10-31-21 | Rams -16 v. Texans | 38-22 | Push | 0 | 10 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Rams. I like the LA Rams to cover the spread against the Houston Texans in this game on Sunday. The Rams have been putting up 25+ points in their games this year and have a lot of weapons on their team that they can attack you with. Their offense has always been very powerful but now their defense is starting to play much better lately compared to some of their earlier games this season. They have given up less than 20 points in each of their last 3 games in a row. The Texans are really bad this year, after shedding all of their good players over the past couple of years they are really left with nothing. They have only scored 8 points across their last 2 games and have even been shutout 1 time in their last 4. Their offense has not been able to produce anything in their games and with the way that the Rams have been playing on defense lately, I don't think they will be able to do much here either. I think the Rams are going to stunt the Texans offense like what we have seen happen to the Texans in their last few games and I expect the Rams to put up a ton of points in this game. The Rams are much better in every way so I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 42-7 Rams. | |||||||
10-30-21 | Washington +3 v. Stanford | 20-13 | Win | 100 | 17 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington. I like Washington to cover the spread against Stanford in this game on Saturday. Washington ended their 2 game losing streak with a win over Arizona last week and their defense held Arizona to 16 points in that game. Despite their record, Washington have been playing very well in their games lately. They came close to beating a good UCLA team and they almost got the win over Oregon State too losing that game by 3 points in such a close one. Stanford has lost 2 games in a row now ever since upsetting Oregon almost a month ago. Their offense has been terrible since then, putting up 10 points against Arizona State and 31 against Washington State but they didn't do much in the 1st half of that game and were already in a hole by the time they woke up in the 2nd half. Washington State is not a good team at all this year either and that should have been a win for them. Washington is much better and they actually play defense in their games and they do it quite well. I don't think they are going to let Stanford do much on offense in this game and will hold them down all game. I think Washington is going to win this game and I think they are going to do it with their defense. I like Washington to cover the spread here because I think if they lose this game then no way it is more than a field goal. T.M. Prediction: 27-14 Washington. | |||||||
10-30-21 | Oregon State v. California +1.5 | 25-39 | Win | 100 | 14 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: California. I like California to cover the spread and win this game against Oregon State. Cal has been playing well in their last 2 games with a win over Colorado where they held them to just 3 points with their defense and lost to Oregon in the game before that but only by a touchdown and they kept Oregon to 24 points in that game. Cal has been getting better and better on defense in their games and I expect them to have a really good game here at home shutting down Oregon State and their offense. Oregon State just ripped a win off of Utah last week who was the only undefeated team in conference play left in the Pac-12. They handed them their 1 loss and now most of the leaders in the Pac-12 are 3-1 in conference play. That was a big win for them as Utah was on fire for weeks and I am expecting a let down for them here. Oregon State is 1 of those 3-1 teams in the conference but a loss here would be detrimental to their title hopes. I like Cal to play some spoiler for them here and take this win at home. T.M. Prediction: 31-28 California. | |||||||
10-30-21 | UMass v. Liberty -35 | 17-62 | Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Liberty. I like Liberty to cover the spread against UMass in this game on Saturday. Liberty have stumbled a bit in their last few games but I expect them to get back on track with a big win here. Their quarterback Malik Willis is headed to the NFL in the near future with the way he plays and the skills he possesses. UMass have come up with 1 win in 4 games and that win was against UConn who is 1 of the worst teams in the FBS... but Umass is a very close 2nd and has been having a terrible year. If you take that win out then they have lost their last 3 in a row and have not scored more than a TD in any of those games. Liberty has a very good team and their quarterback is something really special. He is going to throw circles around this bad UMass team and I expect that they will blow them out posting 40+ points themselves in the game. I like Liberty to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 49-3 Liberty. | |||||||
10-28-21 | Packers +6.5 v. Cardinals | 24-21 | Win | 100 | 15 h 59 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Green Bay Packers. I like the Green Bay Packers to cover the spread against the Arizona Cardinals in this game on Thursday. The Packers are off to a great start this year and they look like a team that is going to be a serious contender this year. Their offense is putting up points in their games with 3+ TDs in most of their games this year. Their defense has been playing very well in their last 2 games holding their opponent to less than 2 TDs in each of those. The Packers will likely be missing Davante Adams in this game due to covid but he does not make up their whole team. They still have Aaron Rodgers at quarterback who is one of the best in the league and he will do what is necessary to help his team move the ball and score. They also have a very good running game in Aaron Jones and I think we are going to see a lot of him in this game. The Packers may be a little thin at wide receiver but Rodgers will be able to make the good throws to whoever to get the job done here. The Cardinals will also be missing some pieces on their defense such as JJ Watt and that will not help them out in this game. The Cardinals usually get off to a slow start in their games and I think that Rodgers and the Packers will take advantage of that if it happens here. This could be a possible preview of the NFC Championship game so I expect it to be really close despite all of the missing players. I think this game is going to come down to whoever has the ball last and will be decided by a field goal. I like the Packers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Packers. | |||||||
10-28-21 | South Florida +10 v. East Carolina | 14-29 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 10 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: South Florida. I like South Florida to cover the spread against East Carolina in this game on Thursday. South Florida have really turned their season around from where they started this year. They were one of the worst teams in the 1st few weeks but now they are starting to play much better in their games. They are around a +10 in this game but they have only lost 1 game in their L4 by 10+ points and that was against the undefeated SMU. It started with their game against BYU when they almost came back in that game and gave BYU a run for their money. They had a setback in the next game against SMU but the wheels had already started to turn on this team as they lost to Tulsa by 1 point in their next game and then finally pulled off the 20 point win against Temple in their last game. East Carolina have only beaten 1 FBS team by 10+ points this year and it was against Tulane who is the worst team in their conference right now. They have actually lost their last 2 games in conference play with those games being close within a TD in both. East Carolina have started to regress after a very good start to their season before conference play. South Florida is starting to move in the right direction now and they have been getting better each week and I expect them to be even more improved in this game. I like South Florida to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-28 East Carolina. | |||||||
10-26-21 | Warriors -9 v. Thunder | 106-98 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Oklahoma City Thunder in this game on Tuesday. The Warriors have looked really good in their undefeated start to this new season. Steph Curry has been getting better and better in each game they've played this season and he is getting a lot of help from his supporting cast such as Jordan Poole and Draymond Green. They just went into Sacramento on Sunday and got their biggest win of the season beating the Kings by 12 points in that game. The Thunder have not impressed out of the gates this season and they are still winless through 3 games. They have been destroyed in every game they have played, losing all of them by 10+ points. Their last game was their closest game of the new season losing at home to the 76ers by 12 points. This is a very bad Thunder team and until they start to show any sign of turning around their play, they aren't a team that I am looking to bet on. The Warriors are rolling right now and I have to ride them until they fall but they are looking better and better each game they play. I like the Warriors to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 131-114 Warriors. | |||||||
10-25-21 | Bulls v. Raptors +3 | 111-108 | Push | 0 | 17 h 42 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Raptors. I like the Toronto Raptors to cover the spread against the Chicago Bulls in this game on Monday. The Raptors didn't play well at all in their 1st home game of the season but they have looked a lot better in their last 2 games. They went into Boston and destroyed them getting their 1st win of the year and then they came home and lost to the Mavericks but they had a real chance to win that game and were leading in the 1st half. They have not won a game at home yet and they will be at home again for this game. I expect them to make a big push here and secure their 1st home win of the season for their fans. The Bulls have come out swinging this season and are undefeated through 3 games. They have not played anyone that special though with 2 wins coming against the Pistons and 1 against the Pelicans who are hurting in the absence of Zion. In the 1st road game for the Bulls they were down in that game and had to make a comeback against Detroit. The Raptors are going to be the best team that the Bulls have faced so far and I think the Raptors will try very hard to give the Bulls their 1st loss of the season, especially with DeRozan on the Bulls who spent many years playing for the Raptors. I like the Raptors to cover the spread in this game that I think they have a good chance of taking the win here. T.M. Prediction: 106-102 Raptors. | |||||||
10-24-21 | Colts v. 49ers -4 | 30-18 | Loss | -101 | 18 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Francisco 49ers. I like the San Francisco 49ers to cover the spread against the Indianapolis Colts in this game on Sunday night. The 49ers lost 3 games in a row going into their bye week but they did not perform that bad in those games. They lost to the Packers by 2 points making that game really close and then they lost 2 divisional games each by 1 touchdown. They lost to the Seahawks before Russell Wilson got injured and in a game that the Seahawks were desperate to win so they wouldn't fall to 1-3 before facing the Rams on a short week. They also lost their last game before the bye to the Cardinals who might just the be the best team in the NFL with the only undefeated record left and they held the Cardinals to just 17 points, the only game the Cardinals haven't scored 30+ in all year. Their defense played great and the bye week gave some time for some of their injuries to heal up. They will even be getting their starting QB Jimmy Garoppolo back for this game and he has a much better chance of leading this offense with all the time he has spent in SF as their QB. The Colts are not that good this year and their defense really slipped up in blowing a pretty big lead they had over the Ravens late in that game. They only gave up 3 points last week but that was against the Texans who are awful on offense. The 49ers will be prepared for this game after their bye and will have the home crowd on their side. This is their chance to change the narrative and the momentum after losing 3 in a row and I think they get it done here in this game. I like the 49ers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 27-17 49ers. | |||||||
10-24-21 | Magic v. Knicks -12 | 110-104 | Loss | -108 | 16 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Knicks. I like the New York Knicks to cover the spread against the Orlando Magic in this game on Sunday. The Knicks are 2-0 this year and look really good after the moves they made in the offseason. Kemba Walker was a huge pick up for them and he hasn't even started heating up yet with a slow start in his first 2 games. It has been Julius Randle and Evan Fournier who have been leading this team this year and Fournier really was the perfect addition to their team, exactly what they needed to make this offense flow. They have the Magic coming to town for this game but they did just play the Magic in Orlando in their last game and smoked them by 20+ points. The Knicks turned out to be a pretty good team last season but with the moves they made in the offseason they are even better than they were last year. The Magic have gotten worse since last year and haven't even reached 100 points in either of their games yet. They just lost to the Knicks at home by 20+ and now have to go on the road to face them again in New York. This game is going to be very bad for the Magic, the Knicks are a force to be reckoned with in the East this year. I like the Knicks to repeat what they did in Orlando and cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 127-99 Knicks. | |||||||
10-24-21 | Jets v. Patriots -7 | 13-54 | Win | 100 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New England Patriots. I like the New England Patriots to cover the spread against the New York Jets in this game on Sunday. The Patriots have played some good games lately and it all started with their Tom Brady reunion when they faced the Bucs 3 weeks ago. They lost that game at home 19-17 but they put up a real good fight in that one and came really close to winning that game in the final 2 minutes. When they played the Texans they got off to a bad start and found themselves in a big hole but they dug their way out and found a way to win that game after being down by double digits late in the game. Fast forward to last week when they lost to the Cowboys in OT but almost stole that game from them in the final 2 minutes. Dallas is very good this year and they kept up in that game causing a lot of trouble for the Cowboys. Now they get the Jets coming to town and have already beat them 25-6 earlier in the season in New Jersey. Their defense played great holding the Jets to just 6 points in their own stadium. The Jets got their first win this year against the Titans and then went to England for their next game losing to a bad Falcons team. They had their bye last week and find themselves on the road again for their first game back from London. The Jets have been getting better each week but the Patriots have also improved a lot from the last time they faced. I expect their defense to play well here and their offense to play even better putting up more points on the Jets than they did last time. I like the Patriots to cover the spread here in a big divisional win for them. T.M. Prediction: 31-14 Patriots. | |||||||
