11-20-22 | Houston -6 v. Oregon | Top | 66-56 | Win | 100 | 11 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Houston I like the Houston Cougars to win this game against the Oregon Ducks on Sunday. Everyone knows that the Cougars, under head coach Kelvin Sampson, play a very aggressive defensive brand of basketball. In my opinion, early on, they have the best shot at winning the entire thing. Freshman Jarace Walker has been a huge addition after losing some key guys during the offseason. The Ducks have already lost this season, and I do not see them beating Houston, if they can't even beat the UC Irvine Anteaters. T.M. Prediction: 75-61 Houston. Line: -6.0 Line Parameter: play until -7.5 | |||||||
11-20-22 | Toronto v. Winnipeg -4.5 | Top | 24-23 | Loss | -110 | 150 h 36 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Winnipeg Blue Bombers I like the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to win this game against the Toronto Argonauts on Sunday. Winnipeg comes into this game with the much better record as they played in a way more competitive conference than the Argos did. The west is so much more talented and I believe that just being able to play more teams from the harder side will make things much easier. The Blue Bombers will be going for the three-peat on Sunday and they've looked like the best team all season long. Expect them to absolutely dominate this Grey Cup and become the Canadian Champions once again. T.M. Prediction: 31-13 Winnipeg. | |||||||
11-19-22 | Utah +3 v. Oregon | Top | 17-20 | Push | 0 | 130 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Utah Utes I like the Utah Utes to win this game against the Oregon Ducks on Saturday. Last season, these teams met twice (once in reg season and once in the Pac-12 championship game.) and the Utes killed them both times. This season, both teams are slightly different, but Utah still brings the same QB and RB into this game. A big blow was TE Brant Kuithe being ruled out for the season last month, but the Utes have relied on Dalton Kincaid in a big way to replace him. Oregon is coming into this game off a shocking loss against Washington last week that will kill any chances of them making the CFB Playoff. Utah wants to prove that they are still the better team and perhaps still even make the Pac-12 Championship game themselves. I expect the Utes to be familiar with the Oregon team and take it to them in a huge game that will be played like it's the Championship game on Saturday. I'll gladly take the points here. T.M. Prediction: 38-17 Utah. | |||||||
11-19-22 | Portland State v. Oregon State -8 | Top | 79-66 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oregon State I like the Oregon State Beavers to win this game against the Portland State Vikings on Saturday. The Beaver come into this game with a perfect 3-0 record. Although they haven't really been tested yet, this game shouldn't be anything to worry about for them. During those games, the Beavers have been outworking their opponents, while not shooting lights out. When they finally do start hitting their shots, this team is going to be very good. Portland State is only 1-2, with losses against in-state rival Portland, and Seattle earlier this season. Oregon State needs this game, especially with Duke on the schedule next. Expect them to rise to the occasion at home here on Saturday night. T.M. Prediction: 82-65 Ore St. Line: -8.0 Line Parameter: play until -10.5 | |||||||
11-18-22 | Loyola Marymount v. Georgetown UNDER 153 | Top | 84-66 | Win | 100 | 10 h 55 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Loyala Marymount/Georgetown UNDER I am on the UNDER in the Loyola Marymount Lions vs Georgetown Hoyas game on Friday. The Hoyas have looked slightly shaky to start the season, coming off a double digit loss against Northwestern last time out. They ended up only putting up 63 points in that game. Although they didn't even shoot the ball badly, they just got outworked and rebounded by a more hungry team. LMU comes in off a double digit loss as well. Although they've been in some higher scoring games so far this season, the Lions shot just 14% from beyond the arc in their last game. If you win the rebound battle in CBB, you have a really good chance of winning, but it just wasn't meant to be on Tuesday and Loyola Marymount only put up 64 points in that game. The total is very high with both teams off games where they struggled. I'll grab the under. T.M. Prediction: 69-66 Georgetown Line: O/U 152.5 Line Parameter: Play until O/U 149.5 | |||||||
11-16-22 | Sabres v. Senators OVER 6.5 | Top | 1-4 | Loss | -120 | 17 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Sabres/Senators OVER I am on the OVER in the Buffalo Sabres vs Ottawa Senators game on Wednesday. As the home favorite, with the worse record, the Senators will have to score a lot of goals to win this game. Buffalo is coming in off six straight losses and really need a bounce back performance here in this one. With both teams desperately falling lower and lower in the standings, I fully expect a game with lots of goal scoring here today. Give me the OVER. T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Sabres. | |||||||
11-15-22 | Sharks v. Golden Knights -1.5 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -100 | 26 h 20 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Knights on the puckline option. Not only do I expect the Knights to win this game, I believe they'll do so by a sizeable margin. The Sharks are off a rare 3-2 shootout win at Minnesota on Sunday and I expect a predictablel letdown. Vegas is 13-3 and it's averaging 3.69 GPG and allowing 2.31. It's off a rare 3-2 home loss to St. Louis three nights ago, so expect the rested Knights to come out flying tonight! T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Knights. | |||||||
11-15-22 | Pacific -4 v. North Dakota | Top | 93-63 | Win | 100 | 24 h 53 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pacific I like the Pacific Tigers to win this game against the North Dakota Fighting Hawks on Tuesday. Off a big win against North Dakota State on Sunday (a team that I think is better than North Dakota,) Pacific will take on the Fighting Hawks in this one. Jordan Ivy-Curry has looked very good to start the year and I expect him to continue his successful start here. North Dakota is coming off a game where they got absolutely killed by 35 against Creighton. They are only averaging 14 assists per game which isn't going to help against the high scoring Tigers. Give me the favorite, and the better team as I think this will be a destruction. T.M. Prediction: 84-69 Pacific. | |||||||
11-15-22 | Ohio -3.5 v. Ball State | Top | 32-18 | Win | 100 | 28 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ohio I like the Ohio Bobcats to win this game against the Ball State Cardinals on Tuesday. Ohio is the much better team and I believe that this game will prove that. Off 5 straight victories against conference opponents, the Bobcats are red hot at the moment. They now average 314.7 passing yards per game which ranks them in the top 15 in the country. Ball State is allowing 413.1 total yards per game, so Ohio should have no problem in scoring against these guys. If the Cardinals are to have a chance in this game, they'll need to put up a lot of points which I don't think that they are capable of doing. They've reached 40 points just once this season, and 30 just three times of the 10 games. Give me the Bobcats in a huge game for both teams. T.M. Prediction: 34-21 Bobcats. | |||||||
11-14-22 | Portland +5.5 v. Kent State | Top | 65-77 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Portland I like the Portland Pilots to win this game against the Kent State Golden Flashes on Monday. I believe that the wrong team is favored in this game. Coming off three convincing victories, the Pilots now have started a perfect 3-0. Now you would think that they finally would have some respect and be at least PK in this match, but as a pretty large underdog I love their price here. Kent State may be perfect so far as well, but they haven't played nearly as tough opponents as the Pilots are. This will be a tough game for them if they shoot the way they did against North Kentucky from the free throw line. They are just 55.9% as a team so far this year. I'll gladly take the points in this game with Portland. T.M. Prediction: 75-64 Portland. | |||||||
11-13-22 | Cowboys v. Packers +3 | Top | 28-31 | Win | 100 | 290 h 29 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Packers I like the Green Bay Packers to win this game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Off 5 straight losses, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers find themselves needing wins, and needing them in bunches. People thought that they weren't going to be as good, but nobody thought that they would be at 3-6 at this point in the year. Now, back at home against a Cowboys team that is coming off a bye will be a huge game for them. Dallas, who has spent half of their season with a backup QB, actually own a 6-2 record on the season. They've been spreading the ball around and making it look easy on defense with Micah Parsons. However, Dallas have struggled against Aaron Rogers in the past. In their last 9 meetings against each other, the Packers have won 8 of them. The Cowboys have also struggled in the month of November the past few seasons, as they only hold a 2-8 record in their last 10 games in this month. Even though their record isn't the greatest so far this season, Green Bay is a dominant 16-4 in their last 20 games played at Lambeau Field. As a home underdog in a must win game to practically save their season, I expect Rogers to win this game for his team on Sunday. T.M. Prediction: 26-17 Packers | |||||||
11-12-22 | Rangers -125 v. Predators | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -125 | 26 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: NY Rangers I like the New York Rangers to win this game against the Nashville Predators on Saturday. Igor Shesterkin (7-2-2, 2.53 GAA) has started the season with one of the best records in the National Hockey League once again. He's got a very strong team in front of him, with guys that can really score the puck. On the other hand, the Predators have struggled to open up the year. While grabbing the first two wins in the International Series to begin, the Predators are now just 5-8-1 on the season. I believe that the Rangers are just the better team and that they will have no problem winning this game after a very strong 8 goal performance last time out. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Rangers. | |||||||
11-12-22 | Northeastern v. Providence -14 | Top | 65-89 | Win | 100 | 26 h 21 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Providence I like the Providence Friars to win this game against the Northeastern Huskies on Saturday. Although the Friars lost a bunch of different guys, they still provide one of the best backcourts in the Big East and look to get back to the Big Dance. Northeastern enters this game off a double digit loss against Boston University on Monday in a game where they just got outworked. On the other hand, Providence's coach couldn't have been happy after their opening game against Rider. Although they won, it was not the blowout that they were hoping for. They finished 16-1 at home a season ago, and I have no doubts that Ed Cooley will get this Friars team right and ready for their second game of the season, off 3 full days of rest. T.M. Prediction: 78-57 Providence. | |||||||
11-12-22 | TCU v. Texas -7 | Top | 17-10 | Loss | -110 | 125 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Texas I like the Texas Longhorns to win this game against the TCU Horned Frogs on Saturday. Considering both of their records, the entire world was probably shocked to see that the Longhorns are the 7 point favorite. However, I am not whatsoever and I believe that this Texas team is no joke, especially at home. TCU comes into this game with a perfect 9-0 record. They have been running through teams pretty easily and find themselves against a ranked Texas team in a must win game for them. TCU has a very prolific offense, but so do the Longhorns. Last week saw the guys in orange beat Kansas State on the road in a gigantic game. RB Bijan Robinson ended up with 209 yards on the ground with a touchdown in the win. It's going to be a battle, but the only loss that Texas has suffered at home this season was a one point loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide. It's the battle of Texas and I expect the Longhorns to "shock" the world and dominate against this undefeated Horned Frogs team this weekend. T.M. Prediction: 39-27 Longhorns. | |||||||
11-12-22 | Chelsea +0.25 v. Newcastle United | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -116 | 45 h 0 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Chelsea I like Chelsea FC to win this game against Newcastle United on Saturday. Chelsea hasn't been their best so far this season, considering all of their talent. However, this will be the last game before many of their squad heads off to the World Cup in Qatar. Newcastle comes into this game red hot. They've got one of the best fullbacks in the EPL in Keiran Trippier, as well as midfielder Miguel Almiron, but I think that they will slow down a bit here. Chelsea still sits in 7th off back to back losses. I do not see them losing a third game in a row, so I'll gladly take the points here in this one. I wouldn't be surprised in a draw though. T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Chelsea. | |||||||
11-11-22 | Colorado v. USC -34 | Top | 17-55 | Win | 100 | 33 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: USC Tojans I like the USC Trojans to win this game against the Colorado Buffaloes on Friday. USC is one of the best teams in college football. Although they've lost a game this season, they still have a shot at glory, but they must win out and hammer these Buffaloes along the way. Good news is they might have their superstar WR in Jordan Addison back for this game who's been out for multiple weeks. I expect an absolute blowout on Friday Night. T.M. Prediction: 52-7 Trojans. | |||||||
