12-05-20 | Ohio State -23 v. Michigan State | 52-12 | Win | 100 | 72 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ohio State (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). This is a big game for Ohio State, which will look for a big win here to keep its Playoff hopes alive. The Buckeyes will be especially careful here today as well after a tighter than expected 42-35 win over Indiana as a 21.5 point favorite last weekend. Ohio State jumped out to a massive lead at half time, but it was outscored 28-14 in the second half. I don't expect it to let up after the break this weekend though. Justin Fields and the Ohio State offense averages 45.7 PPG, and I can't see this "on again, off again" MSU offense keeping pace. Note as well that Michigan State is a poor 1-5 ATS in its last six off a SU win, while Ohio State is 4-1 ATS in its last five vs. teams with losing records. I'm laying the points and expecting a major blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-05-20 | Memphis +1.5 v. Tulane | 21-35 | Loss | -106 | 72 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Memphis (8* ROUT). Memphis enters on top form and I expect it to carry that momentum over here after three straight victories. They won't be taking anything for granted either after last week's tougher than expected 10-7 win over Navy as 12 point favorites. A date vs. Tulane is just what the doctor ordered to keep the ball rolling as well, as the Green Wave enter off a 30-24 loss to Tulsa. Memphis averages 33.1 points per game, while allowing 29.4, while the Green Wave average 35.4 points per game, while allowing 27.8. These teams are suddenly moving in opposite directions and I look for that trend to carry over; play on Memphis! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-03-20 | Louisiana Tech +1.5 v. North Texas | Top | 42-31 | Win | 100 | 9 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Louisana Tech (10* TRADE-MARK). This is Louisiana Tech's final scheduled game of the season and I expect it to make the most of this situation. The Bulldogs have had several games canceled due to COVID. Louisiana Tech last played on Halloween when it defeated UAB by a score of 37-34 in double overtime. The Mean Green have also had a few games canceled due to COVID this year. Last week Tulane lost 49-17 to UTSA. I think Bulldogs' QB Aaron Allen is going to have a big day here vs. this suspect Mean Green secondary (note that LT averages 30.3 PPG.) UNT has a good offense, but it's defense is downright terrible as well. The Bulldogs are 7-1 ATS in their last eight road games versus a team with a losing home record, while UNT is a poor 1-5 ATS in its last six after scoring less than 20 points in its last game. Look for Louisiana Tech to pull away down the stretch! T.M. Prediction: 39-27 LT. | |||||||
11-28-20 | Rutgers v. Purdue -11 | Top | 37-30 | Loss | -110 | 76 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Purdue (10* BEST OF THE BEST). Rutgers has plenty of issues on both sides of the ball. That said, it enters off another loss against Michigan in which it scored 42 points. After the triple OT setback, I think the Scarelt Knights come out predictably "gassed" here. Rutgers' QB Noah Verdal has eight TD's, but he also has eight INT's. Purdue looks to bounce back here after a 34-31 loss to Minnesota. Jack Plummer had three TD's and one INT in the setback. The Boilermakers have done well in this spot for bettors for a while though, going 9-4 ATS in their last 13 following a SU loss, while Rutgers is 0-5 ATS in its last five following an ATS victory. Lay the points, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: 40-21 Purdue. | |||||||
11-28-20 | Texas Tech +11 v. Oklahoma State | 44-50 | Win | 100 | 72 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Texas Tech (8* MONEY-MAKER). The Red Raiders are coming off a hard-fought 24-23 win over Baylor, while Oklahoma State enters off a 41-13 loss to Oklahoma as seven-point underdogs. Texas Tech has won two straight in this series and they face a Cowboys side which comes in dejected after the setback to the Sooners. TT averages 28.1 PPG and it allows 38. OK State averages 25.9 PPG and it allows 21.1. The Red Raiders though have looked a lot better of late and note that OK State is just 3-7 ATS in its last ten after allowing 40 or more points in a 20 points or greater setback. Look for this one to come right down to the wire and grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 28-27 Oklahoma State. | |||||||
11-27-20 | Oregon -13.5 v. Oregon State | Top | 38-41 | Loss | -108 | 59 h 56 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oregon (10* TRADE-MARK). No upsets here, as I expect the "better" team to put the pedal to the metal from start to finish. Last week, Ducks' QB Tyler Shough threw for 334 yards and three TDs, while Oregon's defense forced four turnovers in the 38-35 win over UCLA. The Beavers started 0-2, but they come in off a win over Cal in their last game. QB Tristan Gebbia had a big day, but the defense allowed the Golden Bears 315 passing yards in the tight 31-27 victory. Oregon State is just 3-9 ATS in its last 12 as a home underdog, while Oregon is 5-1 ATS in its last six as a road favorite. Look for Shough to take full advantage of this shoddy Oregon State pass defense and lay the points with confidence! T.M. Prediction: 45-20 Oregon. | |||||||
11-27-20 | Wyoming v. UNLV +16.5 | 45-14 | Loss | -109 | 55 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UNLV (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). Wyoming hasn't played since November 5th, so I think that rest will definitely lead to rust today. UNLV missed its last game, but I think that'll actually benefit the Runnin' Rebels, who can regroup after lop-sided losses to San Jose State, Fresno, Nevada and SDSU. The Cowboys beat Hawaii, but then they lost two in a row to Nevada and Colorado State. Wyoming averages 29.7 PPG and it allows 26, while UNLV averages 17.2 and concedes 36.2. UNLV though is 7-2 ATS in its last nine after a bye week, while Wyoming is just 2-6 ATS in its last eight after back-to-back SU/ATS losses. I think Wyoming starts to look ahead to its game at New Mexico in the second half and I look for the Runnin' Rebels to take advantage; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 30-21 Wyoming. | |||||||
11-27-20 | Central Florida v. South Florida +25 | 58-46 | Win | 100 | 55 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: South Florida (8* MONEY-MAKER). USF has lost seven straight. Clearly the Bulls have many problems (mostly defensive). USF won't quit here. The Bulls know they aren't going to win this game, but they are going to give a 100% effort from start to finish. UCF did the same thing in its last game, but it fell to 5-3 after a tight loss to Cincinnati last week. After that "near miss," I believe the the Golden Knights come out flat to start this game and that's going to be the difference here for USF. Keep your eyes on Bulls' QB Jordan McCloud, who I look to have a big game here (so far in his limited time he has 937 passing yards, five TD's and just two INT's.) No outright, but closer than expected; grab up all those points! T.M. Prediction: 41-27 UCF. | |||||||
11-26-20 | New Mexico v. Utah State +5.5 | Top | 27-41 | Win | 100 | 75 h 4 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Utah State (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). Both teams are horrible. Both have similar poor numbers/stats on both sides of the ball. Neither can play defense and each struggles offensively. So why is Utah State the correct call here? Honestly, I think it does indeed have a legitimate shot at winning this one outright. Home field advantage, despite limited fans, is big in my opinion. Utah State is still 11-5 ATS in its last 16 at home and I like that strong trend to carry over here, as New Mexico is 0-5 SU its last five on the road! T.M. Prediction: 33-31 Utah State. | |||||||
11-21-20 | Missouri -6 v. South Carolina | Top | 17-10 | Win | 100 | 83 h 3 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Missouri (10* TRADE-MARK). Missouri comes in rested as it hasn't played since October 31st, when it lost 41-17 to the Gators. The Gamecocks enter off a 59-42 loss to Ole Miss, their third-straight and I expect them to have their hands full again here today. Missouri is dealing with a few covid issues, but it's still 2-0 against unranked opponents this year. Missouri QB Connor Bazelak has been great has completed 70 percent of his pases for 1,101 yards, four TD's and just one INT. The Gamecocks have been terrible though, allowing an average of 593 yards per game to the opposition during their three-game slide. Collin Hill has six TD's and six INT's and I believe he'll struggle to keep pace with his counterpart. The Gamecocks have an interim head coach as well. Both teams have plenty of issues, but this one sets up well for the well-rested Tigers from Missouri; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 35-21 Missouri. | |||||||
11-21-20 | Kansas State +11 v. Iowa State | 0-45 | Loss | -107 | 80 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: K-State (9* TD SPIKE ANNIHILATION). This is a rivalry game which these teams dub "Farmageddon." Iowa State QB Brock Purdy is having a poor season compared to last though and I think he'll struglge again here. K-State has Will Howard under center, as Skylar Thompson went down with injury at the start of the season. K-State still has plenty of playmakers though, including Deuce Vaughn, who is the only player in the Big 12 to lead his team in rushing and receiving. The Wildcats also have one of the best defenses in the confernce, led by LB Justin Hughes. Breece Hall is the focal point of the Iowa State offense, as he already has 1,034 rushing yards, which leads the nation. Look for the Wildcats to stack the box obviously. I believe this is going to be a dog-fight until the final moments, so I'm grabbing the points! T.M. Prediction: 27-21 Iowa State. | |||||||