10-24-21 | Chiefs -4 v. Titans | 3-27 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas City Chiefs. I like the Kansas City Chiefs to cover the spread against the Tennessee Titans in this game on Sunday. The Chiefs have struggled out of the gates this year with a very slow start but they started to pick their game up last week. They were down by 3 at halftime against the WFT but they made some adjustments and came out dominating the game from that point on. They outscored Washington 21-0 in the 2nd half of that game holding them to 0 points in that half. Their defense made some big steps in that game and I think that is the turn around spot for them this season. The Chiefs still have a great offense and can put up a ton of points but their defense has been holding them back in their games. I think their defense is going to step up in this game and make some key stops. The Titans have a few injuries at wide receiver, both AJ Brown and Julio Jones are probable to play but they likely won't be at 100% in this game. That narrows the job down a bit for the defense in just stopping Derrick Henry. Henry ran all over the Bills last week but I think the Chiefs will use the tape from that game to find ways on how they can avoid them and stop him. The Titan's entire offense relies on Henry and if he is stopped then they are a much weaker team and won't be able to pull off a comeback if they go down too many points. The line is not big here so I like the Chiefs to cover the spread in this one and get back to the Chiefs team we have seen the last few years. T.M. Prediction: 41-24 Chiefs. | |||||||
10-23-21 | Ohio State -21 v. Indiana | Top | 54-7 | Win | 100 | 11 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ohio State. I like Ohio State to cover the spread against Indiana on Saturday. Ohio State looks nothing like the team that we saw lose to Oregon back in week 2. They have been hitting their stride in their last few games coming away with some big victories in their games. They have put up 50+ points in each of their last 3 games while giving up less than 20 points in all of them. Their last 2 games were against conference teams and they won each of those games by 39+ points. CJ Stroud has looked much better in their games and even threw 5 TDs in their last game against Maryland. They had their bye week last week and will be even more prepared for this game against Indiana with some extra rest on their side too. Indiana have just been getting by in their games this season but they have really started to struggle as soon as they hit conference play. They have played in 3 games against Big 10 opponents this year and have scored a total of 21 points in those games. They only put up 15 points against Michigan State in their last game and they were shut out by Penn State in their game the week before that one. They do not have a strong offense and will now have to face the best team in the Big 10 by far. I think Ohio State is going to put up a ton of points in this game while Indiana struggles to even put up points. I like Ohio State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Selection: 56-14 Ohio State. | |||||||
10-23-21 | Nevada +3.5 v. Fresno State | 32-34 | Win | 100 | 10 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Nevada. I like Nevada to cover the spread against Fresno State on Saturday. Nevada has surprisingly impressed in their games this season and is turning out to be a much better team than everyone thought they would be at the beginning of the season. They only have 1 loss this season but they have been playing well ever since Kansas State handed them that loss. They have put up 30+ points in all of their games since then winning each of those by 10+ points. Carson Strong has been leading the passing game for them and he has been great with 9 TD passes and only 1 interception in his last 3 games. Fresno State started their season with some positives but they have started to look shaky in their games lately. They won against a very bad UNLV team but they only took that game by 8 points and they gave up 30 points in that game to a UNLV team that has struggled heavily on offense all year. Then in their next game they blow a lead to Hawaii and end up losing that game by 3. Then in their last game they finally fixed their troubles on defense with a shutout over Wyoming, but they only managed to put up 17 points in that game struggling to get anything done on offense in that game. Fresno State has been too inconsistent to trust lately and Nevada looks like they are coming for the Mountain West title. This game will be huge for both teams for that reason and I think Nevada is good enough to even win this game. I like Nevada to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 30-27 Nevada. | |||||||
10-23-21 | Boston College v. Louisville -4.5 | 14-28 | Win | 100 | 7 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Louisville. I like Louisville to cover the spread against Boston College on Saturday. Louisville has been having a good season but they hit a snag in their last 2 games. They ended up losing both games in very tight battles, 1 being a loss to Wake Forest by a field goal and the other being a loss to Virginia by 1 point. Wake Forest is the only undefeated team left in the ACC and Virginia has a very good offense but they will be getting an easier challenge in this game. Boston College had a great start to their season going undefeated through 4 games but as soon as they ran into conference play they ran into trouble in those games. They put a good fight up against Clemson but they are not the same Clemson team that has been ranked so high in the country in years past. They got absolutely crushed in their last game though, losing that one 33-7 to NC State. I think that Boston College's luck has run out here and they will have a tough time winning games against other conference teams. Malik Cunningham and Hassan Hall will be too much for this Boston College defense to handle and I think they are just going to run away with this game. I like Louisville to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 37-24 Louisville. | |||||||
10-23-21 | UMass v. Florida State -35.5 | 3-59 | Win | 100 | 4 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Florida State. I like Florida State to cover the spread against Massachusetts on Saturday. After Florida State's horrid start to the season when they couldn't win a game if it was handed to them on a silver platter, they have made some adjustments and are starting to look a little better in their last few games. They broke out of their funk against Syracuse just moving past them with a win by a field goal to break their winless streak this season. Then in their last game, they went on the road in North Carolina and took down the Tar Heels by 10 points who aren't that great this year but they're still a whole lot better than Massachusetts. Their QB Jordan Travis was able to be a threat in both the passing game and the running game in that one and I expect him to do the same here with a much easier challenge on his hands. Massachusetts actually won their last game before the bye week they just had but that win was against Connecticut who might just be the worst team in FBS. Florida State is slowly turning things around near the end of this season but they are a team that is definitely trending in the proper direction. I like the Seminoles to lay a beating on the Minutemen here as things continue to click for them. I like Florida State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 49-7 Florida State. | |||||||
10-22-21 | Toronto v. Montreal +1 | 16-37 | Win | 100 | 13 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Montreal Alouettes. I like the Montreal Alouettes to cover the spread and win against the Toronto Argonauts on Friday. These are the 2 best teams in the East Division with the Argos at 6-3 and the Alouettes at 5-4. A win for the Alouettes in this game will put them level with the Argos for 1st place. The Alouettes have won 3 in a row and the last team that they lost to was the Argos about a month ago. They lost that 1 in Toronto by just 3 points and will be looking to get their revenge in this game now that they are the home team. The Argos just picked up a win on the road in their last game against the Ti-Cats but they only won that game by 1 point just muddling through it and Toronto to Hamilton is not that much of a travel either. This is a pretty big rivalry game to Montreal and they will be looking for their revenge from that close loss. I think they are playing better football than the Argos are right now so I like the Alouettes to cover the spread and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Alouettes. | |||||||
10-20-21 | Thunder v. Jazz -12 | 86-107 | Win | 100 | 13 h 37 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Utah Jazz. I like the Utah Jazz to cover the spread against the OKC Thunder on Wednesday. This will the opening game of the NBA season for both of these teams. The Jazz have a very good team still and they finished last season with the best record in the NBA. They have their entire starting lineup returning this season and they have a lot of depth on their bench too. The Thunder shed a lot of their good players in the offseason and they left themselves in a bad situation as they begin their rebuild. They don't really have any household names left on their roster other than Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The Jazz have nothing but stars on their team and they will be looking to pick up in this season right where they left off last season. I think the Jazz have too much talent here to lose or even have this game be close in any way. I like the Jazz to cover the spread here and start their season off in a big way. T.M. Prediction: 122-101 Jazz. | |||||||
10-20-21 | Coastal Carolina -5 v. Appalachian State | 27-30 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Coastal Carolina. I like Coastal Carolina to cover the spread against Appalachian State. Coastal Carolina is ranked number 14 in the country and they have been ripping teams open with their offense all year. They have scored 50+ points in each of their last 3 games and their last 2 games they played against another team from their conference, they won each by 30+ points. They are not only trying to win their conference this year but they are trying to climb the poll as far up as they can in a year where many of the strong favorites have been losing. App State just lost a conference game against the Ragin' Cajuns and they were decimated in that game only putting up 13 points and giving up 41. If Louisiana is scoring 41 points on this App State defense then Coastal Carolina will be putting up another 50 here. I think they are just a much stronger team and they are on a mission to prove that they are not just good because of their weaker conference and schedule. I like Coastal Carolina to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 51-24 Coastal Carolina. | |||||||
10-18-21 | Rangers +1.5 v. Maple Leafs | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 17 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Rangers +1.5. I like the New York Rangers on the puckline against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday. The Rangers are 3 games into their season already and they just got their 1st win of the new season against the Canadiens on Saturday night. They won that game 3-1 and in their game before that one against the Stars they ended up losing but took that game to OT. After losing a bad game 5-1 in their opening game, they have bounced back nicely and have started to improve more and more in each game. The Leafs have won 2 of their games already but they were playing the Canadiens and the Senators, not the best teams in the league. They also lost 1 of those game against the Senators. Auston Matthews is supposed to make his season debut in this game coming back from an injury but that just means that the lines they have been playing with will have to be shuffled to fit him in his spot and it will still be his first game of the season and first time playing in a game with his teammates in a few months. I think the chemistry for the Leafs will be off in this game and I like the Rangers to take advantage of that here keeping this one close even if they don't win. I like the Rangers on the puckline +1.5. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Leafs. | |||||||
10-17-21 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Braves | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers -1.5. I like the LA Dodgers on the runline against the Atlanta Braves on Sunday. The Dodgers lost game 1 of this series but they did the same thing in their series with the Giants before coming back in game 2 and winning by 7 runs. I expect the Dodgers to do the same thing in this game with a big bounce back. Max Scherzer (15-4, 2.46 ERA) is starting and he has pitched very well this year and in the postseason. He has pitched in 3 games in this postseason and he has not given up more than 1 run in any of those games. He came out in the 9th inning of game 5 to finish the Giants off and he was pitching some nasty stuff in that 1 inning. I expect him to keep that up in this game and make it nearly impossible for the Braves to get a run here. Ian Anderson (9-5, 3.58 ERA) is starting for the Braves and he has pitched well this year too. He has pitched in 1 game in this postseason and did not give up any runs in this game. He did face the Dodgers earlier this year in the regular season and he got rocked in that game giving up 4 runs. I think that is going to happen to him again in this game since the Dodgers have been hot at bat in some of these games. I like the Dodgers on the runline here to win this one by -1.5. T.M. Prediction: 4-0 Dodgers. | |||||||