11-10-22 | Towson v. Massachusetts -1 | Top | 67-55 | Loss | -115 | 27 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UMASS I like the Massachusetts Minutemen to win this game against the Towson Tigers on Thursday. Both teams opened the season up on Monday with wins. UMASS, however, has a very good backcourt of Fernandez and Weeks that should cause some troubles to this Tigers defense. Towson struggled against Albany in their opener. As a 15pt favorite, the Tigers were only able to put up 67 points in a 5pt win. UMASS plays in a tougher conference, so I expect them to dominate here at home on Thursday evening. T.M. Prediction: 81-71 UMASS. | |||||||
11-09-22 | Florida A&M v. Portland -22 | Top | 54-91 | Win | 100 | 32 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Portland I like the Portland Pilots to win this game against the Florida A&M Rattlers on Wednesday. Both of these two games opened up their season on Monday. Portland won their game 89-62, while the Rattlers got killed 80-45. Now, the Pilots will be back at home in a big game to keep their perfect start going here. The Pilots are a team filled with many great 2-way wing players that love to run the floor. In their opener, they able to score 21 points off turnovers which will be key in many games this year. With tougher games coming, and considering how good they look in the first game, I expect the Pilots to have no problem here on Wednesday. Take Portland and get ready for another blowout. T.M. Prediction: 83-48 Portland. | |||||||
11-09-22 | Penguins v. Capitals OVER 6.5 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -116 | 31 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Capitals/Penguins OVER I am on the OVER in the Washington Capitals vs Pittsburgh Penguins game on Wednesday. It's a rivalry like no other between Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin. Although both are getting older each season, they are both still undoubtedly the leading scorers on their teams. The Penguins are averaging 3.5 goals per game, however, they have given up 3.67 goals per game. Although the Capitals have been in some low scoring games, they are coming into this one off a 5-4 win against the Oilers which should be a sign of things to come in this matchup.Last season when these two teams matched up, they saw 7+ goals in three out of their four games. Expect another game with 7+ goals here. T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Pens. | |||||||
11-08-22 | Georgia Southern v. San Jose State UNDER 134.5 | Top | 48-63 | Win | 100 | 25 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Georgia Southern/San Jose State UNDER I am on the UNDER in the Georgia Southern Eagles vs San Jose State Spartans game on Tuesday. Georgia Southern has some very talented defenders on their team. A season ago, they gave up just 65.62 ppg and had some very low scoring games. SJSU has also seen a lot of UNDER's in the past. Last season, the Spartans only averaged 64.29 ppg. Now San Jose St might be the favorite in this game, but I think that the Eagles are going to shut down their offense and for this to be a low scoring battle on Tuesday night. T.M. Prediction: 59-56 Georgia Southern | |||||||
11-08-22 | Coyotes v. Sabres -1.5 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 21 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Sabres -1.5 I like the Buffalo Sabres to win this game against the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday. Off back to back losses, the Sabres find themselves back at home where they are 4-2 so far this season. Although the Coyotes have won a few games, they aren't a team that is going to make any noise at all this season. With Rasmus Dahlin potentially coming back for this game, I expect Buffalo to have no problem with their home fans behind them on Tuesday. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Sabres. | |||||||
11-07-22 | Ravens -165 v. Saints | Top | 27-13 | Win | 100 | 176 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ravens ML I like the Baltimore Ravens to win this game against the New Orleans Saints on Monday. Fresh off their 24-0 victory against the Raiders last weekend, the Saints will most likely have a bunch of confidence coming into this one. However, their record is still 3-5. That is definitely an underperforming division at the moment, with the Falcons somehow leading it. For the Ravens, they lead one of the toughest divisions in all of football with the defending AFC Champs right on their heals. Lamar Jackson, the former MVP, has been outstanding yet again this season. In their win against the Buccaneers on TNF, Jackson was able to win even without his favorite target in Mark Andrews for most of the game. I'm expecting the Ravens to show up on MNF, and for those extra days of rest/practice from TNF to MNF to help for Baltimore here. Give me the Ravens. T.M. Prediction: 24-13 Ravens. | |||||||
11-07-22 | Blues v. Bruins -175 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 20 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Boston Bruins I like the Boston Bruins to win this game against the St Louis Blues on Monday. The Bruins come into this game off of one of their first losses of the year against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday. Ullmark who's now 8-1-0 will be back between the posts as well. On the other hand, the Blues have really struggled to open up the season. after starting a perfect 3-0, they are now just 3-6. I expect the Bruins to bounce back with a win here at home, and for the Blues to struggle once again on Monday. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Bruins. | |||||||
11-05-22 | Alabama -12.5 v. LSU | Top | 31-32 | Loss | -110 | 126 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Alabama Crimson Tide I like the Alabama Crimson Tide to win this game against the Louisiana State Tigers on Saturday. After Alabama shockingly lost against the Tennessee Volunteers two weeks ago, they came back out and showed the world that they still want that playoff spot last week against Mississippi State. They held the Bulldogs to just 6 points and Bryce Young looked very confident in there. Now, they'll match up against an LSU team that has slowly been climbing up the rankings. The past few years, LSU hasn't really been a match for this Bama team. Although Head Coach Brian Kelly has them playing some good football at the moment, I would take Nick Saban any day of the week. In a must win game against a huge rival, give me the Crimson Tide on ESPN this Saturday. T.M. Prediction: 42-17 Bama. | |||||||
11-03-22 | Predators v. Flames -175 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -175 | 30 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Calgary Flames I like the Calgary Flames to win this game against the Nashville Predators on Thursday. After blowing a 4-2 lead late against the Kraken on Tuesday, the Flames are looking to bounce back in a big way here today against the Predators. Calgary, who lost their best player in Johnny Gaudreau in the offseason might still be just as good as last year, if not better. Their record isn't ridiculous by any means, but Nazem Kadri and Jonathan Huberdeau have been excellent additions to this very talented Flames team. Nashville comes into this one off a 7-4 loss against the Oilers (in a game where I had the Oilers.) Everyone thought that they were going to be a contender this season after their 2-0 start in Prague, but the Predators have now lost 7 of their last 8 games. At home in a game to get them back into the top spots of the Pacific Division, give me the Calgary Flames in this one. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Flames | |||||||
11-02-22 | Astros -1.5 v. Phillies | Top | 5-0 | Win | 163 | 19 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Astros -1.5 I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday. Off yesterday's 7-0 loss, the Astros look to bounce back in Game 4 to even the series back up. Javier will get the start for Houston, who dominated in his last start against the Yankees. On the other hand, Nola will start once again of the Phillies. Although they won game 1, Nola got rocked and gave up 5 runs in just 4.1 innings. I'm expecting a big game from the Astros who came into this series as the favorite. Give me Houston, -1.5 as I expect a bunch of runs from the 2017 champs in this one. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Astros. | |||||||
11-02-22 | Penguins v. Sabres OVER 6.5 | Top | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 27 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Penguins/Sabres OVER I am on the OVER in the Pittsburgh Penguins vs Buffalo Sabres game on Wednesday. Fresh off an 8-3 victory against the Red Wings on Monday, the Sabres come into this game with all the confidence in the world. Tage Thompson has been lights out, and he showed what he is capable of doing in that game as he finished with 3 goals and 3 assists. On the other hand, the Penguins have now lost four straight games. They are in need of a great performance and will lean on Superstar Sidney Crosby to dig them out of this massive whole. However, they still own a .500 record despite the losing streak. Pittsburgh is also averaging 3.56 goals per game, while getting 37.2 shots on goal each game. I expect this to be a back and forth game with multiple goals in every period. Give me the OVER. T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Pens. (Posted before Penguins game on Tues.) | |||||||
11-02-22 | Western Michigan +4.5 v. Bowling Green | Top | 9-13 | Win | 100 | 26 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Western Michigan I like the Western Michigan Broncos to win this game against the Bowling Green Falcons on Wednesday. Last week, we saw an excellent Broncos defense hold a Miami OH offense to just 10 points on the road. Bowling Green also come in off a win, but stat wise, the Falcons don't really have anything to be ecstatic for. They rank just 208th in the country in rushing yards per game, and are giving a up a total of 456 total yards per game to their opponents. Although it's a conference game, and BGSU is at home, I like WMU to win this game outright in a huge game to get them back in the bowl conversation. T.M. Prediciton: 28-18 WMU. | |||||||
11-01-22 | Predators v. Oilers -168 | Top | 4-7 | Win | 100 | 32 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers I like the Edmonton Oilers to win this game against the Nashville Predators on Tuesday. The Oilers are starting to heat up and they are putting the rest of the NHL on notice. Off four straight wins against quality opponents, Edmonton finds themselves back at home in a great spot against the Predators. Although Nashville has won three games this season, two of them come against the Sharks in the Prague games to open up the season. In their last six meetings against each other, the Oilers have won each of them. Nashville is also only just 1-5 in their last six games played on the road. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl should have excellent games once again here and the Oilers should have no problem winning this one quite comfortably. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Oilers. | |||||||
10-30-22 | Packers +11.5 v. Bills | Top | 17-27 | Win | 100 | 151 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Green Bay Packers I like the Green Bay Packers to cover the spread against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night. Off another disappointing week for Green Bay, the Packers find themselves just 3-4 on the season. Aaron Rodgers hasn't been awful, the wide receivers just haven't really given him any help. Whether it's dropping passes or just getting separation, it's been tough for the guys in Green and Yellow. For the Bills, their only loss this year came against the Dolphins in week 3. They're coming off their bye and should be fully focussed on this game. However, in their last meeting against each other (back in 2018,) the Packers shut them out with a 22-0 victory. This is a tough task nowadays to come play in Buffalo on Sunday Night, but Aaron Rodgers has done it all and I expect him to be ready for this Primetime game with a lot on the line. The line is way too big and I wouldn't even be surprised if the Packers pulled of the big upset here in this one. T.M. Prediction: 34-33 Bills | |||||||
10-29-22 | Pittsburgh v. North Carolina OVER 63 | Top | 24-42 | Win | 100 | 127 h 20 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pitt/UNC OVER I am on the OVER in the Pittsburgh Panthers vs North Carolina Tar Heels game on Saturday. UNC brings a dominant 6-1 record into this matchup on Saturday. The Tar Heels have played some excellent football over the past few weeks, led by their highly explosive offense. While they may be able to score the ball a ton, their defense has been awful this year. They are allowing 488.1 total yards per game and 32.4 ppg so far though 7 games. Although this hasn't really hurt them because their offense has been so good, it has caused for some very high scoring games. Pittsburgh has one of the best rushing attacks in the nation. Israel Abanikanda is very sound and he's about to pass the 1000 mark already after this game. With Pitt's offense not being bad at all, and the UNC offense being outstanding, I'm expecting fireworks on Saturday in this game. T.M. Prediction: 39-34 UNC. | |||||||
