01-14-22 | Davidson v. Richmond OVER 143 | Top | 87-84 | Win | 100 | 16 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Davidson/Richmond OVER. I am on the over in the Davidson vs Richmond game on Friday. Davidson has won 12 games in a row and they have put up 70+ points in all of those games. Their 2 losses this year were the only games that they didn't put up 70+ points in but those 2 losses were right at the beginning of the year and they have been scoring a ton ever since they went on their huge run. They have been stringing a lot of wins together lately but they haven't been getting those wins by playing good defense and I think this is going to be another game where they focus on their offense and try to outscore Richmond on the road here. Davidson has given up 65+ points in 3 games in a row and all of those games were in conference play. Their defense has been a lot worse on the road though and I think that is going to continue here. They have won all 3 of their road games this year but they have given up 69+ in all of those games, giving up 73+ points in their 2 most recent road games. I don't think Richmond is going to get pushed over by them though and I expect them to put up a fight here since they have the extra motivation of being the team that can end Davidson's long win streak. Richmond is also at home here where they have played much better this year and they just won their most recent game at home while putting up 80 points. That was their 1st win in conference play this year and now that they have the taste of winning in their mouths again, I expect a good performance from them on their home court. I think Davidson is going to focus on shooting and scoring in this game and I think it is going to leave plenty of opportunity for Richmond to keep up and even take the lead. These teams are going to be chasing each other all night with their shooting so I like the over in this game. T.M. Selection: 81-78 Richmond. | |||||||
01-13-22 | Jets -120 v. Red Wings | Top | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 8 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Winnipeg Jets. I like the Winnipeg Jets to win this game against the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday. The Jets were looking great lately winning 3 games in a row but then they ran into a buzzsaw Avalanche team in their most recent game who destroyed them 7-1. The Avalanche are a very good team and it is tough to go into Colorado and beat them on their home ice. The Jets were playing very well up to that game and they just ran into a team that is a lot better than they are. I think they are due for a bounce back here and I expect them to be hungry after that embarrassment on the ice the other night. I think the Jets are going to show some pride in this game and make up for that brutal 7-1 loss with a much better performance here. The Red Wings haven't looked great lately losing 3 games in a row and 5 of their previous 6. They just played a 3 game road trip in California where they got destroyed by the Kings 4-0 and then lost in 2 close games to the Ducks and the Sharks, losing 1 game in a shootout and the other in OT. This is their 1st game back from that and I expect the Red Wings to be sluggish from the travel and the time change. The Jets are going tpo be hungry for a win here and I think they are the much better team anyway. I expect the jets to get back on track in this game against the red Wings who have been slumping lately. I like the Jets to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Jets. | |||||||
01-11-22 | Warriors -1.5 v. Grizzlies | Top | 108-116 | Loss | -120 | 15 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Memphis Grizzlies in this game on Tuesday. The Warriors just ended a run where they had lost 2 games in a row with a win over the Cavs in their most recent game. They beat the Cavs by 14 points in that game and that game also saw the return of Klay Thompson to the Warriors lineup. Klay eased his way back in after missing so much time but still managed to put up 17 points in his season debut. The warriors have already looked great this year without him, now with both Klay and Steph back in their lineup, I think this is going to be a very tough team to stop. The Grizzlies have also looked really good in their games lately and they have been having a much better year than expected from them. The Grizzlies have won 9 games in a row but I think this is where that is going to come to an end. They have started to run out of gas in their games lately and they have lost a few players to injury too. They will be without Dillon Brooks in this game and I think that is going to be a big loss for them in this game. They were missing him in their previous game but they were playing the Lakers who haven't really been great this year and were still missing Anthony Davis too. They are also going to be missing Steven Adams in this game and I think that is going to be a huge loss of presence underneath the net. They have been able to get by with Jaren Jackson in his place but I think the Warriors are too strong a team for that to work here and I think the Grizzlies are going to be left vulnerable on the defensive end. Now that Klay has been back for a game he will only be better in each game going forward as he gets into his groove again and starts to gel with his teammates more. I like the Warriors to cover the spread here and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 114-104 Warriors. | |||||||
01-10-22 | Georgia v. Alabama OVER 52 | Top | 33-18 | Loss | -101 | 158 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Alabama/Georgia OVER. I am on the over in the Alabama vs Georgia National Championship game on Monday. Alabama has looked great on offense all year and they have been putting up a ton of points in a lot of their games. They have scored 40+ points in 3 of their previous 5 games, still putting up 20+ points in all of those games. They just played Georgia a few weeks ago in the SEC title game and put up 41 points on them but they also gave up 24 points to Georgia in that game and their defense has been something that has been shaky at times all year. In their games before the 1 against Georgia, they even let Auburn score 22 points on them and they let Arkansas put up 35. I think Alabama is going to be able to score on that Georgia defense in this game since they have already done so not that long ago and I don't think Georgia is going to have a good enough game plan to stop them either. Alabama still looked really good on offense in their game against Cincinnati in the Cotton Bowl putting up 27 points in that game. Georgia also got their offense moving in their most recent game against Michigan in the Orange Bowl and they were able to put up 34 points on a Michigan defense that is really good ranked 4th in the country. Georgia has scored 30+ points in 12 of their previous 13 games with the 1 game that they didn't being the 1 against Alabama a few weeks ago but they still put up 24 points in that game and I think they will be able to put up more points on them here after seeing their defense in that game and planning around it now. Their last meeting went over the posted total and I expect nothing less from this game either. I think both teams are going to score a lot so I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 38-31 Georgia. | |||||||
01-09-22 | Titans v. Texans +11 | Top | 28-25 | Win | 100 | 127 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Houston Texans. I like the Houston Texans to cover the spread against the Tennessee Titans in this game on Sunday. The Texans have looked a lot better in their games lately as their year is coming to an end. They have won 2 of their previous 3 games and they even beat the LA Chargers in 1 of those games who have a good chance of going to the playoffs this year. Davis Mills has looked much better in these final few games for them and he has been able to move the ball well and score some points too. He played very well in that game against the Chargers as his team put up 41 points in that game and he didn't even throw an interception. The Texans have nothing left to play for as they have already been eliminated from making the playoffs but they still have a lot to play for here in regards to next year. Davis Mills wants to prove that he can be a starting QB in this league so I expect him to play well here and try to earn himself a spot on the team next year, or any team that really wants him as a starter. The Titans have already clinched their division this year so they really have no need to win this game except for the number 1 seed in the AFC. I think the Titans are going to rest some of their starting players in this game though so they don't risk any injuries going into the playoffs. They have already lost their star RB Derrick Henry this year but they are getting him back for the playoffs supposedly so it would be in their best interest to rest their starters in this game and keep everyone as healthy as can be for the games that really matter. The Titans will still be trying to win this game but I don't think they will try to win by a lot here with this being the last regular season game and even if they do acquire a big lead in this game I think they will pull a lot of their players and leave the backdoor open for a cover in the worst possible scenario for the Texans. The Texans already beat the Titans earlier in the year and that game was in Tennessee so I expect them to play much better at home here and put up a good fight to try and win again. I like the Texans to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 21-17 Titans. | |||||||
01-08-22 | Sharks v. Flyers +111 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Flyers. I like the Philadelphia Flyers to win this game against the San Jose Sharks on Saturday. The Flyers have lost 4 games in a row now and I think this is the perfect spot for them to break their bad run. They have been thrashed in 3 games in a row, losing by 3+ goals in all of those games but I expect them to respond with a much better performance in this game. This is a big revenge game for the Flyers since they lost in OT to the Sharks just over a week ago and that loss was the 1st loss that started the losing streak they are on now. They were in San Jose for that game but I think they are going to get up for this game and get their revenge here at home. The Sharks have not looked great this year, they started the year off playing great but they have regressed lately and near the bottom of the division where they should be. They are coming off a tight win over the Sabres in their most recent game but they had lost their 2 games before that one and they did not look good in those games. They lost 6-2 to the Red Wings who are not a good team and they lost 8-5 to the Penguins who aren't a bad team but they should not be giving up 8 goals in a single game. Even in their game before beating the Flyers just over a week ago, the Sharks had to take the Coyotes, who are the worst team in the league, to a shootout just to win and they won that game 8-7 which means they gave up 7 goals to a terrible Coyotes team. The Sharks have looked terrible on defense and with their goalkeeping and I think the Flyers will be able to break out of their scoring drought on them. I expect the Flyers to be extra motivated to get their revenge here and break their run of losses. I like the Flyers to bounce back after a few bad losses and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Flyers. | |||||||
01-05-22 | Texas Tech v. Iowa State -2.5 | Top | 47-51 | Win | 100 | 15 h 21 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Iowa State. I like Iowa State to cover the spread against Texas Tech in this game on Wednesday. Iowa State has been having a great year, they won 12 games in a row to start the year off but lost their most recent game to Baylor. Baylor is ranked 1st in the country so that is not a bad loss but they only lost that game by 5 points at home and they have to be steamed about coming so close there. I think they are going to be hungry to bounce back in their next game and they will need to win since that loss started off their conference play at 0-1. They are at home again and I think Iowa State is going to step up here and get that conference win to get back to their winning ways. Before that loss to Baylor, Iowa State had won 4 games in a row by 10+ points and they had won all of their home games this year by 10+ points except for 1 game that they won by 8 points. They look great when they are on their home court and I think they are going to cover the spread here after playing very well against Baylor and almost ending their undefeated run. Texas Tech has looked good in their games lately but they have not been playing any strong teams really. They have only played in 1 road game this year and they lost to Gonzaga by 14 who has shown some cracks this year already. Texas Tech lost their only true road game played this year and now they get to be on the road again for their 1st game of conference play and Iowa State is not an easy team to play their 1st conference game against. I think Iowa State is the better team here and they are going to be upset over their loss to Baylor. I think Iowa State will bounce back in this game and cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 77-70 Iowa State. | |||||||
01-04-22 | LSU v. Kansas State OVER 47.5 | Top | 20-42 | Win | 100 | 39 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LSU/Kansas State OVER. I am on the over in the LSU vs Kansas State game on Tuesday. LSU had a very up and down year but they managed to finish 6-6 to just sneak their way into this bowl game. They looked pretty good in their final 2 games, winning both of them to get to this game and putting up 27 points in both of them. There has been times this year that their offense has looked really good though and they have put up 40+ points in a few games this year. Their defense has also looked bad in a lot of games though and they have given up 40+ points in a few games this year too. Kansas State lost their 2 most recent games to finish the year but they did not need to win those games to get here as they had 7 wins already before those 2 losses. They had to face 2 tough teams in those games but in their 3 games before that where they played teams with defenses that weren't that great, just like the LSU defense, they were able to put up 30+ points in all 3 of those games. I think Kansas State will be able to put up a ton of points on LSU here since their offense has looked great in a lot of games this year and LSU has looked shaky on defense in a lot of games. LSU gave up 24 points to Texas A&M in their final game of the regular season but I think Kansas State will be able to score more here. I also think LSU will be trying hard to win this game and put up points since they tried so hard to win those last 2 games and get here. The total is not very high in this game and I think both teams can easily put up 20+ points in this game and shoot over that total. i like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 34-31 Kansas State. | |||||||
01-04-22 | Pacers v. Knicks -1.5 | Top | 94-104 | Win | 100 | 14 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Knicks. I like the New York Knicks to cover the spread against the Indiana Pacers in this game on Tuesday. The Knicks have lost 2 games in a row now and they have not looked good in those games, losing to 2 of the worst teams in the league. I think they are going to embarrassed after those 2 losses and they are going to bounce back in this home game. The Knicks did not look good in their most recent loss to the Raptors but they were playing great defense in their games before that 1, not giving up 100+ points in 3 games in a row. They just got back from a 4 game road trip but I expect them to play much better defense now that they are back on their home court. The Pacers haven't looked any better than the Knicks have in their games lately, the Pacers have actually looked worse than the Knicks lately. The Pacers have lost 4 games in a row now and 2 of those losses were at home where they are a much better team. I don't think the Pacers are going to play well on the here since they haven't looked good in general lately and they have only won 3/17 road games this year. They have also been playing worse on defense than the Knicks have been. The Pacers have given up 100+ points to the opposing team in 9 games in a row and I don't think anything is going to change in this game. I think the Knicks are going to play well on their home court and I expect the Pacers to struggle on the road again while the Knicks shut them down with their defense. I like the Knicks to cover the spread here and get a much needed bounce back win here at home. T.M. Prediction: 107-97 Knicks. | |||||||