10-17-21 | Chiefs -6.5 v. Washington Football Team | 31-13 | Win | 100 | 36 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas City Chiefs. I like the Kansas City Chiefs to cover the spread against the Washington Football Team on Sunday. The Chiefs lost to the Bills last week and can likely sense the power shifting in the AFC. They will do what they can here to stop the bleeding and it starts with a big win over a bad Washington team. Washington does not have the best offense run by their QB Taylor Heinicke. What's really alarming for them is their defense though. They were one of the best defenses in the league last season and this year they have one of the worst. The Chiefs have not been performing at their best this season but they are still putting up a lot of points in their games and will be able to do the same here. They put up 42 points on the Eagles in the week before last and at this point, the Eagles and Washington are about par with the way their defenses are running. The Chiefs will be looking for a big bounce back here now that they don't have a winning record this season and sit at the bottom of their division. I expect them to make a big turn around here so I like the Chiefs to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 35-17 Chiefs. | |||||||
10-17-21 | Rams -8 v. Giants | Top | 38-11 | Win | 100 | 36 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Rams. I like the LA Rams to cover the spread against the New York Giants on Sunday. The Rams bounced back after their first loss of the season getting a win over the Seahawks on Thursday night. They have had some extra days of rest for this game and should be well rested for it. The Rams are looking very strong on offense this year with their new QB Matt Stafford. The Giants are not playing well on defense and the Rams will be able to score with ease in this game. Daniel Jones is expected to be back after a scary hit in his last game that caused a concussion. Even if he is back this week, it doesn't matter since all of the weapons on this team are injured. Barkley is out as well as Shepard and Golladay. They also have a few other pass catchers injured for this one. The Giants really have nothing to work with here and Jones can't do it all himself. I think the Giants have no chance here in their current situation so I love the Rams to cover the spread in this spot. T.M. Prediction: 31-10 Rams. | |||||||
10-16-21 | Arizona State +1.5 v. Utah | 21-35 | Loss | -118 | 22 h 60 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arizona State. I like Arizona State to cover the spread and win against Utah on Saturday. Ever since losing to BYU, Arizona State has looked much better with 3 wins in a row and all of them against Pac-12 conference teams. They are ranked 18th in the country and leading their division, the Pac-12 South. Their last 3 wins have been big wins too, all of them coming by around 20 points. Utah has won their last 2 games in the conference but they weren't up against the strongest teams. They got their wins over Washington State and USC who are both turning out to be very disappointing teams with their play this year. Arizona State did get their wins against UCLA and Stanford who is surprisingly having a decent year. I think Arizona State is the better team here whether they are on the road or not. I like them to cover the spread and win this game straight up with their good offense that we have seen lately in their games. T.M. Prediction: 38-24 Arizona State. | |||||||
10-16-21 | Alabama -17 v. Mississippi State | Top | 49-9 | Win | 100 | 19 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Alabama. I like Alabama to cover the spread against Mississippi State on Saturday. Alabama got knocked off by Texas A&M last week and is now faced with 1 loss this year and dropped to 5th ranked in the country. That was a massive upset and now Alabama is sitting outside of the college football playoffs if they were happening this week. They will be eager to get their rank back and that starts with running the table and blowing out the other teams while they are at it. It has been a very weird year for college football so there is still a chance for them but they need to show that they look good on both offense and defense and that starts in this game. They will need to get a blowout win here to help make their case. Mississippi State is just a mediocre team that usually plays in close games where their offense matches the team they are playing. I think Alabama will be able to take care of them with ease, Nick Saban will have his team geared up and ready to bounce back. I like Alabama to cover the spread here in a must blowout win game for them. T.M. Prediction: 45-14 Alabama. | |||||||
10-16-21 | Purdue v. Iowa -11 | 24-7 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Iowa. I like Iowa to cover the spread against Purdue on Saturday. Iowa has been having a very good season this year. They are ranked 2nd in the country after taking down Penn State last week and they really had to dig in their heels and make a strong comeback in that game. Their defense showed up when they needed to in that Penn State game and their defense has really been performing at a high level all year. They have always been known for their good defense but now their offense is starting to catch up too. They only put up 23 on a good Penn State with a good defense too but in the game before that one they thrashed Maryland 51-14. Purdue does not have a very strong offense at all and they will be lucky if they can get through this Iowa defense. Purdue has put up 13 points in each of their last 3 games, nothing more and nothing less. Iowa has already proven that they can stop a team like Purdue from scoring and put up a ton of points on them. I think that Iowa is going to blow them out here, especially now that they are ranked 2nd they will want to do anything they can to keep their rank. I like Iowa to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 37-10 Iowa. | |||||||
10-15-21 | California +13.5 v. Oregon | 17-24 | Win | 100 | 20 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: California. I like California to cover the spread against Oregon on Friday. California has now lost 2 bad games in a row in their conference play. Washington stole the game from them in OT and then they suffered a devastating blow with a 21-6 loss at home against Washington State. They had a bye week last week and have had some time to regroup and rethink their approach to these games. I think they will be eager to get a win here against a reeling Oregon team who lost their 3rd place rank in the country after a loss to Stanford in their last game. Oregon also had a bye week and will be rested for this game but I think Cal is going to take it to them in this game and keep it close knowing that Oregon's confidence is down. Cal has their back against the wall here and need to make something happen here or their hopes to win the conference will be over. I think they will make this a close game with Oregon giving them another scare. I like Cal to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-24 Oregon. | |||||||
10-15-21 | Marshall -11 v. North Texas | 49-21 | Win | 100 | 16 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Marshall. I like Marshall to cover the spread against North Texas on Friday. Marshall can move the ball well on offense and has been putting up 20+ points in all of their games. They put up 20 in their last game but that was their lowest scoring game all year. Their defense played much better in that game only giving up 13 points. North Texas has had a problem on offense all year not putting up a lot of points in their games. They put up 35 points in their last game but that was the 1st game they had put up 20+ points this year when playing an FBS team. Their defense has not been good either this year as they have given up 30+ points in every game except 1 when playing an FBS team. North Texas is not a very good team this year and I think Marshall is going to be able to score a lot here while holding them to less than 20 points. I like Marshall to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 42-17 Marshall. | |||||||
10-13-21 | Canucks +1.5 v. Oilers | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 18 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vancouver Canucks +1.5. I like the Vancouver Canucks on the puckline against the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday. The Canucks just faced the Oilers in their last 2 games of the preseason and they lost both of those games 3-2. The Canucks finished last season with the worst record in the North Division but the Oilers were one of the teams they held their own against with a 4-6 H2H record against them last year. The Canucks had a lot of young players still finding their way but they should be more developed coming into this season now. They also have some good goaltending on their side also. The Oilers finished out their preseason with 4 wins in a row all by 1 goal. They played well last season up until the playoffs. They started to look shaky near the end of the season and once the postseason hit they were an absolute disappointment getting swept by the Jets in the 1st round. Every year the Oilers are over hyped and every year they underachieve. The Canucks have a good young team developing together in this 1st game of the year is the best time to catch the Oilers off guard. I think this is going to be a close game that the Canucks come away with. I like them on the puckline in this one +1.5. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Canucks. | |||||||
10-12-21 | Appalachian State -5 v. UL-Lafayette | 13-41 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Appalachian State. I like Appalachian State to cover the spread against Louisiana-Lafayette on Tuesday. App State looked a lot better in their last game after a close 1 point win against Marshall in the week before. They are a 5 point favorite here and have won 3/4 games by that number clearing that spread. They beat Georgia State by 29 points and then had a bye week so they are rested and refreshed with the last 2 weeks off. Their passing game was great in that win over the Panthers. The Ragin' Cajuns have won 4 games in a row but this will be the toughest team they have faced this year, other than Texas and they lost that game by 20 points. They also had their bye week last week but it will not mean much as App State is just a much better team. The Ragin' Cajuns won their last game but they did not really pass the ball a lot or even run it that much. App State has a much stronger offense and the potential to run away with this game if they keep pulling away during the game. I like App State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 35-20 App State. | |||||||
10-11-21 | Giants v. Dodgers -1.5 | 1-0 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers -1.5. I like the LA Dodgers on the runline against the San Francisco Giants on Monday. The Giants took the first game of this series but the Dodgers got it back in game 2 and now get to head home for 2 games with a chance to eliminate the Giants at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers bounced back in game 2 with a 9-2 win really letting their bats loose in that one. Alex Wood (10-4, 3.83 ERA) is starting for the Giants he has pitched well lately not giving up a lot of runs in his last couple of starts. Max Scherzer (15-4, 2.46 ERA) is going for the Dodgers though, and he has been great since coming to the team. He has not lost a game yet as a Dodger. His last 2 starts were shaky as he gave up 5 runs in each but I expect a big bounce back in these playoffs now. Back in 2019 he won every single postseason start he had as he and his team won the World Series that year. He pitched in the Wild Card game last week and only gave up 1 run in that one. I don't think the Giants will be able to score any runs off Scherzer and now the Dodgers are scoring a lot again. I like the Dodgers to win here by -1.5. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Dodgers. | |||||||
10-11-21 | Colts v. Ravens -7 | 25-31 | Loss | -103 | 102 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Baltimore Ravens. I like the Baltimore Ravens to cover the spread against the Indianapolis Colts on Monday. The Ravens finally showed up on defense in their last game holding the Broncos to just 7 points in that game. They played well in the game before that one as well holding the Lions to just 17 points in that game. The Colts got their 1st win of the season last week against a bad Miami team but they were struggling to put up more than 20 points in their games before that. Carson Wentz is still a Wild Card as he will show up in some games and in others is nowhere to be found. He is also very injury prone so 1 bad hit and he could easily be taken out of the game. The Ravens are a more consistent team with a good defense and an even better QB in Lamar Jackson. He will find ways to put up points with his offense and I think that their defense will shut down the Colts here. I like the Ravens to cover the spread in this game on Monday night. T.M. Prediction: 27-13 Ravens. | |||||||
10-10-21 | 49ers v. Cardinals -5 | Top | 10-17 | Win | 103 | 74 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Arizona Cardinals. I like the Arizona Cardinals to cover the spread against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. The Cardinals are the only undefeated team left in the NFL and I think that it is going to stay that way after this week. The Cardinals have looked really good in all of their games. They have only played in 1 close game this year, winning by 1 point over the Vikings, all of their other wins were by 10+ points. Kyler Murray is really guiding this offense to victory with his amazing play and his ability to keep any broken play alive when he scrambles. The 49ers are in trouble after losing their last 2 games, including 1 against division rival Seattle. They need a win here and are so desperate that they have decided to start rookie QB Trey Lance in this game. Lance may be a great QB but he will need time to adjust to the NFL while Kingsbury and Murray have been doing it for years now and all that hard work is finally starting to show for it. The Cardinals took down the team to beat in their division last week when they beat up on the Rams by 17 points. They will not be stopped by this 49ers team so I like the Cardinals to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-20 Cardinals. | |||||||
10-10-21 | Lions +9.5 v. Vikings | 17-19 | Win | 100 | 70 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Detroit Lions. I like the Detroit Lions to cover the spread against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. The Lions have looked good and have stayed competitive in their games this season in the 1st half, then it all falls apart in the 2nd half. Last week they had a chance to beat the Bears as they made it to the redzone multiple times but had nothing to show for it due to stupid mistakes like a fumbled snap that cost them points on 1 drive. They have had their moments though where they have not looked like a bad team so I expect them to iron out a few more details in practice and play much better in this game. The Vikings have not been having a great year either as they have been struggling in all of their games. They have had 3 close losses and 1 win where they were dominated in the 1st half but turned it around in the 2nd half. This game will feature 2 teams that are struggling to get wins and both will be clawing and scratching for this win here in such an important division game for both. The spread is way too big in this game as the Vikings have not shown that they are able to blow teams out this year. This will be a much closer game as both teams grind it out so I like the Lions to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 27-23 Vikings. | |||||||