10-29-22 | Maple Leafs v. Kings +1.5 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 20 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Kings +1.5 I like the Los Angeles Kings to win this game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday. Off their 6-4 loss against the Jets, the Kings are just 4-5-0 on the new season. LA has been struggling a bit on the defensive end, but their offense looks very pure. So far this season, they rank 4th in face-off win percentage with a 54.6% win rate. They've also now scored 11 goals in their last 3 games. The Maple Leafs come in off back to back losses to the Golden Knights and Sharks. They haven't looked too sharp either, especially on the road. I expect the home team to keep this one close and end up pulling out on top in this big game for both teams. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Kings. | |||||||
10-28-22 | Rockets v. Blazers OVER 228.5 | Top | 111-125 | Win | 100 | 28 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rockets/Blazers OVER I am on the OVER in the Houston Rockets vs Portland Trail Blazers game on Friday. Both of these two teams are very offensive minded and don't have the greatest defenses. Although the Portland TraiL Blazers will be without Damien Lillard for a week or two, they still have really good offense with Simons, Nurkic and Grant. The Rockets run their fast face offense pretty much throughout the game and look to get their youngsters lots of time with the ball. Expect a back and forth high scoring game here tonight. T.M. Prediction: 119-110 Blazers. | |||||||
10-28-22 | Phillies v. Astros -154 | Top | 6-5 | Loss | -154 | 98 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. With a long break in between games, both teams will come into this game well rested. Houston has not lost a game this playoffs so far after sweeping both the Mariners and the Yankees in the ALDS and ALCS. Now, they'll face a Philadelphia team that has been red hot at the plate. Justin Verlander will get the start for Houston this Friday. He will join superstar Roger Clemens as one of two pitchers to ever start a World Series game in three separate decades. In his last meeting against the Phillies, Verlander was nearly perfect. He went 5 innings, gave up no hits, walked just one, while striking out 10 in a win. Now, he'll face them again in the biggest series of baseball. The Phillies will lean to Aaron Nola, a 29 year old who's been lights out all season long. Even though his postseason numbers still look sharp, the righty was picked apart by the Braves in his last start. He went just 4.2 innings, while giving up six earned runs in a loss. I expect Verlander to dominate and for the Astros to win the first game of the World Series of 2022. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Astros. | |||||||
10-27-22 | Capitals v. Stars -115 | Top | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 25 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Stars I like the Dallas Stars to win this game against the Washington Capitals on Thursday. Dallas has now lost back to back games after starting the year off with a dominant 4-0-1 record. Now, they'll face a Capitals team who's looked up and down so far this year. Although the Capitals come in with a 4-3 record, they've already lost to teams like the Senators this year. At home, expect Dallas to find a way to get back in the winning column here. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Stars. | |||||||
10-27-22 | Ravens v. Bucs +1.5 | Top | 27-22 | Loss | -108 | 75 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Tampa. I like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win this game against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday. Off back to back losses to the Panthers and Falcons, Tom Brady must be furious. The GOAT has now fallen to 3-4 after un-retiring this offseason. Now the Bucs may not be as complete as last seasons team, as they are battling with injuries all over the field, but they are still good enough to win many ball games. The Ravens come into this TNF matchup with a 4-3 record. Baltimore has been up and down all season long and could win or lose any game this year. After a win this season so far, the Ravens have lost each time. Lamar Jackson has been solid, but he has turned the ball over 6 times already while Brady has only had 1 INT. I expect the best player to ever play the game to find a way to win on Thursday Night in a "must-win" game with a game against the defending champs next week. T.M. Prediction: 31-20 Buccaneers. | |||||||
10-25-22 | Warriors +3 v. Suns | Top | 105-134 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors I like the Golden State Warriors to win this game against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday. The Warriors come into this game off a big win against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday. GSW scored 89 points in the first half and looked pretty unstoppable during that game. With snipers like Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Jordan Poole, and Andrew Wiggins, this team is hard to stop for anybody in the league. The Suns come in off a win as well against the Clippers. Booker was the main focus during that game as Chris Paul and a few of the other guys were struggling to find their rhythm. Looking at this matchup, they both love their shooting and they both have excellent ball movement. Both of these teams rank in the top 5 in assists per game (Suns - #4 / Warriors #2.) Although Phoenix is at home, the Warriors just look too deadly at the moment. I'll gladly take the points with the defending champs here. T.M. Prediction: 114-108 Warriors. | |||||||
10-24-22 | Bears +9 v. Patriots | Top | 33-14 | Win | 100 | 176 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Bears I like the Chicago Bears to cover the spread in this game against the New England Patriots on Monday. Last week, the Bears were inches away from winning their TNF game against the Commanders. They were stopped twice on the goaline in that game and most definitely should have won. Although they now are just 2-4 on the year, they still have one of the league's best rushing attacks. They average 170.8 rushing yards per game, with Justin Fields, Davis Montgomery and Khalil Herbert. The Patriots went off last week against the Browns in a big upset. Although they have won back to back games quite easily, they are not a team that will put up fireworks every single week. This Bears defense should be strong enough, especially on Monday Night with everyone watching, to keep this game close. I wouldn't even be surprised if they pulled of the win. T.M. Prediction: 19-16 Patriots. | |||||||
10-24-22 | Penguins v. Oilers OVER 6.5 | Top | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 19 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Penguins/Oilers OVER I am on the OVER in the Edmonton Oilers vs Pittsburgh Penguins game on Monday. The Oilers come into this game needing a win. A 2-3 start for a team that is trying to make a run in the playoffs this season is not going to cut it especially with guys like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on your team. Other than their last game against the Blues when they lost 2-0 in an embarrassing game, the Oilers and their opponents have averaged 7.25 goals per game. On the other hand, the Penguins have been pretty dominant this season with a 4-0-1 record. Pittsburgh has scored six goals in four of their 5 games and I expect them to light up the score sheet again. Don't be shocked to see even more goals than prediction here. T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Oilers. | |||||||
10-22-22 | UCLA +6.5 v. Oregon | Top | 30-45 | Loss | -110 | 134 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UCLA I like the UCLA Bruins to win this game against the Oregon Ducks on Saturday. UCLA enters this game still perfect. They've beaten teams that many people thought they were going to struggle against, including wins against Utah and Washington. QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson has definitely been a "heisman" candidate so far as he's thrown for 1510 yards with 15TDs and just 2INTs, while adding 4 more TDs on the ground. He's got an extremely talented RB in Zach Charbonnet, and two excellent WRs in Kazmeir Allen and Jake Bobo to rely on. Looking at their offense, they are averaging 41.5 ppg which ranks them tied for 12th in the country. If they ever get to a third down, their conversion rate is 54.8% which ties them for 10th in the nation. Looking at Oregon, they've also looked very strong ever since their blowout loss against UGA in week 1. Even though they've got 5 wins this season, their wins aren't nearly as impressive as the Bruins' wins. Oregon loves to run the ball and UCLA has one of the best run defenses in college football. Although both teams are coming off a bye, I expect the Bruins to shock the world once again in a must-win situation for both of these teams. T.M. Prediction: 44-38 UCLA | |||||||
10-22-22 | Belal Muhammad +125 v. Sean Brady | Top | 1-0 | Win | 125 | 46 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Belal Muhammad I like Belal Muhammad to win this fight against Sean Brady on Saturday. Although Muhammad is the slight underdog, he is still an excellent fighter. In his no contest against the now champion Leon Edwards, he was backing him up and was possibly even winning that fight at the time of the incident. In each of his last fights he's just been all over his opponent from the opening round. I expect Brady to take him a bit lightly and for Muhammad to shock the world on Saturday. T.M. Prediction: 3rd Round Submission - Muhammad. | |||||||
10-21-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Avalanche OVER 6.5 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -119 | 20 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Kraken/Avalanche OVER I am on the OVER in the Seattle Kraken vs Colorado Avalanche game on Friday. Coming off an OT loss against the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday, the Avalanche are hungry to get back in the winning column. Although the Kraken have lost four games, they've still been scoring in those game. In those four losses so far this year, they've scored 10 goals. The Avalanche have won of the most loaded offenses in the NHL so I have no doubt that they will score many goals in this game. Take the OVER. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Avs. | |||||||
10-21-22 | Jazz v. Wolves -8.5 | Top | 132-126 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Timberwolves I like the Minnesota Timberwolves to win this game against the Utah Jazz on Friday. While both of these two teams won in their opening games, the TWolves have the much more talented team in this matchup. Utah somehow beat the Nuggets in a blowout victory to start the year. Although they looked like a decent team, they are in rebuild mode and I do not expect them to win that many games this year. Minnesota, on the other hand, picked up former Jazz player Rudy Gobert this offseason. The "twin towers" in Rudy and Towns should dominate this Utah team in Gobert's first matchup against his old team. Give me the Timberwolves. T.M. Prediction: 124-92 TWolves. | |||||||
10-21-22 | Padres -1.5 v. Phillies | Top | 2-4 | Loss | -100 | 26 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Padres -1.5 I like the San Diego Padres to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. With the day off on Thursday, both teams will have a rested bullpen in this game. Joe Musgrove has been lights out for the Padres this October, as he's only allowed three earned runs in his last 35 innings pitched. For the Phillies, they have been pretty lucky all playoffs so far that their bats have been lighting up the scoreboard. With the Padres' ace on the mound in this game, I expect them to have a bit of trouble finding that scoreboard on this one. Expect SD to grab their home field advantage back in this one. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Padres. | |||||||
10-20-22 | Saints v. Cardinals -1.5 | Top | 34-42 | Win | 100 | 28 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Arizona Cardinals I like the Arizona Cardinals to win this game against the New Orleans Saints on Thursday. Both of these two teams have been a disappointment so far this season. Although the Cards have struggled, they have some good news coming into this week. DeAndre Hopkins, one of the best Wide Receivers in the entire league, will play his first game of the season on Thursday. He has been QB Kyler Murray's favorite target ever since Murray was drafted. They will also have WR Robbie Anderson play his first game for the team, who just got traded to them from the Panthers. Looking at the Saints, they have really struggled on the defensive side of the ball. NO has given up 26.3 ppg, which is 29th in the NFL. Andy Dalton will get the start at QB once again, and he hasn't really provided them with anything special. Alvin Kamara should have a solid game, as he is the superstar for the team, but I expect this Cardinals defense to be a bit difficult for the Saints offense in this one. T.M. Prediction: 31-23 Cards. | |||||||
10-20-22 | Ducks v. Bruins -1.5 | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 27 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bruins -1.5 I like the Boston Bruins to win this game against the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday. Boston comes into this game off a shocking loss to the Ottawa Senators last time out. Although they lost, they still put up 5 goals. Now, against Anaheim, they'll have Linus Ullmark back in between the posts, who's got a 2-0-0 record this year. In 4 games this season, Boston has scored 21 goals. I don't expect them to keep that up all year, but they are looking very strong on the offensive side this season. Looking at the Ducks, they have really struggled this season. They started their year off with an OT win against the Kraken, but Anaheim now has dropped 3 games in a row, while giving up 17 goals in those games. Boston has been winning 57.8% of face-offs so far this year as well, which makes them the best team in hockey. That will help them win a lot of games if they keep that up. Expect the Bruins to come out hungry off their first loss, especially with them back at home on Thursday. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Bruins. | |||||||
