12-29-23 | Missouri +6 v. Ohio State | Top | 14-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 4 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: MISSOU - ATS I like the Missouri Tigers to win this game against the Ohio State Buckeyes on Friday, December 29th. As injuries have pilled up and opt outs have been recorded, the line has came down significantly. Having seen that, I think that the value is still on the Missouri Tigers. They were one of the best teams in the best conference this season and have yet to show any signs of real weakness. OSU will be without the QB they started all season and could be without Marvin Harrison Jr (nobody knows yet.) The Tigers lost by single digits @UGA and lost a thriller against LSU. The Buckeyes are still sour about their loss against Michigan and that could carry on into this game. Brady Cook will explode on Friday evening and Missou will hand OSU their second loss of the year. T.M. Prediction: 31-23 Missouri. Line: +6.0 Line Parameter: play until ML.. | |||||||
12-02-23 | Appalachian State v. Troy -4.5 | Top | 23-49 | Win | 100 | 13 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Troy - ATS I like the Troy Trojans to win this game against the Appalachian State Mountaineers on Saturday, December 2nd. Although App State is a good football team, they are not nearly as good as the Trojans. Troy comes into this game having won nine straight games. These teams didn't play during the season, but Troy smells blood and is searching for a tenth straight victory. App State struggled and lost a few winnable games early on in the year. I don't think that they'll be able to move the ball at ease, like they have in previous weeks, against this very strong Troy defense. Hammer the team with the better record here. T.M. Prediction: 34-20 Troy. Line: -4.5 Line Parameter: play until -5.5.. | |||||||
11-07-23 | Central Michigan +3 v. Western Michigan | Top | 28-38 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Central Michigan - ATS I like the Central Michigan Chippewas to win this game against the Western Michigan Broncos on Tuesday, November 7th. Both teams are coming off a loss.. But, the Chippewas own a much better record and I believe that they are the better team. Though CMU has been very bad on the road over the past few weeks, they still own a road win against USA which means they are more than capable of stealing one. It's quite evenly matched stat wise across the board but I'll take the extra points with the side with the better record here. T.M. Prediction: 31-24 CMU. Line: +3.0 Line Parameter: play until +1.0.. | |||||||
10-19-23 | Rice +3.5 v. Tulsa | Top | 42-10 | Win | 100 | 15 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rice - ATS I like the Rice Owls to win this game against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane on Thursday, October 19th. While both teams come into this game with a 3-3 record, I believe that Rice is the better of the two. Rice QB, JT Daniels, is very experienced and knowledgeable after originally starting his college career at USC and UGA. He's very solid this season averaging three touchdowns per int. On the other hand, Tulsa is turning the ball over like it's nothing. They've turned the ball over 16 times in six games and could be in for another rough game here. Rice should win this one outright, but I'll gladly take the points. T.M. Prediction: 34-26 Rice. Line: +3.5 Line Parameter: play until +2.0.. | |||||||
10-07-23 | Oregon State -7 v. California | Top | 52-40 | Win | 100 | 22 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oregon State - ATS I like the Oregon State Beavers to win this game against the California Golden Bears on Saturday, October 7th. Cal has played in some very close game this year. That is why this line is dropping. But, other than Washington, ORST is not like any team they've faced yet. In that Washington game, the Golden Bears were exposed. Expect them to be exposed in this one too. ORST defense will be too much for them to handle. T.M. Prediction: 31-14 Oregon State. Line: -7.0 Line Parameter: play until -8.0.. | |||||||
09-30-23 | San Diego State +10.5 v. Air Force | Top | 10-49 | Loss | -110 | 66 h 53 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: San Diego State Aztecs - ATS I like the San Diego State Aztecs to win this game against the Air Force Falcons on Saturday, September 28th. Record wise, Air Force is the much better looking team. Their perfect 4-0 record is impressive. However, the Aztecs come into this matchup battle tested as they've already played Ohio, UCLA, Oregon St & Boise St coming into this game. Air Force struggled in the first half last week, as they were trailing going into the 3rd qtr against SJST. The Aztecs are much more complete than the Spartans and could very well win this game outright. They should be able to neutralize this rushing attack of the Falcons. I'm hammering the +10 and a half points in this game. T.M. Prediction: 23-19 SDST. Line: +10.5 Line Parameter: play until +8.0.. | |||||||
09-29-23 | Utah +4.5 v. Oregon State | Top | 7-21 | Loss | -105 | 21 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Utah Utes - ATS I like the Utah Utes to win this game against the Oregon State Beavers on Friday, September 29th. Both of these teams play power “run the ball” football. In their toughest games of the season so far (last week,) Utah lived up to the challenge, and Oregon St looked confused. They managed to almost comeback, but the Beavers offense was completely shut down for most of that game. Even if Cam Rising doesn't play again, the Utes have plenty of talent on this football team. Nate Johnson is capable, and this defense is top tier. Give me the Utes plus the points. T.M. Prediction: 24-16 Utah. Line: +4.5 Line Parameter: play until +3.0.. | |||||||
09-23-23 | Georgia Southern -6 v. Ball State | Top | 40-3 | Win | 100 | 20 h 3 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: GASO - ATS I like the Georgia Southern Eagles to win this game against the Ball State Cardinals on Saturday, September 23rd. Even though the Cardinals are coming off a big blowout win, they still haven't shown anything special yet. GASO coming in off a loss, but they kept it close with Wisconsin for a long time. Ball State's been tested more, but I expect the Eagles to show the country how good they really are here in this one. T.M. Prediction: 37-22 Georgia Southern. Line: -6.0 Line Parameter: play until -7.0.. | |||||||
09-16-23 | Tennessee v. Florida +7 | Top | 16-29 | Win | 100 | 123 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Florida - ATS I like the Florida Gators to win this game against the Tennessee Volunteers on September 16th. After losing in week one to the Utes, the Gators bounced back in a huge way against McNeese St last week. Now, they host Tennessee in what could turn into an absolute classic. Tennessee comes in having won both of their games. However, they struggled for a while against Austin Peay last week. They just aren't as explosive as last year and could get into some trouble against a top defense. Florida's defense looks fresh and look hungry to get back above .500 for the season. With this game being played at the Swamp in Gainesville, I'll take the extra touchdown any day of the week. T.M. Prediction: 29-24 Gators. Line: +7.0 Line Parameter: play until +6.0.. | |||||||