11-20-20 | UMass v. Florida Atlantic -31 | 2-24 | Loss | -110 | 61 h 37 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Florida Atlantic (8* BANKROLL MONEY-MAKER). UMass is a disaster. It's an independent that's only playing four games and with Liberty up next, it's obviously going to go 0-4 straight-up. I think it'll struggle to score any points here as well. FAU has every reason to run up the score, as the Owls have won three straight and four of their first five and are in contention to win the conference. FAU is much better on both sides of the ball, but especially defensively as it concedes just 323 yards per game, which ranks 20th in the nation. FAU is also 5-1 ATS in its last six after a SU win and 7-3 ATS in its last ten when playing the role of favorite, while UMass is just 6-15 ATS in its last 21 as an underdog. This one has "BLOWOUT" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 43-7 FAU. | |||||||
11-19-20 | Tulane v. Tulsa -6 | Top | 24-30 | Push | 0 | 36 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Tulsa (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). Tulane is now 5-4 after three-straight victories, but I believe it'll finally stumble here in this difficult road venue. Tulsa is 4-1 and it's had three of its game postponed so far this season. The Golden Hurricane though enter off a big 28-24 win over SMU and I think they'll be too much for the Green Wave to handle. Tulane averages 36.7 PPG and it allows 27.6. Michael Pratt has 14 TD's and four INT's for TUlane, but he's also been sacked 20 times. Tulsa is averaging 29 PPG behind the solid play of QB Zack Smith, while the defense concedes only 21.8. Tulane is just 2-5 ATS in its last seven following a SU win, while Tualso is 4-1 ATS in its last five vs. the AAC. Tulsa just held SMU's offense to only 24 points, so I have a hard time seeing the Green Wave have much success this week either; lay the points, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: 33-20 Tulsa. | |||||||
11-18-20 | Toledo -6 v. Eastern Michigan | Top | 45-28 | Win | 100 | 27 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Toledo (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). Toledo's offense has looked great through two games, averaging 38 PPG. The Rockets defense has looked good in one game and poor in last week's 41-38 loss to WMU (note that two of those TD's given up were unfortunate late ones though.) EMU is 0-2 and it's allowing 32.5 PPG in the early going. When looking at the two QB's though, there's no comparison in my opinion. I like Eli Peters here over his counterpart Preston Hutchinson. This is a big opportuinty for Toledo's defense to have a bounce back performance and I look for it to make the most of it; I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: 40-21 Toledo. | |||||||
11-14-20 | Wisconsin v. Michigan +6.5 | 49-11 | Loss | -103 | 11 h 17 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Michigan (8*). Michigan has been a disaster so far this year, but I think it'll find a way to keep this one close vs. a Wisconsin team which hasn't played since October 23rd due to high Covid rates. Wisconsin is down to its backup QB because of that and with the extra time off, I think this talented Badgers offense comes out flat to start with. The strength of Wisconsin is its defense, but Michigan's offense has been its strength behind the play of versaitle QB Joe Milton, who had 344 yards and three touchdowns in last week's loss. This one has "upset" written all over, but I'll still recommend to grab as many points as you can! T.M. Prediction: 28-27 Michigan. | |||||||
11-14-20 | Florida State +10.5 v. NC State | 22-38 | Loss | -107 | 11 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: FSU (8*). Am I predicting a straight-up, outright upset? I am not. I do however expect the hungry Seminoles to at the very least, take this one right down to the wire. FSU comes in off its second straight blowout loss, so we don't have to question the Seminoles resolve here as they try to get back into the win column. NC State on the other hand looks poised for a letdown here after its tight 44-41 loss to Miami last time out. NC State has a tough Liberty team up next, so this also sets up as a look-ahead spot. I'm grabbing the points! T.M. Prediction: 33-27 NC State. | |||||||
11-14-20 | South Carolina +13.5 v. Ole Miss | 42-59 | Loss | -107 | 11 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: South Carolina (8*). South Carolina will be desperate here to snap a two-game losing streak and to atone for a poor 48-3 loss to Texas A&M last time out. Ole Miss broke a three-game slide with a 54-21 win over Vanderbilt. Rebels' QB Matt Corral had six TD's in last weekends win, but note that Ole Miss is just 2-7 ATS in its last nine after scoring 50 or more points in a SU/ATS victory in its last outing. The Gamecocks on the other hand are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 after a 45 points or larger loss in their previous outing. Another great situational play here, which is backed by some very strong trends. I'm grabbing the points! T.M. Prediction: 37-33 Ole Miss. | |||||||
11-14-20 | Hawaii +12 v. San Diego State | Top | 10-34 | Loss | -118 | 100 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hawaii (10* BEST OF THE BEST). SDSU was upset by SJSU last week. The Aztec defense remains among the best in the nation though, allowing just 13.7 PPG. SDSU QB Carson Baker had 261 yards passing, but now the Aztecs face a hungry and confident Hawaii offense which comes in off a 39-33 win over New Mexico. QB Chevan Cordiero had three second-half TD passes and I like the visiting side to carry that momentum over here. And with a game at currently 3-0 Nevada up next, this also sets up as a look-ahead spot for SDSU. I'm grabbing the points and expecting a solid cover down the stretch! T.M. Prediction: 27-25 SDSU. | |||||||
11-13-20 | Iowa v. Minnesota +3.5 | Top | 35-7 | Loss | -107 | 79 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota (10* ELITE OF THE ELITE). Both teams enter at 1-2. In a contest which I see being decided by whichever of these teams has its hands on the ball last, I'm going to recommend to grab as many points as you can. Minnesota finally got off the schneid with a 41-14 win over Illinois last time out, while Iowa broke a two-game skid with a 49-7 victory over MSU. To say this is a "revenge" game would be a bit of an understatement, as Iowa has won five straight in this series, including a 23-19 victory last season. Iowa QB Spencer Petras is just a game manager, as the focus is on Tyler Goodson at RB, who so far has 233 yards rushing and three TD's. The Gophers lost two tough/close games to open the season as well. In their win over the Illini they had 325 rushing yards and 216 yards through the air. RB Mohamed Ibrahim had 224 yards on 30 carries with four touchdowns. Minnesota is also 5-1-1 ATS in its last seven vs. teams with losing records, while Iowa is just 2-5 ATS in its last seven following an ATS victory. Both teams looked a lot better in their last outing, but Ibrahim is on a different level right now and I can't see the Hawkeyes keeping pace. Grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 29-27 Minnesota. | |||||||
11-12-20 | Colorado State v. Boise State -13.5 | Top | 21-52 | Win | 100 | 56 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Boise State (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). Boise State got hammered 51-17 at home last time out. The Broncos though were playing with their third-string QB in Cade Fennegan, who had 187 yards, two TD's and an INT. BYU streamrolled the Broncos, but I expect a bounce back here at home, even with Fennegan under center again. Fennegan was thrown to the wolves vs. BYU, but with that awkward adjustment game under his belt and now facing the lowly Rams, I expect a much different result here. CSU beat Wyoming 34-24, but it still allowed 465 yards of offense. The differene was that CSU managed to recover three turnovers. Turnovers are difference makers. Note that Boise State is 7-2 ATS in its last nine after allowing 50 or more points in its last outing. Look for the Broncos to pull away down the stretch and lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 40-21 Boise State. | |||||||
11-11-20 | Central Michigan v. Northern Illinois +8 | Top | 40-10 | Loss | -107 | 32 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Northern Illinois (10* TRADE-MARK). CMU comes in off a tight 30-27 win over Ohio last weekend. QB Daniel Richardson had a passing touchdown and a rushing touchdown in the victory. The Chips defense lost some key players over the offseason and I think they'll have their hands full with this hungry Huskies team, looking for its first win of the season. There's only six games being played in the MAC season, so every contest counts. NIU lost 49-30 to Buffalo in its opener. Ross Bowers took the majority of snaps and he had 202 passing yards and a touchdown. Let's not over-react to Week 1 results. These team's defenses are poor and I think that Bowers will have some opportunties tonight. No outright, but closer than expected; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 31-27 CMU. | |||||||
11-10-20 | Akron +27.5 v. Ohio | Top | 10-24 | Win | 100 | 12 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Akron (10* TRADE-MARK). Both teams come in off losses. The Zips got rushed 58-13 to WMU, while the Bobcats dropped a tight 30-27 decision to Central Michigan. Do I think that Akron is going to win this game outright? I do not. But I also don't expect Ohio to run up the score in the second half if it does in fact have a lead. That's going to leave the back door wide open for QB Zach Gibson to get some garbage production. Ohio is at Miami Ohio next week, so this sets up as a "look-ahead" as well for the Bobcats. Suffice it to say, I'm grabbing the points! T.M. Prediction: 37-21 Ohio. | |||||||
11-07-20 | Washington State +3 v. Oregon State | 38-28 | Win | 100 | 15 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: WSU (8*). While the outright isn't out of the question, in the end I'll recommend to grab up the points! WSU won this game in a shootout last year 54-53. Washington State turns to QB Jayden de Laura to make his first career start. Max Borghi is back in the backfield, he finished with 817 yards and 11 touchdowns last year. Overall the Cougars averaged 37.6 PPG, while allowing only 31.4. Oregon State averaged only 31.5 PPG and it allowed 32.5. Tristan Gebbia is now the starting QB in Oregon State after seeing limited time last year, but note that the Beavers are just 1-4 ATS the last five in this series in front of the home town crowd. Oregon State lost its top QB, WR and RB and I think it'll stumble out of the gate; that said, grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 33-30 WSU. | |||||||