10-20-22 | Leeds United v. Leicester OVER 2.5 | Top | 0-2 | Loss | -135 | 20 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Leeds/Leicester OVER I am on the OVER in the Leicester City vs Leeds United game on Thursday. Although these teams have been pretty sluggish so far this season, both teams can allow a lot of goals. Earlier this season, Leeds allowed 5 goals to a Brentford team that is just 3-5-3. For Leicester, them are their opponents have combined for 22 goals in their last 5 games. With GK Kasper Schmeichel this year, Leicester has been struggling a lot. They still have loads of talent in their lineup though with guys like James Maddison, Youri Tielemans, Patson Daka and Harvey Barnes. I'm expecting a lot of goals in this matchup as both of these teams try to climb a little bit closer to the middle of the pack. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Leicester City. | |||||||
10-19-22 | Nuggets -7.5 v. Jazz | Top | 102-123 | Loss | -115 | 34 h 43 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Denver Nuggets I like the Denver Nuggets to win this game against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. Utah is not going to be good this year. Everyone knows that. Although they went to the playoffs last year, the Jazz lost their two best players in Donavan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert. Many thought they were going to keep one of them, but they ended up trading both, in what looks to be a full rebuild of the organization. The Nuggets, who also went to the postseason last year, will have star PG Jamal Murray back in action to start this season. Murray did not play a single game last season, and he should be a huge help for this Nuggets team that will be complete with him back. The reigning MVP Nikola Jokic is ready to dominate once again and wants to go back to back. Expect a huge performance from the home team on Opening Night for these teams. T.M. Prediction: 121-96 Nuggets | |||||||
10-18-22 | 76ers +4 v. Celtics | Top | 117-126 | Loss | -110 | 200 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia 76ers. I like the Philadelphia 76ers to win this game against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday. Opening night means two tremendous matchups. Starting the season off, Philly will travel to Boston to take on the 2021-22 Eastern Conference Champs. An up and down offseason saw Boston lose their head coach yet again. Now they'll have Joe Mazulla, last season's assistant, take over as the interim head coach. The 76ers worked hard all offseason to build James Harden and Joel Embiid's connection with each other. They will be a much improved duo that might take over the entire league this season. With the Celtics having been the East's best team last season, I expect them to come out a bit shaky with so much pressure to be the same this year. Philly has nothing to worry about except for proving to the league how good their team really is. Expect an upset on Opening Night. T.M. Prediction: 107-101 76ers. | |||||||
10-18-22 | Flyers v. Lightning -1.5 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 30 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Lightning -1.5 I like the Tampa Bay Lightning to win this game against the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday. The defending Eastern Conference Champs have struggled a bit to open up the season. They bring a 1-2 record into this matchup, but they'll be at home for the first time this season here. Tampa Bay still has their main core of superstars including Steven Stamkos, Nikita Kucherov, Brayden Point, Victor Hedman and Andrei Vasilevskiy, so I have no doubt that they will turn it around and finish the year off with another playoff berth. The Flyers, on the other hand, somehow bring a perfect record into their first game on the road this year. Last season, Philadelphia was only 25-46-11. This year, they aren't supposed to be good either. The Lightning were 51-23-8 Now, the two will face in a big spot. If the Lightning are to win this game, which they should, they will be right back in it. With a loss, they'll start the season 1-3, which is a bad sign for every team. Expect the "dynasty" of the last few seasons to dominate in their home opener. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Lightning. | |||||||
10-16-22 | Cowboys v. Eagles -5 | Top | 17-26 | Win | 100 | 165 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Eagles I like the Philadelphia Eagles to win this game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Dallas just finds a way to keep winning with Cooper Rush. However, I am not a Cooper Rush fan and I expect this very talented Eagles team to hand him his first career NFL loss. Philly comes into this game perfect themselves, which makes them the last remaining undefeated team in the NFL. QB Jalen Hurts has been magnificent as this offense is firing on all cylinders. Defense has also been a huge part in the Eagles success. Led by Darius Slay, the secondary has allowed only 189.4 passing yards per game on them. Looking at Dallas, they are more of a run/checkdown team with Rush behind center. Rush only had 10 completions last week, and they still beat the defending champs by double digits. But, this Eagles defensive line is also stacked with talent and has the ability to completely shut down the running game as well. I expect a low scoring first half, with the Eagles pulling away in the 2nd as they look to keep their perfect record alive. T.M. Prediction: 29-13 Eagles. | |||||||
10-15-22 | San Jose State -6 v. Fresno State | Top | 10-17 | Loss | -110 | 149 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: San Jose State I like the San Jose State Spartans to win this game against the Fresno State Bulldogs on Saturday. Off last week's 20pt defeat against Boise St, Fresno has now lost 4 straight games, including a very bad one to UCONN in week five. I know their starting QB Jake Haener has been out, but without him they've been absolutely horrendous. For SJSU, they have a very good defense. They rank 17th in the country in passing yards allowed per game. They've also put up 33+ pts in their last 3 games. QB Chevan Cordeiro has been excellent, throwing the ball for 1308 yards with 6TDs and no turnovers so far this season (12 total TDs.) Last week's win has the Spartans on a perfect 5-0 ATS run in October. They are also 6-2 ATS against conference opponents. On the other hand, the Bulldogs are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games played. With Jake Haener week-to-week, I don't expect him to play in this game, which should spark this confident San Jose State team. T.M. Prediction: 38-18 Spartans. | |||||||
10-14-22 | Dodgers -115 v. Padres | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -115 | 26 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers I like the Los Angeles Dodgers to win this game against the San Diego Padres on Friday. Off the Game 2 loss, the team with the best record in baseball will look to bounce back on Friday. Tony Gonsolin (16-1, 2.14 ERA) was one of the best pitchers in the majors this season and he'll get the nod here. His record and ERA speak for themselves. But, he might not go too far into this game as he's only pitched twice since August 23rd. If he doesn't go too far, I expect them to lean to Tyler Anderson or another starter to get them deep into this game. Anderson was also incredible this year. The Dodgers are 54-27 on the road this season, while the Padres are only 44-37 at home. After a loss this season, the Dodgers are 33-18. For the Padres, they'll have Blake Snell (8-10, 3.38 ERA) on the mound on Friday. He's already pitched this postseason, when he gave up 2 earned runs in just 3.1 innings against the Mets in a 7-3 loss. Expect the Dodgers to light him up here in Game 3 to get home field advantage back in the favor of LA. T.M. Prediction: 7-4 Dodgers. | |||||||
10-12-22 | Phillies v. Braves -123 | Top | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 29 h 35 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday. Off a huge Game 1 loss to open up the series, the Braves will need to bounce back with a win here in Game 2. They have got to treat this like an elimination game, because if they don't they'll have to win both games in Philly to survive. Kyle Wright (21-5, 3.19 ERA) has been dominant this season for Atlanta. He hasn't lost a game since July, and his record is one of the best in the majors. The last time he faced this Phillies team, he went 7 innings while giving up just 1 earned run on 3 hits in a 4-1 win. On the other hand, the Phillies will have Zack Wheeler (12-7, 2.82 ERA) pitching for them. Wheeler has also been very reliable as of late, but I expect the Braves to crack him open here in this one. Expect the Braves fans to help them in this crucial Game 2. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Braves. | |||||||
10-12-22 | Maple Leafs v. Canadiens +1.5 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 31 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Montreal Canadiens I like the Montreal Canadiens to win this game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday. Although Toronto is a big favorite, I believe that the Canadiens have what it takes to upset them in this one. The Maple Leafs will be without John Tavares to open the year up, and look to be not in their best form. Montreal picked up Juraj Slafkovsky with the number 1 pick in the draft, so I expect him to make some noise in this one. Montreal might not win this game, but they'll keep it close in what should be a very competitive/high scoring opening matchup for both of these two Canadian teams. Back the home team here. T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Canadiens. | |||||||
10-09-22 | Cowboys v. Rams -4 | Top | 22-10 | Loss | -110 | 125 h 53 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Rams I like the Los Angeles Rams to win against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Off last week's very disappointing performance against the San Francisco 49ers, the defending champs will look to bounce back once again against "America's team" on Sunday. LA haven't really looked like the best team in football from a year ago so far this season, but I expect a huge performance here today. Dallas will start Cooper Rush, who surprisingly has never lost a game as a starter for the Cowboys. Having said that, this will most definitely be the toughest defense he has ever played against. Cooper Kupp, who everyone knows is one of the best WR's in football, is averaging 100+ yards per game this season on 42 catches. Stafford has been trying to give him the ball as much as possible and if he catches it, it sure is a nightmare for the opposing team. Off their loss in week 1, the Rams bounced back and beat the Falcons. Expect them to bounce back again here today. T.M. Prediction: 26-13 Rams. | |||||||
10-08-22 | Oregon -12.5 v. Arizona | Top | 49-22 | Win | 100 | 127 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oregon Ducks I like the Oregon Ducks to win this game against the Arizona Wildcats on Saturday. Since losing to Georgia in week 1, Oregon has looked very strong. In their last game against Stanford, QB Bo Nix was tremendous, throwing for 161 and 2 TDs, with 141 on the ground and 2 more TDs. He's now got 1261 passing yards on the year with 12 TDs and just 3 INTs. Plus he's got 5 more TDs on the ground. Arizona on the other hand, just beat a very bad Colorado team. Although they won by 23, their defense was not that good in the win. The week prior to that, they were picked apart by Cal-Berkeley who are not nearly as strong as this Oregon side. Dating back a few seasons now, the Wildcats are only 2-18 in their last 20 games played against Pac-12 opponents. Oregon though, is 8-2 in their last 10 played against conference opponents as well. AZ has sort of just jumped out of the sky, passing all game to try and keep up with these teams. I expect this game to be high scoring, but for the Ducks to stay undefeated in conference play here in week 6. Give me Oregon on Saturday Night. T.M. Prediction: 47-24 Ducks. | |||||||
10-07-22 | Mariners v. Blue Jays -134 | Top | 4-0 | Loss | -134 | 40 h 4 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays I like the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game against the Seattle Mariners on Friday. It's playoff time, and Toronto fans are hoping for another great playoff story. With this "first to win two games" series being played all in Canada, the Jays should have a real good shot here in this round. Alek Manoah (16-7, 2.24 ERA,) has been their ace all season long and his numbers show it. He's now had back to back shutout starts (13 total innings pitched,) while giving up just 6 hits and striking out 12 in that span. Manoah has never had a postseason start in the Majors, but it feels like this is the right time for him. He'll be up against Luis Castillo (8-6, 2.99 ERA,) on of the Mariners better pitchers himself. He's allowed 10 earned runs in his last 3 starts though and he's now going to go up against a very high-powered Blue Jays lineup filled with stars. Castillo hasn't been in a playoff situation either, but the 29 year old just got traded this trade deadline, so now he'll finally get the opportunity on a better team. I think the Jays will just be too much to handle, especially in game 1 with Manoah on the mound. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Blue Jays | |||||||