09-15-23 | Utah State v. Air Force -9 | Top | 21-39 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Air Force - ATS I like the Air Force Falcons to win this game against the Utah State Aggies on Friday, September 15th. Although Air Force only scored 13 points last time out, they have still looked very good to start the year. Sam Houston State is playing some excellent defense, despite being 0-2. This week, Air Force is taking on USU. The Aggies are coming off a blowout win, but have already lost this year against Iowa. Iowa is a defensive team and don't necessarily blow out many team and they were still able to beat USU by double digits. Air Force's unique offense should be too overpowering for this Utah St team that only returns 9 of it's 22 starters from last year. T.M. Prediction: 34-13 Air Force. Line: -9.0 Line Parameter: play until -9.5.. | |||||||
09-09-23 | Auburn -6.5 v. California | Top | 14-10 | Loss | -110 | 140 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Auburn - ATS I like the Auburn Tigers to win this game against the California Golden Bears on September 9th. Cal looked good in Wk1, don't get me wrong. However, I believe that this line is a gift with how good Auburn is. The Tigers dominated UMASS in their opener and look to do the exact same thing this week. Auburn brought in former MSU QB Payton Thorne to start this season and he looked excellent. As I said early, Cal looked pretty good against UNT. But, they struggled in the first half defensively and that could be an issue in this one. They also won't be able to run the ball nearly as well as Auburn is strong in the trenches. Get the best line while you can as Auburn should dominate. T.M. Prediction: 38-17 Auburn. Line: -6.5 Line Parameter: play until -9.5.. | |||||||
09-09-23 | Texas +7.5 v. Alabama | Top | 34-24 | Win | 100 | 137 h 35 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Texas - ATS I like the Texas Longhorns to win this game against the Alabama Crimson Tide on September 9th. In the past, I've been extremely high on Alabama each and every season. However, I believe that they are in for a long season this year. They've got some very tough games on their schedule and I just don't see how they will dominate the way that they have in the past with Milroe at QB. Texas, who went up against Bryce Young last year, should have won this matchup. Alabama got extremely lucky. This year, without Young, I expect them to be right back in it. This game could go either way, but I'm glad grabbing the extra touchdown and a half here. T.M. Prediction: 31-27 Texas. Line: +7.5 Line Parameter: play until +6.5.. | |||||||
09-03-23 | LSU v. Florida State +2.5 | Top | 24-45 | Win | 100 | 25 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Florida State Seminoles - ATS I like the Florida State Seminoles to win this game against the Louisiana State Tigers on Sunday, Sep 3. These teams met last year in what was possibly the game of the year. FSU had the game in the bag and almost blew what was an almost guaranteed win. Jared Verse, FSU DLineman, had an insane game last year. I expect him to go crazy once again here. This year, both teams are improved, and both are National Title Contenders. Both teams will need to win some big games, but I think that the Noles will just be one step ahead here in the opener. They've got 17 returning starters compared to 15 and should get the job done. Give me FSU. T.M. Prediction: 33-23 Seminoles. Line: +2.5 Line Parameter: play until -1.0 (can play ML..) | |||||||
09-02-23 | South Florida v. Western Kentucky -11.5 | Top | 24-41 | Win | 100 | 20 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Western Kentucky - ATS I like the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers to win this game against the South Florida Bulls on September 2nd. Coming off a terrific 9-5 season, the Hilltoppers are back and ready to make another run for the CUSA title. They return their star QB and this offense is about to explode just like last season. South Florida was just 1-11 last season. They are slightly improved. However, it's going to take time for this group to mold together. I'm shocked that this line is so low, especially @WKU. Expect a Hilltoppers destruction here today. T.M. Prediction: 44-17 WKU. Line: -11.5 Line Parameter: play until -13.5.. | |||||||
09-01-23 | Louisville -7 v. Georgia Tech | Top | 39-34 | Loss | -116 | 30 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Louisville - ATS I like Louisville to win this game against Georgia Tech on September 1st. Although Georgia Tech was ok last year. However, I believe that they have taken yet another step backwards, especially on the defensive end. They've got a great coach in Key, but you need a lot more than a coach in a team sport. Louisville is back and ready to dominate this season. Even after losing Malik Cunningham, the Cardinals are looking sharp and primed for another 8+ win season. Even on the road in this opening game, I expect Louisville to get the job done and cruise to an easy week 1 victory. T.M. Prediction: 38-14 Louisville. Line: -7.0 Line Parameter: play until -8.5.. | |||||||
08-26-23 | Hawaii v. Vanderbilt -17 | Top | 28-35 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Vanderbilt - ATS I like the Vanderbilt Commodores to win this game against the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors on Aug 26th. There isn't much to say about the stats for the first game of the year. However, this game has beatdown written all over it. Last season, when these two teams met, Vanderbilt took it to another level, winning the game 63-10. That game was played in Hawaii. Now the Rainbow Warriors, who are not very good on the road, travel all the way to Nashville to take them on again. Hawaii may be slightly better this season, but Vanderbilt should also be a bit better. SEC vs MVC. Give me the Commodores, in a blowout, in this Week 0 matchup. T.M. Prediction: 45-14 Commodores. Line: -17 Line Parameter: play until -19.0 | |||||||
12-30-22 | Pittsburgh v. UCLA -3.5 | Top | 37-35 | Loss | -110 | 167 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UCLA Bruins - ATS I like the UCLA Bruins to win this game against the Pittsburgh Panthers on Friday. Although Pitt has looked solid all season long, this UCLA Bruins team was just a few plays away from playing in the Pac-12 Conference Championship game. Now both of these teams have played some very tough opponents this season, but UCLA is looking for their 10th win of the season this year, while the Panthers can only reach nine with a win. With one of the best rushing attacks in the nation, a very capable offense, and a confident QB, I expect the Bruins to win this game hardly against a Pitt team that lost to Louisville and Georgia Tech this year. T.M. Prediction: 41-23 UCLA Line: -4.0 Line Parameter: play until -6.5 | |||||||
12-26-22 | New Mexico State +3.5 v. Bowling Green | Top | 24-19 | Win | 100 | 287 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: NMSU Aggies I like the New Mexico State Aggies to win this game against the Bowling Green Falcons in the Quick Lane Bowl on Monday. While both teams enter this game with a 6-6 record, the Aggies are coming into this game with all the confidence in the world. In their last game, they hammered Valparaiso 65-3 to get their bowl spot. Prior to that, the Aggies dominated a very good Liberty side 49-14 as 25.5 point underdogs. Bowling Green is coming into this game off a big loss against Ohio more than a month ago now. They've already gotten killed by Buffalo and lost to Kent St earlier this season. NMSU's defense is what has gotten them here and I believe that BGSU will have some difficulties, especially in the passing game on Monday. Now it may be closer than I'm predicting, but the Aggies should have no problem winning this game and finish the 2022 season off with a bang. T.M. Prediction: 37-14 Aggies Line: +1.0 Line Parameter: play until -2.5 (can play ML..) | |||||||