11-07-20 | Rutgers +39.5 v. Ohio State | 27-49 | Win | 100 | 12 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Rutgers (8*). Ohio State comes in off a big win over Penn State, while Rutgers enters off a tough loss vs. Indiana. Do I think that Rutgers is going to pull off the upset here? Of course not. This pick is situationally based, as I believe that the home side will trot out the second unit in the second half as they get ready to hit the road and play at Maryland next weekend. I'm grabbing the points! T.M. Prediction: 40-20 OSU. | |||||||
11-07-20 | Clemson -5 v. Notre Dame | Top | 40-47 | Loss | -114 | 103 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Clemson (10* ELITE OF THE ELITE). The ACC is playing a 12-game schedule. Both teams are very similar, undefeated and each features top notch defensive units. Clemson is 7- and is the No. 1 ranked team in the nation. QB Trevor Lawrence will miss his second straight game due to Covid 19 issues. Backup DJ Uiagalelei threw for 342 yards, completing 30 of 41 passes with two touchdowns in his first career start, in a come from behind 34-28 win over Boston College last weekend. With that nervous start out of his way, I think that Uigalelei settles down nicely here on the road. Travis Etinnie had two TD's last week and as good as ND's defense is, I think it'll have its hnads full. Brian Kelley and the Irish are 6-0 after defeating Georgia Tech last time out. Clemson though is 11-2 ATS in its last 13 as a road favorite. The Tigers only allow 3.0 YPC, and the run is the strength of Notre Dame's offense. If Lawrence were playing, this spread would be significantly higher. The value is on the visiting side to roll! T.M. Prediction: 30-20 Clemson. | |||||||
11-07-20 | UMass +45 v. Marshall | 10-51 | Win | 100 | 98 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UMass (9* BEST OF THE BEST). After getting blanked 41-0 by Georgia Southern, I look for the Minutemen to put some points on the board today. UMass is only playing three games this year, so clearly this one counts! The Herd have only allowed 9.4 PPG in the early going, but I look for Marshall to send in the second unit in the second half, as it looks ahead to its game vs. Charlotte, which it inexplicably lost to last year. I like Mike Fallon to get some production on the second half for UMass. I love Marshall to win this game, but everything points to it being a lot closer than what this spread would suggest; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 40-14 Marshall. | |||||||
11-06-20 | San Jose State v. San Diego State -8.5 | Top | 28-17 | Loss | -108 | 84 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: SDSU (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). Both teams are 2-0. Their competition has been weak, and now each faces a stiffer test this weekend. SDSU was one of the best teams in the league last year though, while SJSU had a combined seven wins over its last three years. The Spartans and Nick Starkel have looked great in the early going, but I expect a predictable step back here in this difficult road venue. The Aztecs look fantastic on both sides of the ball. Last year they were among the defensive leaders and this season they're No. 1 in allowing just 6.7 PPG. The Aztecs dominant run game and defense are the difference makers for me; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 34-14 SDSU. | |||||||
11-06-20 | Miami-FL -10 v. NC State | 44-41 | Loss | -106 | 82 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Miami Florida (8* MONEY-MAKER). NC State was off last week, but previous to that it fell 48-21 to UNC. Miami is looking for its third-straight win after a narrow 19-14 win over UVA last time out. D'Eriq King had 322 yards passing and two TD's vs. UVA on October 24th. Miami's defense did a great job in slowing down UVA QB Brennan Armstrong, allowing just 181 yards through the air, so I have a difficult time seeing NC State's QB duo producing much here. Bailey Hockman and Ben Finley have split time under center and whoever gets the call here will likely be without the help of No. 1 RB Ricky Person Jr., who left with a concussion in the UNC loss. NC State is also just 2-8 ATS in its last ten vs. teams with winning records, while Miami is 6-2 ATS in its last eight vs. a team with a winning record. I like King to have another big day here and I look for the Hurricanes to pull away for the comfortable cover in the end! T.M. Prediction: 38-20 Miami Florida. | |||||||
11-05-20 | Wyoming -3.5 v. Colorado State | Top | 24-34 | Loss | -109 | 61 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Wyoming (10* ELITE OF THE ELITE). Wyoming comes in off a relatively simple 31-7 win over Hawaii last Thursday and I like the Cowboys to carry that momentum over into another solid win and cover on the road in this favorable matchup. The Rams come in off a 38-17 loss to Fresno State, falling behind 24-10 at half-time and never able to recover after that. Wyoming held the ball for 17 more minutes than the Warriors in its opening victory, as QB Levi Williams had 339 passing yards and a touchdown. Colorado State allowed 348 passing yards in last week's loss, and that doesn't bode well facing the red hot Williams. This is a poor matchup for the Rams' defense and I like the deeper and more talented Cowboys to take advantage; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 33-20 Wyoming. | |||||||
11-04-20 | Buffalo v. Northern Illinois +11.5 | Top | 49-30 | Loss | -110 | 36 h 35 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Northern Illinois (10* TRADE-MARK). Northern Illinois has plenty of new faces on both sides of the ball this year, but starting QB Ross Bowers is back under center. Clearly having stability at the QB position to open the year is a huge plus. Kyle Vantrease starts for Buffalo, but I see no advantage between these players. The QB position is a wash this week. Buffalo is the better team, but I expect it to get caught looking past its lowly opponent here and I believe it'll take the foot off the gas in the second half. No outright upset, but much closer than what this spread would suggest; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Buffalo. | |||||||
11-04-20 | Eastern Michigan v. Kent State -6 | 23-27 | Loss | -109 | 35 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kent State (8* MONEY-MAKER). EMU was last in the Mid-American West conference with a 6-7 record last year, while the Golden Flashes finished third with a 7-6 record. Kent State won this game 34-26 last year, but I expect a larger blowout win today. EMU had a strong passing game last year, but a weak run game. The Eagles welcome back QB Mike Glass III, who led the MAC in passing yards. But Kent State finished last year on a winning run and I expect that momentum to get carried over here. Kent State's Dustin Crum led the team in both passing and rushing yards. The Flashes are also 4-1 ATS in their last five at home, while EMU is 0-5 ATS in its last five in this series. I like Crum and the Flashes to pull away down the stretch for the comfortable cover; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 45-21 Kent State. | |||||||
10-31-20 | Oklahoma -14.5 v. Texas Tech | Top | 62-28 | Win | 100 | 107 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Okalahoma (10* TRADE-MARK). Okalahoma enters having won two in a row after smashing TCU 33-14 on Saturday, covering as a 6.5-point favorite. Texas Tech improved to 2-3 after beating WVU 34-27 as a 2.5 point underdog. Oklahoma held TCU to just 351 yards of total offense and Desmond Ridder leads an offense which averages 39.8 PPG. The Red Raiders made a QB change last week and Henry Colombi had 169 yards and a touchdown. Overall Texas Tech though averages 32.2 PPG, but it allows 37. Oklahoma is also 4-1 ATS in its last five after posting more than 450 yards in its previous game. Rattler is coming off his best game ever and I think he carries that confidence and momentum over here. Lay the points, expect a rout! T.M. Prediction: 50-20 Oklahoma. | |||||||
10-31-20 | Arkansas v. Texas A&M -11 | 31-42 | Push | 0 | 107 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Texas A&M (8* BLOWOUT). Arkansas is coming off a big win over Ole Miss, but I expect it to predictably stumble here. Texas A&M enters having won two in a row after dispatching Mississippi State last weekend. Arkansas has ten interceptions in the early going. Feleipe Franks has been decent so far in the early going, but now he faces a tough Aggie team and defense which is 3-1 so far. A&M QB Kellen Mond has nine touchdowns and only two interceptions, while the Aggies are also averaging 172.3 YPG on the ground. The step up in competition will prove to be too much for Franks. I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: 40-21 A&M. | |||||||
10-31-20 | Boston College v. Clemson -31 | 28-34 | Loss | -108 | 99 h 12 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Clemson (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). I got down early before the news of Trevor Lawrence contracting Covid 19, so I have a significantly worse line than what you have (I sure hope so anyways!) Regardless though, I expect the Tigers to lay the hammer down here on the hapless Eagles. Clemson most recently smashed Syracuse 47-21. BC averages 278.5 yards per game passing behind Paul Jurkovec, but the run game averages only 99.2 YPG, which ranks 89th in the country. BC allows an average of 25.0 PPG, but it has many players questionable for this one, including defensive lineman Izaiah Henderson, defensive back Jio Holmes, wide receiver Ethon Williams, tight end Hans Lilia, wide receiver Justin Bellido and running Pat Garwo III. Clemson only allows 13.5 PPG, which is ranked 12th in the nation. I think the Tigers' defense will look to take responsibility for the win today and I have a hard time seeing BC mustering any sort of offensive attack. Clearly there's going to be a bit of a drop off on the offensive side for Clemson with DJ Uiagalelei under center, but this one still has "blowout" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 48-12 Clemson. | |||||||