10-09-21 | Memphis +3.5 v. Tulsa | Top | 29-35 | Loss | -115 | 54 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Memphis. I like Memphis to cover the spread against Tulsa on Saturday. Memphis has played close games all year leading up to this one. Their largest win against an FBS team this season was by 5 points against Arkansas State. Their largest loss this year was by 3 points in their last 2 games by UTSA and Temple. Tulsa has been struggling in their games all year and is pretty much the worst team in this conference this season. They lost by 35 points to Houston in their last game and they also have a loss against an FCS team this year on their record. Memphis does not have the best defense but they make up for it with their very good offense. They have been putting up a ton of points in every game this season and have only played 1 game where they didn't put up 30+ points, and they still had 28 points in that one. Memphis has a good enough offense to keep up in this game and even go on to win it. I like Memphis to cover the spread and even win in this game. T.M. Prediction: 41-30 Memphis. | |||||||
10-09-21 | Oregon State v. Washington State +4 | 24-31 | Win | 100 | 49 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington State. I like Washington State to cover the spread against Oregon State on Saturday. Washington State has not been playing well to start their season this year but they are starting to look better each week. They put up a good fight against Utah before letting it slip away from them in the 4th quarter of that game. They then followed that performance up with a win against another conference team, Cal. Oregon State has won 4 games in a row but they did not look too good in their last game. They struggled to win against Washington just slipping by that game by 3 points. Their passing game was completely shut down in that game, Chance Nolan only had 48 yards passing. I think the little run that Oregon State had is over now and I expect Washington State to keep getting better as the season goes on. I think both teams are trending in opposite directions here so I like Oregon State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Washington State. | |||||||
10-09-21 | Maryland v. Ohio State -20.5 | 17-66 | Win | 100 | 45 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ohio State. I like Ohio State to cover the spread against Maryland on Saturday. Ohio State has looked much better in their last 3 games and have been putting up a ton of points on offense. They put up 59 points in each of their last 2 games, including a blowout win on the road against Rutgers. Maryland has been looking shaky in their games lately. They played well against Kent State but they struggled to beat a bad Illinois side and they were also blown out at home by Iowa last week. They will be on the road for this game which makes their challenge in this game all that more difficult. I expect Maryland to struggle here as Ohio State starts finding their groove again and starts playing like the team we have known them to be for the last few years. I like Ohio State to cover the spread and make a statement in this game. T.M. Prediction: 52-20 Ohio State. | |||||||
10-09-21 | Arkansas v. Ole Miss -5 | 51-52 | Loss | -110 | 45 h 26 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ole Miss. I like Ole Miss to cover the spread against Arkansas on Saturday. Ole Miss had their 3 game win streak ended by Alabama last week. They lost that game by 20 points but they still managed to score 21 points themselves in that game. Before that game, they had scored 40+ points in all of their games. They have a really good offense this year and have been playing much better as a team this season. Arkansas also had their win streak ended by Georgia but they failed to put up a single point on Georgia's defense. That was also their first road game of the season and they now have their 2nd one in a row here. Arkansas has a good team but I think their good play has been masked a bit by their home advantage and their lesser opponents this season. When faced with a real challenge last week, they folded like a cheap tent. Ole Miss actually put up a fight against Alabama and showed that they will try to hang with the big boys. I think Ole Miss is just the better team here so I like them to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 41-27 Ole Miss. | |||||||
10-08-21 | Stanford +13 v. Arizona State | 10-28 | Loss | -109 | 58 h 26 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Stanford. I like Stanford to cover the spread against Arizona State on Friday. Stanford is coming off a big win against their conference rival Oregon, knocking them out of their 3rd place rank with that win. That was not their first upset win in the conference on the road this year though. They also came up with a big win over USC earlier on the road. They have actually played worse at home losing to UCLA by 11 points. Arizona State also got an upset win in their last game in the conference on the road against UCLA by almost 20 points. They are favored by 11 points in this game though and I think that it is going to be a much closer game than that. Stanford has been playing very well all year and they even have a chance to win this game so the spread should be much closer than it is right now. I like Stanford to cover that spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-27 Arizona State. | |||||||
10-07-21 | Houston -6 v. Tulane | 40-22 | Win | 100 | 31 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Houston. I like Houston to cover the spread against Tulane on Thursday. Houston has been looking good in their games lately putting up 40+ points in 3/4 games from their last 4. They beat Navy by a slim margin but won by a lot against their other 3 opponents in their last 4. They beat Tulsa by 35 in their last game on the road and I think they are going to do the same to Tulane here. Tulane is having a bad year and they are just as bad as Tulsa from a talent perspective. They have lost their last 3 in a row by more than a TD and 2 of those games were 20+ point losses. Houston has been rolling on offense and they are going to put a hurt on Tulane's defense in this game. They will not be able to score many points here either so I like Houston to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 41-23 Houston. | |||||||
10-03-21 | Ravens v. Broncos | Top | 23-7 | Win | 100 | 40 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Baltimore Ravens. I like the Baltimore Ravens to cover the spread against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. The Ravens have responded well after getting upset in Vegas back in week 1. They won their next 2 games and even knocked off the big bad Kansas City Chiefs in the process. They have also played much better teams than the Broncos have this year. The Ravens are 2-1 after beating Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, and beating the Lions with Jared Goff. Their 1 loss also came to the Raiders who are undefeated. The Broncos are an undefeated 3-0 but they have beaten the Giants, the Jags, and the Jets who all have a combined record of 0-10 this year. The Ravens have a lot of tricks up their sleeve with Lamar Jackson and they will be able to find holes in the Denver defense. The Broncos are a good team but they haven't proven themselves yet and until they do I will be on the Ravens to get the win and cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 27-17 Ravens. | |||||||
10-03-21 | Cardinals +4.5 v. Rams | 37-20 | Win | 100 | 39 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arizona Cardinals. I like the Arizona Cardinals to cover the spread against the LA Rams on Sunday. Both of these teams are undefeated here in what is one of the toughest divisions to play in. The Cardinals have come out flying this season winning all 3 games with a high-flying offense that has scored 30+ points in each of their games so far. Kyler Murray is leading his team to success whether it be a shootout in a close game with the Vikings, a 2nd half come back against the Jags, or just a straight up blow out against the Titans on the road. They are not just winning games but they are doing it in every possible type of game and I think they have the talent on their team to keep it up all year. The Rams have also looked good on both offense and defense, especially in their last game against the Bucs. Even though this is a divisional game, I think it will be a let down for the Rams. They just won a game against the defending Super Bowl champs and they probably put a lot of effort into that game to win it. I think they are going to be caught off guard against a good Cardinals team here in what will be a very close game. I like the Cardinals to keep it close and cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Cardinals. | |||||||
10-03-21 | Titans -6 v. Jets | 24-27 | Loss | -110 | 36 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tennessee Titans. I like the Tennessee Titans to cover the spread against the New York Jets on Sunday. The Titans stumbled in their first game of the year but they have looked much better now winning 2 games in a row. They will be missing some receivers here but between Derrick Henry and Ryan Tannehill, there is still enough talent on this roster to beat the bad Jets. The Jets put up a big 0 in their game last week in Denver and they have actually digressed as the season has gone on scoring less and less points each week. Luckily, they have hit the bottom and can't possibly score any less points in this game, but that doesn't mean they are going to score enough to win. Even with a weakened offense the Titans are still better than the Jets offense as Zach Wilson is still learning how things work in the NFL. I will take the established team with the veteran quarterback in this game. The Titans will cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 26-13 Titans. | |||||||
10-02-21 | Arizona State +3 v. UCLA | 42-23 | Win | 100 | 22 h 59 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arizona State. I like Arizona State to cover the spread against UCLA on Saturday. They won by 20+ points last week against Colorado and they have put up 30+ points in all of their games except for 1 this year. Jayden Daniels has been having a great season and I think he is going to perform very well in this game. The UCLA defense has not been that good this year and has let the other team score 24+ points in their last 3 games. I think Arizona State will be able to score a lot on them and keep this game a close one, possibly even pulling off the upset here. Arizona State has not allowed a lot of points against their defense this year also. UCLA has been allowing 30+ points in most of their games this year. I expect UCLA to give up a lot of yards and points in this game and I think the Arizona State defense will come up big here to win them this game. I like Arizona State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 30-27 Arizona State. | |||||||
10-02-21 | Baylor +4.5 v. Oklahoma State | 14-24 | Loss | -111 | 18 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Baylor. I like Baylor to cover the spread against Oklahoma State on Saturday. Baylor is undefeated this year ranked 21st in the country. They got a big win as an underdog in their last game over Iowa State. Oklahoma is also undefeated this year but their wins have not been that impressive. Most of their wins were by single digits and their offense has struggled a bit this year scoring 30+ points in just 1 game of their 4. I think this will be a tough matchup for 2 undefeated teams in the Big 12 looking to fight it out for the conference win. Baylor's offense has scored 29+ points in each game this year so I think they will be able to keep up with Oklahoma State if they start to pull away. Baylor is good enough to even pull off the upset here so I like Baylor to cover this spread. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Baylor. | |||||||
10-02-21 | Orioles v. Blue Jays -1.5 | 1-10 | Win | 100 | 12 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays -1.5. I like the Toronto Blue Jays on the runline against the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday. The Jays are in a must win scenario in these last 2 games and they couldn't have asked for a better team to play in this final series with everything on the line. They Jays have been winning a majority of their games in the last week and they have been scoring a lot of runs along with the wins. They will have Alek Manoah (8-2, 3.35 ERA) on the mound and he has been having a great rookie year for the team. He has allowed more than 3 runs on just 1 occasion in his last 6 starts and the team did not lose a single game in the month of September when he was the starter. John Means (6-8, 3.32 ERA) is up for Baltimore here but he has been giving up quite a few runs in his last start. The Jays still have the momentum on their side here to make a run at the playoffs so I expect them to give it their all in this game. I like the Jays to win in a blowout here on the runline. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Blue Jays. | |||||||
10-02-21 | Cincinnati -1.5 v. Notre Dame | 24-13 | Win | 100 | 14 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati. I like Cincinnati to cover the spread against Notre Dame on Saturday. Both of these teams are top 10 teams in the country. Cincinnati has looked very strong on both sides of the ball this year. Their offense is scoring over 40 points a game and their defense has given up less than 20 points a game. They had a bye last week so they have had an extra week to prepare for this game and they should also be rested and a lot healthier for this game as well. Notre Dame finally blew out a team when they beat Wisconsin last week but that was the only game that they have looked good in this year. They have had a few close games this year against bad teams where they defense has given up a ton of points. I think Cincinnati is good enough to go to the college football playoffs if they can go undefeated this year and I think they will have their mind set on that coming into this game. They are a better team at most positions and Desmond Ridder is a big difference maker. Ridder will find ways to get in the endzone in this game so I like Cincinnati to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-20 Cincinnati. | |||||||