12-20-22 | Eastern Michigan +4 v. San Jose State | Top | 41-27 | Win | 100 | 9 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: EMU I like the Eastern Michigan Eagles to win this game against the San Jose State Spartans on Tuesday. While both teams only had four losses, the Eagles have now won three straight games. The Spartans have lost two of their last three. EMU has a great passing defense which should limit SJST's ability to move the ball. I believe that EMU is more complete and just the better overall team. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 33-23 EMU. Line: +4.0 Line Parameter: play until +3.0.. | |||||||
12-03-22 | Kansas State +2.5 v. TCU | Top | 31-28 | Win | 100 | 30 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Kansas State I like the Kansas State Wildcats to win this game against the TCU Horned Frogs on Saturday. TCU enters this game with a perfect 11-0 record. However, they've had to comeback in nearly half of their games this season, with a couple of last second wins to put them on top. KState has one of the best rushing attacks in the country. Although Will Howard will most likely get the start over Adrain Martinez, Deuce Vaughn will be able to provide a big boost just like he did in their first meeting earlier this year. With a loss, the committee might kick the Horned Frogs out of the Playoff so this is a huge game. The Wildcats want to prove to everyone that they are the best team in the Big-12 and have a massive chance to do that here today. I love KSU in this matchup, especially having seen TCU struggle this season with the easier games. T.M. Prediction: 41-31 KState. Line: +2.5 Line Parameter: play until PK. (can play ML..) | |||||||
12-02-22 | Utah +2.5 v. USC | Top | 47-24 | Win | 103 | 14 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Utah Utes I like the Utah Utes to win this game against the Southern California Trojans on Friday. While the season is nearing an end, both of these teams will look to show everyone what they are made of in this game. With a win, USC pretty much secures their spot in the CFB Playoff. However, this is the Utah team that has already beaten the Trojans earlier this season. Although USC has a better record and a more talented offense, the Utes are no joke either. Last years Pac-12 champs are hungrier than ever to regain their title this season. With a win, the Utes will prove to everyone that they deserve a huge bowl game. They will also knock the Trojans out of the playoff conversation. I expect Utah to be able to keep up with Southern California's offense, and for the defense to show that teams need defense in order to be considered great. +3.0 is a gift! T.M. Prediction: 37-31 Utah Line: +3.0 Line Parameter: play until +1.5 | |||||||
11-26-22 | Washington -1.5 v. Washington State | Top | 51-33 | Win | 100 | 16 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Washington I like the Washington Huskies to win this game against the Washington State Cougars on Saturday. Although as it stands, the Huskies wouldn't make the Pac-12 championship game, but they still have a lot to play for. If Oregon State, who's at home, beats Oregon, the Huskies would just need to win this game and they'll be in. QB Michael Penix has been a man on a mission this season as he's thrown for 3869 yards with 26 TDs and just 6 INTs. Washington State, on the other hand, hasn't gotten the greatest of seasons from Cameron Ward. Solid, but not amazing. I expect this Apple Cup to be a shootout, but with the better team coming out on top. T.M. Prediction: 38-30 Washington Line: -1.5 Line Parameter: play until -2.5 | |||||||
11-26-22 | Michigan +8.5 v. Ohio State | Top | 45-23 | Win | 100 | 120 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Michigan I like the Michigan Wolverines to win this game against the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday in “The Game." While both teams enter with a perfect 11-0 record, I am shocked to see that the Wolverines are the underdogs by this much. Last season when these two teams met, Michigan stole the show and won by 15 in a battle. This season, OSU have lost two top WR's and another one, in Jaxon Smith-Njigba will be probably sidelined once again this season. Blake Corum has been perhaps the best running back in the nation this year, and I expect him to have another ridiculous game here in this one. I wouldn't be surprised if either team wins this game, but getting +8.5 with a teams that's cruised past everyone all year, I'll take that any day of the year. T.M. Prediction: 41-38 Michigan. Line: +8.5 Line Parameter: play until +6.0 | |||||||
11-19-22 | Utah +3 v. Oregon | Top | 17-20 | Push | 0 | 130 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Utah Utes I like the Utah Utes to win this game against the Oregon Ducks on Saturday. Last season, these teams met twice (once in reg season and once in the Pac-12 championship game.) and the Utes killed them both times. This season, both teams are slightly different, but Utah still brings the same QB and RB into this game. A big blow was TE Brant Kuithe being ruled out for the season last month, but the Utes have relied on Dalton Kincaid in a big way to replace him. Oregon is coming into this game off a shocking loss against Washington last week that will kill any chances of them making the CFB Playoff. Utah wants to prove that they are still the better team and perhaps still even make the Pac-12 Championship game themselves. I expect the Utes to be familiar with the Oregon team and take it to them in a huge game that will be played like it's the Championship game on Saturday. I'll gladly take the points here. T.M. Prediction: 38-17 Utah. | |||||||
11-15-22 | Ohio -3.5 v. Ball State | Top | 32-18 | Win | 100 | 28 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ohio I like the Ohio Bobcats to win this game against the Ball State Cardinals on Tuesday. Ohio is the much better team and I believe that this game will prove that. Off 5 straight victories against conference opponents, the Bobcats are red hot at the moment. They now average 314.7 passing yards per game which ranks them in the top 15 in the country. Ball State is allowing 413.1 total yards per game, so Ohio should have no problem in scoring against these guys. If the Cardinals are to have a chance in this game, they'll need to put up a lot of points which I don't think that they are capable of doing. They've reached 40 points just once this season, and 30 just three times of the 10 games. Give me the Bobcats in a huge game for both teams. T.M. Prediction: 34-21 Bobcats. | |||||||