10-30-20 | East Carolina v. Tulsa -17.5 | Top | 30-34 | Loss | -110 | 85 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Tulsa (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). ECU lost to Navy 27-23 two weeks ago, but did not play last week. Tulsa is rolling along, as it's 3-0 ATS. Last year the Golden Hurricane smashed the Pirates 49-24 as seven-point road favorites and I expect a similar, or even bigger blowout here at home. The Pirates are 1-3 and they average 31 points, while conceding 37.8. ECU starting QB Holton Ahlers tested positive for Covid 19 and didn't play in his team's most recent loss to Navy two weeks ago, but he may see some time here. Regardless, the QB issue for the Pirates isn't a good one at the moment, as backup Mason Garcia will likely see some time as well tonight. Tulsa averages 27.7 PPG and it allows 18.3. The Golden Hurricane are also 4-1 ATS the last five in this series. In this abbreviated season, every game counts. Look for Tulsa to put the foot on the gas until the final whistle and lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 45-15 Tulsa. | |||||||
10-30-20 | Minnesota v. Maryland +20.5 | 44-45 | Win | 100 | 83 h 10 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Maryland (8* START-UP). Minnesota lost its season opener to Michigan by a score of 49-24. Maryland also lost its opener, losing 43-3 to Northwestern. I expect a much better game from both teams, but I also look for this one to end much tighter than what this spread would suggest. Both teams struggled with consistency on both sides of the ball. Minnesota QB Tanner Morgan had 197 passing yards, one touchdown and one interception. Maryland's offense struggled as well, as Taulia Tagovailoa and Lance LeGendre combined to pass for just 143 yards. Minnesota is the better team here, but I expect it to have a fight on its hands until the final moments. Grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 35-25 Minnesota. | |||||||
10-24-20 | UNLV +13.5 v. San Diego State | Top | 6-34 | Loss | -105 | 104 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UNLV (10* TRADE-MARK). SDSU lost its starting QB and RB from last year. The offense had a lot of turnover. SDSU's defense was its strength last year, but it also has a few new faces. The Aztecs are expected to do well again, but I think that UNLV will come out firing here and I like it to keep this one a lot more competitive than what this spread would suggest. Yes, the Rebels were just 4-8 last season, but they return starting QB Kenyon Oblad and several other starters on offense, which is a huge benefit. SDSU has question marks on offense and I don't think it should be laying this large number on Opening night. Grab up all these points! T.M. Prediction: 26-24 SDSU. | |||||||
10-24-20 | Cincinnati v. SMU -2.5 | 42-13 | Loss | -109 | 103 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: SMU (8* SUPER-SPIKE CLUB). Cincinnati is 3-0 and SMU is 5-0. Bearcats' QB Desmond Ridder though enters off his worst start of the season, throwing three INT's in a fortunate win over USF last time out. Shane Buechele has a QBR of 81.4 and he already has 1,710 yards passing in five games, including 12 TD's and only two INT's. SMU is 4-1 ATS in its last five at home, while Cincinnati is only 1-5 ATS in its last six after allowing less than 20 points in its previous outing. The Mustangs are averaging 42.6 PPG this year and I can't see the Bearcats keeping pace down the stretch. Lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 37-20 SMU. | |||||||
10-24-20 | Nebraska v. Ohio State -26 | 17-52 | Win | 100 | 94 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ohio State (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). The Cornhuskers were 5-7 last year. Ohio State is 5-1 the last six in this series and I look for it to lay another beating in its first game of the year as it looks to send an early message. Nebraska QB Adrian Martinez regressed big time last year, finishing with ten touchdowns and only nine interceptions. Overall Nebraska averaged 28 PPG last season and it conceded 27.8. The Buckeyes averaged 46.7 PPG last sseason, as QB Justin Fields had 3,273 passing yards, 41 touchdowns and only three interceptions. Defensively the Buckeyes allowed only 12.5 PPG. Ohio State is 9-3 ATS in its last 12 as a favorite, while Nebraska is only 2-7 ATS in its last nine conference games. I can't see the Cornhuskers mounting much of an offensive attack today. Lay the points, expect a BIG blowout! T.M. Prediction: 50-17 Ohio State. | |||||||
10-23-20 | Tulsa v. South Florida +10.5 | Top | 42-13 | Loss | -106 | 78 h 55 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: South Florida (10* CA$H-BOMB). I think we're going to see a much tighter matchup than what this spread would suggest. Tulsa had its game vs. the Bearcats postponed last weekend due to covid 19 issues and previous to that it had its bye week. After two weeks off, I think the Golden Hurricane come out a bit flat-footed to start this contest, and that in turn will help in keeping this back door open just wide enough for USF to sneak through. The Bulls won't be lacking for motivation here either after a 39-37 loss to Temple last Saturday, their fourth straight loss. Note that USF is 7-2 ATS in its last nine after scoring 35 or more points in a loss in its previous outing. A great situational play on the home side, grab as many points as you can! T.M. Prediction: 26-24 Tulsa. | |||||||
10-17-20 | North Texas v. Middle Tennessee State -6.5 | 52-35 | Loss | -110 | 123 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: MTSU (8* MONEY-TRAIN). The Mean Green defense has allowed a combined 155 points over its three losses and I think it'll once again have trouble containing their opponent today. Last week North Texas allowed seven TD's to Charlotte. Austin Aune was a bright spot for the Mean Green with 385 passing yards and three TD's, but it was unable to keep up down the stretch. MTSU enters off a hard-fought 31-28 win over FIU, its first victory of the year and I expect it to keep the foot on the gas again here. North Texas has struggled inside the red zone, scoring on just 10 of 17 possessions with nine TD's. MTSU's strength on the dfensive side is against the pass, allowing just 166 passing yards per game, so that matches up well against the pass-happy Mean Green. The Blue Raiders are also 9-2 ATS in their last 11 vs. teams with losing records. I'm laying the points and expecting a complete blowout! T.M. Prediction: 43-30 MTSU. | |||||||
10-17-20 | Auburn -3 v. South Carolina | 22-30 | Loss | -105 | 118 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Auburn (9* MONEY-MAKER). Auburn held on for a 30-28 win over Arkansas last weekend. It wasn't the Tigers best effort, but they still managed to hold on for the SU victory. With that "close call" out of the way though, I think that the Tigers will bounce back nicely here. The Tigers allow just 22.7 PPG, but so far they've averaged just 21.7. This Auburn team is looking for a big offensive break out and I like Bo Nix to take center stage here. Auburn outgained Arkansas 446 to 437 last weekend and I expect this offense to have a big day vs. South Carolina. South Carolina smashed Vanderbilt last weekend, but lost to both Tennessee and Florida. Collin Hill was decent against Vandy's weak defense, but I think he's in for a shock today vs. this elite Auburn unit. Note as well that SC is just 1-4 ATS in its last five vs. schools with winning records, while Auburn is 5-2 ATS in its last seven following an ATS loss. I'm laying the points and expecting a decisive victory! T.M. Prediction: 33-20 Auburn. | |||||||
10-16-20 | SMU -6.5 v. Tulane | Top | 37-34 | Loss | -110 | 100 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: SMU (10* TRADE-MARK). Tulane is horribly inconsitent on the offensive side of the ball. At least against stiffer competition. Shane Buechele and SMU average 44 points per game and they only allow 23.3. The Green Wave have averaged 37 PPG while allowing 31. But Tulanes' freshman QB Michael Pratt made his first ever start just last weekend and now facing this elite SMU defense, I definitely expect a major step back here. The Mustangs are having to deal with major injury issues to a couple of key players, but they have a deep and talented roster and I don't see much of a drop off. Lay the points, this one has "b-l-o-w-o-u-t" written ALL over it! T.M. Prediction: 40-24 Mustangs. | |||||||
10-15-20 | Georgia State +4 v. Arkansas State | Top | 52-59 | Loss | -110 | 78 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Georgia State (10* ULTIMATE). Outright win? It's VERY possible, as note that Georgia State upset Arkansas State 52-38 as a 6.5-points underdog last year. Georgia State lost 34-31 to the Ragin Cajuns in Week 1, but on October 3rd they smashed East Carolina 49-29 as an underdog, outgaining the Pirates 485 to 286 in the process. So far the Panthers average 40 PPG and they allow 31.5. Arkansas State destroyed FCS opponent Central Arkansas 50-27 in its last game, but previous to that it dropped its lone conference game. Arkansas State is 0-3 in its last three vs. FBS opponents and its offensive attack revolves around the pass, and that doesn't matchup well vs. this Georiga State secondary which already has give interceptions in two games. I'm grabbing the points and expecting a battle until the end! T.M. Prediction: 38-35 Georgia State. | |||||||
10-10-20 | Miami-FL +14.5 v. Clemson | Top | 17-42 | Loss | -110 | 82 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Miami Florida (10* TRADE-MARK). This is a big game obviously. Both teams are 3-0. Miami Florida will have its hands full here, but I expect it to comfortably sneak in through the back door down the stretch with the sizeable spread that it's been afforded in this one. The Hurricanes did not get caught looking ahead here in last week's 52-10 destruction of FSU. D'Eriq King had 267 yards and two TD's, before exiting the game early. RB Cam'Ron Harris was barely even used, so he'll be fresh today and I think that's a key factor. Miami averages 43.3 PPG and it concedes 19 PPG. Clemson is averaging 42.3 PPG and it's allowing 12. I think the Tigers are going to win this game, but I love King to keep his team in it late. Expect a much closer battle than what this spread is indicating! T.M. Prediction: 34-30 Clemson. | |||||||