10-07-22 | Sharks v. Predators -165 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 361 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nashville Predators I like the Nashville Predators to win this game against the San Jose Sharks on Friday. Opening Night in Prague, everyone will have some jitters. Last season, the Predators made the playoffs, but were quickly swept 4-0 against the 2021 champions in the Colorado Avalanche. Nashville was great all season long, and now they've added some important guys to their team that could just make them a contender come the playoffs this season. Ryan McDonagh and Nino Niederreiter are very talented and will be very good adds to this already talented Predators team. On the other hand, the Sharks are coming off a semi-disappointing 32-37-13, 77 point season. With this game not being in San Jose, and with Nashville just being the better team overall, I like their chances here on Opening Night. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Predators. | |||||||
10-04-22 | Rockies v. Dodgers -1.5 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -150 | 23 h 56 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers -1.5 I like the Los Angeles Dodgers to win this game against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday. The Dodgers have been one of the best teams in baseball all season long, and I don't expect that to change here as they look to finish their season off on a high note. With just two games left in the regular season, LA sits firmly in the driver seat of the National League right now. They've secured home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Today, they'll have one of their many great pitchers on the mound in Julio Urias (17-1, 2.12 ERA.) Urias has been tremendous, just like last season. After his last start, that saw him go 6 innings, in a 0 run performance, he now has the NL's lowest ERA. Julio hasn't allowed more than 2 runs in 13 straight starts. For the Rockies, they'll have Ryan Feltner (3-9, 6.01 ERA) starting for them in this one. Feltner is off a game where he allowed 5 earned runs in just 6 innings against the Giants. He's been pretty bad on the road as well as he's allowed 26 earned runs in his last 7 outings on the road. Knowing that the Dodgers have already lost in this series to the Rockies, I don't expect that to happen again on Tuesday. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Dodgers | |||||||
10-04-22 | Barcelona FC -121 v. Inter Milan | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -121 | 16 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Barcelona I like FC Barcelona to win this game against FC Internazionale Milano on Tuesday. Both of these two teams come into this huge game with a 1-0-1 (w-d-l) record, both having lost to Bayern Munich. After failing to reach the knockout stage two years ago, Barca was forced to play in the UEL instead of the UCL last season. They'll not want to repeat that again this year. FCB has also been dominant lately, other than the game against Bayern. They've won 5 straight La Liga games, while outscoring their opponents 19-1 in that span. On the other hand, Inter Milan have lost back to back Seria A games. On Saturday AS Roma was too good on the offensive side for them. After going up 1-0 early, they weren't able to contain them. I expect Barca to put everything on the line on Tuesday, to make sure they are firmly in second place in the group after match-day 3. Give me the Spaniards. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Barca. | |||||||
10-02-22 | Bills v. Ravens OVER 51.5 | Top | 23-20 | Loss | -105 | 97 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bills/Ravens OVER I am on the OVER in the Buffalo Bills vs Baltimore Ravens game on Sunday. The Bills come into this game hungrier than ever after last week divisional loss against the Dolphins. Offensive Coordinator Ken Dorsey was not happy whatsoever, and I expect him to have some bombs ready this weekend to take out his anger. The Bills secondary is also not at full strength for this one. Micah Hyde out for the year, Tre White still out, Xavier Rhodes out, Ed Oliver is questionable. I'm expecting this to be an offensive shootout. Buffalo has seen the total go OVER in 13 of their last 20 games played on the road, dating back a few seasons. The Ravens also love high scoring games. Especially against teams from the AFC. They've seen the total go OVER in 4 of their last 6 against teams from this conference. Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. What more could you ask for. Sit back and watch them both. put on a masterclass this Sunday. T.M. Prediction: 34-28 Bills. | |||||||
10-01-22 | Oklahoma State +2.5 v. Baylor | Top | 36-25 | Win | 100 | 120 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oklahoma State I like the Oklahoma State Cowboys to win this game against the Baylor Bears on Saturday. Entering the season and looking at the schedules of these teams, both of them were expecting to be undefeated for this matchup. Baylor, however, lost a tight game against BYU in week 2, and comes in with a single loss. Although QB Blake Shapen look decent last week against ISU, he is only averaging 193.3 passing yards per game. On the other hand, Cowboys' QB Spencer Saunders is averaging 300+ passing yards per game and has a 10-1 TD-INT ratio. Looking at OKST's schedule, they starting off a bit shaky against Central Michigan, but each week, they are looking stronger and stronger. In their last 7 games against teams ranked in the AP Top 25, Oklahoma State is 6-1. The Cowboys also rank #1 in the country in points per game this season with 51.7. If they get off to an early lead, I expect them to have no problem closing it out as they are 116-13 under HC Mike Gundy, when they have a lead at halftime. I also believe that the 2 weeks to prepare for this Bears team is going to make a huge difference in the outcome of this game. Ride 'em Cowboys. T.M. Selection: 26-23 OKST. | |||||||
09-30-22 | Tulane v. Houston OVER 54 | Top | 27-24 | Loss | -110 | 80 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Tulane/Houston OVER I am on the OVER in the Tulane Green Wave vs Houston Cougars game on Friday. Both of these two teams come into this hungry for more wins. Although Tulane's defense has been one of the best in the country to start the year, the games against UMASS and Alcorn St play a huge part in that. They still give up 125+ rushing yards per game, and struggled against Southern Miss last week in defending the medium-long ball. Houston, a team that many thought would be excellent this season, are off to a shaky start. Although they won last time out, they have one of the nations worst defenses. Averaging a total of 458.3 yards per game given up has came back to haunt the Cougars in two of their games already this year. They have seen more than 60 points combined with their opponents in each of their first 4 games of the year. Looking at the stats, and seeing how these teams come into this game have me 50/50 on the side here. Either team could win this game but I expect both of them to turn up the scoring in the second half to win this OVER pretty comfortably here. T.M. Prediction: 34-31 Houston | |||||||
09-26-22 | Cowboys v. Giants | Top | 23-16 | Loss | -125 | 20 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: NY Giants I like the New York Giants to win this game against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday. Surprisingly, the Giants come into this game with a perfect 2-0 record through two games. Sequin Barkley, who many thought was done making big plays, is back and looks better than ever this season In the first two games, he's 236 rushing yards, 46 receiving yards, and a touchdown. Now the Giants may not have the best team in the world, but they are playing with the mentality to win, and that goes a long way. Dallas, who will be without their QB Dak Prescott for the second straight week, is off a very shocking upset against the defending AFC Champs last week. The Bengals just looked like they couldn't find anything in the loss. But, Dallas might also be without TE Dalton Schultz, who has been a key to their success recently. Expect the Giants to come away with the win here, especially at home in Primetime! T.M. Prediction: 20-16 Giants | |||||||
09-25-22 | Rams -3.5 v. Cardinals | Top | 20-12 | Win | 100 | 74 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Los Angeles Rams I like the Los Angeles Rams to win this game against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. The Rams come into this game off a huge week 2 victory against the Falcons. Starting a season 0-2 is a not something that any team wants to do, especially the defending champs. LA looked a lot more comfortable in their offense last week as well. Matt Stafford, with the new addition of Allen Robinson this past offseason, passed for 272 yards and 3 TDs last week. It helps that he has two reliable running backs as well. Don't forget about the Super Bowl MVP in Cooper Krupp, who can absolutely torch defenses on a daily basis. Looking at the Cardinals, they barely escape last weeks game after coming from behind late against the Raiders. Although they ended up on the winning side of that game, they did not look consistent and there are many things that this Rams defense will be able to capitalize on in this one. They'll score a bit, but expect 2021's champs to pull away late and win by double digits here. T.M. Prediction: 34-22 Rams | |||||||
09-24-22 | Mariners -165 v. Royals | Top | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 27 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners I like the Seattle Mariners to win this game against the Kansas City Royals on Saturday. On the cusp of a playoff berth for the first time 2001, the Seattle Mariners have been struggling a bit lately. Coming into this series against the Royals, Seattle had lost 3 times in four against the Angels, and 2 times in 3 against the A's. Although they have one of the easiest schedules to end off the year with, they still need to be careful in order to keep their wild card position. Today, Logan Gilbert (13-6, 3.13 ERA) will get the start. He's been terrific all year and might be their "go-to" in the playoffs if it comes down to it. In his last four outings, he's only given up two earned runs, while striking out 34 in 23 innings. That's ridiculous. He'll face one of the worst pitchers in the entire league on Saturday. Kris Bubic (2-13, 5.81 ERA) has been dreadful for the Royals all year. The 25 year old southpaw just can't seem to string some wins together. In back-to-back outings, he's given up 5 earned runs. He hasn't "won" a game since mid July. You have got to feel for the guy. His last meeting with the Mariners, he went just 2 innings, while giving up 7 hits and 5 earned runs. With the Seattle Mariners needing to keep winning, and the matchup here, I fully expect them to handle this game with no problem on Saturday. M's in a BLOWOUT! T.M. Prediction: 8-2 Mariners. | |||||||
09-24-22 | Georgia Tech v. Central Florida -20 | Top | 10-27 | Loss | -110 | 76 h 56 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UCF Knights. I like the Central Florida Knights to win this game against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Saturday. Although they had a tough defeat against Louisville in week 2, the Knights have looked very sharp here to open the season. They've got the 10th ranked offence in the country in terms of ypg (541.7) and the 9th best in terms of rushing yards per game (273.) Not to mention they've got one of the best passing defences in the nation as well as they rank 12th in passing ypg. QB John Rhys Plumlee is a bad man. He's already got 778 passing yards, with 304 rushing yards in 3 games. On the other hand, Georgia Tech hasn't looked all that impressive this year. Off a 42-0 blowout loss against Ole Miss, the Yellow Jackets now have one of the worst offences. Their defence is almost as bad. QB Jeff Sims only has 425 passing yards with 1TD and 2INTs on the year. In the Yellow Jackets' last six games, they've failed to cover the spread in each of them. GT is also 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games played against teams from the AAC. I'm expecting an absolute beatdown on ESPNU here on Saturday. Go Knights! T.M. Prediction: 41-10 UCF. | |||||||
09-23-22 | Red Sox v. Yankees -1.5 | Top | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 24 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: NY Yankees -1.5 I like the New York Yankees to win this game against the Boston Red Sox on Friday. Aaron Judge. That is the man all eyes will be on in this one. Sitting on 60 HRs, he's looking to pass Roger Maris, which would be an incredible accomplishment. Gerrit Cole (12-7, 3.41 ERA) will start for the Yankees here on Friday. He's been good for most pitchers all year, but not up to his standards. As he looks to pick up his game just in time for the playoffs, this could be a very big momentum boost for the Yankees ace. Now looking at the Red Sox, they'll have Rich Hill (7-7, 4.70 ERA) on the mound. He's been ok all season but hasn't really fared well lately. He's allowed 13 earned runs in his last 4 starts and has yet to see this stacked New York squad this season. I'm expecting a Judge homer to tie Maris, and a Yankees win here today. T.M. Prediction: 8-4 Yankees | |||||||
09-22-22 | Steelers +5 v. Browns | Top | 17-29 | Loss | -115 | 32 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Steelers I like the Pittsburgh Steelers to win this game against the Cleveland Browns on Thursday. Although they played a Patriots team that makes games ugly in order to win, Pittsburgh did not look so good in week 2. Najee Harris needs to be better. He was a top pick in fantasy football this season and has been a disappointment so far. QB Mitch Trubisky should be playing with fire as well as he needs to play his best in order to not get benched. Looking at Cleveland, they are off a heartbreaking loss against the Jets, in a game where they were comfortably ahead with little time remaining. Giving up two TD's and an onside kick in a span of 1 min and 7 seconds is a recipe for disaster for any team. Especially when it costs you the game. I'm expecting the Browns to be a little bit cautious in this game. That will come back to haunt them as this Steelers defense will be all over Jacoby Brissett here on Thursday Night. Steelers upset incoming. T.M. Prediction: 21-20 Steelers | |||||||