11-12-22 | TCU v. Texas -7 | Top | 17-10 | Loss | -110 | 125 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Texas I like the Texas Longhorns to win this game against the TCU Horned Frogs on Saturday. Considering both of their records, the entire world was probably shocked to see that the Longhorns are the 7 point favorite. However, I am not whatsoever and I believe that this Texas team is no joke, especially at home. TCU comes into this game with a perfect 9-0 record. They have been running through teams pretty easily and find themselves against a ranked Texas team in a must win game for them. TCU has a very prolific offense, but so do the Longhorns. Last week saw the guys in orange beat Kansas State on the road in a gigantic game. RB Bijan Robinson ended up with 209 yards on the ground with a touchdown in the win. It's going to be a battle, but the only loss that Texas has suffered at home this season was a one point loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide. It's the battle of Texas and I expect the Longhorns to "shock" the world and dominate against this undefeated Horned Frogs team this weekend. T.M. Prediction: 39-27 Longhorns. | |||||||
11-11-22 | Colorado v. USC -34 | Top | 17-55 | Win | 100 | 33 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: USC Tojans I like the USC Trojans to win this game against the Colorado Buffaloes on Friday. USC is one of the best teams in college football. Although they've lost a game this season, they still have a shot at glory, but they must win out and hammer these Buffaloes along the way. Good news is they might have their superstar WR in Jordan Addison back for this game who's been out for multiple weeks. I expect an absolute blowout on Friday Night. T.M. Prediction: 52-7 Trojans. | |||||||
11-05-22 | Alabama -12.5 v. LSU | Top | 31-32 | Loss | -110 | 126 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Alabama Crimson Tide I like the Alabama Crimson Tide to win this game against the Louisiana State Tigers on Saturday. After Alabama shockingly lost against the Tennessee Volunteers two weeks ago, they came back out and showed the world that they still want that playoff spot last week against Mississippi State. They held the Bulldogs to just 6 points and Bryce Young looked very confident in there. Now, they'll match up against an LSU team that has slowly been climbing up the rankings. The past few years, LSU hasn't really been a match for this Bama team. Although Head Coach Brian Kelly has them playing some good football at the moment, I would take Nick Saban any day of the week. In a must win game against a huge rival, give me the Crimson Tide on ESPN this Saturday. T.M. Prediction: 42-17 Bama. | |||||||
11-02-22 | Western Michigan +4.5 v. Bowling Green | Top | 9-13 | Win | 100 | 26 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Western Michigan I like the Western Michigan Broncos to win this game against the Bowling Green Falcons on Wednesday. Last week, we saw an excellent Broncos defense hold a Miami OH offense to just 10 points on the road. Bowling Green also come in off a win, but stat wise, the Falcons don't really have anything to be ecstatic for. They rank just 208th in the country in rushing yards per game, and are giving a up a total of 456 total yards per game to their opponents. Although it's a conference game, and BGSU is at home, I like WMU to win this game outright in a huge game to get them back in the bowl conversation. T.M. Prediciton: 28-18 WMU. | |||||||
10-22-22 | UCLA +6.5 v. Oregon | Top | 30-45 | Loss | -110 | 134 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UCLA I like the UCLA Bruins to win this game against the Oregon Ducks on Saturday. UCLA enters this game still perfect. They've beaten teams that many people thought they were going to struggle against, including wins against Utah and Washington. QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson has definitely been a "heisman" candidate so far as he's thrown for 1510 yards with 15TDs and just 2INTs, while adding 4 more TDs on the ground. He's got an extremely talented RB in Zach Charbonnet, and two excellent WRs in Kazmeir Allen and Jake Bobo to rely on. Looking at their offense, they are averaging 41.5 ppg which ranks them tied for 12th in the country. If they ever get to a third down, their conversion rate is 54.8% which ties them for 10th in the nation. Looking at Oregon, they've also looked very strong ever since their blowout loss against UGA in week 1. Even though they've got 5 wins this season, their wins aren't nearly as impressive as the Bruins' wins. Oregon loves to run the ball and UCLA has one of the best run defenses in college football. Although both teams are coming off a bye, I expect the Bruins to shock the world once again in a must-win situation for both of these teams. T.M. Prediction: 44-38 UCLA | |||||||
10-15-22 | San Jose State -6 v. Fresno State | Top | 10-17 | Loss | -110 | 149 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: San Jose State I like the San Jose State Spartans to win this game against the Fresno State Bulldogs on Saturday. Off last week's 20pt defeat against Boise St, Fresno has now lost 4 straight games, including a very bad one to UCONN in week five. I know their starting QB Jake Haener has been out, but without him they've been absolutely horrendous. For SJSU, they have a very good defense. They rank 17th in the country in passing yards allowed per game. They've also put up 33+ pts in their last 3 games. QB Chevan Cordeiro has been excellent, throwing the ball for 1308 yards with 6TDs and no turnovers so far this season (12 total TDs.) Last week's win has the Spartans on a perfect 5-0 ATS run in October. They are also 6-2 ATS against conference opponents. On the other hand, the Bulldogs are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games played. With Jake Haener week-to-week, I don't expect him to play in this game, which should spark this confident San Jose State team. T.M. Prediction: 38-18 Spartans. | |||||||
10-08-22 | Oregon -12.5 v. Arizona | Top | 49-22 | Win | 100 | 127 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oregon Ducks I like the Oregon Ducks to win this game against the Arizona Wildcats on Saturday. Since losing to Georgia in week 1, Oregon has looked very strong. In their last game against Stanford, QB Bo Nix was tremendous, throwing for 161 and 2 TDs, with 141 on the ground and 2 more TDs. He's now got 1261 passing yards on the year with 12 TDs and just 3 INTs. Plus he's got 5 more TDs on the ground. Arizona on the other hand, just beat a very bad Colorado team. Although they won by 23, their defense was not that good in the win. The week prior to that, they were picked apart by Cal-Berkeley who are not nearly as strong as this Oregon side. Dating back a few seasons now, the Wildcats are only 2-18 in their last 20 games played against Pac-12 opponents. Oregon though, is 8-2 in their last 10 played against conference opponents as well. AZ has sort of just jumped out of the sky, passing all game to try and keep up with these teams. I expect this game to be high scoring, but for the Ducks to stay undefeated in conference play here in week 6. Give me Oregon on Saturday Night. T.M. Prediction: 47-24 Ducks. | |||||||
