11-19-22 | Utah +3 v. Oregon | Top | 17-20 | Push | 0 | 130 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Utah Utes I like the Utah Utes to win this game against the Oregon Ducks on Saturday. Last season, these teams met twice (once in reg season and once in the Pac-12 championship game.) and the Utes killed them both times. This season, both teams are slightly different, but Utah still brings the same QB and RB into this game. A big blow was TE Brant Kuithe being ruled out for the season last month, but the Utes have relied on Dalton Kincaid in a big way to replace him. Oregon is coming into this game off a shocking loss against Washington last week that will kill any chances of them making the CFB Playoff. Utah wants to prove that they are still the better team and perhaps still even make the Pac-12 Championship game themselves. I expect the Utes to be familiar with the Oregon team and take it to them in a huge game that will be played like it's the Championship game on Saturday. I'll gladly take the points here. T.M. Prediction: 38-17 Utah. | |||||||
11-19-22 | Oklahoma State +7.5 v. Oklahoma | 13-28 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: OKST Cowboys I like the Oklahoma State Cowboys to win this game against the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday. The battle of Oklahoma is always a good one. Last year when these two teams met, the Cowboys won the game 37-33. I believe that this years result will be very similar. In a very strong passing offense, OK ST brings in the #22 ranking in the country. The Cowboys may have lost two very big games against KState and Kansas, but last weeks win against ISU has given them their confidence back. The Sooners come into this game off back to back losses against both WVU and Baylor. They will need to win either this game or the game next week against Texas Tech to become bowl eligible. However, I do not see them winning this game. Oklahoma State may not have the best defense this season, but it's better than the OU defense, especially in 3rd down situations. Expect an upset here. T.M. Prediction: 38-31 Cowboys. Line: +7.5 Line Parameter: play until +4.5 | |||||||
11-19-22 | Connecticut +11 v. Army | 17-34 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UCONN I like the Connecticut Huskies to win this game against the Army Black Knights on Saturday. This line seems off. I know that UCONN had been terrible in previous years, but they are above .500 and are double digit underdogs in this one. Both teams love to run the ball. Therefore, I believe that the clock will be running throughout the entire game and Army won't be able to extend a lead. In their win against Liberty last weekend, UCONN had possession of the ball for more than 4 minutes more than the Flames. That has been a common theme in most of their games this season. Off three straight wins, against a team that only has three wins on the year, I love Connecticut here in this one. I'll gladly take this insane value. T.M. Prediction: 29-23 UCONN Line: +10.5 Line Parameter: play until +8.5 | |||||||
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. | |||||||
11-13-22 | Cardinals v. Rams -3 | 27-17 | Loss | -110 | 142 h 10 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Rams I like the Los Angeles Rams to win this game against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Although Cardinals Safety Budda Baker gave a very strong and heartfelt speech to the team about their performing level, I think that the defending champs are just the stronger team. AZ has had injury problems, communication problems, and relationship problems throughout the year and this is not going to be easy for them. In the past, Rams HC Sean McVay has been up against the Cardinals thirteen times. He is 12-1 SU (11-1-1 ATS) against them. I call that absolute domination. Give me McVay once again on Sunday Afternoon. T.M. Prediction: 27-20 Rams. | |||||||
11-13-22 | Cowboys v. Packers +3 | Top | 28-31 | Win | 100 | 290 h 29 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Packers I like the Green Bay Packers to win this game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Off 5 straight losses, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers find themselves needing wins, and needing them in bunches. People thought that they weren't going to be as good, but nobody thought that they would be at 3-6 at this point in the year. Now, back at home against a Cowboys team that is coming off a bye will be a huge game for them. Dallas, who has spent half of their season with a backup QB, actually own a 6-2 record on the season. They've been spreading the ball around and making it look easy on defense with Micah Parsons. However, Dallas have struggled against Aaron Rogers in the past. In their last 9 meetings against each other, the Packers have won 8 of them. The Cowboys have also struggled in the month of November the past few seasons, as they only hold a 2-8 record in their last 10 games in this month. Even though their record isn't the greatest so far this season, Green Bay is a dominant 16-4 in their last 20 games played at Lambeau Field. As a home underdog in a must win game to practically save their season, I expect Rogers to win this game for his team on Sunday. T.M. Prediction: 26-17 Packers | |||||||
11-13-22 | Jaguars v. Chiefs -9 | 17-27 | Win | 100 | 20 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas City Chiefs I like the Kansas City Chiefs to win this game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. The Chiefs might be the best team in the AFC right now. With Josh Allen dealing with an injury, and the defending AFC Champs struggling a tad bit, the Chiefs dynasty might very be back and better than ever. With Mahomes and Travis Kelce, I'm not sure if there's a better duo in the league right now. Coming off a sneaky OT win against the Titans, I believe that Andy Reid will make sure that this game isn't as close. The Jags have struggled against Mahomes in the past and they should again today. Give me KC. T.M. Prediction: 38-17 Chiefs. | |||||||