10-10-20 | Marshall v. Western Kentucky +7 | 38-14 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 17 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Western Kentucky (8*). Marshall enters off a 17-7 victory over Appalachian State, while the Hilltoppers enter off a 20-17 road win over MTSU. Marshall is 2-0 and WKU is now 1-2. These teams met last year and Marshall won 26-23, making this a revenge game for the Hilltoppers. Marshall's early defensive numbers are skewed due to strength of schedule. Both teams return several starters on both sides of the ball from last year's teams. WKU though is 5-1-1 ATS in its last seven vs. teams with winning records and 10-4 ATS in its last 14 as a home dog, while Marshall is a poor 6-16 ATS in its last 22 when playing the role of favorite. I think WKU has everything in place to take this game outright, but let's grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 23-21 Marshall. | |||||||
10-10-20 | Pittsburgh v. Boston College +6 | 30-31 | Win | 100 | 79 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston College (8*) Both teams are coming off tough losses in the final minutes of their previous games. The Panthers fell 30-29 to NCA State, while Boston College lost 26-22 to UNC. Pittsburgh is getting great play from QB Kenny Picket, who is currently third in the country with a 64.8 QB rating. Boston College's Phil Jurovech though is coming off the best game of his career, despite losing, throwing for 313 yards, two TD's and zero INT's. Pittsburgh's defense is stout, but BC relies more on the pass. These teams matchup evenly across the board and while I do think the outright upset is possible here, in the end I'll recommend to grab as many points as you can! T.M. Prediction: 23-21 Pittsburgh. | |||||||
10-09-20 | Louisville -4 v. Georgia Tech | Top | 27-46 | Loss | -110 | 75 h 48 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Louisville (10* MONEY-MAKER). Both teams enter at 1-2. The Cardinals returned 17 starters from last year's team which went 8-5, so they'll be desperate here to avoid an 0-3 start in ACC action. QB Malik Cunningham was awesome last year with 22 touchdowns and only five interceptions, but so far in the early going he's coughed up five picks over his first three games. Cunningham though faced a tough Pitt defense last week, but catches a break here facing GT. The Cards are averaging 29.7 PPG, but they're allowing 30.1. Fortunately Louisville's defense catches a break here facing a Yellow Jackets defense which is allowing 33 PPG. GT is only averaging 19 PPG itself. GT is also just 3-8 ATS in its last 11 following an ATS loss and only 3-13 ATS in its last 16 at home, while Louisville is 5-1 ATS in its last six as a favorite. I'm laying the points and expecting a blowout from start to finish! T.M. Prediction: 37-27 Louisville. | |||||||
10-03-20 | Texas A&M v. Alabama -16 | Top | 24-52 | Win | 100 | 103 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Alabama (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). This is the SEC's first big game...which sees the No. 13 ranked Texas A&M Aggies travel to take on the No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide. Both enter at 1-0. The Aggies squeaked by Vanderbilt 17-12 last Saturday as a 31.5 point favorite though, while the Crimson Tide rolled over Missouri 38-19. Alabama definitely took the foot off the gas late in the one though...as it had a 35-3 lead with about five minutes left in the third-quarter...before then easing up and looking ahead to this contest at home vs. A&M. And so I think the Tide come in fresh and prepared and ready to lay a beatdown on the Aggies here...who are clearly struggling on the offensive side of the ball. The Aggies had just 17 first downs last week and they were held to only 4 of 10 in third-down conversions. Kellen Mond had 189 yards a TD...and Isaiah Spiller was decent with 117 rushing yards...the defense though was pretty mediocre as well with just two sacks...and that's not going to get the job done here vs. Tide in my opinion...Mac Jones had 249 yards and two TD's last week..while NaJee Harris had 98 rushing yards and three touchdowns...the Tide also recorded three sacks and had two fumble recoveries in the win..the Aggies have struggled in this position for a while now...they're just 1-4 ATS in their last five vs. teams with winning records...I think Alabama goes up big early..but unlike last week it does't take the foot off the gas...I expect it to lay the hammer down and I'm going to suggest to lay the points in this one. T.M. Prediction: 37-15 Alabama. | |||||||
10-03-20 | Memphis -2.5 v. SMU | 27-30 | Loss | -110 | 103 h 9 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Memphis (8* MONEY-MAKER). SMU is 3-0 and it's scored at least 50 points in eeach contest, but I think the Mustangs will have their hands full here with this No. 25 ranked Memphis Tigers team. Memphis beat Arkansas State 37-24 in its lonly this year and it beat SMU 54-48 here in this game last season. In fact note that Memphis has covered in the last six in this series. Memphis has had two games postponed already this year due to covid, so clearly the Tigers are going to be amped up here for their league opener. Mustangs' QB Shane Buechel has been good for SMU so far, but note that the Mustangs are just 1-4 ATS in their last five after scoring more than 40 points in their previous game. Memphis on the other hand is 11-3 ATS in its last 14 after posting more than 450 yards in its previous game. Let's face it, the Mustangs have faced a weak schedule to this point and I expect the step-up in competition to be too much for them to handle down the stretch; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 45-30 Memphis. | |||||||
10-03-20 | South Florida +21.5 v. Cincinnati | 7-28 | Win | 100 | 103 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: South Florida (8* TD CLUB). USF beat Citadel 27-6 in its opener, but then it got hammered 52-0 by Notre Dame. The Bulls had last week's game postponed due to covid issues. The Bearcats beat Army 24-10 last weekend and while Desmon Ridder has been decent in the early going, I think he comes out complacent here and gets caught looking past his lowly opponent to his bye week next weekend. Note as well that USF is 5-0 ATS in its last five in this series. No outright, but grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 30-15 Cincinnati. | |||||||
10-03-20 | East Carolina v. Georgia State -1.5 | 29-49 | Win | 100 | 100 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Georgia State (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). Georgia State lost its only game of the year, a 34-31 OT setback to Louisiana as a 17.5 point underdog. East Carolina lost its season opener on Saturday by a score of 51-28, but managed to cover with the 26 points they were afforded. ECU is led by HOlton Ahlers and while the team returns several starters from last year's team which went 4-8 on both sides of the ball, note that the Pirates conceded 632 yards to UCF in its loss last weekend. Georgia State returns 17 starters from last years team. QB Cornelious Brown was a bright spot with 200 yards, a TD and INT. He also had 64 rushing yards and another TD on the ground. I'm banking on the home side pulling away down the stretch; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 40-30 Georgia State. | |||||||
09-26-20 | Georgia v. Arkansas +26.5 | 37-10 | Loss | -110 | 103 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arkansas. This is the first game of the year for both teams. Georgia was 12-2 last year, while Arkansas was 2-10. Georgia lost to LSU in the SEC Championship. Georgia is loaded with talent, ranked as the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation, but it's going to be difficult to immediately replace Jake Fromm and D'Andre Swift. JT Daniels tore his ACL last year, interestingly against this very Arkansas team. Daniels has plenty of hype surrounding him, but I believe that chemsitry will be an issue early. The Razorbacks' offense revolves around its running games, keep your eyes on Rakeem Boyd, who had 1,333 yards and eight TD's last year. No way Arkansas wins outright, but I think the stage is set for a closer battle than what Las Vegas is trying to lead us to believe; grab all those points! T.M. Prediction: 30-21 Georgia. | |||||||
09-26-20 | Iowa State v. TCU +2.5 | 37-34 | Loss | -110 | 100 h 12 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: TCU. Iowa State was streamrolled by the Ragin' Cajuns in their lone game of the year by a score of 31-14. Overall Iowa State had 303 yards of offense, which included only 145 yards passing from QB Brock Purdy. Iowa State's defense was terrible and I think it'll have difficulties slowing down the Horned Frogs' Matthew Downing, a transfer from Georgia. I think the extra time off to prepare helps TCU here and while I wouldn't be completely surprised by the outright, in the end let's grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 22-21 TCU. | |||||||
09-26-20 | Kansas State v. Oklahoma -28.5 | 38-35 | Loss | -108 | 99 h 47 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oklahoma. K-State gave up 21 unanswered points in its eventual 35-31 setback to Arkansas State two weks ago. Skylar Thompson had 259 yards and two TD's in the setback. But if the Wildcats had a difficult time slowing down the Red Wolves, I have no idea how they plan to slow down the Sooners, who destroyed Missouri State 48-0 two weeks ago. The Sooners also looked dominant on the defensive end, allowing just 81 yards rushing and 81 yards passing. This is a revenge game as well after an upset from last year, so I'm laying the points and expecting Oklahoma to come out and put the foot on the gas from start to finish. Lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 46-14 Sooners. | |||||||
09-24-20 | UAB -7.5 v. South Alabama | Top | 42-10 | Win | 100 | 58 h 29 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UAB (10* CRUSHER). UAB is down its starting QB in Tyler Johnson III, but I think that Bryson Lucero will step up here and get the job done. UAB comes in off a 30-15 loss to Miami two weeks ago. The Jags lost a 27-24 contest to Tulane two weeks ago as well. South Alabama also starts a new QB under center today, as Desmond Trotter is now out with injury, meaning that Chance Lovertich gets the call. This evens the playing field between these two offenses. I like UAB's defense and special teams better though and I expect that to be the difference maker. I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: 37-23 UAB | |||||||