10-01-22 | Oklahoma State +2.5 v. Baylor | Top | 36-25 | Win | 100 | 120 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oklahoma State I like the Oklahoma State Cowboys to win this game against the Baylor Bears on Saturday. Entering the season and looking at the schedules of these teams, both of them were expecting to be undefeated for this matchup. Baylor, however, lost a tight game against BYU in week 2, and comes in with a single loss. Although QB Blake Shapen look decent last week against ISU, he is only averaging 193.3 passing yards per game. On the other hand, Cowboys' QB Spencer Saunders is averaging 300+ passing yards per game and has a 10-1 TD-INT ratio. Looking at OKST's schedule, they starting off a bit shaky against Central Michigan, but each week, they are looking stronger and stronger. In their last 7 games against teams ranked in the AP Top 25, Oklahoma State is 6-1. The Cowboys also rank #1 in the country in points per game this season with 51.7. If they get off to an early lead, I expect them to have no problem closing it out as they are 116-13 under HC Mike Gundy, when they have a lead at halftime. I also believe that the 2 weeks to prepare for this Bears team is going to make a huge difference in the outcome of this game. Ride 'em Cowboys. T.M. Selection: 26-23 OKST. | |||||||
09-24-22 | Georgia Tech v. Central Florida -20 | Top | 10-27 | Loss | -110 | 76 h 56 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UCF Knights. I like the Central Florida Knights to win this game against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Saturday. Although they had a tough defeat against Louisville in week 2, the Knights have looked very sharp here to open the season. They've got the 10th ranked offence in the country in terms of ypg (541.7) and the 9th best in terms of rushing yards per game (273.) Not to mention they've got one of the best passing defences in the nation as well as they rank 12th in passing ypg. QB John Rhys Plumlee is a bad man. He's already got 778 passing yards, with 304 rushing yards in 3 games. On the other hand, Georgia Tech hasn't looked all that impressive this year. Off a 42-0 blowout loss against Ole Miss, the Yellow Jackets now have one of the worst offences. Their defence is almost as bad. QB Jeff Sims only has 425 passing yards with 1TD and 2INTs on the year. In the Yellow Jackets' last six games, they've failed to cover the spread in each of them. GT is also 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games played against teams from the AAC. I'm expecting an absolute beatdown on ESPNU here on Saturday. Go Knights! T.M. Prediction: 41-10 UCF. | |||||||
09-17-22 | Miami-FL +6 v. Texas A&M | Top | 9-17 | Loss | -110 | 145 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Miami FL (vs. Texas A&M) I like the Miami Florida Hurricanes to win this game against the Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday. Everyone is going to be all over the Aggies in this one after getting upset last week against Appalachian State. There's no way they can be upset again, can they? Well, this Miami FL team is really good. And when I say really good, I mean really really good. Miami comes into this game 2-0. Although both of their first two matchups were a significant mismatch, the Hurricanes look like they are back and ready to make some noise this season. QB Tyler Van Dyke is someone that all eyes should be on here in this game. He can make some huge plays and make them look easy when they really aren't. Also, watch out for WR Xavier Restrepo, who is very reliable, with 199 yards through the first two games. For A&M, they were the buzz of the offseason after their ridiculous recruiting class. Their only problem is that they've got a battle for the QB position, and they are extremely young. I expect the Hurricanes to upset this Aggies team on the road here on Saturday. Even though I personally wouldn't consider it an upset. T.M. Prediction: 34-28 Miami FL Hurricanes. | |||||||
09-10-22 | Iowa State +4 v. Iowa | Top | 10-7 | Win | 100 | 127 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Iowa State Cyclones I like the Iowa State Cyclones to win this game against the Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday. The battle for the best team in Iowa will be at Kinnick Stadium this weekend. Although the Cyclones haven't fared too well lately against Iowa, they looked much better in Week 1. Iowa State opened their year up last week with a comfortable win over Southeast Missouri State. A nice way to open up a season to get a game under their belt and have some film to look at. Iowa started out in a similar situation, in a supposed to be "easy" win to open up the year. They were up against South Dakota State, and boy was it difficult. In a 7-3 win, the Hawkeyes barely survived as their defense ended up scoring more points than their offense. Iowa had two safeties which were the deciding points in the end. Now this Hawkeye defense is legit, everyone knows that, but if your offense plays like they did last week, I have no doubt in my mind that Iowa State will make them pay. Spencer Petras, Iowa's QB, was pretty awful. Only 11/25 passing for 109 yards and an INT. On the other hand, Iowa St's QB in Hunter Dekkers look great. Passing for 293 yards and 4 TDs. Even though the Hawkeyes are at home, and have won 6 in a row in the series, give me the Cyclones in this big rivalry game. Iowa's offense is just too bad for me to think they have a chance here today. T.M. Prediction: 21-10 Cyclones. | |||||||
09-03-22 | North Carolina v. Appalachian State +1 | Top | 63-61 | Loss | -110 | 47 h 59 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Appalachian State Mountaineers I like the Appalachian State Mountaineers to win this game against the North Carolina Tar Heels on Saturday. UNC opened up the season in Week Zero with a win over the Florida A&M Rattlers. Now that game doesn't say much, considering the Rattlers had 25 ineligible players that didn't suit up. Off a great 10-4 season, the Mountaineers will be still be looking to improve on it. Looking at this game, this is the perfect week 1 matchup for Appalachian State. Playing a solid power-5 conference team, that they know they can beat will definitely boost their national ranking with a win. Also, with Texas A&M next on the schedule for the Mountaineers, this is practically a must win situation for them. A known double-digit win team starting the season 0-2 would be a complete disaster. Veteran QB Chase Brice will lead the offense out for App St. They also have two very strong running backs in Nate Noel and Camerun Peoples to rely on if need be. For UNC, they have a decent squad, but they will need their defense to be much better than last week if they want to have a chance here. The Tar Heels are only 2-3 in their last 5 games played on the road while App St is riding on a perfect 6-0 record in their last 6 home games. Give me the Mountaineers here today. T.M. Prediction: 36-29 App St | |||||||
09-02-22 | Western Michigan v. Michigan State -20.5 | Top | 13-35 | Win | 100 | 31 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Michigan State Spartans I like the Michigan State Spartans to win this game against the Western Michigan Broncos on Friday. The Spartans began last season off with an incredible 8-0 run, but only ended 3-2. Although they lost star running back Kenneth Walker III to the Seahawks in this years NFL draft, MSU should be just as good in the trenches, at least in this game. This Western Michigan defense gave up 4.5 yards per carry last year, and now have to start a few new guys on the defensive line. MSU brings a 4-0-1 record into this one in their last 5 non-conference games. They also went 9-2-2 ATS last season. The last time these two schools met, in 2019, MSU obliterated the Broncos 51-17. With the loss of their top receiver in Skyy Moore, it will be tough to move the ball against this Spartan defense. WMU is 0-4 ATS in their L4 games against Big Ten opponents as well as 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games played on a Friday. Expect the Spartans to prove to everyone that last season wasn't a fluke here in this one as they open the season up at home. Let's just be honest here, Michigan State is from the better conference and is the much better team in this one so I like the Spartans to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 41-13 | |||||||