01-02-22 | Lions +7.5 v. Seahawks | Top | 29-51 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Detroit Lions. I like the Detroit Lions to cover the spread against the Seattle Seahawks in this game on Sunday. The Lions have started to look a lot better in their games lately and I think that they are going to come to play another good game here. They have 2 wins in their previous 4 games but they have come really close in a lot of games all year and their record could be very different if a few different things went their way instead. They lost their most recent game to the Falcons by 4 points but they were missing a lot of players in that game. They will be getting some of their players back here but their QB will likely be Tim Boyle in this game. Boyle didn't look terrible in their previous game and they had a chance to beat the Falcons that entire game. The Seahawks have not been any better this year with a losing record and a very bad defense. The Seahawks have lost 2 games in a row and their offense just hasn't looked good as they have struggled to score points all year. The Seahawks also have 1 of the worst defenses in the league and they give up a lot of yards to opposing teams so I think Tim Boyle will be able to move the ball on them with ease now that he has played some games as a starter too. I think the Lions are going to try and finish their year strong and get a few wins to build on for next year. The Seahawks haven't been great this year and I think the Lions have the heart to keep this a close game. I like the Lions to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 24-20 Seahawks. | |||||||
12-29-21 | Oilers v. Blues OVER 6.5 | Top | 2-4 | Loss | -116 | 11 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oilers/Blues OVER (10* TOTAL OF WEEK). This is obviously a very high number, but not nearly high enough in my estmation. The Oilers average 3.41 GPG, which is 6th in the league, but the problem for them has been on the defensive side, where they concede a poor 3.10 GPG, which is ranked 21st. St. Louis averages 3.35 GPG, which is ranked seventh, and it allows 2.68 GPG which is ranked tenth. Both have been superb on the power play though, as St. Louis converts on 29.5 percent of it chances (3rd), while Edmonton converts on 31.9 percent of its (ranked 1st.) Loo for these two teams to push the pace and for this total to eclipse the posted number easily! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-29-21 | Hawks v. Bulls OVER 221.5 | Top | 117-131 | Win | 100 | 10 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bulls/Hawks OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Chicago averages 110.1 points per game. It's coming off a 130-118 win at Atlanta just two nights ago. Atlanta averages 110.1 PPG as well. The Hawks however have seen the total fly 'over' the number in 7 of their last 10 in trying to revenge a loss against an opponent in which it conceded 130 or more points in. These two teams just played to an extremely high-scoring affair and I don't predict that the shift in venue will have any effect on their pace tonight. With the Hawks out for revenge, everything points to this one eclipsing the posted number as the game comes down the stretch! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-29-21 | LSU v. Auburn -4 | Top | 55-70 | Win | 100 | 9 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: AUBURN (10* GAME OF WEEK). LSU has a big target on its back with a 12-0 record. The Tigers are off a relatively simple 95-60 win over Lipscomb last time out. The Tigers average 79.6 PPG, while allowing only 54.1. Auburn is 11-1. It's 6-0 at home. It averages 81.1 PPG, while conceding 64.9. Three players average double figures for LSU. Three players average double figures for the home side as well. LSU has been fantastic, but it faces its toughest test of the year at Auburn. I say that home court advantage is the difference-maker! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-29-21 | Iowa State v. Clemson -2 | Top | 13-20 | Win | 100 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Clemson (10* MONEY-MAKER). Clemson is going for its sixth straight win today. The Tigers are coming off a 30-0 win over South Carolina, whil the Cyclones enter off a 48-14 win over TCU. The Tigers won seven of their last eight games after a slow start to the year. The Tigers average 26.8 PPG, while allowing 16.1. DJ Uiagalelei has 2,059 passing yards, nine TD's and nine INT's. Iowa State averages 34.4 PPG, while allowing 21.5. QB Brock Purdy has 2,984 passing yards, 18 TD's and seven INT's. RB Breece Hall has 1,472 ruishing yards and 20 TD's, along with 953 receiving yards and five TD's. The only problem for Iowa State here though is that Hall has already left for the NFL draft. That's a HUGE problem for Iowa State facing this elite level Tigers' defense. That's the difference-maker today for me guys. Lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-28-21 | Bucks v. Magic +13 | Top | 127-110 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Magic (10*). The Magic aren't likely to win this one outright. Milwaukee is a huge favorite here. It finished the first half with 3 straight W's before X-Mas. That included a 117-113 victory at home over Boston in its most recent. This is an interesting stretch though for the Bucks, who play again here two nights from now, followed by games against New Orleans, the Pistons and the Raptors. All of those teams are horrible. I think the Bucks come out flat here after the X-Mas break and that's going to be the opportunity that we can take advantage of here. The Magic play with revenge after a 123-92 loss to the Bucks as 13.5-point dogs on November 22nd, and they're 7-1 ATS in their last 8 after a SU/ATS loss in which they were held to 95 points or less in. Look for Orlando to make this one "interesting!" T.M. Prediction: 110-105 Milwaukee. | |||||||
12-28-21 | Canadiens +1.5 v. Lightning | Top | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 0 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Habs puckline (10* GAME OF WEEK). Are the Lightning the better team in this matchup? They are for sure. Will the Montreal Canadiens roll over? They certainly won't. It's a rematch of last year's Finals and I think this game will be decided late, or even in extra time. Tampa won its final three games before the break, but with a contest at rival Florida up next on Thursday, this sets up as a classic "look-ahead" spot. Montreal on the other hand broke a 7-game slide before Christmas by beating Philadelphia 3-2 in a shootout. The Habs won't be in the playoffs, but they'll be out to make adjustments in the 2nd half of the season. Expect that to happen tonight. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Montreal. | |||||||
12-26-21 | Lions +7 v. Falcons | Top | 16-20 | Win | 100 | 6 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Detroit Lions. I like the Detroit Lions to cover the spread against the Atlanta Falcons in this game on Sunday. The Lions have been having a very rough season this year being the only winless team through 10 games but now they have 2 wins under their belt and they have looked a lot better in their games lately than at the beginning of the year. The Lions have started to pick up some steam lately with their 2 wins on the year coming in their previous 3 games. Their most recent game was a big win against the Cardinals 30-12 and they looked really good in that game. I think that the Lions can continue that play into this game and they have been bringing the same heart and passion into every game this year already so this team has the fire inside them to win a bunch of games and end their year on a good note. The Falcons are not a good team and they haven't been having a great year either. The Falcons have actually lost 2 of their previous 3 games including their most recent game where they were slaughtered by the 49ers 31-13. The Falcons have lost a few players throughout the year and they know that their playoff hopes have been shot already. The Falcons are just trying to limp to the finish line in these last 3 games but the Lions are the complete opposite. After that terrible start, the Lions are finally looking like a competitive team and I think that their players and their coaches want to win out their year so they have some good building blocks to build on come next year. The Lions have been heating up lately and they have the momentum on their side here. I like the Lions to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 23-14 Lions. | |||||||
12-25-21 | Nets v. Lakers -1.5 | Top | 122-115 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Lakers. I like the LA Lakers to cover the spread against the Brooklyn Nets in this game on Saturday. The Lakers haven't looked great in their games lately losing 4 games in a row. They will be missing a few players here because of injury and covid but they will still have LeBron James playing in this game and I expect him to carry his team here and lift them to a much needed win to end their bad run of losing that they have been on. Luckily, the Nets are going to missing quite a few starters in this game for the same reasons including Kevin Durant, LaMarcus Aldridge, and a bunch of their other support and bench players. I think that they are going to miss these players a lot in this game and they are not going to play as well in this game. James Harden will still be in this game but I don't think he is enough to carry the Nets here, he was already left alone in a game a little over a week ago against the Rockets and they lost that game with him in but Durant out. I think Durant is the heart of the Nets and without him in the lineup they are not going to be able to win this game. LeBron is getting up there in age but he is used to putting his team on his back and has done it many times throughout his career. I think with this being the Christmas Day game against a weakened Nets team and the Lakers in dire need of a win, LeBron should be putting the tam on his back here and I think with the current players in place, the Lakers are going to win this game. I like the Lakers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 111-104 Lakers. | |||||||
12-25-21 | Browns v. Packers -7 | Top | 22-24 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 4 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Green Bay Packers. I like the Green Bay Packers to cover the spread against the Cleveland Browns in this game on Saturday. The Packers have looked great all year and they have been gaining steam in their games lately. They just keep winning games and they now possess the number 1 seed in the NFC with the best record. Their offense has looked great and has been putting up 30+ points in 4 games in a row. Their previous game was a win by 1 point over the Ravens but they had won 2 games in a row before that one by 10+ points. The Browns have been dealing with some covid issues lately and they barely had a team to put out against the Raiders last week. They should be getting some starters back here including their QB but Mayfield has been dealing with some other injuries too and he is not even 100% for this game. Their offense has looked really bad lately even with Mayfield playing in the game, they have only scored 20+ points in 1 of their previous 5 games. I think that the Packers have been playing much better lately and Aaron Rodgers is having another great year and is in the conversation for MVP. Rodgers is playing great and I think he will be able to lead his offense well here and pull away against the Browns who have been struggling to win games for weeks now. I think it is going to be tough for the Browns to stop Rodgers here so I like the Packers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 35-20 Packers. | |||||||
12-23-21 | Pelicans -5.5 v. Magic | Top | 110-104 | Win | 100 | 10 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New Orleans Pelicans. I like the New Orleans Pelicans to cover the spread against the Orlando Magic in this game on Thursday. The Pelicans have looked good in their games lately winning 3 in a row. The Pelicans are still 1 of the worst teams in the league but they have 4 more wins than the Magic have and the Pelicans have started to gain some steam in their previous games. They have been playing a lot better lately and they have won a majority of their games this year in their L10. They just beat the Trail Blazers in their most recent game by 14 points and that was on a night that Lillard was 1 point short of 40 in that game. The Magic have looked terrible this year and they have been having an even worse year than the Pelicans have. The Magic have won 2 games in a row but their wins were not that impressive. They beat a Hawks team that was missing Trae Young in their most recent game and in the 1 before that they beat a Nets team that was missing both Durant and Harden. They had lost 7 games in a row before winning those 2. The Pelicans have been having a bad year too so they will not be looking at the Magic like a good opportunity to rest some of their stars, they will be looking at it like a great opportunity to win another game. I expect the Pelicans to come out and play well in this game. The Pelicans are also a lot healthier than the Magic are since the Magic have a bunch of players on the covid list. I think that even if they get some of their players back, there is no team that they can put together to play well enough to keep this game close. I like the Pelicans to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 117-92 Pelicans. | |||||||
12-21-21 | Georgia State v. Georgia Tech -5 | Top | 62-72 | Win | 100 | 16 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Georgia Tech. I like Georgia Tech to cover the spread against Georgia State in this game on Tuesday. Georgia Tech had a great start to their year with a 5-1 record in their 1st 6 games but they have fallen into a slump lately losing 4 games in a row. I think this is a great game for them to bounce back, they are getting a team at home that they are much better than and this is a state rivalry game so i expect the Georgia Tech players to get up for this game. Georgia Tech has lost 4 games in a row but they have had a very tough schedule during that time facing 3 ranked teams and 1 team that wasn't ranked but is very good at 6-2 this year. Before that losing skid, they had won all but 1 of their wins by 9+ points and looked really good playing on their home court. Georgia State has not looked that great in their games lately, they have had alternating wins and losses over their previous 4 games and they only have those 2 wins in their previous 5 games. They have played a much weaker schedule than Georgia Tech has too so their wins haven't even been that impressive. They have really struggled in their games against better teams though, including some 10+ point losses against teams like Mississippi State, Rhode Island, and Richmond. I think Georgia Tech is a much better team than Georgia State is and I think Tech is going to be very happy in this game with a nice chance to end their losing skid. I expect them to play well in this game and pull away in it early sustaining their lead the whole game. I like Georgia Tech to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 77-56 Georgia Tech. | |||||||