09-22-22 | Mariners -1.5 v. A's | Top | 9-5 | Win | 100 | 21 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners -1.5 I like the Seattle Mariners to win this game against the Oakland Athletics on Thursday. Seattle was a bit shook after the 4-1 loss to these A's to open up the series (I had Oakland.) Now, on Thursday, they'll have a much better pitching matchup for them to use to their advantage. George Kirby (7-4, 2.98 ERA) will start for the Mariners here in this one. He's been stellar as of late, as he hasn't given up more than 2 runs in 5 straight starts (4ER total.) In his last outing against Oakland, Kirby went 7 innings, while giving up just 1 run in an easy win. The time before that, he pitched 6 shutout innings against the A's. On the other hand, Oakland has been pretty awful all year. Other than a few of their players, they are pretty much a joke. Adrian Martinez (4-5, 5.77 ERA) has been one of the worst pitchers in all of baseball lately. In his last 2 starts, he's went 8.2 IP, while giving up 18 hits, 11 earned runs and 5 homers. His last time against Seattle, he went 4.2 innings while giving up 7 runs in an 8-6 loss. Expect the Mariners to smoke this guy once again here today. Lay the points as well. T.M. Prediction: 8-3 Mariners | |||||||
09-21-22 | Astros -120 v. Rays | Top | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 24 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. Off yesterday's 5-0 win, the Astros look like they are one of the best teams in baseball, and have a real chance in making it back to the World Series. Today, they'll have Lance McCullers Jr (3-1, 2.34 ERA) on the mound in a big spot. He's been great since returning from injury and has only given up 6 earned runs in his last 4 starts (23.2 IP.) In his last meeting against the Rays, which was last season, he gave up 2 earned runs in a 3-2 win. I expect another good performance from the righty here on Wednesday. Now for the Rays, they are in a tough spot. Trying to grab the best wildcard spot they possibly can, they can't really afford to be losing too many games. Especially with the schedule that the Mariners have remaining. Corey Kluber (10-9, 4.44 ERA) will get the start for Tampa here in this one. He's given up 10 earned runs in his last two starts, and is showing signs of slowing down. Ever since leaving Cleveland, he just hasn't been the same. Give me the Astros again on Wednesday, as they inch closer to that 100 win mark. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Astros | |||||||
09-20-22 | Mariners v. A's +1.5 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 105 | 21 h 28 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oakland A's +1.5 I like the Oakland Athletics to win the game against the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday. These two teams will meet for a fifth time this season in a big series for Seattle. The Mariners, who are trying extremely hard to get the best wildcard spot in the American League, have been struggling a bit as of late. They sit at 81-65, which would clinch them a spot, but not the spot they are hoping for. Luis Castillo (7-5, 2.68 ERA) will take the mound here in this matchup against Oakland. He's been really strong all season, but struggled a bit against the A's in his only meeting against them last month. In 5 innings, he gave up 8 hits and allowed 4 earned runs in a 5-3 loss. That happened to be against JP Sears (5-2, 3.90 ERA,) who will get the start as well in this game. Sears also pitched 5 innings in that outing, but only gave up 1 ER in the win. Today, the A's look to build off what they were able to accomplish against Seattle in their last series and steal one at home on Tuesday. Give me Sears +1.5 runs in this one. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 A's | |||||||
09-19-22 | Diamondbacks +1.5 v. Dodgers | Top | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: D-Backs runline. The Dodgers return hom as NL West Champs to open up an eight-game session at home and I'm expecting a bit of a letdown here. The Dodgers earned their title witha 4-0 win over the D-Backs on Tuesday. Arizona is out for revenge here with its ace on the mound Merrill Kelly, who is 12-6 with a 3.01 ERA. Surprisingly he's out for revenge as well here, as he's 0-8 in 11 lifetime starts vs. LA with a 5.81 ERA. The home side counters with Clayton Kershaw, who is 8-3 with a 2.44 ERA. He's been great, and has enjoyed plenty of success against Arizona in the past, but the bottom line is here that I believe Kelly can match him inning for inning. This is a tough LA line-up, but the stage is set for a bit of a mental letdown here. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Arizona. | |||||||
09-19-22 | Vikings v. Eagles -2 | Top | 7-24 | Win | 100 | 12 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Eagles. We have a couple of 1-0 teams going head-to-head here, but I don't think you can underestimate how important the home field advantage will be in this case. The Vikes beat the Packers 23-7, and Justin Jefferson had a career-high 184 receiving yards and two TD catches. Simply put, I don't expect lightning to "strike twice" here. Winning at home is one thing, but doing the same thing on the road in this difficult venue is something that Minnesota will have to prove to me. Kirk Cousins was sharp, he had 277 passing yards. The defense looked good, but I think the unit takes a step back here facing AJ Brown and the Eagles. Brown had 155 receiving yards in last week's win. All four of Philly's TD's came on the groudn last week. Jalen Hurts rused for one. He had 90 yards on 17 carries, and he also threw for 243 yards. They held Goff to just 205 passing yards. I think Cousins will have difficulty moving the ball as well. Look for Philadelphia to pull away for the comfortable ATS cover and win on Monday night! T.M. Prediction: 28-21 Philly. | |||||||
09-18-22 | Bengals +2.5 v. Cowboys | Top | 17-20 | Loss | -110 | 164 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bengals I like the Cincinnati Bengals to win this game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Joe Burrow was making every Bengals fan pull their hair out in Week 1. I don't think I've ever seen him play that bad and yet, he set them up to win the game not only once, but twice. They would have won last week if they didn't get their PAT blocked to send it to OT, and if their long snapper didn't mess up the snap. But, week 1 is done, and the defending AFC Champs are not going to want to start 0-2 whatsoever. Tee Higgins got knocked out of the game last week with an injury, and most likely will miss this game as well, but that just makes Jamarr Chase and Tyler Boyd hungrier to get yardage. Dallas, who played in the Sunday Night game in week 1, struggled against the run. Leonard Fournette ran wild on them and they were unable to contain the Bucs. The one good thing for them was their 3rd down, and red zone defense. If it wasn't either of those situations, the Bucs were picking them apart. With Joe Burrow off a season where they were a play away from winning the Super Bowl, I just don't see him playing badly in back to back games to start 2022. Expect Who Dey nation to rise to the occasion in Dallas on Sunday. T.M. Prediction: 31-21 Bengals *EDIT: With Prescott now ruled out, the line has climbed considerably. This is still a play on the Bengals up until -7. (I now expect them to win by even more than 10.) | |||||||
09-17-22 | Miami-FL +6 v. Texas A&M | Top | 9-17 | Loss | -110 | 145 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Miami FL (vs. Texas A&M) I like the Miami Florida Hurricanes to win this game against the Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday. Everyone is going to be all over the Aggies in this one after getting upset last week against Appalachian State. There's no way they can be upset again, can they? Well, this Miami FL team is really good. And when I say really good, I mean really really good. Miami comes into this game 2-0. Although both of their first two matchups were a significant mismatch, the Hurricanes look like they are back and ready to make some noise this season. QB Tyler Van Dyke is someone that all eyes should be on here in this game. He can make some huge plays and make them look easy when they really aren't. Also, watch out for WR Xavier Restrepo, who is very reliable, with 199 yards through the first two games. For A&M, they were the buzz of the offseason after their ridiculous recruiting class. Their only problem is that they've got a battle for the QB position, and they are extremely young. I expect the Hurricanes to upset this Aggies team on the road here on Saturday. Even though I personally wouldn't consider it an upset. T.M. Prediction: 34-28 Miami FL Hurricanes. | |||||||
09-15-22 | Chargers v. Chiefs OVER 54 | Top | 24-27 | Loss | -110 | 80 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Kansas City Chiefs/LA Chargers OVER I am on the OVER in the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Los Angeles Chargers game on Thursday. In week 1, the Chiefs looked nearly unstoppable. Everyone thought that they might see a bit of a rough start after losing their #1 WR in Tyreek Hill. But QB Patrick Mahomes is that guy. He is undoubtably a top 3 QB in the world right now, could be #1, and he is doing some magical things out there. Now on Thursday Night, Mahomes and the Chiefs will be taking on a stacked Chargers team that also looked really solid in their opening game. Justin Herbert, another amazingly talented QB, was dropping dimes left and right. These two QBs could very well be your MVP and runner up at the end of the season. Looking at the defences, the Chiefs have lost a lot. Without safety Tyrann Mathieu this season, LA should be able to cook against that secondary. For the Chargers, their defense looked like the D we expected at times, but they still gave up nearly 20 points to a less explosive offense than they are going to see here in this one. With every win being critical in a division like this, expect both of these teams to light up the scoreboard in a highly anticipated week 2 matchup on Thursday Night. T.M. Predcition: 34-31 Chiefs | |||||||
09-15-22 | Rays v. Blue Jays UNDER 7.5 | Top | 11-0 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 38 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Rays/Toronto Blue Jays UNDER I am on the UNDER in the Tampa Bay Rays vs Toronto Blue Jays game on Thursday. These two teams have been going at it all season long, and it'c coming down to the final few weeks to see who will finish ahead of the other. Both of them will start very quality pitchers here in this one. Tampa, who trails them by a game and half (just one game behind the Mariners,) will start their ace in Shane McClanahan (11-5, 2.20 ERA.) He's been excellent all year long and is very much in the AL Cy Young race. In his last start, he went 6 shutout innings while striking out 9. Last time against the Blue Jays, he went 7 innings and only gave up 1 run in a 6-2 win. The Blue Jays will start Kevin Gausman (12-9, 3.31 ERA,) who's been excellent all year long. In his last start against the Rays, he went 8 shutout innings while only giving up 1 hit and striking out 10. In what should be a very competitive game, I'm expecting a pitchers duel on Thursday. Give me the UNDER. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Blue Jays | |||||||
09-14-22 | Rockies v. White Sox -1.5 | Top | 3-0 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox -1.5 I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. After a few winning streaks in a row, the White Sox find themselves slowly getting closer to that last wildcard spot. Their chances are pretty slim, considering the wildcard teams are really hot right now, and they really need some more winning streaks and long ones. However, this is the perfect situation for them. At home, against a weak opponent, with their best pitcher on the mound. Dylan Cease (14-6, 2.06 ERA) has looked like one of the best pitchers in all of baseball at times this year. In his last two starts, he's been nearly un-hittable, allowing just 4 hits in 15 innings pitched. In his last meeting against the Colorado Rockies, dating back to last season, he allowed just one run, while striking out 11 in 5.1 innings. Now, the Rockies will be starting Kyle Freeland (8-9, 4.63 ERA,) a southpaw with a four pitch arsenal. Primarily a fastball/slider pitcher, Freehand has been a bit shaky at times this year. In his last 6 starts, he's given up 18 earned runs. That's an average of three per start, and I'd be shocked if Cease allows that many. With the White Sox needing to string a lot of victories together to end the season, and the Rockies having just won four games in a row last week, I expect Chicago to have no problem winning by more than a run here on Wednesday. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 White Sox. | |||||||
09-13-22 | Royals v. Twins OVER 8 | Top | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 27 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Kansas City Royals/Minnesota Twins OVER I am on the OVER in the Kansas City Royals vs Minnesota Twins game on Tuesday. These pitchers aren't the greatest by any means. Joe Ryan (10-8, 4.05 ERA) has a decent record/era but he's been really struggling as of late. His last two starts have especially been pretty bad. Giving up nine earned runs in just nine innings of work. In his last three starts on the road he's given up 19 earned runs! Now that is what you call miserable. Looking at the Royals, Kris Bubic (2-11, 5.40 ERA) isn't any better. He's given up 19 earned runs in his last 5 starts himself. He's given up at least two earned runs in 7 of his last 8 starts at home. I expect the bats to be jumping all over the ball in this one, especially with a Twins team that really needs to string some wins together. Give me the OVER here in this one. T.M. Prediction: 7-6 Twins | |||||||