12-29-21 | Iowa State v. Clemson -2 | Top | 13-20 | Win | 100 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Clemson (10* MONEY-MAKER). Clemson is going for its sixth straight win today. The Tigers are coming off a 30-0 win over South Carolina, whil the Cyclones enter off a 48-14 win over TCU. The Tigers won seven of their last eight games after a slow start to the year. The Tigers average 26.8 PPG, while allowing 16.1. DJ Uiagalelei has 2,059 passing yards, nine TD's and nine INT's. Iowa State averages 34.4 PPG, while allowing 21.5. QB Brock Purdy has 2,984 passing yards, 18 TD's and seven INT's. RB Breece Hall has 1,472 ruishing yards and 20 TD's, along with 953 receiving yards and five TD's. The only problem for Iowa State here though is that Hall has already left for the NFL draft. That's a HUGE problem for Iowa State facing this elite level Tigers' defense. That's the difference-maker today for me guys. Lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-18-21 | Oregon State v. Utah State +7.5 | Top | 13-24 | Win | 100 | 30 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Utah State. I like Utah State to cover the spread against Oregon State in this game on Saturday. Utah State is getting around 7 points in this game and they finished the year off with a much better record than Oregon State did at 10-3 and they are a conference champion after beating San Diego State in the MWC title game. Other than 1 slip up against Wyoming, Utah State looked really good in their final games of the year and they were winning their games by large margins. They won the conference championship game alone by 30+ points, putting up 46 points on the San Diego State defense that was really good all year long. They have won 5 of their previous 6 games and all 5 of those wins were by 20+ points. Utah State has been having a great year on both offense and defense. Oregon State has been very up and down this year though. They have won 2 of their previous 3 games but have lost 3 of their previous 5 games and their defense has looked bad in all of those games whether they won or lost. They didn't give up more than 15+ points in their previous 2 wins but they have given up 20+ points in most of their wins this year. They have lost 5 games this year and they have given up 30+ points in all of those games. Oregon State does not have a good defense and I think that is going to be a huge problem here with the way that Utah State has looked on offense. I think Utah State is going to keep scoring in this game and run up the score on Oregon State to the point where they won't be able to come back. I think Utah State is better and has a good chance at winning this game with all of the momentum they have from their conference championship. I like Utah State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 38-24 Utah State. | |||||||
12-04-21 | Kent State v. Northern Illinois +3.5 | Top | 23-41 | Win | 100 | 21 h 21 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Northern Illinois. I like Northern Illinois to cover the spread against Kent State in this game on Saturday. Northern Illinois looked really good all year and they finished with the best record in the MAC this year. They lost their most recent game to Western Michigan but I think that they were looking ahead to this game and will be ready to play Kent State here. Northern Illinois lost to Kent State at the beginning of November and it was a close game, Northern Illinois losing it by 5 points 52-47. I think that Northern Illinois is going to be looking for their revenge against Kent State here and I expect them to play hard since this is the title game too. Kent State has looked a bit shaky in their games lately. They barely won their previous game against Miami Ohio winning that game by 1 point in OT. They had to win that game to get into this one too so they put a lot of effort into that game and I think that Northern Illinois has been focused on this game for twice the amount of time that Kent State has been. Northern Illinois was dominating conference teams all year and every little thing went their way this year in their games since there were quite a few games that they just barely won by 3 points or less. I think it is Northern Illinois' year and I think that they are good enough to win this game and the title. I like Northern Illinois to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 37-34 Northern Illinois. | |||||||
11-26-21 | Iowa +1 v. Nebraska | Top | 28-21 | Win | 100 | 25 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Iowa. I like Iowa to cover the spread against Nebraska in this game on Friday. Iowa has been having a great year with just 2 losses, they haven't looked the best in all of their games this year but they are still a very talented team. Their only losses of the year were to Purdue right after they played a very emotional game against Penn State just barely getting that win, and to Wisconsin right after that who looks to be on their way to the Big 10 title game. Their offense has looked really good in their previous 2 games, they put up 27 points and 33 points and their running game was very good too. Nebraska has not been having the year that they planned to with only 3 wins this year. They have lost 5 games in a row and they were all close games that they had a chance to win in. They were unable to win any of them though and I think that this team just has a problem playing a full 60 minutes and finishing their games off. I also think they have fallen short so many times because they are good but just not good enough. Iowa has a really good defense and their offense has looked really good too lately. I think Iowa should be the favorite here, they are just the better team. I like Iowa to cover the spread and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 27-21 Iowa. | |||||||
11-20-21 | Michigan State +19.5 v. Ohio State | Top | 7-56 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Michigan State. I like Michigan State to cover the spread against Ohio State in this game on Saturday. Michigan State has looked really good all year, they only have 1 loss this year against Purdue but that loss came right after a big game against Michigan where they won so that game against Purdue was a let down spot for them. They bounced back from that performance last week when they beat Maryland by 19 points. There is no doubt that they have been looking forward to this game all year. Ohio State is ranked in the top 4 at the moment but a loss in this game could destroy their playoff hopes altogether and I think Michigan State is going play like they want to deliver that loss to them. Michigan State has a really good defense and I think they will keep Ohio State from running away with this game. This game is very important so I think it is going to be a much closer game with 2 really good teams here. I like Michigan State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 38-27 Ohio State. | |||||||