12-19-21 | Cowboys -10.5 v. Giants | Top | 21-6 | Win | 100 | 26 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Cowboys. I like the Dallas Cowboys to cover the spread against the New York Giants in this game on Sunday. The Cowboys have been dealing with their own covid situation lately but they have still been winning games with a weaker team and now they have been getting healthier each week and should have most of their weapons on the offensive side back in this game. They have won their previous 2 games by 7+ points but they were blowing teams out weeks ago when they were playing very well and I expect that to start getting back to that as they start their playoff run while getting a lot of starters back. The Giants have looked terrible on offense in their games lately. They have scored 20+ points in just 1 of their previous 3 games but they haven't really done anything great since firing their OC Jason Garrett a few weeks ago. Obviously that was not the issue with this offense and I think they are going to continue to struggle in this game with Mike Glennon as their QB. Glennon has a losing record as a starter in the NFL. I think this is a get right spot for the Cowboys here, they can pretty much wrap up their division with a win here and I expect them to dominate the Giants for 60 minutes here. I like the Cowboys to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 35-13 Cowboys. | |||||||
12-18-21 | Oregon State v. Utah State +7.5 | Top | 13-24 | Win | 100 | 30 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Utah State. I like Utah State to cover the spread against Oregon State in this game on Saturday. Utah State is getting around 7 points in this game and they finished the year off with a much better record than Oregon State did at 10-3 and they are a conference champion after beating San Diego State in the MWC title game. Other than 1 slip up against Wyoming, Utah State looked really good in their final games of the year and they were winning their games by large margins. They won the conference championship game alone by 30+ points, putting up 46 points on the San Diego State defense that was really good all year long. They have won 5 of their previous 6 games and all 5 of those wins were by 20+ points. Utah State has been having a great year on both offense and defense. Oregon State has been very up and down this year though. They have won 2 of their previous 3 games but have lost 3 of their previous 5 games and their defense has looked bad in all of those games whether they won or lost. They didn't give up more than 15+ points in their previous 2 wins but they have given up 20+ points in most of their wins this year. They have lost 5 games this year and they have given up 30+ points in all of those games. Oregon State does not have a good defense and I think that is going to be a huge problem here with the way that Utah State has looked on offense. I think Utah State is going to keep scoring in this game and run up the score on Oregon State to the point where they won't be able to come back. I think Utah State is better and has a good chance at winning this game with all of the momentum they have from their conference championship. I like Utah State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 38-24 Utah State. | |||||||
12-16-21 | Knicks -6.5 v. Rockets | Top | 116-103 | Win | 100 | 14 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Knicks. I like the New York Knicks to cover the spread against the Houston Rockets in this game on Thursday. The Knicks have lost 4 games in a row and I think they are going to bounce back big in this game. They haven't been winning games lately but they have looked a lot better on the court ever since taking Kemba Walker out of the rotation. They haven't let an opposing team score 113+ points in 3 games in a row but 2 of those games they did not give up more than 105 points. Thibodeaux has this team moving in the right direction preaching the defense to his players so I expect their defensive efforts to keep getting better and better in every game. The Rockets have looked really bad in most of their games this year, they only have 9 wins and 7 of those wins all came in a row on a big win streak they went on. They have started to look bad in their games again lately and have only won 1 game in their previous 4. The Rockets are also missing a lot of starters in this game and even if Gordon and Wood end up playing, it is not going to be enough to beat the Knicks here when they won't even be at 100%. The Rockets just lost their most recent game to the Cavaliers by 30+ points and they didn't even get to 90 points in that game. I think the Knicks are going to play great defense in this game and ensure that they break out of their bad run with a big win against the Rockets who are 1 of the worst teams in the league already and are missing key players here. I like the Knicks to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 107-92 Knicks. | |||||||
12-15-21 | Portland +17.5 v. Oregon | Top | 71-96 | Loss | -108 | 13 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Portland. I like Portland to cover the spread against Oregon in this game on Wednesday. Portland has looked good in their games this year with an 8-3 start to the year. A lot of their wins this year have been close games but their has been a few that they won by 10+ points too. They have only lost 3 games all year and they did not even look terrible in those losses. Their biggest loss was by 16 points to Arizona State in their 1st game of the year but things translate over fully in that first game and they have gotten a lot better since that loss. They have lost 2 games since then and those were both losses by single digits. Their defense hasn't looked great but their offense is scoring in their games and has been keeping up with whatever team has been in front of them. Oregon was supposed to have a very promising year this year but that has turned into a disaster as they have 5 losses through 10 games already. They started great winning 3/4 games to start the year but they have lost 4/6 in their most recent games and haven't looked good in any of those games but 1. Their 1 impressive win was over Montana by 40 points but their other win was an unimpressive 6 point win over UC Riverside on their own home court and then they had 2 losses by 10+ points and 2 closer losses against other conference teams. Oregon has looked bad all year and they are playing bad in a lot of their games. Oregon is not going to win this game by double digits with the way they have been playing so I like Portland to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 66-62 Oregon. | |||||||
12-14-21 | Blue Jackets v. Canucks -143 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 17 h 47 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Vancouver Canucks. I like the Vancouver Canucks to win against the Columbus Blue Jackets in this game on Tuesday. The Canucks have started to get hot lately and have gone on a bit of a run winning 4 games in a row and they only have 1 loss in their previous 7 games. This game is going to conclude a 6 game home stand that they are on but they have looked great in those games. They lost the 1st game of that stand but won 4 in a row after that and their defense and goalkeeping has looked great. During this 4 game run of wins, they have recorded 1 shutout and they have given up more than 1 goal in just 1 of those games. I think that they are going to keep up that great play here and win this game with their defense and a lot of help from Demko. Demko had a very good year for them last year and after a rough start this year, he is starting to look like that great form he was in last year again. The Blue Jackets just edged out an OT win in Seattle in their most recent game but they have looked like a huge mess in their games lately. They have won just 2 of their previous 8 games and the last time these 2 met was in Columbus at the end of November and the Blue Jackets won that game 4-2. Now the tables have turned for this game, the Canucks will be on their home ice and now they are playing great lately while the Blue Jackets have struggled to win games since their last meeting with the Canucks, only picking up 2 wins since then. The Blue Jackets have also looked terrible on defense and have given up 4+ goals in 3 of their previous 4 games. I think this Blue Jackets team is a mess at the moment and the Canucks have been hot lately. I like the Canucks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Canucks. | |||||||
12-13-21 | Rams v. Cardinals -129 | Top | 30-23 | Loss | -129 | 80 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Arizona Cardinals ML. I like the Arizona Cardinals to beat the LA Rams in this game on Monday. The Cardinals have looked really good this year and even though not a lot of people are talking about them, they have the best record in the league. They have lost 2 games this year and have been dealing with injuries to a lot of their stars. They were missing Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins for a number of games but still managed to win with Colt McCoy at QB and a very thin offense. They finally got Murray and Hopkins back last week and they beat the Bears 33-22 but were up by a lot before the Bears started to make a late comeback. They will be playing in this game too and I think they are going to pick up right where they left off. Murray did not even throw the ball a lot in their previous game but they ran all over the Bears. The last time they played the Rams earlier this year they won 37-20 in LA and now they get to be at home for this game. The Rams looked a lot better last week but that win was against the Jaguars who are 1 of the worst teams in the league. Before beating the Jaguars, they lost 3 games in a row to the Packers, 49ers, and Titans. The Cardinals have a lot of talent on both sides of the ball, their defense is great and their offense is great and now they have a lot of their players back and healthy for this game. The Rams have been struggling lately and the Cardinals are going to be hungry for a win here because they will clinch the division and their spot in the playoffs with a win on Monday night. The Cardinals have been playing better this year and they just have a better team right now. I like the Cardinals to win this game on the moneyline. T.M. Prediction: 31-24 Cardinals. | |||||||
12-09-21 | Hurricanes +115 v. Flames | Top | 2-1 | Win | 115 | 15 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to beat the Calgary Flames in this game on Thursday. The Hurricanes have looked much better lately and have started to heat up again in their games winning 2 in a row. Both of those wins were impressive wins too as they only gave up 2 goals in each game and scored 10 goals total between the 2 games winning both by 2+ goals. The Hurricanes have actually looked good on the road too winning 2 of their previous 3 road games and winning both by 2+ goals and scored 4+ in both. The Flames looked really good in their games up to last week but they have lost 2 games in a row and I think they are entering a bit of a slump here. They just came back from a 4 game road trip too and I think that they are going to come out flat in this 1st game back at home from that trip. Their defense and goalkeeping has been bad in their games lately. They have given up 11 goals in their 3 most recent games giving up almost 4 goals in every one of those games. They did give up 3+ goals in all 3 of them too. I think that this is going to be a bad spot for the Flames to win here and I like the way the Hurricanes have been playing lately with their scoring and their defending. The Flames have started to cool off lately and the Hurricanes have been heating up in their previous games after just breaking out of their mini slump. I think the Hurricanes are going to get after them in this game, I like the Hurricanes to win this one. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Hurricanes. | |||||||
12-08-21 | Blazers v. Warriors -14 | Top | 94-104 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Portland Trail Blazers in this game on Wednesday. The Warriors have been the best team in the league this year and they have looked really good in their games and that's without Klay Thompson returning yet. They have worked their way into 1st place in the league with the best record and they have been destroying the teams standing in their way. Going back to their most recent 6 wins, they won all of those games by 15+ points including the Suns when they were on their 18 game win streak, and the Trail Blazers a few weeks ago with Damien Lillard and CJ McCollum in the lineup. Lillard and McCollum are both going to be out for this game so the only difference is now they are missing their 2 best players. I think those 2 losses are going to make a big impact in this game, the Warriors were able to beat them with their best players last time and now those players will be missing which I think makes this way easier for the Warriors to cover here. The Trail Blazers have lost 3 games in a row at home without Lillard in any of those games and their closest game was a 12 point loss to the Clippers. They even lost the other 2 games by 25+ points and McCollum was playing in both. Now they have to go on the road after those home losses and I don't think the Trail Blazers are going to be able to dent the Warriors in this game. I think the Warriors are too strong for them and playing too well. I like the Warriors to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 115-92 Warriors. | |||||||
12-07-21 | Michigan v. Nebraska UNDER 141.5 | Top | 102-67 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Michigan/Nebraska UNDER. I am on the under in the Michigan vs Nebraska game on Tuesday. Michigan started the year as a ranked team but they have come a long way since then with 3 losses just 8 games in they have already been stripped of their rank this year and are not the team people though them to be. Their defense has looked good lately and they have kept the opposing team to less than 60 points in 2 of their previous 3 games. Their offense has decreased a lot since the beginning of the year though and they aren't scoring as much as they were. They have only put up 70+ points in 1 game of their previous 4. Michigan has also played just 1 road game this year and they were terrible in that game only putting up 51 points. Nebraska has been playing in some high scoring games this year but now that conference play is here I expect that to change. Nebraska put up 70+ points in their 1st 8 games this year except for 1 and that was against Creighton. Creighton was the best team that they faced during that time but as soon as they play a decent team they can't score as much and aren't as good anymore. Their most recent game was a conference loss to Indiana and they only put up 55 points in that game, and that was right after a game that they scored 100 points in. Their defense wasn't terrible in that game either though and they didn't let Indiana get to 70 points in that game. I think that Nebraska is going to struggle here since Michigan is a much better team but I don't think Michigan is going to come out and lay the points on them either. I expect there to be some good defense in this game from both and I think Michigan is also going to struggle on the road a bit. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 64-56 Michigan. | |||||||
12-05-21 | Giants v. Dolphins -6 | Top | 9-20 | Win | 100 | 21 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Miami Dolphins. I like the Miami Dolphins to cover the spread against the New York Giants in this game on Sunday. The Dolphins have been surging lately and have looked really good in their games ripping off 4 wins in a row. They aren't just winning close games either, all 4 of those wins have been by 7+ points. They aren't just beating up on bad teams either, they have beaten the Ravens who lead the AFC and the Panthers who have a great defense. They have put up 20+ points in their previous 3 games and they just put up 33 points on that great defense that the Panthers have just last week. Tua is playing great at the moment and I think that he is going to continue to play great in this game too. The Giants have looked better in their games lately but their offense still doesn't look good and their defense has to keep them in their games. Daniel Jones is making bad decisions on the field and the offense won't be able to run efficiently unless he is at his best. They haven't even put up 14+ points in their previous 2 games. I think that the Dolphins are playing a lot better at the moment and their offense actually looks good in their games. The Giants have been winning some games lately but not with good offensive efforts and they are just barely hanging in those games with their defense and scraping by. I think that the Dolphins are much better and they are going to run away with this game against the Giants. I like the Dolphins to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-20 Dolphins. | |||||||