10-02-21 | USC -7.5 v. Colorado | 37-14 | Win | 100 | 13 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: USC. I like USC to cover the spread against Colorado on Saturday. USC has had a disappointing start to their year at 2-2 with both of those losses coming against conference teams. Their 1 win against a Pac-12 team came against Washington State and at this point, Colorado looks to be just about as bad as them. Colorado has put no more than 13 points in game against a team from the FBS this year. USC has to be upset about losing at home last week to Oregon State and I think they are going to come out in this game and make a statement against this bad Colorado team. Colorado has allowed 30+ points against them in their last 2 games and I think the same will happen in this game. I expect USC to get right here with a big win so I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 34-17 USC. | |||||||
10-01-21 | BYU -7.5 v. Utah State | 34-20 | Win | 100 | 62 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: BYU. I like BYU to cover the spread against Utah State on Friday. BYU is ranked 13th in the country and they have had a strong 4-0 start to their season this year. All 4 of their wins this year have been by 8+ points. Baylor Romney got his first start of the season in their last game against USF and he was great in that game with 3 TDs and 300+ passing yards. Their receivers have a lot of talent on this team and when they throw the ball they have options on who to go to, there were 2 receivers in their last game with 100+ receiving yards on the day. Utah State started their season strong going 3-0 against subpar teams but once they played a real tough opponent in their last game, they were blown out 27-3, failing to score even a touchdown in that game. The talent level is just too different between these 2 teams here. BYU is much better and they will be looking to have a very strong season and try to make a case for the playoffs for themselves, and that means going undefeated is a requirement. They will be able to shut down Utah State here with their defense so I like BYU to cover the spread against them. T.M Prediction: 34-20 BYU. | |||||||
09-30-21 | Jaguars v. Bengals -7.5 | 21-24 | Loss | -100 | 37 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bengals. I like the Cincinnati Bengals to cover the spread against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday. The Bengals are off to a good start this year with their 2-1 record they are starting their season with a winning record for the first time in a while. They had a big win last week in a divisional game against the Steelers, a game in which they came out as the 14 point victors. Joe Mixon is starting to establish himself more and more in the running game in each of their games thus far, coming off 1 where he had 90 rushing yards. He should have a good game here which will help Joe Burrow complete his play-action passes much more efficiently in this game. The Jags have a new coach and a new QB and so far, they have started their season 0-3. Every game they have lost this season has been by 10+ points, including a game last week against the Cardinals where they had a lead at halftime. They were not able to do anything in the 2nd half and were completely shut out in the 4th quarter of that game. Their inability to finish games is going to be a problem and since Joe Burrow is finally finding ways to win games with his team, I like the Bengals here to cover the spread. T.M. Prediction: 27-14 Bengals. | |||||||
09-29-21 | Reds v. White Sox -1.5 | 1-6 | Win | 120 | 13 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: White Sox -1.5. I like the Chicago White Sox to beat the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. They have won 3 games in a row, 2 of those wins were by 2+ runs. They completely destroyed any little hopes the Reds had left of making it to the postseason with a 7-1 win yesterday, it would not have mattered though since the Cardinals won their game. Carlos Rodon (12-5, 2.47 ERA) is starting and he has been great all season. He has allowed more than 2 runs in a game just 1 time in his last 9 starts. After a 4 game win streak where they scored 7+ runs in each game, the Reds were able to score just 1 run against the White Sox yesterday snapping their streak. Sonny Gray (7-8, 3.99 ERA) is starting and he has allowed quite a few runs in his last few starts. With nothing left to play for here for the Reds, I expect the White Sox to win this game by -1.5 once again. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 White Sox. | |||||||
09-26-21 | Packers +3.5 v. 49ers | Top | 30-28 | Win | 100 | 103 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Green Bay Packers. I like the Green Bay Packers to cover the spread and upset the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. The Packers looked very good against the Lions on Monday night. Their offense was running well throughout that entire game and their defense finally kicked in and started really shutting the Lions down when they needed to in the 2nd half. Aaron Rodgers showed everyone in that game that week 1 was "just 1 game" and that there is still plenty of season left for them to hit their full stride. They scored 35 points while the defense held the Lions to 17, allowing no points in the 2nd half of that game. The 49ers have looked good in their first 2 games as well but have been a little wishy washy. In their first game their offense looked great putting up 41 points on the Lions but their defense allowed them to come back in that game letting the Lions score 33 points. Then last week, the 49ers defense played great as they held the Eagles to 11 points but their offense only managed to put up 17 points themselves. Aaron Rodgers looks like he's ready for the season now and he has a lot of weapons to work with on that offense in both the running game and the passing game. They will be looking to be the best in the NFC this season and that starts here with taking down one of the undefeated teams. I like the Packers to cover the spread here and win the game in an upset. T.M. Prediction: 30-23 Packers. | |||||||
09-26-21 | Bengals v. Steelers -3 | 24-10 | Loss | -110 | 32 h 26 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Steelers. I like the Pittsburgh Steelers to cover the spread against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. The Steelers started their year off strong with an upset win over the Bills in Buffalo but then lost at home to the Raiders in their last game. They will be at home for a 2nd game in a row and they have the Bengals in a divisional battle here. The Steelers will be angry about losing last week in their first home game and they will make sure to not let it happen again here. They still have one of the best defenses in the league and the way the Bengals moved on offense last week, they should be able to stop them in this game. The Bengals lost to the Bears last week 20-17 in a game that they had every opportunity to take. The game was 7-3 up until the 4th quarter when they let the Bears pull away 20-3 before starting to come back. Andy Dalton left injured in that game and their defense was not able to stop the rookie QB Justin Fields. Now they will have a much more seasoned Steelers team on their hands here. Burrow also threw 3 interceptions against the Bears and if he is going to turn the ball over like that in this game then the Steelers defense is going to have a field day with him. I like the Steelers to bounce back at home in this game and get the win and the cover. T.M. Prediction: 23-17 Steelers. | |||||||
09-26-21 | Chargers v. Chiefs -7 | 30-24 | Loss | -104 | 32 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas City Chiefs. I like the Kansas City Chiefs to cover the spread against the LA Chargers on Sunday. The Chiefs were handed their first loss of the season last week to the Baltimore Ravens on the road and the stinger is the score as they lost 36-35. They had a chance to win that game with a field goal in the dying seconds of the game but Clyde Edwards-Helaire fumbled the ball away at the worst possible time giving the Ravens the win in an upset. They will be angry from that loss and they will be looking to take it out on the Chargers here as it is a divisional game. Justin Herbert is a good QB but he still has a few more things to learn and he also lacks the weapons that Mahomes and the Chiefs possess. The Chiefs have a very good offense with some of the most talented players in the NFL. The Chargers have some good vets on their team but no where near as good as the Chiefs. Their defense also allowed a ton of yards to the Ravens last week so I expect that problem to get corrected in practice before coming into this game. The game as at Arrowhead with all the Chiefs fans too. I like the Chiefs here to cover in a bounce back win for them. T.M. Prediction: 35-21 Chiefs. | |||||||
09-25-21 | Troy -23.5 v. UL-Monroe | 16-29 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Troy. I like Troy to cover the spread against Louisiana Monroe on Saturday. Troy has been playing well in their games this season, more specifically their defense. They have only allowed double digit points to 1 team this season in their loss to Liberty, and they only allowed 21 points in that game. LA-Monroe has only played in 2 games but they have looked awful in both. Their first game was a slaughter losing by 35 points against Kentucky. Their last game they won by 5 points, but it was against Jackson State, a team from the FCS that they should have pulled away from and won by a much larger margin. LA-Monroe just isn't that good though so those are the kinds of teams that are on their similar skill level. When Troy went up against a team from the FCS in their game, they won 55-3. Troy is the better team here and they have a good enough defense to stop LA-Monroe here. I expect Monroe to struggle to score points here as Troy pulls away making the gap larger and larger with every point they score. I like Troy to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 35-7 Troy. | |||||||
09-25-21 | Marlins v. Rays -1.5 | 3-7 | Win | 106 | 14 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Rays -1.5. I like the Tampa Bay Rays on the runline against the Miami Marlins on Saturday. The Rays have been playing much better lately. They have 3 wins in their last 4 games and all of those wins were by 2+ runs. When the Rays win their games they are not usually close either, the last 8 games that they have won have all been by 2+ runs as well. Shane McClanahan (9-6, 3.51 ERA) is starting and he has been good in most of his starts this season. He is a rookie pitcher so the Marlins have never seen any of his pitches in a a game against him. The Marlins have lost their last 3 games in a row and all of those losses were by 2+ runs. Sandy Alcantara (9-13, 3.05 ERA) is starting and he has been good this season but the Rays have started scoring a lot of runs lately and they are the 1st place team in the AL East for a reason. No matter well he is pitching they will find ways to break him in this game and put up the runs. They Rays still have to clinch the division title but the Marlins really have nothing to play for here and they can't even play spoiler as the Rays are going to the playoffs either way. I like the Rays to win this one by -1.5. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Rays. | |||||||
09-25-21 | Colorado State v. Iowa -22.5 | 14-24 | Loss | -112 | 11 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Iowa. I like Iowa to cover the spread against Colorado State on Saturday. Iowa has had some strong showings in their first few games to start the season here. They have an upset win over their rival Iowa State by 10 points in a shocker. They also have a 28 point win over Indiana and a 23 point win over Kent State, both of those games were at home. Colorado State bounced back with a big win over Toledo last week but they still have 2 home losses to Vanderbilt and to South Dakota State. Iowa has a good defense which will make it difficult for the Rams to move the ball on the road here. The only game Colorado State won this season, they were able to run the ball in it. Iowa has not allowed any of their opponents to rush for 100+ total yards in a game against them this season. Iowa will be able to stunt their offense and pull away themselves on the scoreboard. I like Iowa to cover this spread here at home. T.M. Prediction: 35-3 Iowa. | |||||||
09-25-21 | Rutgers v. Michigan -20 | Top | 13-20 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 60 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Michigan. I like Michigan to cover the spread against Rutgers on Saturday. Michigan has looked good this season on both offense and defense and they look like they are getting back to that powerhouse team that they used to be. All of their wins this season have been by 21+ points, their most impressive one was a 31-10 win over Washington. They pretty much ripped out Washington's game plan in that one and used it against them as they were able to tear their defense up in the run game while stopping it themselves with their defense. This will be their first conference game this season and they will be out to make a statement in this game. Michigan is not just looking for a Big 10 title at this point, they want consideration for the college football playoffs so I expect them to win their games in blowout fashion, especially these important conference ones. Rutgers has also been winning their games by a large margin but between Temple and Syracuse, those are the toughest opponents they have faced this season and they only came away with a 10 point win over the Orange. Michigan has a solid defense and will be able to stop the Rutgers offense here. They also have a very good running game and a smart quarterback who makes good decisions when he throws the ball. I like Michigan to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 42-10 Michigan. | |||||||
09-25-21 | Georgia -35 v. Vanderbilt | 62-0 | Win | 100 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Georgia. I like Georgia to cover the spread against Vanderbilt on Saturday. Georgia is ranked 2nd in the country and they are coming off of some wins by large margins after getting their 10-7 win over Clemson in week 1. Their defense held UAB to 7 points winning that game by 49 and they held South Carolina to 13 winning that one by 27. Vanderbilt is one of the worst teams in the SEC, if not the worst. They just lost by 18 at home to Stanford and the Cardinal is no where near as good as Georgia. What's even worse is they opened the season with a 20 point loss at home to East Tennessee State. Georgia has one of the best defenses in the country and it will be tough for Vanderbilt to find ways to score here. Georgia likes to throw the ball so they will be good for some quick scores to go up a lot here but their defense will also be keeping the Commodores in check. I like Georgia to cover the spread here as they will keep Vanderbilt off the scoreboard for quite some time. T.M. Prediction: 48-7 Georgia. | |||||||