11-13-21 | Georgia -20 v. Tennessee | Top | 41-17 | Win | 100 | 48 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Georgia. I like Georgia to cover the spread against Tennessee in this game on Saturday. Georgia is the best team in the country this year and they have the best defense by far. Georgia's defense has not given up 14+ points in a single game this year and they haven't even given up 75 points total for the year. Their offense is no slouch either though, they have put up 30+ points in every game this year except for their first game against Clemson. Tennessee has looked better this year as the weeks go on but I think their defense is going to get burned by Georgia in this game and I don't think they are going to be able to score a lot of points either. Tennessee just lost a few weeks ago to Alabama by almost 30 points and they still put up 24 points in that game. I don't think they will be able to put up anywhere near that many points on Georgia's defense and I think Georgia is still going to put up roughly the same as Alabama did. This defense is just too good to let Tennessee score with ease so I like Georgia to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 45-10 Georgia. | |||||||
11-06-21 | Ohio State -14 v. Nebraska | Top | 26-17 | Loss | -112 | 9 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ohio State. I like Ohio State to cover the spread against Nebraska in this game on Saturday. Ohio State have looked much better in every game since their little hiccup against Oregon at the beginning of the season. They have put up over 50+ points in most of those games and have put up 30+ points in all of them. Their defense is playing much better too, giving up less than 20 points in each of their last 5 games, except their last 1 against Penn State. Nebraska is no Penn State though, and I don't think they will be able to even put up 20 points on this Ohio State defense. Nebraska have lost 3 games in a row now and even though they made all of those games close where they had a chance to win the game, they still lost all of them to teams much worse than Ohio State. CJ Stroud is looking to express why his team deserves a playoff berth and a blowout win here would really help their case out a lot. I think they are going to go out there and destroy Nebraska without taking their foot off the gas at any point. I like Ohio State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 49-14 Ohio State. | |||||||
10-23-21 | 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. | |||||||
10-16-21 | 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. | |||||||
10-09-21 | 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. | |||||||
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. | |||||||
09-04-21 | 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 | |||||||
01-02-21 | Kentucky -2.5 v. NC State | Top | 23-21 | Loss | -110 | 122 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Kentucky (10* GAME OF THE MONTH). NC State and Bailey Hockman were "OK," but the Wolfpack simply are unable to stop anyone. NC State averages 31.1 PPG, but it allows 29.7. Terry Wilson and Hockman are a "wash" here in my opinion. Kentucky averaged only 21.7 PPG, while allowing 26.4. Kentucky has faced the stiffer schedule though, and despite being down a few pieces on the defensive end, I still think the Wildcats are much, much better in that department. I look for this game to be decided in the trenches and I like Kentucky to find a way to get the job done in the end; lay the short points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-01-21 | Ohio State v. Clemson -7 | Top | 49-28 | Loss | -115 | 107 h 36 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Clemson (FIRST HALF MONEY-MAKER). I think the correct call here is Clemson in the FIRST HALF. These teams feature a lot of talent on both sides of the ball. They have similar offensive and defensive numbers and each features one of the best QB's in the nation. So why will the Tigers jump out to an early lead in the first half in my opinion? The Buckeyes beat Northwestern 22-10 in the Big Ten Championship, but note that they were down 10-6 at half time. I like Clemson's superior defense to hold OSU down in the first half here as well. I'm laying the points and expceting it to pay immediate dividends for us in the FIRST HALF. T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-01-21 | Cincinnati +9.5 v. Georgia | Top | 21-24 | Win | 100 | 3 h 28 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). Georgia was 7-2, its only losses coming to Flordia and Alabama. The Bulldogs finished 37th in the nation in scoring and 20th in points allowed. The Bearcats though have something to prove here in my opinion after getting snubbed from the big games after finishing the regular season 9-0. Cincy was 15th in the nation in scoring and 17th in the nation in defense. JT Daniels and Georgia average 33.2 PPG, while dual-threat Desmond Ridder leads a potent offense, which is backed by a defense which concedes only 17 PPG. This is a statement game for the Bearcats and its pretty meaningless for Georgia. I'm grabbing the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-31-20 | Ball State v. San Jose State -9 | Top | 34-13 | Loss | -117 | 76 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: San Jose State (10* MONEY-MAKER). Ball State has won six straight, including vs. the Buffalo Bulls in the Conference Title game. The Cardinals average 34.3 PPG, but now they face the best defense they've seen all year in the Spartans, who allow just 17.86 PPG. The Spartans also average 30.9 PPG, while the Cardinals concede 27.6. Drew Pitt is a good quarterback, but I think he'll struggle vs. this suffocating Spartans defensive front, as I expect it to turn the Cards offense very one-dimensional. The Spartans are also 8-1-2 ATS in their last 11 following a SU win, while the Cardinals are in fact 0-4 ATS in their last four Bowl contests. Lay the points, expect a blowout of epic proportions! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-30-20 | Wisconsin -7 v. Wake Forest | Top | 42-28 | Win | 100 | 50 h 29 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Wisconsin (BOWL GAME OF THE YEAR). Wake Forest has a good offense, but its opponents have been suspect. One thing for sure though, Wake Forest is downright terrible on the defensive side of the ball. Wake QB Sam Hartman is decent, but they've allowed a combined 105 points over two straight losses. Hartman was poor in the loss to Louisville as well, going just 17 of 41 for 224 yards. Graham Mertz is a game manager for the Badgers, but he was decent in the win over the tough Gophers, going 12 of 20 for 132 yards and a TD. Wisconsin is also 4-1 ATS in its last five non-conference games. Wake's offense is decent, but I think the Badgers are the more complete team. I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: 34-17 Wisconsin. | |||||||