12-04-21 | Alabama v. Gonzaga -9 | Top | 91-82 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Gonzaga. I like Gonzaga to cover the spread against Alabama in this game on Saturday. Gonzaga just won their previous game by 9 points against Tarleton State but I think that they still have to be boiling over their loss to Duke in their game before that one against Tarleton. They lost to Duke by 3 points but they still played very well in that game and they have looked really good all year. That loss dropped them to 3rd in the country while Duke took over 1st place and then went and lost to Ohio State after that. I think that Gonzaga is boiling over that loss and I think that they are looking to destroy all ranked teams and take back their spot at the top. Gonzaga has already beaten a few ranked teams this year and they were by double digits in both games. They beat a top 10 Texas team by 12 points and they also beat a top 5 UCLA team by 20 points and they were 2nd in the country at the time of that loss to Gonzaga. I think Gonzaga is still by far the best team in the country no matter what the rankings say. Gonzaga has beaten many opposing teams by 20+ points and by double digits this year, including ranked teams, and I expect this game to be no different for them. Alabama has looked okay in their games this year but they have also had a much easier schedule than Gonzaga has and Alabama hasn't even faced a ranked team all year before this game. I think Gonzaga is still the best team and I like them to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 85-65 Gonzaga. | |||||||
12-04-21 | Kent State v. Northern Illinois +3.5 | Top | 23-41 | Win | 100 | 21 h 21 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Northern Illinois. I like Northern Illinois to cover the spread against Kent State in this game on Saturday. Northern Illinois looked really good all year and they finished with the best record in the MAC this year. They lost their most recent game to Western Michigan but I think that they were looking ahead to this game and will be ready to play Kent State here. Northern Illinois lost to Kent State at the beginning of November and it was a close game, Northern Illinois losing it by 5 points 52-47. I think that Northern Illinois is going to be looking for their revenge against Kent State here and I expect them to play hard since this is the title game too. Kent State has looked a bit shaky in their games lately. They barely won their previous game against Miami Ohio winning that game by 1 point in OT. They had to win that game to get into this one too so they put a lot of effort into that game and I think that Northern Illinois has been focused on this game for twice the amount of time that Kent State has been. Northern Illinois was dominating conference teams all year and every little thing went their way this year in their games since there were quite a few games that they just barely won by 3 points or less. I think it is Northern Illinois' year and I think that they are good enough to win this game and the title. I like Northern Illinois to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 37-34 Northern Illinois. | |||||||
12-01-21 | Avalanche v. Maple Leafs -120 | Top | 3-8 | Win | 100 | 14 h 42 m | Show |
T.M Selection: Toronto Maple Leafs. I like the Toronto Maple Leafs to win this game against the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday. The Leafs have looked great in their games lately and they are destroying teams they face at every turn. They have won 4 games in a row but they also have just 1 loss in their previous 10 games. They have been scoring a lot of goals and they haven't been giving up many either during this time. They have scored 3+ goals in 4 games in a row and they have also given up 2+ goals just 1 time in those games. The Avalanche have also looked great lately with just 1 loss in their previous 8 games. Their offense is scoring a lot in those games but their goalkeeping hasn't been the greatest. They have not given up less than 2 goals in 7 games in a row. Both teams are playing great but I think that the Leafs have been the better team as of late and I expect them to get the win in this game. Both teams can score goals but I think that this game is going to come down to defense and the goalkeeping and that advantage goes to the Leafs here. I think they will be able to shut down the Avalanche in this game so I like the Leafs to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Leafs. | |||||||
11-30-21 | Warriors v. Suns UNDER 221 | Top | 96-104 | Win | 100 | 17 h 48 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Warriors/Suns UNDER. I am on the under in the Golden State Warriors vs Phoenix Suns game on Tuesday. This game is between the 2 best teams in the league right now and I don't think it is going to be a high scoring shootout. The Warriors have won 7 games in a row and the Suns have won 16 games in a row, neither team is going to want to lose here and I think that both are going to play better defense in order to keep the other off the board knowing how hot both teams have been. The Suns have only put up 120+ points 2 times in their previous 12 games and I really don't think they will be able to do that on the Warriors with their defensive skill. The Warriors have held the opposing team to less than 100 points in 2 of their previous 3 games and i expect them to play their best defense all year knowing that they are playing a team that has won 16 in a row. The Warriors have been on a crazy run and playing incredibly since the start of the year though, so the Suns aren't going to have their guard down in this game either. The Warriors haven't put up 120+ points in 9 games in a row anyway, and I think the Suns will make sure that continues here. I am expecting a lower scoring game between these 2 hot teams as both try to play their best defense in this game. I am on the under here. T.M. Prediction: 97-95 Suns. | |||||||
11-28-21 | Eagles -3.5 v. Giants | Top | 7-13 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Eagles. I like the Philadelphia Eagles to cover the spread against the New York Giants in this game on Sunday. The Eagles have started to look really good lately. They have won 3 of their previous 4 games and they have been scoring a ton of points while doing so. They have put up 30+ points in their previous 3 wins and they have been a team that can score a lot of points all year. The Eagles have only scored less than 20 points in 1 game this year and that was back in week 2. Now they look a lot better and Hurts has a lot more experience playing and running the offense than he did back at the beginning of the year. The Giants have looked really bad lately and I think the Eagles are going to put up a ton of points on them in this game. The Giants just gave up 30 points to the Buccaneers and only put up 10 points themselves in their previous game and the offense looked like it did not know what was going on. Daniel Jones was missing throws in that game, ignoring or not seeing wide open players downfield, and the receivers themselves were dropping the ball and weren't always running the right routes in that game. They just fired their OC Jason Garrett but he is not the problem with this offense and I don't think it is going to make much of a difference for them who is calling the plays in this game when the players can't execute them. I think the Eagles are better and will be able to move the ball much better than the Giants can on offense. I like the Eagles to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-16 Eagles. | |||||||
11-27-21 | Houston v. Connecticut OVER 54 | Top | 45-17 | Win | 100 | 24 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Houston/UConn OVER. I am on the over in the Houston vs UConn game on Saturday. Houston has put together a really good year after losing their 1st game and their offense has looked really good in their games lately. They have put up 30+ points in every game this year except for 2, the game that they lost and a 28-20 win over Navy. Houston knows that they are going to be facing Cincinnati in the AAC Championship so I think that they are going to use this game more as a tune up and try some new things to score some big plays. UConn has been terrible all year and their defense has given up 40+ points in their previous 3 games. I think Houston's offense is going to shred the UConn defense and they might score enough points themselves to put this game over the posted total. UConn might score some points in this game but I think that Houston is going to put up a ton of points in this game between their great offense and UConn's awful defense. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 56-10 Houston. | |||||||
11-26-21 | Wizards -7.5 v. Thunder | Top | 101-99 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Washington Wizards. I like the Washington Wizards to cover the spread against the OKC Thunder in this game on Friday. The Wizards were holding down the 1st place spot in the East just over a week ago but they have gone on a bad run lately and have dropped to 4th place in the East after getting just 1 win in their previous 5 games. They just lost to the Pelicans by 20+ points right before Thanksgiving and that one had to sting since the Pels are 1 of the worst team in the league. I think they are going to bounce back from that bad loss in this game and drown the Thunder in buckets. The Thunder have not looked good at all this year, they have lost 4 games in a row and have just 1 win in their previous 7 games. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been their only bright spot this year and he is injured at the moment and questionable to play this game. Even if he does play in the game, he won't be 100% and once the Wizards take him out of the game with their defense then it will be all over for the Thunder and any chance they had to do damage in this game. I think the Wizards are going to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 111-96 Wizards. | |||||||
11-26-21 | Iowa +1 v. Nebraska | Top | 28-21 | Win | 100 | 25 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Iowa. I like Iowa to cover the spread against Nebraska in this game on Friday. Iowa has been having a great year with just 2 losses, they haven't looked the best in all of their games this year but they are still a very talented team. Their only losses of the year were to Purdue right after they played a very emotional game against Penn State just barely getting that win, and to Wisconsin right after that who looks to be on their way to the Big 10 title game. Their offense has looked really good in their previous 2 games, they put up 27 points and 33 points and their running game was very good too. Nebraska has not been having the year that they planned to with only 3 wins this year. They have lost 5 games in a row and they were all close games that they had a chance to win in. They were unable to win any of them though and I think that this team just has a problem playing a full 60 minutes and finishing their games off. I also think they have fallen short so many times because they are good but just not good enough. Iowa has a really good defense and their offense has looked really good too lately. I think Iowa should be the favorite here, they are just the better team. I like Iowa to cover the spread and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 27-21 Iowa. | |||||||
11-25-21 | Raiders v. Cowboys -7.5 | Top | 36-33 | Loss | -102 | 15 h 28 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Cowboys. I like the Dallas Cowboys to cover the spread against the Las Vegas Raiders in this game on Thursday. The Cowboys didn't look good in their loss to the Chiefs last week but that is just 1 bad game among a ton of good ones that they have played in this year. The week before that they beat down on the Falcons 43-3 so I think this is still a very strong offense and team that just had a bad game in their previous 1. The Cowboys will still be missing a few key players on offense due to injuries and covid but I still think they have enough talent with who they have playing to lay a beating on the Raiders. The Raiders have lost 3 games in a row now and their offense hasn't been able to do anything in those games, putting up no more than 16 points in any of those games. They played as well as they could with all of the outside distractions going on but I think that Derek Carr and the team has taken about enough pressure that they can handle and I think that they are going to start cracking under the pressure as a team and fall of the map as the season goes on. The Cowboys will be looking for a bounce back game after a loss to the Chiefs and went better way to bounce back than getting a huge win at home on Thanksgiving for all the fans. I like the Cowboys to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-17 Cowboys. | |||||||
11-23-21 | Gonzaga -5.5 v. UCLA | Top | 83-63 | Win | 100 | 19 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Gonzaga. I like Gonzaga to cover the spread against UCLA in this game on Tuesday. Gonzaga is the best team in the country by a lot and I think that they are going to prove it in this game when they destroy UCLA. Gonzaga has been scoring a lot of points this year with 80+ points in all of their games. They have given up less than 60 points in most of their games this year and have only given up 70+ points on 1 occasion and it was against a ranked team. UCLA has not been playing good defense this year giving up 60+ points in most of their games, even giving up almost 80 points to Long Beach State. I think Gonzaga plays better defense and will be able to shut down UCLA when they have possession. UCLA only put up 75 points in their previous game too, and I think that they will not be able to match the Gonzaga offense playing like that. They also have a common opponents in their 1st few games. Both teams have played Bellarmine already, UCLA won by 13 points and Gonzaga won by 42. Gonzaga is just a much better team and I think that they are going to show why they are the best in the country when they destroy UCLA here. I like Gonzaga to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 84-72 Gonzaga. | |||||||
11-23-21 | Oilers v. Stars OVER 6 | Top | 1-4 | Loss | -115 | 17 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oilers/Stars OVER. I am on the over in the Edmonton Oilers vs Dallas Stars game on Tuesday. The Oilers have been a very high scoring team in a lot of their games this year. They have played 3 of their previous 4 games with 7+ goals in them and the Oilers have been contributing to a lot of those goals. The Oilers have scored 68 goals this year which puts them in 1st place of the Western Conference for most goals scored and they are 2nd in the league just 3 goals behind the Panthers. The Stars have also been involved in a lot of high scoring games lately. They have played 7 of their previous 8 games with 6+ goals in each of those 7. They scored 4 goals in their previous game but they also gave up 7 goals in the game before that one. The Stars have also played 8 games in a row while scoring 2 goals in every game. Their defense has looked shaky at times but their offense can bail them out of games sometimes. I think there is going to be a lot of goals in this game with these 2 teams scoring so much lately. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Oilers. | |||||||