09-13-22 | Ajax Amsterdam v. Liverpool OVER 3.5 | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -103 | 21 h 29 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ajax/Liverpool OVER I am on the OVER in the Ajax vs Liverpool game on Tuesday. Liverpool has been a disaster as of late. Losing to Napoli 4-1 on match day 1 is just a "can't happen." Manager, Jurgen Klopp, will have to make some adjustments, and good ones here if LFC wants a chance of making it to the knockout stage. On the other hand, Ajax looked very strong in their opening match. Despite losing Antony, one of their best players, just a few days before their match day 1 game against Rangers, they were still able to win that game very comfortably. They ended up with 4 goals in the back of the net and had a shutout. With Liverpool having the advantage of being at home in this one, and Klopp on the hot seat, I expect them to rise to the occasion and just barely sneaking out on top of the Netherlands club in this one. But expect a highly competitive game that will feature a lot of goals at Anfield. Take the OVER T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Liverpool | |||||||
09-12-22 | Broncos -6 v. Seahawks | Top | 16-17 | Loss | -110 | 151 h 23 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Denver Broncos I like the Denver Broncos to win this game against the Seattle Seahawks on Monday. This offseason, superstar QB Russell Wilson was traded in a blockbuster deal. That deal happened to be between these exact two teams, and they are set to meet in week 1 on Monday Night Football. Although Wilson and his new team will have to head to Seattle and the 12th man, he should have no problem in dealing with the crowd. He will have wideouts Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton to throw to this season, and finally has an excellent backfield to rely on. Looking at Seattle, they will have to start Geno Smith, who has not been great as the start for them. This is a Seahawk team that is in full rebuild mode and wanted a change. I expect them to try and establish the running game, and throw lots of checkdowns against this Broncos defense that is getting pretty scary. With a QB that's finally happy with his new team, give me the Broncos in a blowout in MNF. Broncos Country, Let's Ride! T.M. Prediction: 31-13 Broncos | |||||||
09-11-22 | Packers v. Vikings | Top | 7-23 | Loss | -123 | 123 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Green Bay Packers I like the Green Bay Packers to win this game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. With the loss of superstar WR in Davante Adams, everyone seems to be doubting the Packers this season. People think that the Vikings have a chance to win the division even. Although that loss will hurt, there are some young guns willing to sacrifice and step into the spotlight here this season. Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson, 2 rookies from this past draft, will most likely have a lot on their plate this year. Doubs has looked excellent in preseason though so it shouldn't be a problem for him. Also, the RB duo of AJ Dillon and Aaron Jones is back, in what is one of the best backfield duos in the entire league. Looking at the Vikings, they have some young talent in Justin Jefferson, Dalvin Cook and Lewis Cine, that's for sure. But the rest of their roster is getting pretty "long in the tooth" one might say. QB Kirk Cousins is now 34, FS Harrison Smith is 33 and WR Adam Thielen is now 32. I expect the younger guys of Green Bay to be running circles around this Vikings team in this one. Don't forget, Aaron Rodgers hardly ever loses to divisional opponents in the openings weeks of the season. Especially after getting embarrassed 38-3 in week 1 last season to the Saints, the Packers should be hungrier than ever to pick up the win in this one. T.M. Prediction: 23-16 Packers | |||||||
09-10-22 | Iowa State +4 v. Iowa | Top | 10-7 | Win | 100 | 127 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Iowa State Cyclones I like the Iowa State Cyclones to win this game against the Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday. The battle for the best team in Iowa will be at Kinnick Stadium this weekend. Although the Cyclones haven't fared too well lately against Iowa, they looked much better in Week 1. Iowa State opened their year up last week with a comfortable win over Southeast Missouri State. A nice way to open up a season to get a game under their belt and have some film to look at. Iowa started out in a similar situation, in a supposed to be "easy" win to open up the year. They were up against South Dakota State, and boy was it difficult. In a 7-3 win, the Hawkeyes barely survived as their defense ended up scoring more points than their offense. Iowa had two safeties which were the deciding points in the end. Now this Hawkeye defense is legit, everyone knows that, but if your offense plays like they did last week, I have no doubt in my mind that Iowa State will make them pay. Spencer Petras, Iowa's QB, was pretty awful. Only 11/25 passing for 109 yards and an INT. On the other hand, Iowa St's QB in Hunter Dekkers look great. Passing for 293 yards and 4 TDs. Even though the Hawkeyes are at home, and have won 6 in a row in the series, give me the Cyclones in this big rivalry game. Iowa's offense is just too bad for me to think they have a chance here today. T.M. Prediction: 21-10 Cyclones. | |||||||
09-09-22 | Blue Jays -154 v. Rangers | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 28 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays I like the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game against the Texans Rangers on Friday. Off another series win against the Orioles, the Blue Jays are red hot again. They are now 8-2 their last 10. Toronto has one of the best lineups in the entire Major Leagues, and they have been showing that as of late. With the bats finally starting to wake up again, the Jays are looking to be a real threat come playoff time. It's going to be very exciting to watch this team, and they vary well might make a run. Looking at this series, Toronto really needs to keep winning. They still sit in the final Wildcard spot, but another sweep would really benefit them in a big way. Ross Stripling (7-4, 3.03 ERA) will start for them here today against Texas. He's been very consistent all season and with a few more solid outings, he may very well see himself as one of the starters in October. For the Rangers, they haven't had the season they were hoping for after the big offseason. With the signings of both Seager and Semien, they still see themselves in fourth in the AL West (17 GB of a playoff spot.) Dane Dunning (3-8, 4.37 ERA) will step out on the mound for them in this one. He's now allowed 16ERs in his last five outings. In his last meeting with the Jays, he gave up 3ERs in what ended up a 4-3 win for Toronto. Expect the Blue Jays bats to be flying here today. T.M. Prediction: 8-4 Blue Jays | |||||||
09-08-22 | Marlins +115 v. Phillies | Top | 6-5 | Win | 115 | 27 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Miami Marlins I like the Miami Marlins to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. Off back to back one run losses to the Phillies, the Marlins look to avoid the sweep in this one. They've now lost 9 games in a row and they are due for a win. Although the Phillies may have the better team, I believe that the Marlins have the better pitcher here today. Sandy Alcantara (12-7, 2.36 ERA) has been dominant all season and has proven that he is one of the best pitchers in the MLB. Although he also got rocked last time out, he still provides a nasty ERA that nobody can take away from him. Now, looking at Philly, their pitcher also struggled badly last time out. Kyle Gibson (9-6, 4.48 ERA) allowed 7 earned runs in just 1.2 innings pitched against the Giants in his last start. The last time he played the Marlins, he allowed 3 runs, 2 earned, in a 3-0 win for Miami. Given the circumstances and the pitchers on the mound today, expect the Marlins to pull out on top. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Marlins | |||||||
09-07-22 | Braves -1.5 v. A's | Top | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 20 h 4 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves -1.5 I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the Oakland A's on Wednesday. This will be the second of a short two games series between these two teams. The Braves are the much better team, everywhere on the field. They will start the young Spencer Strider (9-4, 2.67 ERA) who has been absolutely dominant this season. It couldn't have been better for Strider last time out, as he pitched 8 shutout innings, with 16 strikeouts! Looking at the A's, they'll start Ken Waldichuk (0-0, 1.93 ERA.) In one start this season, he was alright, pitching 4.2 innings and giving up a run. But that was against a Washington Nationals team that is falling to shreds. This Braves lineup is filled with talent from top to bottom and I'm expecting them to close this series out with another comfortable win. Don't be surprised if this Atlanta team goes back to back. Especially knowing they didn't have Ronald Acuna Jr in last years playoff run. This team looks scary if you ask me. Take the Braves and expect a blowout. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Braves | |||||||
09-07-22 | Sporting Lisbon v. Eintracht Frankfurt +110 | Top | 3-0 | Loss | -100 | 18 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Eintracht Frankfurt I like Eintracht Frankfurt to win this game against Sporting Lisbon on Wednesday. Coming into this game, Eintracht Frankfurt have been scoring goals with ease. In their last two matches in the Bundesliga, they have scored 8. That will give them loads of confidence against this Portuguese side that has only scored two goals in their last three games. Daichi Kamada, the strong Frankfurt midfielder, will try to keep in top form here today as he's scored 5 goals in his last 5 games. Sporting Lisbon may be off a win last time out, but they've been pretty inconsistent as of late. With 2 loses in their last three, I believe that they will struggle against the Europa League champs here in this one. Give me the home team on Wednesday. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Frankfurt | |||||||
09-06-22 | Blue Jays v. Orioles OVER 8.5 | Top | 6-9 | Win | 100 | 27 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays/Baltimore Orioles OVER I am on the OVER in the Toronto Blue Jays vs Baltimore Orioles game on Tuesday. Monday, in both games in a double header between the two, featured two high scoring games. The Blue Jays look to be back, hitting well again. They've now scored 4+ runs in 8 straight games and looking like they will be ready for the playoffs come October. But, pitching has been a weakness for this team all season, and Mitch White (1-5, 4.67 ERA) will get the start in this game. He has been one of their worst pitchers all year. In his last two starts, he's given up a combined 13 earned runs! Now, he faces a Baltimore Orioles team, that is also trying to sneak into the playoffs. For the Orioles, they've also been playing pretty solid baseball over the last few months. They've now scored 3+ runs in 6 of their last 7 games and should have no problem scoring against this pitcher. Kyle Bradish (3-5, 5.17 ERA) will be their pitcher today. He has been pitching some of his best as of late, but I expect him to at least give up a few runs against a blazing hot Blue Jays offense. In both of his last two starts against Toronto, he's given up 3 earned runs. If both of these teams want to make a run come the playoffs, their offenses need to be clicking, so expect some very good hitting here on Tuesday. T.M. Prediction: 7-5 Blue Jays | |||||||
09-06-22 | Manchester City v. Sevilla OVER 2.75 | Top | 4-0 | Win | 100 | 25 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Manchester City/Sevilla OVER I am on the OVER in the Manchester City vs Sevilla game on Tuesday. Man City comes into this game red hot. They haven't lost yet in the Premier League, and they are putting up goals every game with ease. They are led by star Forward, Erling Haaland, who already has 10 goals in the first 6 games of the season. The team has 20 in total in those games. Looking at Sevilla, they haven't started out well whatsoever. Off a loss against Barcelona, 3-0, they are now sitting at 0-1-3 on the year. They've given up at least 2 goals in each of their first 4 games as well. Knowing that City loves to come from behind, I wouldn't be shocked at all if they go down early and unload lots of goals in this one. Since it's the first match day of the fall Champions League, they'll want to put up as many goals as possible so that they have room for error in the last few games. Expect Sevilla to come out, trying everything they possibly can to try and get one on the board early. Even if they don't though, I expect City to score at least 3 goals themselves. Therefore, the OVER should be no problem. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 City. | |||||||
09-04-22 | Florida State v. LSU OVER 49.5 | Top | 24-23 | Loss | -110 | 34 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Florida State/Louisiana State OVER Brian Kelly will make his long awaited debut for the LSU Tigers here on Sunday Night. The Tigers come in off yet another disappointing season. Since Joe Burrow and the 2019-20 team went undefeated, LSU is only 11-12 the past two seasons. This year, they are more motivated than ever and I expect a much improved season. Although they haven't announced the starter, I think that Jayden Daniels will get the nod. He's a capable QB that can really be good at times. He will have big time WR Kayshon Boutte to pass to, who I think is about to have a ridiculous year. Now, the Seminoles have already played a game this season. That will help them in this one as they have some film to watch. Coming into this game, FSU is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games dating back to last season. With QB Jordan Travis back, and Mycah Parsons (Michael's brother) a weapon to throw to, expect the Noles to have no problem putting up points here tonight, especially with LSU losing lockdown corner in Derek Stingley. Give me the OVER. T.M. Prediction: 31-27 LSU. | |||||||