09-24-21 | Liberty -6.5 v. Syracuse | 21-24 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Liberty. I like Liberty to cover the spread against Syracuse on Friday. Liberty has started their season undefeated after 3 games and they have looked really good with their offense. Malik Willis has done nothing but impressed since he started the season. He is not only playing well and passing accurately but he is also finding ways to get himself out of high pressure situations and he has been making some wonky Patrick Mahomes style throws in their games that just make you wonder how even got the pass off and to the receiver. He is a special kind of talent that is leading his team to victories by large margins, not just squeaking by. Syracuse is 2-1 this year but their 2 wins came against Albany and Ohio. As soon as they faced a tougher opponent in Rutgers they lost and were not able to do much with the ball in a 17-7 game. Liberty is just the better team here and they have a quarterback that will do what he needs to do to make the smart plays and the big plays to win this game. I like Liberty to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-20 Liberty. | |||||||
09-23-21 | Marshall +7 v. Appalachian State | 30-31 | Win | 100 | 30 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Marshall. I like the Marshall to cover the spread against Appalachian State on Thursday. Marshall has not had any troubles of offense this season, scoring almost 40 points in every single game. Their offense is spread out evenly as they have a good running game and passing game that they can use to move the ball down the field well. They suffered their first loss of the season last week against East Carolina, losing that one by 4. App State has also looked good on offense as they have been scoring some points in their games. Their 1 loss came against Miami by 2 points. The last time these 2 teams played was last year and Marshall won that game 17-7. This will be a game that both teams are going to get up for so I like it to stay close as I think no one is going to pull away by a lot here. Marshall will also be looking to repeat the result from last year. Both teams are strong enough where their goals for the season are to win their own conference titles. I expect this game to be close between 2 good offensive teams here so I like Marshall to cover. T.M. Prediction: 30-27 App State. | |||||||
09-20-21 | Orioles v. Phillies -1.5 | 2-0 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 47 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Phillies -1.5. I like the Philadelphia Phillies on the runline against the Baltimore Orioles on Monday. The Phillies have just 1 loss in their last 5 and 2 of those have been by 2+ runs. Ranger Suarez (6-4, 1.50 ERA) is starting and he has pitched in 36 different games this season, both as a starter and as a reliever. He has only allowed more than 2 runs in 1 of those appearances all year. The Orioles are currently on a 3 game losing streak, losing all of those by 2+ runs. John Means (5-7, 3.41 ERA) is starting for Baltimore and they have not won in his last 8 starts. The Phillies are playing much better right now and they really need to win every game here. Theyit just 3.5 games out of a wildcard spot but they are also just 2 games behind the Braves for the division lead. They have a real chance to make the playoffs here with either route so I like them to turn it on in this game and win by -1.5. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Phillies. | |||||||
09-19-21 | Rams -3.5 v. Colts | 27-24 | Loss | -108 | 34 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Rams. I like the LA Rams to cover the spread against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. The Rams looked good in week 1 with their new quarterback Matthew Stafford. He threw for 300+ yards and had 3 touchdown passes in the game as his team scored 34 points. He also had some really good targets in Cooper Kupp and Van Jefferson on the receiving side. The Colts looked disappointing in their game in week 1. They lost at home to the Seahawks and only managed to put up 16 points in the process. Carson Wentz didn't play a bad game but he has no wide receivers to throw the ball to. Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines led the team in both rushing yards and receiving yards. You cannot run an NFL offense like that and it will not go very far if it continues. The Rams have the good QB and the weapons surrounding him in both the running and receiving. The Colts already suffered a big loss at home in week 1 and they will be sufferring from another in week 2. The spread is small here but the Rams will win this game by at least a touchdown. I like the Rams to cover. T.M. Prediction: 31-17 Rams. | |||||||
09-19-21 | Raiders v. Steelers -6 | 26-17 | Loss | -110 | 34 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Steelers. I like the Pittsburgh Steelers to cover the spread against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. The Steelers went on the road in week 1 as an underdog and not only did they cover the spread, they came out of that game with the upset victory and it was in Buffalo. The Bills have a very good team this year on both offense and defense. The Steelers were able to go into Buffalo and hold their good offense to just 16 points. The Steelers themselves have a very good defense. The Raiders also came away with their own upset in week 1 on Monday night football. They were at home for that game though, and Derek Carr threw for 400+ yards in their new stadium. He will not be able to do that here on the road in Pittsburgh against this defense. They will struggle to move the ball all day against this team, possibly the best defense in the NFL right now. Big Ben will find ways to move the ball down the field in this game as the Raiders do not have a great defense. I like the Steelers here at home to get the job done and cover this spread. T.M. Prediction: 27-17 Steelers. | |||||||
09-19-21 | Bengals +2.5 v. Bears | 17-20 | Loss | -110 | 34 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bengals. I like the Cincinnati Bengals to cover the spread against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The Bengals won their home opener against the Vikings in OT last week. That was a game where the Bengals led for most of the game. Joe Burrow played well throwing for 250+ yards and did not have any interceptions. The Bears lost their first game of the season by 20 in LA against the Rams. They will be at home for this game but it really doesn't matter where they are playing the game, because Andy Dalton is still the starting quarterback. He was awful in the preseason and, although he played a bit better in week 1, he still got nothing going for this offense. I have said it already that this Bears team is going to be a bet against as long as Andy Dalton is still the starter. Justin Fields is a much better player in the game for the team and until the Dalton anchor is lifted, this team will be going no where. The Bears failed to cover an 8.5 point spread last week while the Bengals not only covered the spread, but they came out with an upset win. I like the Bengals in another upset win here in this game. T.M. Prediction: 24-20 Bengals. | |||||||
09-18-21 | White Sox -1.5 v. Rangers | 1-2 | Loss | -130 | 17 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox +1.5. I like the Chicago White Sox on the run line against the Texas Rangers on Saturday. The White Sox had lost 2 games in a row before pounding the Rangers 8-0 on Friday night. Lance Lynn (10-4, 2.50 ERA) is starting for the White Sox and he will be pitching up against his old team in this game. Lynn has been having a very good season this year. He has had a few blowups but for the most part he has been a solid pitcher who does not allow many runs. He has allowed more than 1 run in a game just once in his last 4 starts. The Rangers have lost their last 3 games by 5+ runs in each. Spencer Howard (0-4, 7.38 ERA) is starting and he has not been good. There has been 2 occasions in his last 3 starts where he allowed 5+ runs in the game. This game is in Texas and I think Lance Lynn is going to put on a show in front of his old team here. I like the White Sox to win this one by -1.5. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 White Sox. | |||||||
09-18-21 | Arkansas State v. Washington -16 | 3-52 | Win | 100 | 78 h 17 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington Huskies. I like the Washington Huskies to cover the spread against Arkansas State on Saturday. Washington are a big favorite in this game and will need to bounce back after losing their first 2 games of the season now. They lost their last game to Michigan and will be looking to get their first win of the season here. Dylan Morris was not too accurate in the passing game but still threw for 293 yards and 1 touchdown in that game. They did not establish any run game though as Michigan played very well on defense. They should be able to run the ball in this game though as they will set the tone and pace of the game early. Arkansas State are 1-1 on the season after losing their last game to Memphis. They scored 50 points in that loss to Memphis but Memphis does not have the greatest defense out there. Washington is much better on defense and should be able to stop the Red Wolves from moving the ball up the field and scoring touchdowns. The Red Wolves threw the ball a lot and did not have much of a run game at all. The Huskies have a great pass defense though as they have allowed just 150 passing yards total against them through 2 games. Washington has something to prove here after 2 bad losses so I expect the defense to play a good game as they run up the score on Arkansas State. Washington covers the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 42-13 Washington. | |||||||
09-18-21 | Georgia Southern v. Arkansas -22.5 | 10-45 | Win | 100 | 14 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arkansas. I like Arkansas to cover the spread against Georgia Southern on Saturday. Arkansas has been having a very good start to the season. They blew out Rice by 21 points in week 1 and then blew out Texas by 19 in a monster upset win for them. Now they get a bad Georgia Southern team at home for their 3rd straight game. Georgia Southern won their game in week 1 by 5 points against a team from the FCS. Fast forward to week 2 when they have an opponent from the FBS and they get slaughtered 38-6 by a weak FAU team. If Georgia Southern is losing to FAU by 30+ points then they don't stand a chance here. Arkansas has already pulled off a big upset against a ranked Texas team and will still be at home for this game with their fans filling the stadium. This is going to be a huge blowout for the Razorbacks. Their offense was very balanced with both their passing and their rushing. Give me Arkansas to cover this large spread. T.M. Prediction: 42-10 Arkansas. | |||||||
09-18-21 | Virginia Tech +2.5 v. West Virginia | 21-27 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Virginia Tech. I like Virginia Tech to cover the spread against West Virginia on Saturday. Virginia Tech started their year off on the right foot. They played a tough UNC team at home and came away with the 7 point victory. Then they got a weaker opponent in Middle Tennessee and they blew them out by about 20 points. West Virginia got a monster win by 66 points against LIU last week but when they played a tougher opponent in week 1 with Maryland, they ended up losing by 6. They did not get much of a run game going against Maryland and Doege struggled in that game turning the ball over twice. Braxton Burmeister has been the better quarterback through 2 games so I like the Hokies to cover this spread in an upset win in this rivalry game between 2 Virginia teams. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Virginia Tech. | |||||||
09-17-21 | Maryland v. Illinois +7 | 20-17 | Win | 100 | 12 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Illinois. I like Illinois to cover the spread against Maryland on Friday. Illinois is 1-2 this season but that 1 win came at the start of the season in a conference game against their Big 10 opponent Nebraska. Illinois was at home for that game and came in as the underdog coming out of the game with the 8 point win. Their offense did not play great in their last game against UVA but that one was on the road. So far, Illinois is 1-1 at home but has managed to put up a good fight in each game scoring 30 points in both. The game they lost at home to UTSA was by 7 points which is what the spread is in this game currently. Maryland is 2-0 but have not really faced any tough competition yet. This will be their 1st conference game of the year, not only that but, this will also be their 1st road game of the year as well. Illinois has already shown that they can play well at home and against these conference opponents. Maryland has been good this season but are here in their 1st conference game and their 1st road game as well. Give me the points with the home team as Illinois will cover this spread in a close game. T.M. Prediction: 30-27 Maryland. | |||||||
09-17-21 | Mariners v. Royals +1.5 | 6-2 | Loss | -155 | 11 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas City Royals +1.5. I like the Kansas City Royals on the run line against the Seattle Mariners on Friday. The Royals have now lost 2 games straight but they put in a very good effort against the A's. They lost 2 of the 3 games in that series but still put up 10 runs themselves in 2 of those. They were really trying to spoil the A's playoff hopes and with the Mariners slipping a bit now 4 games out of a wild card spot, they will be looking to spoil here as well. Brady Singer was supposed to get the start here, but he's out for undisclosed reasons and Jon Heasley will get his big league debut here. He's been amazing in the minors, as he's posted a 3.33 ERA and 120:34 K:BB in 105.1 innings across 22 starts at Double-A this season. The Mariners just took a big hit to their playoff hopes losing a very important series to the Red Sox. Chris Flexen (11-6, 3.73 ERA) is starting and he has now had 2 shaky starts in a row, allowing 3 earned runs and 5 earned runs in his last 2 starts. With the pressure mounting for them as the season closes, they now have to win this series on the road to have a chance. I like the worry free Royals here on the run line to get the upset win at home. T.M. Prediction: 6-4 Royals. | |||||||
09-16-21 | Giants +3.5 v. Washington Football Team | 29-30 | Win | 100 | 34 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Giants. I like the New York Giants to cover the spread here against the Washington Football Team on Thursday night football. The Giants lost their first game of the season to the Broncos 27-13 at home and they did not establish much of a run game in that one. They have a very good running back on their team in Saquon Barkley and I expect him to have a much better game here. Daniel Jones also played alright throwing for 267 passing yards and 1 touchdown. He also has 3 solid receivers to throw to in Shepard, Slayton, and Golladay. Washington lost their first game of the season to the Chargers 20-16 and they lost their starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in that game. Taylor Heinicke will be the starter and he played most of the game last week in that loss. He does have some NFL experience but he has been sort of a journeyman throughout his career, never really finding a home for himself. The receiving corps on this team are not the strongest either so he will not have a lot of big playmakers helping him out here putting more pressure on him to make the plays. This game is on Thursday so neither team get a lot of time to prepare and this is a divisional matchup too. This game is very important as the NFC East is wide open and has been for years for anyone to take and just dominate it so I expect this to be a very close game instead of a blowout for one side. I like the Giants to cover here. T.M. Prediction: 23-20 Giants. | |||||||