11-21-21 | Packers -1 v. Vikings | Top | 31-34 | Loss | -102 | 46 h 3 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Green Bay Packers. I like the Green Bay Packers to cover the spread against the Minnesota Vikings in this game on Sunday. The Packers have shown that they are going to be a major force in the NFC this year. Their offense has looked great when Aaron Rodgers has been under center for them. Their defense has started to look really good in their games lately too. They have given up 10+ points just 1 time in their previous 4 games. The Vikings are probably feeling good after a win against the Chargers in their previous game but this season has not been going their way this year. They have been up and down in their games and have also been on the wrong end of a few bad beats. Despite everything that has happened to them in their games this year, I still think that they are just a mediocre team that is finding ways to get by and stay above water barely. The Packers have better quality players on their team and they are a Super Bowl caliber team. I like the Packers to cover the spread here and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 34-20 Packers. | |||||||
11-20-21 | Michigan State +19.5 v. Ohio State | Top | 7-56 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Michigan State. I like Michigan State to cover the spread against Ohio State in this game on Saturday. Michigan State has looked really good all year, they only have 1 loss this year against Purdue but that loss came right after a big game against Michigan where they won so that game against Purdue was a let down spot for them. They bounced back from that performance last week when they beat Maryland by 19 points. There is no doubt that they have been looking forward to this game all year. Ohio State is ranked in the top 4 at the moment but a loss in this game could destroy their playoff hopes altogether and I think Michigan State is going play like they want to deliver that loss to them. Michigan State has a really good defense and I think they will keep Ohio State from running away with this game. This game is very important so I think it is going to be a much closer game with 2 really good teams here. I like Michigan State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 38-27 Ohio State. | |||||||
11-19-21 | Avalanche v. Seattle Kraken OVER 6 | Top | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 17 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Avalanche/Kraken OVER. I am on the over in the Colorado Avalanche vs Seattle Kraken game on Friday. The Avalanche are on a big run of high scoring games lately. They have gone 5 games in a row with 6+ goals being scored in their games. They have been a large contributor to this as they have scored 4+ goals in 3 games in a row and also in 6/7 of their previous games lately. The Avalanche have also been hot lately winning 5/7 of their previous games so I think they're going to continue that here and score plenty of goals in this game. The Kraken have also been going through the same run of high scoring games and have had 6+ goals in 7 games in a row now. Their defense and goalkeeping has not looked good either, they have given up 4+ goals in 5 games in a row, including giving up 5 goals to the worst team in the league, the Arizona Coyotes. They have not been going through a scoring drought though, they have scored 2+ goals in 7 games in a row. I think they are going to be able to net a few in this game on their home ice but with the way their defense and goalkeeping has been lately, I think the Avalanche are going score a lot on them and bury them in goals here. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Avalanche. | |||||||
11-18-21 | Warriors -8 v. Cavs | Top | 104-89 | Win | 100 | 14 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Cleveland Cavaliers in this game on Thursday. The Warriors are 12-2 to start the year and they are holding down the best record in the league. From what I have seen in their games, the Warriors look like they are back, and they don't even have Klay Thompson back in the lineup yet. They only have 1 loss in 9 games and all 8 of those wins were by 10+ points, they are absolutely destroying teams. The Cavaliers have looked decent up to this point but now a lot of their key pieces are out with injury and I don't expect them to continue what they've been doing without those players. The losses of Markkanen, Sexton, and Mobley are huge blows to their team and even Allen is questionable for this game with an illness. With all of their starters out of this game, and for the time being, the Cavaliers are going to start taking a dive so I like the Warriors to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 117-92 Warriors. | |||||||
11-14-21 | Seahawks v. Packers OVER 49 | Top | 0-17 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Seahawks/Packers OVER. I am on the over in the Seattle Seahawks vs Green Bay Packers game on Sunday. The big story here is how both Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers will be returning as the starters for this game. The Seahawks are coming out of their bye week and much healthier with Wilson back at QB for them. Geno Smith held up alright keeping them in their last couple of games and he even put up 31 points for them in his last start, but Wilson gives this team a real chance at winning any game and with their defense still looking like it needs some work, he will have to put up a lot of points in this game to keep up with the Packers. The Packers were only able to score 7 points with Rodgers out last week but their offense has been great with him under center and I'm expecting to put out a big performance to counter the week of drama he had to experience with everything that was surrounding him. I think this game could easily turn into a shootout with these 2 QBs back so I am on the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 34-31 Packers. | |||||||
11-13-21 | Georgia -20 v. Tennessee | Top | 41-17 | Win | 100 | 48 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Georgia. I like Georgia to cover the spread against Tennessee in this game on Saturday. Georgia is the best team in the country this year and they have the best defense by far. Georgia's defense has not given up 14+ points in a single game this year and they haven't even given up 75 points total for the year. Their offense is no slouch either though, they have put up 30+ points in every game this year except for their first game against Clemson. Tennessee has looked better this year as the weeks go on but I think their defense is going to get burned by Georgia in this game and I don't think they are going to be able to score a lot of points either. Tennessee just lost a few weeks ago to Alabama by almost 30 points and they still put up 24 points in that game. I don't think they will be able to put up anywhere near that many points on Georgia's defense and I think Georgia is still going to put up roughly the same as Alabama did. This defense is just too good to let Tennessee score with ease so I like Georgia to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 45-10 Georgia. | |||||||
11-07-21 | Chargers -1 v. Eagles | Top | 27-24 | Win | 100 | 29 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Chargers. I like the LA Chargers to cover the spread against the Philadelphia Eagles in this game on Sunday. The Chargers were on such a great run before their bye week knocking off the Chiefs, Browns, and the Raiders during that run before it all came to an end against the Ravens. They came out of their bye last week and lost another game against the Patriots where they made some end of the game mistakes which sealed their fate. I think that they are due for a bounce back in this game, they are still a very good team on both offense and defense and they are going to get right in this game. The Eagles looked really good in their last game posting 44 points but that was against the winless Lions who have a real chance to go 0-17 this year. I think there is too much respect for the Eagles when they have shown that they cannot do much to keep up with the big boys until they are already trailing in those games by 14+ points. The Chargers are the better team in every way and I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 35-21 Chargers. | |||||||
11-06-21 | Ohio State -14 v. Nebraska | Top | 26-17 | Loss | -112 | 9 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ohio State. I like Ohio State to cover the spread against Nebraska in this game on Saturday. Ohio State have looked much better in every game since their little hiccup against Oregon at the beginning of the season. They have put up over 50+ points in most of those games and have put up 30+ points in all of them. Their defense is playing much better too, giving up less than 20 points in each of their last 5 games, except their last 1 against Penn State. Nebraska is no Penn State though, and I don't think they will be able to even put up 20 points on this Ohio State defense. Nebraska have lost 3 games in a row now and even though they made all of those games close where they had a chance to win the game, they still lost all of them to teams much worse than Ohio State. CJ Stroud is looking to express why his team deserves a playoff berth and a blowout win here would really help their case out a lot. I think they are going to go out there and destroy Nebraska without taking their foot off the gas at any point. I like Ohio State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 49-14 Ohio State. | |||||||
10-31-21 | Dolphins v. Bills OVER 48 | Top | 11-26 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dolphins/Bills OVER. I am on the over in the Miami Dolphins vs Buffalo Bills game on Sunday. The Dolphins have played some rough games in their last 2 that they had a chance at winning in both and came up short. It all started in London when they gave the Jags their 1st win of the season but still managed to put up 20 points in that game over sea. Then in their game last week they had the lead with a minute left but gave the ball back to the Falcons losing on a last attempt field goal. They still put up 28 points in that game too. Their offense has not been the problem in their games and they have been gaining yardage and putting up points well. It is their defense that keeps blowing the leads for them and if they play like that here they will definitely be giving up a ton of points to this Bills offense. The Bills just had their bye week but lost their last game to the Titans and will be looking for a win here to get right. Since their week 1 loss to the Steelers, the Bills have put up 30+ points in every game since then and have 1 of the best offense in the league. They have already played the Dolphins earlier this year and put up 35 points in that game and gave up 0. The Dolphins have been bad on defense lately and the Bills have only gotten better on offense so I think they can put up even more points here. It is a lot tougher to play a team the 2nd time around so I expect the Dolphins to play better with their improved offense and actually put up some points on the board here. I like this game to go over the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 45-17 Bills. | |||||||
10-30-21 | Georgia v. Florida UNDER 51 | Top | 34-7 | Win | 100 | 10 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Florida/Georgia UNDER. I am on the under in the Florida vs Georgia game on Saturday. Florida just had their bye week after a game against LSU that they lost in a very high scoring shootout. They lost to LSU 49-42 after 2 games where the defense played great giving up 0 and 20 points. They fell apart in that game on the defensive side of the ball and I know that was a huge talking point during their bye. I think they would have been working to fix the problems from that game and iron out all the little things. Georgia is the best team in the country and they also sport the best defense in the country as well. They have played in 7 games this year and have not even given up 50 points total. Kentucky put up 13 points on them in their last game and that was the most points scored on them by a single team in a game this year. Georgia had their bye week last week too and they will be very focused on shutting down Florida in this game. The only way Florida is going to beat them is to play very good on defense too or they might not get any chances to put up points in this game. I expect this to be a low scoring game that Florida will struggle in to score at all and I expect them to keep Georgia at bay a bit in their desperation to win this game. I like this game to under the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 28-7 Georgia. | |||||||
10-29-21 | Clippers v. Blazers -135 | Top | 92-111 | Win | 100 | 15 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Portland Trail Blazers ML. I like the Portland Trail Blazers to beat the LA Clippers in this game on Friday. The Trail Blazers won their last game against the Grizzlies after a brutal loss on the road against the Clippers in their game before that one. They had a nice bounce back against the Grizzlies beating them by 20 points, but I think this is the game that they are looking forward too. Their coach called their loss in LA embarrassing and with the way these Clippers are playing, who can blame him? That loss was very embarrassing and I expect the Trail Blazers to get their revenge here at home. Damian Lillard has not even been playing well and is off to a slow start this year. The team has been getting carried by CJ McCollum but I expect that Lillard is going to have a tremendous game very soon. I think he has a huge game here and along with the way McCollum is playing at the moment, they will be unstoppable and too much for the Clippers to handle. The Clippers are off to such a bad start that their only win was against Portland last Monday and they have also suffered losses to the Grizzlies and the Cavaliers in their first 4 games here. The Clippers are just bad right now and can't be trusted at all. I like the Trail Blazers ML to win this game here. T.M. Prediction: 118-102 Trail Blazers. | |||||||
10-24-21 | Washington Football Team v. Packers OVER 47.5 | Top | 10-24 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Washington/Packers OVER. I am on the over in the Washington Football Team vs Green Bay Packers game on Sunday. Washington lost to the Chiefs in their last game and there was 44 points put up in that game. That was the 1st time in 5 games that a Washington game did not have 50+ points in it. It was also the 1st time in 5 games that Washington didn't put up 20+ points themselves. They did not put up any points in the 2nd half of that game as the Chiefs finally tightened up their defense at halftime and played well. I think they should have an easier time scoring against the Packers though. Terry McLaurin barely got any action in that game and he is one of their best players on the offense. I expect them to get him going in this one and once he's rolling, the offense should roll right along with him. The Packers have not put up 30 points themselves in their last 3 games with all of those games staying under this posted total. Washington has one of the worst defenses in the league this year and I expect the Packers to be able to roll them here. The Packers can attack this defense in the running game and the passing game and either way they will not have any answers for Aaron Rodgers and this Packers offense. I think Washington can put some more points up in this game than they did in their last game and I think the Packers are going to have no troubles moving the ball on a bad Washington defense. I like this game to go over the total. T.M. Prediction: 35-20 Packers. | |||||||
10-23-21 | Ohio State -21 v. Indiana | Top | 54-7 | Win | 100 | 11 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ohio State. I like Ohio State to cover the spread against Indiana on Saturday. Ohio State looks nothing like the team that we saw lose to Oregon back in week 2. They have been hitting their stride in their last few games coming away with some big victories in their games. They have put up 50+ points in each of their last 3 games while giving up less than 20 points in all of them. Their last 2 games were against conference teams and they won each of those games by 39+ points. CJ Stroud has looked much better in their games and even threw 5 TDs in their last game against Maryland. They had their bye week last week and will be even more prepared for this game against Indiana with some extra rest on their side too. Indiana have just been getting by in their games this season but they have really started to struggle as soon as they hit conference play. They have played in 3 games against Big 10 opponents this year and have scored a total of 21 points in those games. They only put up 15 points against Michigan State in their last game and they were shut out by Penn State in their game the week before that one. They do not have a strong offense and will now have to face the best team in the Big 10 by far. I think Ohio State is going to put up a ton of points in this game while Indiana struggles to even put up points. I like Ohio State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Selection: 56-14 Ohio State. | |||||||