T.M. Selection: Georgia State (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). Georgia State was crushed by 51 points by Coastal Carolina on Halloween, but since then the Panthers have outscored their last four opponents by a total of 126-89. Georgia State QB Cornelius Brown IV is a difference-maker for me, he's played great over his last two games, going for the biggest passing yardage of the season thus far over those contests. WKU's offense is one of the worst in the nation and while it's defense is decent, I can't see the Hilltoppers keeping pace in the second half. Note as well that WKU is just 1-5 ATS in its last six vs. the Sun Belt, while the Panthers are interestingly 6-2 ATS in their last eight games that fall on a Saturday. Does that matter? It doesn't hurt! Look for the Panthers to pull away for a comfortable cover and lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-25-20 | Marshall v. Buffalo -4.5 | Top | 10-17 | Win | 100 | 31 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Buffalo (10* TOP PLAY). Marshall is 7-2, but it comes in on terrible form having dropped two in a row, most recently a 22-13 setback to UAB. The Bulls are 5-1 and their only loss came last time out in a 38-28 setback to Ball State. Buffalo was favored in that contest, but I think the Bulls will bounce back here. Note that Buffalo is 4-0 ATS in its last four following a SU loss, while Marshall is a poor 0-5 ATS in its last five following a SU win. I look for these strong trends to continue; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-23-20 | Georgia Southern -6 v. Louisiana Tech | Top | 38-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 43 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Georgia Southern (10* BEST OF THE BEST). Despite Shai Werts out for this one, I still think Georgia Southern's loaded roster will find a way to deliver the goods in the New Orleans Bowl. Georgia Southern is dominant on the defensive end, allowing just 22.3 PPG. Miller Mosley is likely getting the start for Georgia Southern, and he'll be going against a poor LA Tech defense which allowed a ghastly 34.3 PPG this year. The only reason LA Tech is in this Bowl is because of the weird pandemic year. As stated off the top, despite Werts being out, I still like Georgia Southern to easily dominate this one; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-22-20 | Central Florida v. BYU -6.5 | Top | 23-49 | Win | 100 | 27 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: BYU (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). No need to overthink this one. UCF has been great offensively, averaging 44.3 PPG, but it concedes 31.4 PPG. That's not going to cut it here vs. this hungry Cougars side, which averages 43 PPG and allows just 14.6. BYU QB Zach Wilson is going to have a big day today; note that he finished by completing 73.2 percent of his passes for 30 touchdowns and only three interceptions. The Golden Knights were miserable against the pass and I can't see them keeping pace as the game comes down the stretch; lay the points, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-21-20 | North Texas v. Appalachian State -21 | Top | 28-56 | Win | 100 | 6 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Appalachian State (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). Yes, the Mean Green offense has been good this year. But has that been because of the level of competition it's faced? North Texas and Austin Aune average 35.1 PPG, but guess what? UNT is terrible defensively, allowing 41.3. The only reason UNT is in this Bowl Game is because of the weird Covid issues we're all under. App State is a lot better, on both sides of the ball. Overall Zac Thomas and the Mountaineers average 31.8 PPG. And guess what?! The defense has been even better, conceding only 19.3 points and just 314.2 yards per game. Look for App State's tough defensive play to prove to be too much for UNT in the end; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 41-11 App State. | |||||||
12-19-20 | Alabama v. Florida +17.5 | Top | 52-46 | Win | 100 | 107 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Florida (10* ULTIMATE OF THE ULTIMATE.) Sorry, I'm dealing with power/technical issues due to a severe storm in the Pacific Northwest right now, so I'm not able to properly give my usual extremely detailed analysis today. Kyle Trask and Mac Jones are poised for an epic battle here in my opinion. Alabama has been great defensively of late, but this is an explosive and versatile offense behind Jones. I don't expect any outright upsets or anything, but I do think this is too many points to be giving up to this underrated Florida team. Note that the Gators are 7-2 ATS in their last nine as an underdog in the +16.5 to +18.5 points range as well. I'm grabbing the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-12-20 | North Carolina v. Miami-FL -3 | Top | 62-26 | Loss | -112 | 100 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Miami (10* GAME OF THE MONTH). The bottom line is, UNC's defense is terrible. Granted, the Tar Heels offense is spectacular, but if you can't slow anyone down, how are you supposed to win a game? Miami Florida on the other hand is legit on both sides of the ball. UNC averages 36.3 PPG, but, Miami averages 34.9. The Hurricanes' defense isn't what it used to be in year's past, but it's certainly much better than the Tar Heels' incompetent unit. The home team is also 7-1 ATS the last eight in this series, while the Tar Heels are 0-4 against the spread following a straight-up victory. Look for Miami to pull away for the comfortable SU/ATS win/cover; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-10-20 | Florida Atlantic v. Southern Miss +8.5 | Top | 31-45 | Win | 100 | 57 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Southern Miss (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). This one sets up well for Southern Miss, who I think will easily cover with the large spread it's been afforded here. FAU is for sure the better team, but this is its final game of the year and after last week's 20-3 loss to Georgia Southern, I can't see the visiting side coming here very motivated. Southern Mississippi has had its last two games canceled due to covid issues, but three weeks ago it lost 23-20 in a competitive setback to UTSA. It's senior night for Southern Miss as well and that's an important motivational factor we can exploit here as well. I won't be so bold as to call for the outright upset, but the stage is definitely set for a real nail-biter on Thursday night; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 21-17 FAU. | |||||||
12-05-20 | Florida v. Tennessee +17.5 | Top | 31-19 | Win | 100 | 75 h 60 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Tennessee (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). I was originally leaning towards Florida here, but after carefully examining this contest a little further, I'm now 100% going the other way. The Vols haven't played since a 30-17 loss at Auburn all the way back on October 21st. The Gators have a big red target on their backs now, as they have Playoff Championship hopes after last week's 34-10 win over Kentucky. With LSU at home next weekend, I think the Gators let up in the second half as they prepare to close out strong in front of the home town crowd. The Vols actually outgained Auburn 464-385 in their loss to Auburn and with the extra time off to prepare, I look for them to deliver the solid back door cover; grab the points! 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. | |||||||
11-27-20 | 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. | |||||||
11-26-20 | 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. | |||||||
11-19-20 | 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. |