09-16-21 | Padres +1.5 v. Giants | 7-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres +1.5. I like the San Diego Padres on the run line against the San Francisco Giants on Thursday. The Padres finally got a win yesterday snapping their 5 game losing streak and avoiding the sweep from these Giants. They scored 9 runs in that game which was needed from their offense as they have been falling lately and are currently not in a wildcard spot. They are on the outside looking in just 1 game behind the Cardinals and have a half game lead over the Reds. Pierce Johnson (3-3, 2.98 ERA) is starting for the Padres and this will be his 2nd start of the season as the Padres will be using the bullpen in this one. Kevin Gausman (14-5, 2.65 ERA) is up for the Giants and he has allowed 3 runs in each of his last 2 starts. I expect him to get beat up on the mound today now that the Padres have found their bats. This is a desperate team right now and will need to do everything they can making sure they win every game for the rest of the season if they want to see themselves in the postseason. I like them to win here or at least keep it close so I am on the run line in this one. T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Padres. | |||||||
09-13-21 | Ravens v. Raiders +4.5 | 27-33 | Win | 100 | 102 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Las Vegas Raiders. I like the Las Vegas Raiders to cover the spread against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night. The Raiders looked pretty good in the preseason and they did not have many of their starters on the field. Derek Carr has made some improvements at practice and is looking like a much better quarterback now and I think he will translate that to the game. The Ravens looked good in the preseason but they played teams that were not playing any starters. They will have to travel to Vegas for this game and I think the Raiders will want to put a show on in front of their home fans. Raiders get the cover here. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Ravens. | |||||||
09-12-21 | Bears v. Rams -7.5 | 14-34 | Win | 100 | 78 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Rams. I like the LA Rams to cover the spread against the Chicago Bears on Sunday night. The Rams acquired Matt Stafford in a trade during the offseason and they will be eager to test him out in this game. He defintely has some better weapons here in LA than he did in Detroit and he was already a great quarterback over there, a bright spot on a dull team. He should get this eplosive offense moving again especially with Sean McVay calling the plays. The Bears have insisted that Andy Dalton will be the starting quarterback for them in the regular season and he has done nothing but look awful in the preseason. The offense clearly runs better with Justin Fields at the helm and until they make that change the Bears will be a bet aginst team so I like the Rams to cover in a blowout fashion. T.M. Prediction: 31-14 Rams. | |||||||
09-12-21 | Brewers -1.5 v. Indians | 11-1 | Win | 100 | 6 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers -1.5. I like the Milwaukee Brewers on the runline on Sunday over the Cleveland Indians. The Brewers have really started to destroy teams as we get closer to the playoffs with 3 of their last 4 games being won by 2+ runs. Brandon Woodruff (9-8, 2.48 ERA) is starting on the mound for them and he has been great all season. He struggled a bit in his last time out but I'm expecting a bounce back here. He has allowed 4+ runs on just 2 occasions in his last 10 starts. The Indians have not been playing well lately. They have just 1 win in their last 5, all 4 of those losses coming by 2+ runs. Aaron Civale (10-3, 3.25 ERA) is starting in this one and he has pitched well in his last 2 starts but he also had 3 rocky starts in his last 6 where he allowed 4+ runs. Woodruff is more consistent at the moment and the Brewers are hitting the ball very well scoring 13 runs already in just 2 games of this series against Cleveland. The Indians have only been able to put up 3 runs this series and all came in 1 game, getting shutout completely in their last. I like the Brewers -1.5 here. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Brewers. | |||||||
09-12-21 | Vikings v. Bengals +3 | 24-27 | Win | 100 | 71 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bengals. I like the Cincinnati Bengals to cover the spread against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. The Bengals did not look that bad in the preseason and their starters were not even playing in most of the games. Now they will have Joe Burrow at the helm for week 1 with some good young pieces at receiver and running back that he can work with. The Vikings did not look good at all in the preseason and even though they did not have many starters playing either, it was the defense that looked like it needed some improvement. Joe Burrow is an electric player and now with some NFL experience under his belt, he should be able to have a breakout season. I expect him to come out and make a statement here in their first game of the season at home. The Bengals have a chance to even upset the Vikings in this game so I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 24-21 Bengals. | |||||||
09-12-21 | Chargers +1 v. Washington Football Team | 20-16 | Win | 100 | 71 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Chargers. I like the LA Chargers to cover the spread against the Washington Football Team on Sunday. The LA Chargers did not look too good in the preseason but we did not get to see Justin Herbert even hit the field. He will be the starter in week 1 and he had a great season last year. He will continue that great play into this season now that he has some valuable experience as an NFL starter. His team also has a good running game to back him up and he has some veteran wide receivers that can make the big plays in the passing game. The Washington Football Team has a goo defense and some good quarterbacks but they lack some good weapons to throw the ball too. Their running game is also on the weaker side so they will need to play very well in the passing game to move the ball. The Chargers are more well rounded on their offense so I expect them to win this game here on the road. T.M. Prediction: 27-17 Chargers. | |||||||
09-11-21 | San Diego State +2.5 v. Arizona | 38-14 | Win | 100 | 57 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego State Aztechs. I like the SDSU Aztechs to cover the spread against the Arizona Wldcats on Saturday. The Aztechs won their first game of the season and their offense was pretty good, especially in the run game. They only had 100+ passing yards in that game but they put up 200+ rushing yards and played a good defensive game as well. Arizona lost their first game to BYU but their quarterback played well with 300+ receiving yards. They had no run game in that game though and a 1 dimensional offense will be a problem against a SDSU team that has a great defense. Arizona will not be able to move the ball well on this team and SDSU is they type to grind it out on defense and win a low scoring game. Arizona is not a good team so I think that SDSU will cover this spread and can even upset them in this game. T.M. Prediction: 26-20 SDSU. | |||||||
09-11-21 | Oregon +14.5 v. Ohio State | 35-28 | Win | 100 | 47 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oregon Ducks. I like the Oregon Ducks to cover the spread against the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday. Oregon won against Fresno State in their last game putting up 31 points in that game. They had a good running game rushing for over 150 yards and they also had over 150 passing yards in the game. Their defense came up big in that one with lots of tackles and multiple players getting the quarterback on the pass rush. OSU beat Minnesota in their first game putting up 45 points themselves but they got off to a very slow start in that game only putting up 10 points in the first half finding themselves behind. Minnesota's defense was able to keep them at bay for the first half but that did not last long after halftime. OSU only ended up winning that game by 14 points. Oregon has a much better defense than Minnesota so they should keep this a closer game. I like them to cover the spread here and keep it close. T.M. Prediction: 34-24 OSU. | |||||||
09-11-21 | Miami-OH v. Minnesota -18 | 26-31 | Loss | -113 | 47 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Golden Gophers. I like the Minnesota Golden Gophers to cover the spread against the Miami RedHawks on Saturday. Minnesota played a good game against OSU, especially in the first half, putting up 31 total points themselves in that game. Their offense was hot in both the passing game and the run game with 200+ passing yards and 200+ rushing yards in the game against OSU. They will be up against a much weaker RedHawks team now. Miami OH got smashed by Cincinnati in their last game only putting up 14 points in that game. They did not have much going on offense at all barely passing for 100+ yards and 100+ rushing yards. They are one of the worst in the MAC and Minnesota is a very good team. They will get the cover here in a blowout fashion. T.M. Prediction: 41-10 Minnesota. | |||||||
09-10-21 | Brewers -1.5 v. Indians | 10-3 | Win | 110 | 9 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers -1.5. I like the Milwaukee Brewers on the runline against the Cleveland Indians on Friday. The Brewers have lost 1 game in their last 5 with 2 of those wins coming by 2+ runs. Adrian Houser (8-6, 3.41 ERA) and he has been on a roll lately. He has only had 1 game in his last 6 starts where he allowed more than 1 run and he is coming off a 9 inning shutout in his last start. I expect him to continue that great pitching in this game. The Indians are coming off a win but they had lost their 3 games before that all of them by 2+ runs. Eli Morgan (2-6, 5.48 ERA) is starting for Cleveland and he has struggled this season. He did not allow any runs in his last start but he did walk 4 batters and that will get him into trouble here against a good hitting Brewers team. The Brewers are much better and I expect them to win this game by -1.5. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Brewers. | |||||||
09-07-21 | Blue Jays +1.5 v. Yankees | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays +1.5. I like the Toronto Blue Jays on the runline against the New York Yankees on Tuesday. The Jays have won 5 in a row now. Steven Matz (10-7, 3.80 ERA) is starting on the mound and he has been really good lately. He has not allowed 2+ runs in any of his last 6 starts. The Yankees have lost 3 in a row now and their last win was by 1 run run so their last 4 games the +1.5 against them has cashed. Gerrit Cole (14-6, 2.73 ERA) is starting for the Yankees and he has also been good lately. He has not allowed more than 1 run in his last 4 starts. The Blue Jays are hitting well and winning games right now while the Yankees are in a losing slump. Both of these pitchers are pitching very well right now not allowing many runs. This will stay a close game if the Jays don't outright win it. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Yankees. | |||||||
09-06-21 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Cardinals | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 8 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers runline (8* MONEY-MAKER). No need to overthink this one. This is a major mismatch, both on the mound and at the plate. In fact, I say the talent discrepancy between these starting pitchers absolutely warrants in laying the 1.5 runs on the Dodgers on the runline option. Miles Mikolas has a decent 14 to 5 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 16.1 innings of work. He gave up four runs over three innings to the Reds in his last outing though. Clearly, the sample size is too small for Mikolas this season to come to any conclusive conclusions. Max Scherzer on the other hand has posted a 1.29 ERA, a 0.77 WHIP and a 50 to 5 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 35 innings for his new team, going 4-0 in that span. Enough said! The play is LA on the runline! T.M. Prediction: 7-2 LA. | |||||||
09-04-21 | LSU -2.5 v. UCLA | 27-38 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 49 m | Show | |
I like the LSU Tigers to cover the spread against the UCLA Bruins on Saturday. LSU fininshed last season with an overall record of 5-5 and they will be looking to improve on that this year. UCLA did not even finish last season with a winning one going 3-4 through the year. LSU finished last season strong with wins against the Florida Gators and Ole Miss. UCLA finished their last season with losses against USC and Stanford. LSU has the better coach and is a more talented program. The line is pretty small here so I like LSU to cover the number. T.M. Prediction: 31-24 LSU. | |||||||
09-04-21 | Kent State v. Texas A&M -29 | 10-41 | Win | 100 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
I like Texas A&M to cover the spread against Kent State on Saturday. Kent State finished last season 3-1 but don't let that record fool you. Their 3 wins came against Akron, Bowling Green, and Eastern Michigan, all of whom had a losing record and were some of the worst teams in the MAC. They only beat EMU by 4 points too, then they capped their season off with a 29 point loss to Buffalo. Texas A&M is much better than Buffalo is and also plays in a tougher conference. They had some big double digit wins last season against much stronger opponents. They are the 6th ranked team in the country coming into this game and they are going to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 45-10 Texas A&M. | |||||||
09-04-21 | Miami-OH v. Cincinnati -22.5 | Top | 14-49 | Win | 100 | 6 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bearcats I have a hard time seeing Miami Ohio mustering up much of an offensive attack here today. The RedHawks went 2-1 last year, while tthe Bearcats went 9-1. Brett Gabbert isn't going to be able to keep pace with Desmond Ridder, who is out for a Heisman this season. The Bearscats are 5-1 ATS in their last six non-conference games. The RedHawks are just 3-10 ATS in their last 13 in the same position. I look for the home side to go up early, and then to cruise to victory; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 37-7 Cincy | |||||||