10-23-21 | Mavs v. Raptors UNDER 216.5 | Top | 103-95 | Win | 100 | 11 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Raptors/Mavericks UNDER. I am on the under in the Toronto Raptors vs Dallas Mavericks game on Saturday. The Raptors are on a B2B in this matchup and this is the 2nd game of that B2B. They lost a lot of their talent in the offseason and their offensive power really took a hit with the departure of Kyle Lowry. This is a very young team now but they are still playing good defense in their games to make up for that offense that they lack. In 2 games this season, they have not given up 100+ points in either of their games. Neither of their games have reached 200 points total either. The Mavericks haven't had a good start to their season this year losing their 1st game and failing to score even 100 points in that game. They were a disappointment in that game and now they have to travel out of the country up north for this game with no momentum on their side after that crushing loss. Their shooting was horrific in that game and I expect them to have a similar kind of game here. The Raptors won't really push them to score a lot either as they will try to win this game with a good defensive approach. I expect this to be a lower scoring game where 1 of these teams will not even reach 100 points. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 101-95 Mavericks. | |||||||
10-22-21 | Oilers v. Golden Knights OVER 6 | Top | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 16 h 59 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oilers/Golden Knights OVER. I am on the over in the Edmonton Oilers vs Vegas Golden Knights game on Friday. The Oilers have been a scoring machine ever since the beginning of the new season. They had a slow start with only 3 goals in their 1st game but their offense has exploded now with 5 goals themselves in each of their last 3 games played. Their games have also been high scoring in general with 3/4 of their games played this season seeing 6+ goals in them. They are playing this game on a B2B and will likely be tired between that and all of the travelling they have done. Their defense is more likely to suffer than their offense will in that kind of situation as defense normally requires more effort and their fatigue will deter them from that. Vegas has had 2/3 games this season see 7+ goals already. They have also not won a game since opening night and will be hungry here after 2 losses in a row. They last played on Wednesday night and are at home in this game so their players will be well rested and they will be ready to score a lot of goals on an Oilers team that they know will score a lot on them if they don't take control quick. I think this game is going to have a lot of goals in it so I like the over in this one. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Golden Knights. | |||||||
10-22-21 | Red Sox -101 v. Astros | Top | 0-5 | Loss | -101 | 14 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Boston Red Sox. I like the Boston Red Sox to beat the Houston Astros on Friday and tie up the series 3-3. The Red Sox have been backed into a corner, after getting a 2-1 lead in the series they now find themselves down 3-2 and on the road for their next 2 games where if they lose 1 then they are out. I think they are going to stop the bleeding in this game. The Astros have now won 2 in a row against them and it is very hard to win 3 in a row against the same team in the MLB. The Red Sox were unable to do so when they had the 2-1 lead in the series and I think the Astros won't be able to do so either. Even in the ALDS the Astros were unable to win 3 straight against the White Sox and couldn't sweep them after going up 2-0 in that series. Nathan Eovaldi (11-9, 3.75 ERA) is starting in this game he was the reason for their destruction in the 9th inning when Houston scored 7 runs to tie the series 2-2. That was just 1 bad inning though and he was just a reliever then too. He has started in 3 games this postseason and has pitched well in his starts not giving up more than 3 runs in any of those games and his team went on to win all 3 of his starts including game 2 of this series against the Astros. Luis Garcia (11-8, 3.30 ERA) is up for the Astros and unlike Eovaldi, Garcia has only been a starter this postseason pitching in 2 games and pitching very bad in both. He allowed 5 runs in each of those starts and his team went on to lose both games, including game 2 of this ALCS. I think the Red Sox are going to take advantage of him on the mound here so I like the Red Sox to win this 1 and force a game 7. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Red Sox. | |||||||
10-18-21 | Astros +108 v. Red Sox | Top | 3-12 | Loss | -100 | 18 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros. I like the Houston Astros to beat the Boston Red Sox in Game 3 on Monday. The Astros lost in Game 2 of this series letting the Red Sox tie it up going back to Boston but I think the Astros are going to get that game back here. They have put up 5 runs in each game of this series and is the highest scoring team in this postseason so far. Jose Urquidy (8-3, 3.62 ERA) is starting and he has pitched well for them all year. He has been pitching well lately with just 2/9 games in his last few starts where he gave up more than 2 runs. He has not pitched since October 3 so he will be very fresh for this game. Eduardo Rodriguez (13-8, 4.74 ERA) is starting for the Red Sox and he has already pitched in 2 games of this postseason. He gave up 2 runs in each of those but the 1 game he did not make it to the 3rd inning in and was credited with the loss and the other was a no-decision. He does not have a good track record against the Astros this year either. He has given up a total of 12 runs in 2 games he pitched against them, 6 in each game. The Astros are going to come to take the lead in the series here and I think their batters are going to be hitting Rodriguez no problem. I like the Astros to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Astros. | |||||||
10-17-21 | Rams -8 v. Giants | Top | 38-11 | Win | 100 | 36 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Rams. I like the LA Rams to cover the spread against the New York Giants on Sunday. The Rams bounced back after their first loss of the season getting a win over the Seahawks on Thursday night. They have had some extra days of rest for this game and should be well rested for it. The Rams are looking very strong on offense this year with their new QB Matt Stafford. The Giants are not playing well on defense and the Rams will be able to score with ease in this game. Daniel Jones is expected to be back after a scary hit in his last game that caused a concussion. Even if he is back this week, it doesn't matter since all of the weapons on this team are injured. Barkley is out as well as Shepard and Golladay. They also have a few other pass catchers injured for this one. The Giants really have nothing to work with here and Jones can't do it all himself. I think the Giants have no chance here in their current situation so I love the Rams to cover the spread in this spot. T.M. Prediction: 31-10 Rams. | |||||||
10-16-21 | Alabama -17 v. Mississippi State | Top | 49-9 | Win | 100 | 19 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Alabama. I like Alabama to cover the spread against Mississippi State on Saturday. Alabama got knocked off by Texas A&M last week and is now faced with 1 loss this year and dropped to 5th ranked in the country. That was a massive upset and now Alabama is sitting outside of the college football playoffs if they were happening this week. They will be eager to get their rank back and that starts with running the table and blowing out the other teams while they are at it. It has been a very weird year for college football so there is still a chance for them but they need to show that they look good on both offense and defense and that starts in this game. They will need to get a blowout win here to help make their case. Mississippi State is just a mediocre team that usually plays in close games where their offense matches the team they are playing. I think Alabama will be able to take care of them with ease, Nick Saban will have his team geared up and ready to bounce back. I like Alabama to cover the spread here in a must blowout win game for them. T.M. Prediction: 45-14 Alabama. | |||||||
10-12-21 | Penguins v. Lightning OVER 5.5 | Top | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 20 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Penguins/Tampa Bay Lightning OVER I am on the over in the Lightning vs Penguins for this opening night game of the NHL. The Lightning are the defending Stanley Cup Champions and they have a very high scoring attack as they are one of the strongest offensive teams in the league. They are already back to their ways with all but 2 of their preseason games seeing 6+ goals in them. The Lightning love to score goals and the Penguins are going to have to score a lot to keep up in this game. The Penguins have also been scoring a lot in their preseason games. After a slow start in their first 2 games, they have had 6+ goals total in their last 4 preseason games. I think both of these teams are going to find the net and try to put on a show for opening night here. I like this game to go over the total. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Lightning | |||||||
10-10-21 | 49ers v. Cardinals -5 | Top | 10-17 | Win | 103 | 74 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Arizona Cardinals. I like the Arizona Cardinals to cover the spread against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. The Cardinals are the only undefeated team left in the NFL and I think that it is going to stay that way after this week. The Cardinals have looked really good in all of their games. They have only played in 1 close game this year, winning by 1 point over the Vikings, all of their other wins were by 10+ points. Kyler Murray is really guiding this offense to victory with his amazing play and his ability to keep any broken play alive when he scrambles. The 49ers are in trouble after losing their last 2 games, including 1 against division rival Seattle. They need a win here and are so desperate that they have decided to start rookie QB Trey Lance in this game. Lance may be a great QB but he will need time to adjust to the NFL while Kingsbury and Murray have been doing it for years now and all that hard work is finally starting to show for it. The Cardinals took down the team to beat in their division last week when they beat up on the Rams by 17 points. They will not be stopped by this 49ers team so I like the Cardinals to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-20 Cardinals. | |||||||
10-09-21 | Memphis +3.5 v. Tulsa | Top | 29-35 | Loss | -115 | 54 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Memphis. I like Memphis to cover the spread against Tulsa on Saturday. Memphis has played close games all year leading up to this one. Their largest win against an FBS team this season was by 5 points against Arkansas State. Their largest loss this year was by 3 points in their last 2 games by UTSA and Temple. Tulsa has been struggling in their games all year and is pretty much the worst team in this conference this season. They lost by 35 points to Houston in their last game and they also have a loss against an FCS team this year on their record. Memphis does not have the best defense but they make up for it with their very good offense. They have been putting up a ton of points in every game this season and have only played 1 game where they didn't put up 30+ points, and they still had 28 points in that one. Memphis has a good enough offense to keep up in this game and even go on to win it. I like Memphis to cover the spread and even win in this game. T.M. Prediction: 41-30 Memphis. | |||||||
10-06-21 | Cardinals v. Dodgers OVER 7.5 | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -103 | 36 h 56 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cardinals/Dodgers OVER. I am on the over in the St. Louis Cardinals vs LA Dodgers Wild Card game on Wednesday. The Cardinals were easily the hottest team in the MLB to finish off the regular season this year. In the last week they were on a 17 game win streak at one point that was ended but they had been scoring so many runs along with it. When the Cardinals needed to win games to get here they didn't just win games barely or scrape by with good pitching, they won their games with force putting up run after run as they would bury teams. Adam Wainwright (17-7, 3.05 ERA) is starting and he has been a little shaky in his last couple of starts. He has given up 7 runs in his last 2 starts and he also faced the Dodgers in early September giving up 4 runs in that game. The Dodgers were another team that finished the season incredibly hot as they were trying to catch the Giants for the division. They put 8+ runs in each of their last 5 games to finish the season scoring a ton of runs. Max Scherzer (15-4, 2.46 ERA) is starting but he has not been at his best lately. He has had 2 bad starts in a row now giving up 5 runs in each game he pitched in. These are two of the hottest hitting teams in the MLB right now and both pitchers have seen better days lately. I think there will be a lot of runs scored here so I like the over in this one. T.M. Prediction: 9-5 Dodgers. | |||||||
10-03-21 | Ravens v. Broncos | Top | 23-7 | Win | 100 | 40 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Baltimore Ravens. I like the Baltimore Ravens to cover the spread against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. The Ravens have responded well after getting upset in Vegas back in week 1. They won their next 2 games and even knocked off the big bad Kansas City Chiefs in the process. They have also played much better teams than the Broncos have this year. The Ravens are 2-1 after beating Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, and beating the Lions with Jared Goff. Their 1 loss also came to the Raiders who are undefeated. The Broncos are an undefeated 3-0 but they have beaten the Giants, the Jags, and the Jets who all have a combined record of 0-10 this year. The Ravens have a lot of tricks up their sleeve with Lamar Jackson and they will be able to find holes in the Denver defense. The Broncos are a good team but they haven't proven themselves yet and until they do I will be on the Ravens to get the win and cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 27-17 Ravens. | |||||||
10-03-21 | Twins v. Royals OVER 10.5 | Top | 7-3 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Pick: Twins/Royals over (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). 2 poor pitchers face off here in the final game of the regular season and I believe each will see limited time. The home side goes with Kris Bubic (6-7, 4.43 ERA), who comes in off a decent outing against the Tigers. Bubic hasn't been terrible over the last month, but he's still just 2-4 with an elevated 5.46 ERA in all day games. The Twins see Griffin Jax (4-5, 6.37), toe the slab and he was most recently blasted for 4 runs over four innings in a loss to the Jays on Sunday. Over his last 77 frames Jax has an ugly 6.78 ERA, 1.40 WHIP. Look for this one to sail well over the number. T.M. Prediction: 8-7 Twins. | |||||||