09-12-20 | UTEP +44 v. Texas | 3-59 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 51 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UTEP (8* TOUCHDOWN CLUB). Do I think that the Miners, who went 1-11 last year, can win this game outright? Obviously not. But that said, I do think that the stage is set for UTEP to improve dramatically this year and I expect it to comfortably sneak in through the back door down the stretch with the large spread they've been afforded here. The Longhorns were 8-5 last year and they looked good down the stretch, but I think the home side will get caught "looking past" its lowly opponent today. UTEP already has a win under its belt as well, with RB Deion Hankins rushing for 113 yards and two TD's vs. the Lumberjacks. I think Sam Ehlinger and this Longhorns offense goes up early and then takes the foot off the gas. Clearly I'm not calling for an outright victory, but everything points to this one being much closer than what Las Vegas is trying to lead us to believe; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 40-17 Texas. | |||||||
09-12-20 | Clemson -33.5 v. Wake Forest | Top | 37-13 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Clemson (10* MONEY-MAKER). This game was actually originally scheduled for late November, but now Wake Forest is forced to face the Tigers in Week 1. The Demon Deacons are rebuilding this year and they have just three starters back on offense from last year's team. Overall the Tigers are predicted to have the tenth ranked secondary this season. QB Trevor Lawrence was one of the loudest pundits out there about wanting to play this year, so expect the dynamic pivot to put on a show here (note that in two career games vs. the Demon Deacons, Lawrence has 447 yards, six TD's and no INT's vs. them). Lay the points, expect an absolute beatdown! T.M. Prediction: 47-10 Tigers. | |||||||
09-12-20 | Charlotte v. Appalachian State -17 | 20-35 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 51 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Appalachian State (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). Charlotte was 7-6 last year, while App State was 13-1. App State won both meetings last year, including a 56-41 victory at home. I'm not expecting nearly as much scoring this time around, but I do definitely expect a lop-sided destruction once it's all said and done. 13 of 22 starters return for Charlotte, including QB Chris Reynolds (who is admittedly a bright spot), but he's lacking talent around him and his defense has more questions than answers. App State returns nine of its 11 offensive starters from last year's team, including QB Zac Thomas. Charlotte is just 1-4 ATS in its last five on the road and I think it'll stumble as this game comes down the stretch; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 45-15 App State. | |||||||
09-05-20 | SMU v. Texas State +23.5 | Top | 31-24 | Win | 100 | 7 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Texas State (10* GAME OF WEEK). Do I think that Texas State will upset BYU here? I do not. However, I think that the Bobcats have made significant strides from last year's team which went 3-9. BYU was 10-3 last year and it won this game 47-17, but I think it comes in a bit complacent and gets caught "looking past" its lowly non-conference opponent. The Mustangs lost their top WR from last year and their top two RB's. QB Shane Buechele is back under center for BYU and he's going to have a big game here, but there are some definite question marks on this offense that need to be worked out. And I think that's going to take a bit of time. Brady McBride is the new QB for Texas State and he'll benefit in having the team's top two WR's returning. Note as well that SMU is just 2-6 ATS in its last eight non-conference home games as a favorite of 21 points or more. I'm grabbing the points! T.M. Prediction: 40-30 SMU. | |||||||
01-13-20 | Clemson v. LSU -5 | 25-42 | Win | 100 | 10 h 53 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LSU (1st Half) Two very talented teams will meet head-to-head in the National Championship Game on Monday Night. Both sides have looked outstanding all season long, but I believe that the LSU Tigers are just a little bit better. In the Semifinals, QB Joe Burrow threw for a ridiculous amount of touchdowns (7.) That's insane for an entire game! But he did it in just a single half. On the other hand, Clemson played in a very tough game that came down to the wire against OSU. Clemson is just 3-5 ATS after 5 or more consecutive wins against the spread since 1992. Expect LSU to win here. T.M. Prediction: 27-17 (1st Half) | |||||||
01-06-20 | Miami-OH v. UL-Lafayette -14 | Top | 17-27 | Loss | -101 | 21 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UL Lafayette The Lousiana Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns have absolutely dominated teams this year. Entering this game, they come in with the eighth best offense in the nation with 501.3 yards per game. That's incredible! Louisiana-Lafayette is also a crushing 10-2 SU in their last 12 games this season. On the other hand, Miami (OH) is 0-2 this season as an underdog of 10.5 to 21 points (0-4 L3 years.) They are also only 2-10 in non-conference games the past three years. Expect a beatdown on Monday Night. T.M. Prediction: 44-13 ULL | |||||||
01-04-20 | Tulane v. Southern Miss +7.5 | Top | 30-13 | Loss | -120 | 10 h 20 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Southern Miss Tulane hasn't had a very good season. Although they made it to a bowl, I feel that they got lucky to even be here. The Green Waves are only 1-4 SU in their last 5 games this season. They are also a terrible 0-6 SU in their last 6 games against Southern Miss (1-4 ATS L5.) On the other hand, Southern Miss is 2-0 this season when playing with 2 weeks or more of rest. The Golden Eagles are also a dominant 17-10 L27 after scoring 17 points or less in 2 straight games. Expect Sourthern Miss to upset Tulane in the Armed Forces Bowl. T.M. Prediction: 31-28 Southern Miss | |||||||
01-03-20 | Ohio v. Nevada +8 | Top | 30-21 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nevada The Wolf Pack come into the Idaho Potato Bowl with a 7-5 record. They may have lost their last game, but prior to that, they had won three in a row. Nevada is now 12-6 SU in their last 18 games dating back to last season. Even better, they are an 80% 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games played on a Friday. For Ohio, they come inot this game with a 6-6 record. They have a sad 3-6 ATS record in their last 9 games this season (4-8 ATS L12 games.) The Bobcats have had an up-and-down season and you never know what they are going to do. Also, they are only 0-3 as a favorite of in between 3.5-10 points this year. Expect the Wolfpack to not only keep it close, but to come away with the upset victory in the 2020 Idaho Potato Bowl. Take Nevada. T.M. Prediction: 31-30 Nevada | |||||||
01-02-20 | Boston College v. Cincinnati -7.5 | Top | 6-38 | Win | 100 | 15 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cinci The Bearcats have been winning all season long, and that is why they are here today as the #21 ranked team in the nation. They may be off back-to-back losses, but they still come in with a dominant 10-3 record. Cincinnati is 9-2 SU in their last 11 games this season. They are also 5-1 after playing their last game on the road. Even better, they are a perfect 19-0 SU in their last 19 games when playing as the favourite. For, Boston College, they barely even got into a bowl. With a 6-6 record they are lucky to even be here today. The Eagles are 0-3 ATS in their last three games off an upset win over a conference rival as an underdog this season. They are also 3-5 ATS off a road win win the past three seasons. The Bearcats are by far the better side in this one. With Boston College allowing 31+ points per game, expect Cincinnati to eat this weak Eagles program alive in the Birmingham Bowl. Take the Bearcats. T.M. Prediction: 31-10 Cincinnati | |||||||
01-01-20 | Minnesota +7.5 v. Auburn | Top | 31-24 | Win | 100 | 11 h 48 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Two extremely talented schools will go head-to-head in the Outback Bowl on Wednesday. Dating back to last season, the Gophers are 12-2 SU in their last 14 games. They are also 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games. On the other hand, Auburn has been great too. Although they have a 9-3 record, they have not played too well when they are off a home win against a Conference Rival. In those game the oast three years, the Tigers are a sad 0-7 ATS (0-2 this season.) Auburn is also only 5-11 off a home win the past three years. A full touchdown for the team with the better record? Give me Minnesota any day. T.M. Prediction: 21-17 Min | |||||||
12-30-19 | Virginia +14.5 v. Florida | Top | 28-36 | Win | 100 | 22 h 56 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Virginia Florida comes into the Orange Bowl with a 10-2 record. Although they have a great record, they haven't really looked extremely strong. The Gators are only 1-5 in games played on a neutral field the past three years (0-2 this season.) They are also 2-4 off a bye week. For UVA, they enter with a 9-4 record. They've looked very good, and confedent. The Cavaliers did get hammered against Clemson, but coach Bronco Mendenhall has high-hopes for this game. He said, "This is a giant opportunity for us. This game means the world to us in terms of growth and in terms of taking the next step for our program." I expect Virginia to give all they have on Monday Night while they try and pull off the upset. 14.5 points is a lot, give me UVA any day. T.M. Prediction: 31-28 Florida | |||||||
12-30-19 | Western Michigan v. Western Kentucky -3 | 20-23 | Push | 0 | 14 h 17 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Western Kentucky Off a great 8-4 season, the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers will look to grab their fourth bowl win here. Western Kentucky is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games this season. The Hilltoppers are also a perfect 6-0 SU in their last 6 games against opponents in the Mid-American Conference. For Western Michigan, they have had no success what-so-ever when it comes to bowls. In the past, the Broncos have played in 11 bowl games in their program's history and are only 1-10 SU in those games. Western Michigan is also 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games played in December. I expect the Hilltoppers to get the job done with ease on Monday Afternoon in the First Resonders Bowl in Dallas, Texas. Take WKU. T.M. Prediction: 31-17 WKU | |||||||