09-03-21 | Duke -6 v. Charlotte | Top | 28-31 | Loss | -116 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Duke Both teams have plenty of new faces on both sides of the ball. Each had difficulties last year, but most teams did during the abbreviated Covid season. The bottom line here for me though today gentlemen is that the Blue Devils hammered Charlotte 53-19 last year and I expect a similar sort of outcome today as well. Gunnar Holmberg doesn't have a lot of experience as QB, but he's been with Duke for three years. He knows the system and that's a small advantage he has. Duke gave up 38.1 PPG last year, but it was decimated with injury and COVID issues. I expect a BIG step up from this group today. The 49ers were also hit hard by COVID last season. Chris Reynolds is a decent QB, but I think he'll have his hands full today with this improved Duke defense. The Blue Devils are better across the board and I look for them to pull away in the fourth quarter. Lay the points. T.M. Prediction: 45-21 Duke | |||||||
09-02-21 | Bowling Green v. Tennessee -35 | 6-38 | Loss | -108 | 13 h 37 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tennesee Volunteers The Vols are retooled and revamped and a huge favorite for good reason here on Opening night for each club. Bowling Green on the other hand was a complete disaster last season. It went winless in the abbreviated campaign and it's once again expected to finish last in the MAC. The Falcons only averaged 11 points per game on 326 yards. They'll improve on the offensive side with five starters returning. However, the defense was a joke, allowing over 300 yards rushing per contest. The Vols will be out to run up the score here from the get go after their 3-7 season. Josh Heupel is the new head coach in Tennessee and he'll have 12 starters rurning. Joe Milton transferred from Michigan and he'll have plenty of weapons around him. I don't see Bowling Green competing whatsoever. It will likely get a few points in garbage time, but only because Tennessee has such a massive lead. Lay the points. T.M. Prediction: 52-17 Vols | |||||||
08-29-21 | Browns -5.5 v. Falcons | 19-10 | Win | 100 | 92 h 1 m | Show | |
I like the Cleveland Browns to cover the spread against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. The Browns have gone 2-0 through the preseason and have kept both of their opponents to 13 points each. Both quarterbacks played an alright game for them in their last. The Browns have already looked great on defense allowing a low amount of scoring against, and their offense will only get better as Mayfield and his gang take the field for some playing time here. The Falcons have gone 0-2 so far scoring a total of 20 points in 2 games. They have just been straight up bad in past years and still have not shown any signs of turning their franchise around. They are already not scoring and will now be facing a tough defense that has been on point lately. Cleveland should come in and take care of business covering the spread in this one as they are just the better team overall. T.M. Prediction: 24-13 Browns. | |||||||
08-28-21 | Bears v. Titans +2.5 | 27-24 | Loss | -110 | 67 h 58 m | Show | |
I like the Tennessee Titans to cover the spread against the Chicago Bears on Saturday. The Titans have been rolling so far going 2-0 through this preseason. They have scored 57 points in 2 games and are coming off a big 34-3 win over the defending Super Bowl champs the Bucs. Matt Barkley had a solid game going 12-16 in the passing game for 115 yards and 2 touchdowns. Even Logan Woodside had a good game going 7-8 for 64 yards and a touchdown. Their running game also had over 100 yards rushing for the day. The Bears are 1-1 coming into this game but they looked awful in their 41-15 blowout loss to the Bills last week. Andy Dalton could not get anything done and if Nagy is determined to have him start in week 1, he will definitely be in this one mucking up the passing game for them. The Titans can only get even better once they add some starters to the mix and with the way Dalton has looked so far, the Bears have another blowout loss on their hands here. T.M. Prediction: 20-17 Titans. | |||||||
08-28-21 | Nebraska v. Illinois +7 | 22-30 | Win | 100 | 2 h 51 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Illinois Off a 3-5 season, Nebraska is looking for a big win to kick things off on the right foot in 2021. The last time they had a winning season was alll the way back in 2016. Last season, when these two team met, Illinois took it to them, as they won 41-23. Illinois brings in a new Head Coach as well as Defensive Coordinator which should help get this defense filled with skill back on track here. Also, look for WR Isaiah Williams, former 4star QB recruit, to make some noise in this one with his pass catching ability. I'm expecting a much similar outcome to last year in this one. Take the Fighting Illini plus the points. T.M. Prediction 26-23 Illinois | |||||||
08-28-21 | Packers +8 v. Bills | 0-19 | Loss | -104 | 61 h 57 m | Show | |
I like the Green Bay Packers to cover the spread against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday. The Packers have gone 0-2 so far but have slowly worked their offense up in each game. They only scored 7 points in their 1st game but have upped that to 14 in their last. The Packers did not have any key players playing in those games and with this being the last chance to get some playing time before the real season, we should see some here. If Aaron Rodgers plays a few downs they will surely score some points along with their solid running backs and receivers. The Bills looked very good in their last game, but was that the Bills being so good or just the Bears not being able to produce. In their 1st preseason game, the Bills just squeezed out a 1 point win over the Lions. This should be much more competitive as the starters get some playing time here. This spread is pretty big and I like the Packers to keep it a close game. T.M. Prediction: 24-20 Bills. | |||||||
08-24-21 | Reds v. Brewers -1.5 | 4-7 | Win | 120 | 15 h 35 m | Show | |
I am on the Milwaukee Brewers runline against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday. The Brewers are currently on a 2 game win streak winning both of those games by 2+ runs. Their last 4 wins have all been by 2+ runs. Corbin Burnes (8-4, 2.13 ERA) will be starting for the Brewers and he has been great this season. The team has won the last 6 times he has started in the game. He has allowed just 1 earned run in his last 3 starts. The Reds have been hot currently on a 4 game win streak but I think that will end here for them. Tyler Mahle (10-4, 3.78 ERA) will be starting and he has 2 of his last 3 starts. He is coming off a game where he allowed 5 earned runs on 8 hits. The Brewers have the better pitcher in this one and Burnes will be able to shut the Reds down. Brewers win this one by -1.5 runs. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Brewers. | |||||||
08-23-21 | Royals v. Astros -1.5 | 7-1 | Loss | -123 | 11 h 39 m | Show | |
I like the Astros on the runline against the Kansas City Royals on Monday. The Astros just had their 3 game win streak snapped on Sunday, but they had won each of those by 2+ runs. The Astros will be out for revenge here as they lost their last series to the Royals 3-1 just a few days ago. Zack Greinke (11-3, 3.43 ERA) will be starting on the mound for the Astros and he has pitched well this year. He has been credited with 3 straight wins but his team has actually lost 3 games in his last 4 starts. He has only allowed 1 earned run in his last 13 innings of play and I expect that great form to continue here. The Royals have been on a great streak as they have just 1 loss in their last 7. Daniel Lynch (3-3, 5.12 ERA) is starting for the Royals and he has been having a good debut season. His team has won his last 3 starts and he has allowed 5 earned runs in that span. In his last start, he face this Astros team and allowed just 1 run through 7 innings as he picked up the win for his team. Now that the Astros have seen him pitch, I expect a much different result in this game. They will be looking to make up for that series loss they suffered and will want to make Lynch pay as he contributed to that. The astros win this one by -1.5 runs. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Astros. | |||||||
08-22-21 | 49ers -5 v. Chargers | 15-10 | Push | 0 | 100 h 8 m | Show | |
I like the San Francisco 49ers to cover the spread against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. The 49ers lost their 1st preseason game to the Chiefs 19-16. Josh Rosen played well in that game completing 10/15 for 93 yards and 1 interception. Try Lance had an up and down game only completing 5/14 passes, but it was for 128 yards scoring the only passing touchdown for the 49ers. Even Garoppolo went 3/3 the little that he played. JaMycal Hasty led the rushing with 63 yards on 10 carries with 1 touchdown, just 1 of 5 players that rushed for over 20 yards in that one. Trent Sherfield caught the only touchdown through the air with 1 catch for 80 yards. There were 5 players that averaged 10+ yards per catch showing that they can definitely move the ball efficiently through the air. The Chargers won their 1st preseason game against the Rams 13-6. Both quarterbacks played well spreading the ball around, but they both failed to score a touchdown through the air. Larry Rountree III played well rushing for 63 yards on 8 carries, but that was all they had going for them in the run game. A lot of their widerecivers only caught 1 pass as well, not allowing any to get a good rhythm going. The 49ers just have better pieces on their team and can execute deep plays much better. I think they cover the points in this one. T.M. Prediction: 23-14 49ers. | |||||||
08-21-21 | Phillies v. Padres -1.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 1 m | Show | |
I like the San Diego Padres on the runline against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. The Padres are on a 4 game losing skid. They have mustered up just 1 win in 9 games. They will be looking to turn things around here. Joe Musgrove (8-8, 3.11 ERA) is starting for the Padres in this one. His team has won 12 games this season when he has started this season. All but 2 of those wins were by 2+ runs. He allowed 6 earned runs in his last start. I think that was a bad game for him as he did not allow more than 2 in each game of his previous 4 starts. The Phillies just broke a 4 game losing skid with a win over the Padres. They have not been playing well either lately. Aaron Nola (7-7, 4.48 ERA) is starting for the Phillies. The team has lost 3 of the last 4 he started in. His team has lost 13 games this season when he has started. 10 of those losses were by 2+ runs. He has also allowed 9 earned runs in his last 3 starts. The Padres are the much better team here. I think it is time they get back on track in this one. Padres win by -1.5 runs. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Padres. | |||||||
08-21-21 | Colts +2.5 v. Vikings | 12-10 | Win | 105 | 77 h 39 m | Show | |
I like the Indianapolis Colts against the spread on Saturday against the Minnesota Vikings. The Colts won their 1st preseason game 21-18 against the Carolina Panthers. They came back from down 18-10 in the 4th quarter to win that one. Both of the quarterbacks for the Colts played an amazing game. Jacob Eason completed 15/21 passes for 183 yards and Sam Ehlinger completed 10/15 passes for 155 yards and just 1 interception. They had a great showing from the receivers as well, 5 different players receiving for 30+ yards. They also had 5 different players averaging 14+ yards per catch in that game. The Vikings had an awful game in their 1st preseason game losing 33-6 to the Denver Broncos. The Vikings did not do much at all on offense in that game, both quarterbacks completing less than 51% of their passes each for less than 55 yards. Their best player in that game was Asim Rose who rushed for 100 yards on 25 carries, averaging 4 yards per rush. He also led the team in the passing game with 1 catch for 18 yards. with such opposite performances in week 1, it is tough not to like the Colts here so I am on them to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 20-17 Colts. | |||||||
08-21-21 | Winnipeg -3.5 v. Toronto | Top | 23-30 | Loss | -110 | 41 h 28 m | Show |
I like the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to cover the spread against the Toronto Argonauts on Saturday. The Blue Bombers have gotten off to a great 2-0 start this season. Now they hit the road for the first time to play an Argos team that they just beat in their last game 20-7. The Blue Bombers have been scoring pretty consistently, but it's the defense that have been the real stars. In 2 games this season, they have held the Tiger-Cats to 6 points and the Argos to 7. The Argos are 1-1 on the season coming home for the 1st time in 2 years. They did not look good against the Blue Bombers a week ago as both of their quarterbacks struggled against this defense, failing to throw for 100 yards or a touchdown. Both barely completed 50% of their passes and 1 even threw an interception. They are going to see the same defense that they struggled against a week ago and I don't expect anything to change here. The Blue Bombers will be able to put points on the board while their defense shuts the Argos down. I like the Blue Bombers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 27-14 Blue Bombers. | |||||||
08-19-21 | Patriots -1.5 v. Eagles | 35-0 | Win | 100 | 28 h 11 m | Show | |
I like the New England Patriots ATS on Thursday against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Patriots had a very good showing in their 1st preseason game winning 22-13 against the Washington Football Team. Both Mac Jones and Cam Newton will be fighting to be the starter for week 1 so they will likely get some more playing time here. The Patriots were very run heavy in that game, their breakout player Rhamondre Stevenson as he rushed for 127 yards and 2 touchdowns on 10 carries. He is likely to get some more work in this game as well. The Eagles had a poor outing in their 1st preseason game losing that one to the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-16. Jalen Hurts got some work in that game but only completed 3/7 passes for 54 yards. Their running backs did not do much either in that one and the only receiver that had a good game was Quez Watkins who scored 1 touchdown on a 79 yard play, his only catch of the game. The best player for the Eagles in week 1 of the preseason was Joe Flacco as he completed 10/17 passes for 178 yards and 1 touchdown. If Joe Flacco is your best player on the field, even if it is just the preseason, your team has some real issues to address. The Patriots just looked like the better team last week so I like them to cover the spread on Thursday T.M. Prediction: 24-14 Patriots. |