10-02-21 | Arkansas v. Georgia UNDER 49 | Top | 0-37 | Win | 100 | 11 h 21 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Arkansas/Georgia UNDER. I am on the under in the Arkansas vs Georgia game on Saturday. Arkansas has been a big surprise this year but they sure do have a good team on both offense and defense. They are 8th in the country and will be going on the road to play the 2nd place Georgia who has the best defense in the country. Arkansas has been moving the ball on offense and putting up points as they have scored 38+ points in all their games except for 1. Their defense has been even better though, holding other teams to less than 20 points in most of their games, with 21 against Texas being the highest amount of points scored on them in a single game this year. I expect their defense to have another great game against this Georgia offense. Georgia has been scoring a lot of points on offense but they have not really played anyone good. The best team they have played this year was Clemson and they only put up 10 points against them. Now they will face a tough Arkansas defense that they will struggle to run the ball against. I think both teams have a very good defense and I think both are going to struggle on offense in this game. I like this game to stay under the total. T.M. Prediction: 20-13 Georgia. | |||||||
09-26-21 | Packers +3.5 v. 49ers | Top | 30-28 | Win | 100 | 103 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Green Bay Packers. I like the Green Bay Packers to cover the spread and upset the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. The Packers looked very good against the Lions on Monday night. Their offense was running well throughout that entire game and their defense finally kicked in and started really shutting the Lions down when they needed to in the 2nd half. Aaron Rodgers showed everyone in that game that week 1 was "just 1 game" and that there is still plenty of season left for them to hit their full stride. They scored 35 points while the defense held the Lions to 17, allowing no points in the 2nd half of that game. The 49ers have looked good in their first 2 games as well but have been a little wishy washy. In their first game their offense looked great putting up 41 points on the Lions but their defense allowed them to come back in that game letting the Lions score 33 points. Then last week, the 49ers defense played great as they held the Eagles to 11 points but their offense only managed to put up 17 points themselves. Aaron Rodgers looks like he's ready for the season now and he has a lot of weapons to work with on that offense in both the running game and the passing game. They will be looking to be the best in the NFC this season and that starts here with taking down one of the undefeated teams. I like the Packers to cover the spread here and win the game in an upset. T.M. Prediction: 30-23 Packers. | |||||||
09-25-21 | Rutgers v. Michigan -20 | Top | 13-20 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 60 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Michigan. I like Michigan to cover the spread against Rutgers on Saturday. Michigan has looked good this season on both offense and defense and they look like they are getting back to that powerhouse team that they used to be. All of their wins this season have been by 21+ points, their most impressive one was a 31-10 win over Washington. They pretty much ripped out Washington's game plan in that one and used it against them as they were able to tear their defense up in the run game while stopping it themselves with their defense. This will be their first conference game this season and they will be out to make a statement in this game. Michigan is not just looking for a Big 10 title at this point, they want consideration for the college football playoffs so I expect them to win their games in blowout fashion, especially these important conference ones. Rutgers has also been winning their games by a large margin but between Temple and Syracuse, those are the toughest opponents they have faced this season and they only came away with a 10 point win over the Orange. Michigan has a solid defense and will be able to stop the Rutgers offense here. They also have a very good running game and a smart quarterback who makes good decisions when he throws the ball. I like Michigan to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 42-10 Michigan. | |||||||
09-15-21 | A's -135 v. Royals | Top | 12-10 | Win | 100 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oakland Athletics. I like the Oakland Athletics to beat the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. The A's have now lost 3 games straight and they desperately need a win here as they find themselves 3.5 games out of a wildcard spot. Sean Manaea (9-9, 3.79 ERA) is starting for them and he has been solid lately. He has not allowed more than 2 runs in his last 2 starts and was awarded with a win in his last time out. The Royals have lost just 1 game in their last 5 but I think it's time for the spoiling to stop here. They are way out of playoff contention and will have Mike Minor (8-12, 5.05 ERA) starting in this game. He has not allowed more than 2 runs in his last 2 starts but he allowed 3+ in each of his 5 straight starts before that and that has been a common theme for him all year. The Royals have actually lost the last 7 straight games that Minor has pitched in. This is a must win for the A's as they cannot afford to fall any further behind in this wildcard race. I like them to win this game and defeat the Royals on Wednesday. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Athletics. | |||||||
09-12-21 | Jaguars -170 v. Texans | Top | 21-37 | Loss | -170 | 6 h 35 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Jags I like the Jaguars to cover the spread against the Texans on Sunday. The Jags only won 1 game in the preseason but they put up a really good fight in one of those losses only losing the game by 2 points. Trevor Lawrence looked really good in those games and he did not throw a single interception either. He will be the starting quarterback going forward and he should be able to run this offense very well with the pieces he has at running back and wide receiver. The Texans did alright in the preseason winning 2 of their games but Tyrod Taylor will be the starter for the regular season. He did not get a lot of work in this preseason and he probably should have considering he has not been a starter on a team in a while. Taylor is not a bad QB but I think he will be a bit rusty in this game and Houston does not have the best weapons to work with. Lawrence is younger and very skilled, he will be able to command his offense well so the Jags should cover the spread in this one. T.M. Prediction: 31-13 Jaguars | |||||||
09-11-21 | Iowa v. Iowa State OVER 45.5 | Top | 27-17 | Loss | -115 | 52 h 52 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Iowa State/Iowa OVER. I am on the over in the Iowa State Cyclones vs Iowa Hawkeyes game on Saturday. Iowa State only put up 16 points in their last game and they were playing a weak Northern Iowa team. Their offense moved the ball well with 100+ rushing yards in that game and 199 passing yards. Iowa had a much better outing in their first game with a win over a strong Indiana team putting up 34 points in the process. The offense had 100+ yards in the run game and in the passing game. This will be a big rivalry game so I expect both teams to play hard here. Both will want to beat the other and that could drive up the score as 1 will want to beat the other as the game will stay close. The total is very low here for a college football game so I like this one to go over. T.M. Prediction: 30-24 Iowa State. | |||||||
09-06-21 | Louisville v. Ole Miss OVER 75.5 | Top | 24-43 | Loss | -108 | 12 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ole Miss/Louisville OVER (10* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). Ole Miss is going to have to rely on its offense a lot this year. I foresee it being in a lot of high-scoring games. You can expect to see a really high total attached to most of its games as well each week. Matt Corral averaged 10.2 yards per game for Ole Miss last season. Malik Cunningham will be given the green-light early and often here for the Cardinals too, who will be desperate to pull off an upset. With 14 returning starters (mostly on offense), Louisville is poised for much better and more consistent production on the offensive side of the ball. I expect an up-tempo contest, rather than a "chess match." This number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
09-06-21 | Blue Jays +119 v. Yankees | Top | 8-0 | Win | 119 | 5 h 56 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays (10* TRADE-MARK). Do or die. Now or never. Use whatever cliche phrase you want, but this is a truly massive series for the Toronto Blue Jays. The two teams ahead of them in the standings for the Wildcard spot are the A's and the Yanks, and Toronto just swept Oakland at home over the weekend. New York has been trending in the other direction of late, as it's lost seven of its last ten, including two in a row. Both Jays' starter Hyun-Jin Ryu and Yanks' starter Jameson Taillon have struggled in August. Let's call these starters a "wash." But at this point of the season, I think that momentum is a very real, almost tangible factor and I expect it to be the difference-maker in the opener of this series. The value may swing the other way if Toronto wins tonight, but that's the way I see the opener of this one breaking down. A really strong situational play here, one worthy of my top 10* signature TRADE-MARK designation! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Jays. | |||||||
09-04-21 | Miami-OH v. Cincinnati -22.5 | Top | 14-49 | Win | 100 | 6 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bearcats I have a hard time seeing Miami Ohio mustering up much of an offensive attack here today. The RedHawks went 2-1 last year, while tthe Bearcats went 9-1. Brett Gabbert isn't going to be able to keep pace with Desmond Ridder, who is out for a Heisman this season. The Bearscats are 5-1 ATS in their last six non-conference games. The RedHawks are just 3-10 ATS in their last 13 in the same position. I look for the home side to go up early, and then to cruise to victory; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 37-7 Cincy | |||||||
09-03-21 | Orioles v. Yankees OVER 9 | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Yankes/Orioles OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). The Yankees won't be taking this series at home against the Orioles for granted. Here's a great opponent to try and get the home sweep over as New York looks to gain ground on the now scuffling Rays, while also distancing itself from Toronto. Nestor Cortes (2-2, 2.77 ERA), gave up three runs in a loss over five innings to the A's on Saturday. Cortes has struggled to pitch late into games and that trend is almost certainly going to happen again here. The Orioles see John Means (5-6, 3.46) take the hill. He most recently gave up two runs over six innings in a no-decision to the Rays on Saturday. Previous to that Means had dropped three straight after returning from a stint on the IL. I say the book is still out on him. With both starters exiting early, look for this one to fly over the number sooner, rather than later! T.M. Prediction: 7-6 New York. | |||||||
09-03-21 | Duke -6 v. Charlotte | Top | 28-31 | Loss | -116 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Duke Both teams have plenty of new faces on both sides of the ball. Each had difficulties last year, but most teams did during the abbreviated Covid season. The bottom line here for me though today gentlemen is that the Blue Devils hammered Charlotte 53-19 last year and I expect a similar sort of outcome today as well. Gunnar Holmberg doesn't have a lot of experience as QB, but he's been with Duke for three years. He knows the system and that's a small advantage he has. Duke gave up 38.1 PPG last year, but it was decimated with injury and COVID issues. I expect a BIG step up from this group today. The 49ers were also hit hard by COVID last season. Chris Reynolds is a decent QB, but I think he'll have his hands full today with this improved Duke defense. The Blue Devils are better across the board and I look for them to pull away in the fourth quarter. Lay the points. T.M. Prediction: 45-21 Duke | |||||||
09-02-21 | Pirates v. Cubs -150 | Top | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 13 h 0 m | Show |
I am on the over in the Chicago Cubs vs Pittsburgh Pirates game on Thursday. The Pirates had 9 total runs scored in their last game. Mitch Keller (4-10, 6.75 ERA) is starting for the Pirates and he has been awful this season. His last start saw 18 total runs in that game. He allowed 7 runs in his last start and just 2 of his last 5 starts he has allowed less than 4 runs scored against in a game. The Cubs have gone under in 2 straight games now but before that they had 3/4 games have 10+ runs scored by a single team. Keegan Thompson (3-3, 3.09 ERA) is starting and he has seen some high scoring ones lately. His last start ended in a 17-13 loss for his team. He has had 3/4 starts have 10+ runs in his last 4. Both pitchers have been struggling lately and the bullpens for these teams are not very good. There should be lots of runs scored in this one to shoot it over the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 8-6 Cubs. | |||||||
09-02-21 | Bowling Green v. Tennessee OVER 60.5 | Top | 6-38 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Tennessee/Bowling Green OVER The Vols are retooled and revamped and a huge favorite for good reason here on Opening night for each club. Bowling Green on the other hand was a complete disaster last season. It went winless in the abbreviated campaign and it's once again expected to finish last in the MAC. The Falcons only averaged 11 points per game on 326 yards. They'll improve on the offensive side with five starters returning. However, the defense was a joke, allowing over 300 yards rushing per contest. The Vols will be out to run up the score here from the get go after their 3-7 season. Josh Heupel is the new head coach in Tennessee and he'll have 12 starters rurning. Joe Milton transferred from Michigan and he'll have plenty of weapons around him. I don't see Bowling Green competing, but it'll get some points down the stretch in garbage time. It all adds up to a solid over here. T.M. Prediction: 52-17 Vols | |||||||
08-25-21 | Dodgers -135 v. Padres | Top | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 21 h 10 m | Show |
I like the Los Angeles Dodgers to beat the San Diego Padres on Wednesday. The Dodgers are hot losing just once in their last 11. They are on the hunt for 1st place in their division just 3 games back from the Giants. Walker Buehler (13-2, 2.11 ERA) is starting on the mound for the Dodgers and he has been fantastic this season. His team has won the last 3 games he started for them and they have also won 17 of the 25 games he has played in this season. He has been averaging less than 2 runs allowed per game as teams can't seem to find an answer for him. The Padres have not been playing well lately with just 1 win in their last 7. Blake Snell (6-5, 4.82 ERA) has been decent lately, his team losing the last 2 games he started in. He allowed 5 runs total in his last 2 starts. The Dodgers are trending in the opposite direction from the Padres and I have to ride them while they are hot. Dodgers win this one. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Dodgers. | |||||||
08-21-21 | Winnipeg -3.5 v. Toronto | Top | 23-30 | Loss | -110 | 41 h 28 m | Show |
I like the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to cover the spread against the Toronto Argonauts on Saturday. The Blue Bombers have gotten off to a great 2-0 start this season. Now they hit the road for the first time to play an Argos team that they just beat in their last game 20-7. The Blue Bombers have been scoring pretty consistently, but it's the defense that have been the real stars. In 2 games this season, they have held the Tiger-Cats to 6 points and the Argos to 7. The Argos are 1-1 on the season coming home for the 1st time in 2 years. They did not look good against the Blue Bombers a week ago as both of their quarterbacks struggled against this defense, failing to throw for 100 yards or a touchdown. Both barely completed 50% of their passes and 1 even threw an interception. They are going to see the same defense that they struggled against a week ago and I don't expect anything to change here. The Blue Bombers will be able to put points on the board while their defense shuts the Argos down. I like the Blue Bombers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 27-14 Blue Bombers. | |||||||
