Top | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 11 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Braves RUN LINE (8* MONEY-MAKER). Honestly, it wouldn't be difficult to write a convincing argument for either team. The Dodgers have met all expectations to this point and anything short of a World Series will be a major disappointment. The Braves have also met expectations, as they enter as the No. 2 team in the NL. Both starters are sharp tonight and enter in good form. Both teams have awesome bullpens and strong and experienced hitting line-ups. This really is one of those series where it's an "any given Sunday" type of thing. Either team could easily win, they just have to step up here and do it. In Game 1 though I think these starters will take center stage and battle deep and in a contest like that, I think the value swings to the dog. Just in case though, I'm going to lay the price for the extra insurance. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Braves. | |||||||
10-12-20 | Astros +1.5 v. Rays | Top | 2-4 | Loss | -160 | 7 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Houston RUN-LINE (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). The Astros uncharacteristically made base running mistakes yesterday and they also left ten men on base. Houston struggled against the lefty Snell, but now it faces the right Morton. Morton has been terrible vs. Houston throughout his career (4-6, 6.28 ERA lifetime), while Lance McCullers Jr. has been decent against the Rays (1-2, 3.79). Houston has the experience to bounce back here and I think it has a legitimate shot at taking this one outright. However, let's lay the price for the 1.5 runs! T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Astros. | |||||||
10-11-20 | Vikings v. Seahawks -7 | Top | 26-27 | Loss | -105 | 106 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hawks (10* GAME OF THE MONTH). Seattle won 31-23 in Miami last weekend and I like it keep the foot on the gas in Week 5 at home. The Vikes have been poor this year and they are primed for a letdown after their 31-23 win at Houston, their first victory of the season. I don't trust Kirk Cousins of Dalvin Cook in this difficult road venue. Hawks' QB Russell Wilson has 16 touchdowns and just two interceptions and his offense is firing on all cylinders right now. It's also interesting to note that the Hawks are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine games played in Week 5, while the Vikes are only 1-5 ATS their last six in this series. I'm laying the points and expecting a blowout! T.M. Prediction: 37-20 Seattle. | |||||||
10-11-20 | Lakers v. Heat OVER 214.5 | Top | 106-93 | Loss | -108 | 12 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Heat/Lakers OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). The Heat want to slow this game down and spread the Lakers out. LeBron James though would love to see this one turned into a higher-scoring affair. Note that the over has now hit in six of Miami's last nine and in ten of its 15 games played in October. Expect the injutry to Lakers big man Anthony Davis to effect him more on the defensive end, than on the offensive. This Game 6 screams "shootout!" T.M. Prediction: 116-110 Lakers. | |||||||
10-11-20 | Astros +136 v. Rays | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 3 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Astros (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). The bottom line on this one is I think that the Astros' Framber Valdez will be able to match the Rays' Blake Snell inning for inning to open Game 1. Houston has been the better team offensively and I think that's going to matter in Game 1. Note as well that the Astros are 8-0 in their last eight as an underdog and 42-10 in their last 52 following an off day. I love getting the "plus money" here on this undervalued underdog! T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Astros. | |||||||
10-11-20 | Colts v. Browns +2.5 | 23-32 | Win | 100 | 103 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Browns (8* CRU$H-JOB). Both teams come in red hot. The Colts are only allowing 14 PPG this year, while the Browns have averaged 39.5 PPG over their last three. Cleveland has had issues defensively, but I think that unit has a big opportunity to make some strides facing Philip Rivers and this "vanilla" Colts offense. I love the Browns at home here as I think the chemistry that QB Baker Mayfield has now developed is real and I expect him to build upon it. The Colts are going to be in trouble here facing this dangerous run game as well. This one has "blowout" written all over it, the play is the Browns! T.M. Prediction: 27-20 Cleveland. | |||||||
10-11-20 | Dolphins +8.5 v. 49ers | 43-17 | Win | 100 | 102 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dolphins (8* SUPER-SHOCKER). Honestly, I think that Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Dolphins have a legitimate shot at winning this one outright. The 49ers are coming off a 25-20 home loss to the lowly Eagles as 5-point favorites. The 49ers are without starting QB Jimmy Garapolo and many other starters on both sides of the ball. San Fran will have to contend with a decent Miami defense as well, which is ranked 14th overall. I can't see San Fran running up this score if it has the lead in the second half, so that definitely favors Miami with this huge spread, which will be keeping the foot on the gas from start to finish. Grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 24-23 Miami. | |||||||
10-11-20 | Raiders +13.5 v. Chiefs | 40-32 | Win | 100 | 99 h 10 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Raiders (8* MONEY-MAKER). Am I calling for an outright win here? Of course not. However, clearly the Raiders are the "hungrier" team here. Las Vegas comes to KC having lost two straight. The Chiefs are 4-0, but with a game at Buffalo on Thursday night, this definitely sets up as a classic "look ahead" spot for the Chiefs. I can't see KC running up this score in the second half if it has a lead and that leaves the back door WIDE open for David Carr and company to comfortably sneak in through down the stretch. This is a great situational play on the Raiders! T.M. Prediction: 30-26 Kansas City. | |||||||
10-11-20 | Jaguars v. Texans -6 | 14-30 | Win | 100 | 99 h 9 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Texans (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). Houston is off to a poor 0-4 start, but it's played four tough teams in the Chiefs, Ravens, Steelers and Vikings. These are four of the best defensive units in the league. There's plenty of talent on Houston, with DeShaun Watson and David Johnson on offense and JJ Watt on defense. The Jaguars are 0-3 in their last three and their defense is terrible. This is the perfect opponent to get untracked against and I like Watson to run up this score until the final whistle. Lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 34-20 Houston. |