12-28-19 | Oklahoma +14 v. LSU | Top | 28-63 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oklahoma In the Peach Bowl, the Oklahoma Sooners are up against the #1 team in the nation in LSU. Other than one game the entire season, the Sooners have absolutely dominated their opponents. They are led by star QB Jalen Hurts who has led them to a near-perfect season. Oklahoma comes into this game with a sweet 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against opponents in the Southeast Conference (SEC.) For LSU, they might be the best team in the country, but they have yet to face a team like Oklahoma. OU can put up points with ease and I expect LSU to have a bit of difficulty keeping up with them. The line is big, and I like the Sooners to keep it close in this one. Take Oklahoma. T.M. Prediction: 43J-41 LSU | |||||||
12-26-19 | Pittsburgh v. Eastern Michigan +13 | Top | 34-30 | Win | 100 | 8 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: EMU Both of these two teams narrowly got into this bowl. Pitt finished with 7 wins, while EMU ended up with 6. Pittsburgh comes into this game with a sad 1-4 SU in their last 5 games played in December. They also come in off 2 straight losses. On the other hand, Eastern Michigan is 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games when playing as the underdog. They are also a dominant 5-1 the past three years off a home loss. I expect EMU to not only cover, but to keep it close the entire game, potentially even winning this game outright. Take the Eagles. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Pitt | |||||||
12-23-19 | Marshall +16.5 v. Central Florida | Top | 25-48 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 23 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Marshall Last year, in the Gasparilla Bowl, I had Marshall -2.5 vs. South Florida. Of course they won. This year, I feel that this line is way too big. UCF is only 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games coming into this one. The Knights are also a sad 1-4 when playing on a neutral field as a favorite. Even worse, they are only 32-46 when playing against a team with a winning record since 1992.Marshall, on the other hand, has been dominant all season long. The Herd are a sweet 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games when playing as an underdog. Marshall is also 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games against opponents in the American Athletic Conference (AAC.) They are also 6-1 in their last 7 games in December. I expect the Thundering Herd to not only cover, but to keep this one extremly close on Monday Night. I wouldn't be surprised if Marshall even won this game outright. Don't hate on the Herd. T.M. Prediction: 34-31 UCF | |||||||
12-21-19 | North Carolina A&T State -2.5 v. Alcorn State | Top | 64-44 | Win | 100 | 12 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: North Carolina A&T This bowl, first played in 2015, is played between the winner of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference and the Souh-Western Athletic Conference. Last year, North Carolina A&T beat Alcorn St 24-22 in this bowl. When in this bowl, the Aggies have never lost (3-0.) This year I expect another beatdown for NCAT. Take North Carolina A&T. T.M. Prediction: 31-20 NCAT | |||||||
12-20-19 | Kent State v. Utah State -6.5 | Top | 51-41 | Loss | -105 | 20 h 0 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Utah St Utah State comes into this one 14-6 SU in their last 20 games. Kent State is only 7-13 SU in their last 20 games. The Golden Flashes have never won a single bowl game in school history and I expect that to stay the same here. With the Utah St Qb having all of the experience in the world, I like the Aggies to destroy these guys on Friday in the Frisco Bowl. Take Utah St T.M. Prediction: 34-10 Utah St | |||||||
12-07-19 | Wisconsin +16.5 v. Ohio State | Top | 21-34 | Win | 100 | 20 h 52 m | Show |
T.M Selection: Wisconsin I know that the Buckeyes haven't lost to this Badgers team since 2010. I know Ohio St is the better team. But expect a close, high-scoring, and physical game to be played on Saturday Night. Wisconsin comes in with an 11-2 SU record in their last 13 games played. They are also 7-3 in their last 10 games played in the month of December. On the other hand, there isn't much bad to say about the perfect 12-0 Buckeyes. But that doesn't mean anything until the ballgame is over. Although they are poerfect, Ohio St are just 9-10 ATS after playing 3 straight conference games. Expect a highly contested game to be played and for the Badgers to stay in it the entire way, if not win the game. Take Wisconsin. T.M. Prediction: 41-37 Wisconsin | |||||||
12-07-19 | UL-Lafayette v. Appalachian State -6.5 | 38-45 | Win | 100 | 12 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Appalachian St Appalachian St will play the UL Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns in the Sun Belt Championship game on Saturday Morning. In the past, ULL has never beaten this Appalachian St team. Appalachian State is 17-1 SU in their last 18 games. They are also 10-0 SU in their last 10 games at home. Expect the Appalachian State Mountaineers to hammer UL Lafayette in the Sun Belt Championship game. Take the Mountaineers T.M. Prediction: 34-10 Appalachian St | |||||||
12-06-19 | Oregon +6.5 v. Utah | Top | 37-15 | Win | 100 | 19 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oregon Ducks It's the Pac-12 Championship Game between the Oregon Ducks and the Utah Utes. Oregon comes into this game with a dominant 10-1 SU record in their last 11 games vs. Pac-12 opponents. Now they'll be going up against a Utah team who isn't the best at throwing the ball. With Justin Herbert (Oregon QB) sitting on the edge of being a great selection in the 2020 NFL draft, I expect him to rise to the occasion at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Take the Ducks. T.M. Prediction: 41-28 Ducks | |||||||
11-30-19 | Miami-FL -8.5 v. Duke | Top | 17-27 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Miami Fl Duke is officially out of bowl contention, while the Miami Fl Hurricanes can improve their chances at a better bowl game with a win here. In their last 10 games against each other, Miami Fl has won 8 of them, averaging over 200 rushing yards in all of them. Coming into this game, they are 4-1 ATS in their L5 games against an opponent in the Atlantic Coast Conference. I expect them to dominate this weak Blue Devils team here. Take Miami Florida and expect an easy winner. T.M. Prediction: 34-17 Miami Fl | |||||||
11-29-19 | Missouri -12.5 v. Arkansas | Top | 24-14 | Loss | -109 | 15 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Missouri Missouri will play the Arkansas Razorbacks on Black Friday With a win, the Tigers can secure their spot in a bowl game. Missouri comes in with a 5-1 SU record in their L6 games played on a Friday. On the other hand, Arkansas is 0-8 SU in each of their L8 games. The Razorbacks are also a sad 3-7 SU in their L10 games at home. I expect Missouri to get it done under pressure. Take the Tigers. T.M. Prediction: 44-10 Missouri | |||||||
11-23-19 | Boise State -8.5 v. Utah State | 56-21 | Win | 100 | 26 h 24 m | Show | |
TM. Selection: Boise St The 9-1 Broncos will take on the 6-4 Aggies on Saturday Night. In their L10 matches against each other, Boise St has won 90% of the time. Adding to that, they are also 15-1 SU in their last 16 games against the Aggies. I like the ranked team to destroy this Utah State team. Take Boise St. T.M. Prediction: 34-14 BSU | |||||||
11-23-19 | Memphis v. South Florida +15 | 49-10 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: USF So far this season, Memphis has been the better team. Although many people may think that's what matters, they are wrong. This is a must-win situation for the Bulls. They have two games left, and they have to win both of them to get a spot in a bowl game. In their last meeting, USF beat the Tigers in a shootout. I expect the home team to keep it close here. Take USF. T.M. Prediction: 28-24 Memphis | |||||||
11-23-19 | SMU v. Navy -3 | 28-35 | Win | 100 | 19 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Navy Navy looks to continue its home dominance here against the SMU Mustangs on Saturday afternoon in a critical game for both team as they go for the conference title. SMU is ranked, but the Midshipmen are the favorite here in this one. In their L4 meetings at Jack Stephens Field at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, Navy has beaten every time dominating every one of those games by more than 20 points each time. I expect the Navy Midshipmen to rebound after their loss to ND last week. Roll Navy Roll! T.M. Prediction: 31-17 Navy | |||||||
11-23-19 | Penn State +19 v. Ohio State | Top | 17-28 | Win | 100 | 16 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Penn St Penn St has proven to everyone that they belong in the 4 best team conversation. They have beaten teams like Iowa and Michigan as they come in with a dominant 9-1 record. They may be playing the best team in the nation right now, but they are getting a lot of points. When I say a lot, I mean A LOT. Two top 10 teams with an 18 point difference. C'mon. I think Penn St might even win this game. The Nittany Lions also come into this game 8-1 SU in their L9 games on the road. Take PSU and expect a close game. T.M. Prediction: 45-42 Ohio St | |||||||
11-09-19 | Notre Dame -7.5 v. Duke | Top | 38-7 | Win | 100 | 22 h 43 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Notre Dame Coming into this game, Notre Dame is 17-3 SU in their last 20 games. They have proven to be one of the very best teams, each and every year. In week 11, they'll face a struggling Duke team who have lost their last two games. After playing a conference game, the Blue Devils are 6-11 ATS the L3 years. I expect the Fighting Irish to dominate here, as they send the Duke fans home crying. Take ND. T.M. Prediction: 38-17 Fighting Irish | |||||||