08-19-21 | Mariners -158 v. Rangers | Top | 9-8 | Win | 100 | 14 h 17 m | Show |
I like the Seattle Mariners to beat the Texas Rangers on Thursday. The Mariners have been red hot in their last few games losing just 1 time in 7 games. They have won the last 4 straight that they have played Texas in. Chris Flexen (10-5, 3.78 ERA) will be starting on the mound for the Mariners and he has played well this season. The team has lost just 1 game in his last 3 starts and he has only allowed 7 earned runs total in that span. The Rangers have not looked good lately as they have won just 1 game in their last 4. They will be starting Spencer Howard (0-3, 5.61 ERA) and he has not pitched well as his team lost 4 of the last 5 games he played for the Phillies in. His team has already lost both games he appeared in as a Mariner too. These teams are going in opposite directions so I like the Mariners to keep rolling here. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Mariners. | |||||||
08-18-21 | Seattle Sounders FC v. FC Dallas OVER 2.5 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -114 | 11 h 7 m | Show |
I am on the over in the FC Dallas vs Seattle Sounders game. Dallas has been averaging about 2 goals scored per game in their last 5. They are a much better team when they play at home as they have averaged over 2 goals scored per game all season at home. The Sounders are built with quality players and have been a dynasty in the MLS over the past years, currently sitting pretty in 3rd place of the entire league. They have certainly picked up their game lately, scoring 9 goals total across their last 2 games. They are coming off a game where they scored 6 goals themselves and allowed 2 against, and that was on the road. They will be on the road here where they have average about 2 goals scored per game all season. This game will shoot over the total as both of these teams can score goals. Dallas scores a lot more at home, where they will be in this one, and Seattle is just too good a team to roll over and get shut out on the road. I think this is a great game to go over the total. T.M. Prediction: Dallas 2-2 Sounders. | |||||||
08-13-21 | Dodgers -148 v. Mets | Top | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 19 h 28 m | Show |
I am on the Los Angeles Dodgers to beat the New York Mets on Friday evening. The Dodgers had a 4 game win streak snapped on Thursday and i expect them to get back on track here. Julio Urias (13-3, 3.41 ERA) will be starting for them and he has been great this season. He has only allowed 3 earned runs in his last 4 and has been credited with 4 straight wins. The team has been very successful this year with him pitching losing just 6 of the 23 games he has started in. The Mets have been a little hot lately, currently on a 3 game win streak, but 2 of those wins came by just 1 run. The Mets will be starting Tylor Megill (1-2, 3.20 ERA) and he does not have too much experience playing in the big leagues. He has lost his last 2 starts allowing 4 earned runs in each of those games. The Dodgers lineup has a lot of talent and depth and will beat up on this rookie pitcher. The Mets have played some close games lately, but that win streak will end here as the Dodgers will be looking to get a win after losing the previous night. I expect the Dodgers to take this one. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Dodgers. | |||||||
08-09-21 | Marlins v. Padres -1.5 | Top | 3-8 | Win | 100 | 23 h 30 m | Show |
I like the San Diego Padres on the runline Monday night against the Miami Marlins. The Padres have cashed on the runline in 4 games of their last 6. Joe Musgrove (7-7, 2.87 ERA) will be starting on the mound for San Diego and he has been having a good year thus far. He has pitched exceptionally well in his last 3 starts allowing a total of 3 earned runs in those 3 games. The Marlins have taken a beating lately currently on a 3 game losing streak, losing each of those by 12, 3, and 5 runs, allowing a total of 34 runs scored against them in those 3 games. Zach Thompson (2-4, 2.53 ERA) will be starting for Miami here and the team has seen better days than with him on the mound. Miami has lost the last 5 games that Thompson has started in, all but 1 of those by 2+ runs. This is thompson's 1st year in the MLB and he has already been lit up by these Padres allowing 3 earned runs in a 5-2 loss to them just a few weeks ago. This Padres lineup is very talented and with the way the Marlins have been getting lit up lately, this should be another destruction of Miami. San Diego wins this one by -1.5. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Padres. | |||||||
08-05-21 | Hamilton v. Winnipeg +160 | Top | 6-19 | Win | 160 | 21 h 44 m | Show |
CFL is back and kicks off Thursday night with a game between the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Blue Bombers are the defending Grey Cup champions from 2019, as there was no season last year, and still come into this game as a +3.5 point dog. I love the Blue Bombers here at the dog price to win this game straight up. The last CFL game that either of these teams played was in that 2019 Grey Cup where the Blue Bombers smoked the Tiger-Cats 33-12. There is definitely some revenge factor for Hamilton here, but as far as Winnipeg is concerned they have been disrespected yet again with this line. This is a team that played the entire 2019 season with that underdog mentality, they were even a dog in every single playoff game and still came out victorious. They are used to being disrespected and will also be coming to play with a chip on their shoulder. Both of these teams are missing a few key pieces here so each have their own disadvantages in the injury department. The Blue Bombers have home advantage here and will definitely want to come out and show everyone how they are still going to be a strong force in this league. T.M. Prediction: 30-25 Blue Bombers. | |||||||
08-01-21 | Astros +100 v. Giants | Top | 3-5 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 36 m | Show |
I like the Houston Astros to beat the San Francisco Giants. Luis Garcia (7-5, 3.19 ERA) allowed 6 runs in the last game he played in, but the team has won 4 of their last 6 when he has started on the mound and I think he will be looking to bounce back here with a good performance. Logan Webb (4-3, 3.36 ERA) has pitched extremly well with the team winning their last 7 straight with him starting on the mound. I think that good fortune comes to an end here as the Astros' bats are hot currently scoring 6+ runs in each of their last 5 games. The Astros win this one. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Astros. | |||||||
07-31-21 | Uriah Hall v. Sean Strickland UNDER 3.5 | Top | 0-1 | Push | 0 | 14 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Strickland/Hall UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE MONTH). I absolutely don't see this one going to decision. Strickland is a big favorite and Hall is going to have to take some risks if he wants to avoid this one going to the cards, where he'd surely lose to the more technical fighter. Each fighter has the power to deliver a KO as well. Look for this fight to fall well under the posted number. T.M. Prediction: Quick KO/SUB etc. | |||||||
07-31-21 | Royals v. Blue Jays OVER 9.5 | Top | 0-4 | Loss | -104 | 6 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Jays OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). The Royals have been playing really good baseball of late. Despite yesterday's 6-4 series opening loss, they've still won eight of their last nine. The opener went under, and the Royals have actually seen the total dip below the posted number in six straight. The Jays have returned to Toronto and I think that we're in for an even higher-scoring game on Saturday. I don't trust either starter. Mike Minor (8-8, 5.32 ERA) for the Royals has been consistently inconsistent all season. Alek Manoah (2-1, 2.90) hasn't pitched since early July due to injury for the Jays. I expect the starters to get the hook early and that'll ultimatley result in this one flying over the number sooner, rather than later; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 8-7 Toronto. | |||||||
07-30-21 | Twins -114 v. Cardinals | Top | 1-5 | Loss | -114 | 13 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Twins (10* TRADE-MARK). I like Jose Berrios (7-5, 3.48 ERA) in this matchup over his counterpart Wade LeBlanc (0-2, 4.31). LeBlanc is coming off another shaky start for the Cards, most recently allowing three runs off eight hits over four innings in a fortunate no-decision to the Reds. He's only pitched 22 innings and his decent ERA is not supported at all by his pedestrian/poor 1.55 WHIP and 15/9 K:BB. Berrios gave up two runs over seven innings and still took a loss to the Angels in his last outing. Off that hard-luck setback, I look for Berrios to be pivotal in his team posting a victory here; lay the short price! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Minnesota. | |||||||
07-29-21 | Blue Jays +103 v. Red Sox | Top | 13-1 | Win | 103 | 12 h 35 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays (10* TRADE-MARK). Toronto needs to make up some ground on the Red Sox and maintain its lead on the Yanks. I like the Jays to build off their 4-1 win yesterday. They will feel great in handing the ball to Hyun-Jin Ryu (9-5, 3.44 ERA), who is coming off a mediocre no-decision to the Mets, allowing four runs over four innings. Ryu though has been super solid all year and there's no reason not to believe he can't return to form here. Eduardo Rodriguez (7-5, 5.23) has pitched much better of late after a shaky start, but he still owns a poor 5.36 ERA at home this season. I like Ryu in this one, great value on the hungry Jays! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Toronto. | |||||||
07-28-21 | Dodgers v. Giants UNDER 7.5 | Top | 8-0 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers/Giants UNDER (10* TOTAL ELITE OF ELITE). No need to over think this one. The Dodgers won here 2-1 last night and I expect a similar final combined score here as well. These are two of the most dominant starting pitchers in the league right now, and they're facing off tonight in this contest. The Dodgers go with Walker Buehler (10-1, 2.31 ERA) and the Giants see Anthony DeSclafani (10-4, 2.87) toe the slab; this one has under written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Giants. | |||||||
07-28-21 | Cardinals v. Indians +102 | Top | 2-7 | Win | 102 | 4 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Indians (10* TRADE-MARK). I like the way this one sets up for Zach Plesac and the Indians. Cleveland is deperate for a win here, as it's lost seven of its last ten, including a 4-2 loss here yesterday to the Cards. St. Louis has a night off before another interleague series, but this time at home to the Twins, setting this up as a classic letdown/look-ahead spot for the visitors, who have won two in a row and seven of their last ten. Kwang-Hyun Kim has won five straight starts, but I say he finally stumbles here against the hungrier home side; great value here on Cleveland! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Indians. | |||||||
07-27-21 | Marlins -120 v. Orioles | Top | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Marlins (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). I like the Marlins and Sandy Alcantara here. He's coming off a longer layoff because being on the bereavement list, but I think that'll help him here. Spencer Watkins has been great in his limited time for the Orioles, but I think he'll struggle here to keep pace with his superior opponent. The Orioles have won six in a row, but I say that streak ends here (nnote that Baltimore is still just 4-9 in its last 13 at home.) Look for Miami to move to 10-3 in its last 13 interleague road games against a team with a losing record; the play is the Marlins! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Miami. | |||||||
07-26-21 | Reds v. Cubs -125 | Top | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 12 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cubs (10* TRADE-MARK). The Cubs are out of contention, but they haven't thrown in the towel and they won't be rolling over for their division rival here. Especially with their ace on the mound. Wade Miley (8-4, 2.72 ERA) and Kyle Henrdricks (12-4, 3.61) are evenly matched, but the Cubs are 7-1 in their last eight home games in the -115 to -135 range. In the opener of this four-game set, look for the home side to draw "first blood." The play is the Cubs! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Chicago. | |||||||
07-25-21 | Tigers v. Royals +104 | Top | 1-6 | Win | 104 | 5 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Royals (10* TRADE-MARK). The Royals are playing their best ball of the year right now and I look for that trend to continue here. After coming from behind and then holding on for the 9-8 victory over the Tigers yesterday, the Royals have now won four in a row. Detroit had won seven in a row and I think its now due for further regression after back-to-back road defeats here. Lynch and Skubal are the starting pitchers. Both have been bad. They're a "wash" for arguments sakes, but the momentum that KC has built up right now is real in my opinion. I'll also point out that the Royals are 7-2 in their last nine after scoring 8 or more runs in a home victory in their last outing. The price is right, the play is KC! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 KC. | |||||||
07-24-21 | TJ Dillashaw v. Cory Sandhagen UNDER 3.5 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -160 | 12 h 53 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Sandhagen/Dillashaw UNDER 3.5 rounds (-166 Pinnacle). Dillishaw has something to prove here after a lengthy suspension for EPO use. He last competed in 2019 when he lost in 32 seonds to Henry Cejudo by knockout. Sandhagen has won 7 of his 8 fights in the UFC, his only loss coming by quick submission against current bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling. This is a make or break fight for each fighter. A lacklustre performance won't help either. I expect fireworks. I also expect that to lead to a very quick fight. T.M. Prediction: Early KO. | |||||||
07-24-21 | Tigers v. Royals -120 | Top | 8-9 | Win | 100 | 10 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Royals (10* TRADE-MARK). The Tigers seven-game winning run came to an end in yesterday's 5-3 defeat here. The Royals are hungry for more victories and they're arguably playing their best ball of the season right now, as they enter on a three-game win skein. Look for that momentum to get carried over here. Casey Mize (5-5, 3.44 ERA) of the Tigers and Carlos Hernandez (1-1, 4.91) of the Royals are a wash as far as these starting pitchers are concerned. Detroit had been playing over its head over the last two weeks and a crash was inevitable. Expect that slide to continue here and for the starving home side to take advantage! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 KC. | |||||||
07-23-21 | Nationals -129 v. Orioles | Top | 1-6 | Loss | -129 | 10 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nationals (10* TRADE-MARK). Washington's three-game win streak came to an end after a 3-1 loss at home to Miami two nights ago. I think the Nats bounce back here though in this favorable interleague matchup on Friday night. The visiting side hands the ball to Patrick Corbin (6-8, 5.66 ERA) and the home side sees Jorge Lopez(2-12, 6.04) take the hill. Clearly, these two guys have struggled this season. Washington though is 7-1 in its last eight after a home loss in which it was held to one or less runs in. I like the big bats of the Nationals to be the difference; lay the price! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Nationals. |