09-04-22 | Brewers v. Diamondbacks -148 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 22 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Arizona Diamondbacks I like the Arizona Diamondbacks to win this game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday. The Brewers might be the better team on paper, but the man on the mound for the Diamondbacks will most definitely be named NL Cy Young if he keeps what he's been doing up. Zac Gallen (10-2, 2.53 ERA) is that guy. Off yet another gem last time out, the 6'2'' righty hasn't given up a single run in 34.1 innings (39 strikeouts.) That is absolutely ridiculous. At home this season, he is a perfect 5-0 with a 2.65 ERA. Now, he faces a Milwaukee Brewers team that is not known for their hitting, that's for sure (.233 avg on the road this season.) Looking at Milwaukee, they have been really inconsistent as of late. They really need to smarten up if they want to have a chance at making a playoff push. The Brewers will start Jason Anderson (2-1, 4.97 ERA,) who has allowed 4 ERs in his last 2 games. On the road this season, he's got a 5.29 ERA. Therefore, I fully expect this Diamondback team to finish this series off with a win. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 DBacks | |||||||
09-03-22 | Twins v. White Sox -129 | Top | 0-13 | Win | 100 | 20 h 35 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday. Dylan Cease (12-6, 2.26 ERA) will be the starting pitcher for the home White Sox here today. Although he hasn't looked his greatest his past few starts, his numbers don't lie and he's still one of the best starters in the entire league. In his last start against Minnesota, he pitched 7 stellar innings, only giving up 1 hit and striking out 8 in a 11-0 win. Off a few wins now, the White Sox see themselves back ever so slightly in the playoff race. Looking at the Twins, they are one of the streakiest teams in baseball. Before their loss to end the month of August against Boston as well as yesterday's, they had won 4 straight, lost 6 straight and then won 5 straight again. Today, Tyler Mahle (6-7, 4.17 ERA) will get the start for them. He's been out since mid august with a shoulder injury, but he's back. His August was decent, in three starts. But looking at his July starts he wasn't all that good at all. This will be the second game of the series, and if the White Sox steal a few games in this series, they'll definitely boost their odds of making a playoff push to end the season. Give me the White Sox here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 White Sox | |||||||
09-03-22 | North Carolina v. Appalachian State +1 | Top | 63-61 | Loss | -110 | 47 h 59 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Appalachian State Mountaineers I like the Appalachian State Mountaineers to win this game against the North Carolina Tar Heels on Saturday. UNC opened up the season in Week Zero with a win over the Florida A&M Rattlers. Now that game doesn't say much, considering the Rattlers had 25 ineligible players that didn't suit up. Off a great 10-4 season, the Mountaineers will be still be looking to improve on it. Looking at this game, this is the perfect week 1 matchup for Appalachian State. Playing a solid power-5 conference team, that they know they can beat will definitely boost their national ranking with a win. Also, with Texas A&M next on the schedule for the Mountaineers, this is practically a must win situation for them. A known double-digit win team starting the season 0-2 would be a complete disaster. Veteran QB Chase Brice will lead the offense out for App St. They also have two very strong running backs in Nate Noel and Camerun Peoples to rely on if need be. For UNC, they have a decent squad, but they will need their defense to be much better than last week if they want to have a chance here. The Tar Heels are only 2-3 in their last 5 games played on the road while App St is riding on a perfect 6-0 record in their last 6 home games. Give me the Mountaineers here today. T.M. Prediction: 36-29 App St | |||||||
09-02-22 | Western Michigan v. Michigan State -20.5 | Top | 13-35 | Win | 100 | 31 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Michigan State Spartans I like the Michigan State Spartans to win this game against the Western Michigan Broncos on Friday. The Spartans began last season off with an incredible 8-0 run, but only ended 3-2. Although they lost star running back Kenneth Walker III to the Seahawks in this years NFL draft, MSU should be just as good in the trenches, at least in this game. This Western Michigan defense gave up 4.5 yards per carry last year, and now have to start a few new guys on the defensive line. MSU brings a 4-0-1 record into this one in their last 5 non-conference games. They also went 9-2-2 ATS last season. The last time these two schools met, in 2019, MSU obliterated the Broncos 51-17. With the loss of their top receiver in Skyy Moore, it will be tough to move the ball against this Spartan defense. WMU is 0-4 ATS in their L4 games against Big Ten opponents as well as 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games played on a Friday. Expect the Spartans to prove to everyone that last season wasn't a fluke here in this one as they open the season up at home. Let's just be honest here, Michigan State is from the better conference and is the much better team in this one so I like the Spartans to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 41-13 | |||||||
08-27-22 | Yankees -1.5 v. A's | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -130 | 13 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Yankees -1.5. I like the New York Yankees runline in this game against the Oakland Athletics on Saturday. The A's have not looked that good in their games lately. They have lost 2 games in a row now and 4/5 of their previous 5 games. They have even lost a majority of their games during that time by 2+ runs, and I think this is going to be another game where they get blown out by the Yankees who are starting to surge again. The Yankees have won 5 games in a row now and are starting to get back on a roll like they were for a majority of the year. Stanton returned to their lineup on Friday from injury and he has really helped spark this offense, putting up 16 runs in the 2 games he has been back for. The A's are one of the worst teams in the league and they have had a terrible offense all year, I see the Yankees rolling over them here like they did in the previous 2 games. Adam Oller (2-6, 6.41 ERA) is up for the A's here and he hasn't looked good at all in his rookie year here. He has been giving up a ton of runs in his starts all year, he hasn't been as bad lately but, I expect the Yankees to put up a ton of runs on him since their offense is a lot better as of late. Oller has seen the Yankees in 2 relief appearances this year where he didn't give up any runs, but he will give up runs here in an extended period of time out on the mound. Domingo Germán (2-2, 3.89 ERA) is up for the Yankees here and he has looked a lot better in his starts since having that 1st bad start on his way back from injury. He has given up 2 runs or less in 5/6 out of his previous 6 starts, and I see him shutting down this bad A's offense with another great start here. I like the Yankees runline in this game. T.M. Prediction: 8-3 Yankees. | |||||||
08-20-22 | Red Sox v. Orioles UNDER 8.5 | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Red Sox/Orioles UNDER. I am on the under in the Boston Red Sox vs Baltimore Orioles game on Saturday. These 2 teams opened this series with a very high scoring game, the Orioles winning it 15-10. The bullpens were not even bad in that game though as a majority of the runs were given up by the starters and the score was already 15-9 Orioles by the 5th inning. I think this is going to be a let down spot for both teams after a high scoring game like that, and I expect their bats to be a lot quieter in this game. I don't see either team getting that many hits or runs in this game and I expect both starters to be on their A-game here after that bad pitching performance by both teams yesterday. Michael Wacha (7-1, 2.44 ERA) is up for the Red Sox here and he has looked really good in a majority of his starts this year. He doesn't really give up more than 2 runs in a start often, he just came back from an injury that kept him out all of July but he has already put up a performance of 7 scoreless innings in his 1st start back and that was against a good Yankees offense. He hasn't faced the Orioles lineup this year yet but I expect him to continue pitching well here like he has been all year, and I see him shutting down the Orioles here and stepping up when his team needs a good start badly. Kyle Bradish (1-4, 6.38 ERA) is up for the Orioles here and he hasn't looked great in his rookie year here, but he has been getting a lot better and hasn't looked as bad in his starts lately. He was giving up a ton of runs in his starts when he 1st came into the league but he has been dialing that back a lot and hasn't given up more than 3 runs in a start in his previous 4 starts. He has looked really good since coming back from his injury and has actually been a better pitcher with much better numbers on this side of his injuries compared to before. He has seen the Red Sox lineup 2 times this season, 1 start where he gave up 6 runs and 1 start where he only gave up 2, but I expect him to be better here like he has been lately and I don't see the Red Sox touching him for many runs here. I expect both of these offenses to have a let down here after last night's game where they put up all those runs, and I expect the starters to step up and be much better for their teams here too. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Red Sox. | |||||||
08-13-22 | Brewers v. Cardinals UNDER 7 | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 13 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Brewers/Cardinals UNDER. I am on the under in the Milwaukee Brewers vs St Louis Cardinals game on Saturday. The Cardinals just overtook the Brewers for 1st place in their division and now the Cardinals have a 1.5 game lead over the Brewers for 1st place. I expect this to be a very close series though with all games being close considering how important each game is to both teams. The 1st game of this series on Friday was also a really low scoring game with not many runs, and I expect this game to be similar with 2 stud pitchers starting for each team. Corbin Burnes (8-5, 2.45 ERA) is up for the Brewers here and he has looked great in a majority of his starts all year. He hasn't given up more than 2 runs in a lot of his starts and he just had another great start where he gave up just 1 run. He has also seen this Cardinals lineup 2 times this year and he pitched 7 shutout innings in both starts. The Cardinals won the 1st game yesterday but only put up 3 runs in the process and I see this being another game where the runs are hard to come by for them. Adam Wainwright (8-8, 3.42 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he has looked great in a majority of his starts this year too. He just had a really bad start in his most recent one where he gave up 6 runs against the Yankees, but I expect him to bounce back with a much better performance in this game like he has been doing in his starts all year. The Brewers haven't been putting up a ton of runs in their games lately either and I expect Wainwright to shut them down here. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Brewers. | |||||||
08-06-22 | Yankees -109 v. Cardinals | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -109 | 16 h 43 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Yankees. I like the New York Yankees to win this game against the St Louis Cardinals on Saturday. The Yankees haven't looked good in their games lately, losing 3 games in a row now, but I expect them to bounce back in this game and I think this is a great spot for them. They just lost to the Cardinals last night by blowing a late lead in the 8th inning but I see the Yankees offense putting up some runs in this game. They still racked up a ton of hits in that game they lost but I expect them to convert those into runs here. Jordan Montgomery (3-3, 3.69 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and this will be a very emotional start for him pitching against the team he was on less than a week ago. He didn't look very good near the end of his time with the Yankees though and I don't think he has fixed any of those issues for this game. He has given up 4+ runs in 2 starts in a row now and was becoming a problem in the rotation for the Yankees. He is gone now and their rotation is better off, but now that he is starting in this game I expect the Yankees to put up a ton of runs on him here. Domingo German (1-1, 6.39 ERA) is up for the Yankees here and he has only made 3 starts this year since he has been out a majority of the year with an injury. He didn't look good in his 1st start back from injury, giving up 5 runs in 3 innings of that game, but he has only given up 2 runs in both of his 2 most recent starts and has pitched more innings in each one. I think he is starting to round into that great form he was in before leaving with injury a year ago and I expect him to shut down the Cardinals in this game. The Yankees have been in terrible shape lately but they need to start winning games and I think this game offers them a great bounce back spot. I like the Yankees to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Yankees. |