11-09-19 | Florida International +10.5 v. Florida Atlantic | 7-37 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 12 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Florida International Both teams have a winning record coming into this game. Although Florida Atlantic has a decent record, they are only 1-3 ATS in home games YTD. Now they'll play a hungry FIU team who are off a big win against Old Dominion last Saturday. I expect FIU to not only keep it close, but to win outright in this Florida rivalry game. Take Florida International. T.M. Prediction: 31-27 FIU | |||||||
11-03-19 | Fresno State v. Hawaii -2.5 | 41-38 | Loss | -105 | 23 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Hawaii Hawaii has proven that they can be a strong team so far this season. In the opening week, they upset Arizona in a classic. On the other hand, Fresno State has not been too good. They enter this game with a 3-4 record. I expect the Rainbow Warriors to dominate this game in extraordinary fashion. Take Hawaii in front of their home fans. T.M. Prediction: 44-28 Hawaii | |||||||
11-02-19 | Utah v. Washington +3.5 | Top | 33-28 | Loss | -120 | 21 h 23 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Washington The Huskies are off a huge loss against Oregon last week. This week they'll look to rebound against Utah on Saturday afternoon. Coming into this game, Washington is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games. On the other hand, Utah hasn't faired well ATS in the past. As a road favorite, the Utes are 38-46 since 1992. This week, I expect the Huskies to rebound bigtime with a huge victory against Utah. Look for QB Jacob Eason to go off on Saturday. Take Washington. T.M. Prediction: 27-10 Huskies | |||||||
11-02-19 | Boston College v. Syracuse -3 | 58-27 | Loss | -104 | 11 h 17 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Syracuse Coming into this game, the Orange and the Eagles have both had rough patches YTD. Boston College hasn't yet found a way to get going with their passing game as they've been held to just a 54.2 passing completion percentage. I expect the Orange to come out strong and perform well with their home crowd behind them on Saturday Morning. Take the Orange. T.M. Prediction: 31-21 Syracuse | |||||||
11-01-19 | Navy v. Connecticut +27.5 | Top | 56-10 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection UCONN Connecticut is off a huge beatdown against UMASS last week. They played well and looked confident. On the other hand, Navy has been good but have played some pretty bad teams. In the past, Navy is 9-12 off 4 consecutive victories SU. I expect the Huskies to keep it close on Friday Night. Take Connecticut. T.M. Prediction: 31-24 Navy | |||||||
10-26-19 | Central Florida -10.5 v. Temple | 63-21 | Win | 100 | 21 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UCF Central Florida come into this one 19-1 SU in their L20 games against an opponent in the AAC. Although UCF haven't been as good as the Knights in the past have been, they still have a dominant squad. I expect the University of Central Florida to destroy this okay Owls team who are off a double-digit loss to SMU. Take UCF on Saturday Night. T.M. Prediction: 38-17 UCF | |||||||
10-26-19 | Wisconsin v. Ohio State -14.5 | Top | 7-38 | Win | 100 | 14 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ohio State This is one of the biggest games of the entire year for both of these top 15 teams. OSU are playing like the best team in the nation right now. Last week, QB Justin Fields threw for another 5 TD's. He now has 30 touchdowns on the season. The Badgers enter this game having lost their last matchup in what may be considered as one of the biggest upsets of the year. It all started to fall apart at halftime for them as they allowed Illinois to get closer and closer. Many may think that they'll for sure bounce back here, but I expect that loss to be still in their heads as they play the always deadly Ohio State team. Look for the Buckeyes to stomp all over the Badgers on Saturday morning. Take OSU. T.M. Prediction: 38-24 OSU | |||||||
10-19-19 | Colorado v. Washington State -12 | Top | 10-41 | Win | 100 | 21 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: WSU Washington State come into this game with a mind-blowing 15-2 SU record at home in their last 17 games. They are also a dominant 10-6 as a home favorite ranging from 10.5 to 14. On the other hand, the Buffaloes have been pretty bad so far YTD. Dating back to 3 years ago, Colorado is an awful 2-13 after facing B2B opponents from their conference. I expect the Cougars to destroy them here. Take Washington St T.M. Prediction: 45-17 Washington St | |||||||
10-12-19 | Hawaii +13 v. Boise State | 37-59 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Hawaii Rainbow Warriors So far YTD, the Rainbow Warriors are off to a dominant 4-1 start with outright upsets over both the Arizona Wildcats and Nevada Wolf Pack. Hawaii is also 4-1 off a blowout upset win by 21+ points as an underdog. On the other hand, the Broncos are just 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games in the month of October. Even worse, they are a terrible 2-12 ATS in their last 14 games when coming into a game off three straight ATS victories. Expect the Warriors to show up again on Saturday Night. Take Hawaii. T.M. Prediction: 31-30 Boise St | |||||||
10-12-19 | Penn State -3 v. Iowa | 17-12 | Win | 100 | 8 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Penn State The Nittany Lions come into this game looking nearly unstoppable. Two weeks ago, they absolutely crushed Maryland in a 59-0 game. Last week, they beat Purdue 35-7 at home. Penn State is now 11-2 SU in its last 13 games in October and 7-3 ATS in its L10 played in October. Iowa is off a loss to Michigan. Expect the Nittany Lions to come out with the fire again as they look to dominate once again. Take Penn State. T.M. Prediction: 39-21 Penn State | |||||||
10-12-19 | Kent State -14 v. Akron | Top | 26-3 | Win | 100 | 16 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Kent St Coming into this matchup, Akron is winless, while the Golden Flashes are 2-3. In the past, the Zips are 15-24 after allowing 31+ points in 2 straight games. Kent St is now 12-8 as a road favorite. I expect the Golden Flashes to come out strong again as they look to keep the Zips without a win. T.M. Prediction: 38-17 Kent St | |||||||
10-10-19 | UL-Monroe v. Texas State +3 | Top | 24-14 | Loss | -104 | 10 h 56 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Texas State Both teams enter Thursday's matchup with a 2-3 record on the year. The Warhawks have looked out of sink defensively this season, as they've allowed an average of 506.8 total yards. Louisiana-Monroe is also 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games. On the other hand, Texas St is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games played on a Thursday. The Bobcats are also a dominant 8-4 after having won 2 out of their last 3 games. Expect Texas St to come out strong again here. Take the Bobcats. T.M. Prediction: 27-17 Texas St | |||||||
10-05-19 | Michigan State +21 v. Ohio State | 10-34 | Loss | -115 | 53 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Michigan St Analysis: Expect the Spartans to give the Buckeyes a scare in this one. I look for them to jump off to a quick start, immediately letting OSU know that this won't be easy. Last year's game was 7-3 at halftime before Buckeyes pulled away in 2nd. This one's higher-scoring but close once again. T.M. Prediction: (1st Half) 17-14 Ohio St | |||||||
10-05-19 | Auburn -2.5 v. Florida | Top | 13-24 | Loss | -107 | 5 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Auburn (vs. Florida) This is going to be a battle. Two 5-0 SEC Rival teams going at it. Let's start with Florida. Although being perfect, the Gators have yet to face one of the better teams in the nation. Against a conference, the L3 years, Florida has not been too good as they are a sad 7-11. In their last 3 meetings against Auburn, they've fallen short every time, losing by 3 or more in each of those games. Auburn has been great this year, winning every single game AND covering the spread in every single game. In the past, the Tigers are a dominant 11-4 after leading their last 3 games by 10+ points at the half. I expect the Auburn Tigers to come out hungrier than ever before as they look to start the season 6-0 for the first time since 2010. Play Auburn. T.M. Prediction: 31-24 Auburn | |||||||
10-05-19 | Purdue v. Penn State -28.5 | 7-35 | Loss | -101 | 1 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Penn State Analysis: Hey Purdue fans. You ready for a whooping? I'm afraid thats what coming your way today! In addition to being 1-3 overall, Boilers are also only 1-3 against the number this season. They only played one road game and it wasn't as tough a venue as this one. TCU beat them by 21 and that was at Purdue. Lions off 59-0 win at Maryland. Think what they'll do to these guys! T.M. 47-13 (Penn State) | |||||||
10-03-19 | Temple -11.5 v. East Carolina | Top | 27-17 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 52 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Temple Owls The 3-1 Owls enter this game with great energy as they meat with the 3-2 East Carolina team. Temple has looked confident so far as they just picked apart Georgia Tech last Saturday. The Owls are a dominant 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games on the road AND they're a sweet 40-19 ATS over their L59 games. On the other hand, East Carolina comes into this one 2-3 ATS YTD. The Pirates have only averaged 21.4 ppg YTD (well over #100 in the nation.) They're also an awful 5-13 ATS in their last 18 games at home. I expect the Owls to pick apart this East Carolina team with ease. Take Temple. T.M. Prediction: 37-17 Temple | |||||||
09-28-19 | Connecticut v. Central Florida -42.5 | 21-56 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UCF (vs. UCONN) Connecticut enters this big matchup with a losing 1-2 record. Last week vs. Indiana, they combined for only 145 total yrds and they failed to score even a touchdown. Now, they'll face a hungry UCF team who is off their first loss of the regular season since the rough 2016 campaign. Central Florida is a wicked 12-3 ATS in the first half of the season the last 3 years. They are also on a sweet 12-4 ATS home game winning streak. Expect the hungrier, smarter, and better team to dominate with their own crowd behind them on Saturday evening. BIG TIME BEATDOWN incoming. T.M. Prediction: 59-3 UCF |