11-12-22 | TCU v. Texas -7 | Top | 17-10 | Loss | -110 | 125 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Texas I like the Texas Longhorns to win this game against the TCU Horned Frogs on Saturday. Considering both of their records, the entire world was probably shocked to see that the Longhorns are the 7 point favorite. However, I am not whatsoever and I believe that this Texas team is no joke, especially at home. TCU comes into this game with a perfect 9-0 record. They have been running through teams pretty easily and find themselves against a ranked Texas team in a must win game for them. TCU has a very prolific offense, but so do the Longhorns. Last week saw the guys in orange beat Kansas State on the road in a gigantic game. RB Bijan Robinson ended up with 209 yards on the ground with a touchdown in the win. It's going to be a battle, but the only loss that Texas has suffered at home this season was a one point loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide. It's the battle of Texas and I expect the Longhorns to "shock" the world and dominate against this undefeated Horned Frogs team this weekend. T.M. Prediction: 39-27 Longhorns. | |||||||
11-12-22 | North Texas +6 v. UAB | 21-41 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: North Texas I like the North Texas Mean Green to win this game against the UAB Blazers on Saturday. I believe that the wrong team is favored in this game. UNT comes into this game with a very solid 6-4 record. They just beat FIU by 38 points and are coming in red hot after beating WKU by 27 in week 9. UAB comes into this game off a double OT loss against UTSA in a game that they really could have used. They've now lost three straight games and have a real tough schedule the rest of the way with LSU next. Even on the road, the Mean Green should have no problem winning this game, and winning it with ease. T.M. Prediction: 41-24 UNT. | |||||||
11-12-22 | Rutgers +11 v. Michigan State | 21-27 | Win | 100 | 95 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Rutgers I like the Rutgers Scarlet Knights to win this game against the Michigan State Spartans on Saturday. Although Michigan State is coming off their biggest win of the season, I believe that the Spartans are favored by way to much in this one. Rutgers started this season with a perfect 3-0 record. Even though they've struggled slightly as of late, their defense has been dominant all year. Through nine games, the Scarlet Knights are only giving up 309 total yards per game, which ranks them tied for 24th in the entire country. On the other hand, the Spartans are giving up 413.7 total ypg. MSU will come into this game over confident, after last weeks game, and will struggle against this really good defense on Saturday. I like Rutgers to pull off the upset. T.M. Prediction: 24-21 Rutgers. | |||||||
11-11-22 | Colorado v. USC -34 | Top | 17-55 | Win | 100 | 33 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: USC Tojans I like the USC Trojans to win this game against the Colorado Buffaloes on Friday. USC is one of the best teams in college football. Although they've lost a game this season, they still have a shot at glory, but they must win out and hammer these Buffaloes along the way. Good news is they might have their superstar WR in Jordan Addison back for this game who's been out for multiple weeks. I expect an absolute blowout on Friday Night. T.M. Prediction: 52-7 Trojans. | |||||||
11-10-22 | Falcons v. Panthers +3 | 15-25 | Win | 100 | 56 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Panthers I like the Carolina Panthers to win this game against the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday. These two teams met a few weeks back where they went to OT in a battle. It was one of the most entertaining games of the year so far and the Falcons ended up with the game winning field goal late in overtime to win it. However, the Panthers come into this game knowing that they can score with ease on this shaky defense. Although Carolina has just a 2-7 record, this division is still completely up for grabs. Even without some of their premiere talent they had to start the season, the Panthers still have a very young and talented squad. With DJ Moore going up against the second best corner the Falcons have (AJ Terrell is out,) give me Moore any day of the week. I expect the Panthers to bounce back with a win here on TNF. T.M. Prediction: 27-17 Panthers. | |||||||
11-06-22 | Colts v. Patriots -5 | 3-26 | Win | 100 | 72 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Patriots I like the New England Patriots to win this game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. The Colts will be out without Jonathan Taylor once again and I expect this Patriots team to have no problem dealing with an injured Indy side here in Sunday. Being in a tough division should also help the Patriots as they come in off a huge win against the 5-3 New York Jets. At home, with the better coach, I'll take that all day. T.M. Prediction: 23-14 Pats. | |||||||
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. | |||||||
10-30-22 | Packers +11.5 v. Bills | Top | 17-27 | Win | 100 | 151 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Green Bay Packers I like the Green Bay Packers to cover the spread against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night. Off another disappointing week for Green Bay, the Packers find themselves just 3-4 on the season. Aaron Rodgers hasn't been awful, the wide receivers just haven't really given him any help. Whether it's dropping passes or just getting separation, it's been tough for the guys in Green and Yellow. For the Bills, their only loss this year came against the Dolphins in week 3. They're coming off their bye and should be fully focussed on this game. However, in their last meeting against each other (back in 2018,) the Packers shut them out with a 22-0 victory. This is a tough task nowadays to come play in Buffalo on Sunday Night, but Aaron Rodgers has done it all and I expect him to be ready for this Primetime game with a lot on the line. The line is way too big and I wouldn't even be surprised if the Packers pulled of the big upset here in this one. T.M. Prediction: 34-33 Bills | |||||||
10-30-22 | Broncos +2.5 v. Jaguars | 21-17 | Win | 100 | 18 h 26 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Broncos I like the Denver Broncos to win this game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Coming into this season, the Broncos were supposed to be good. I mean not just good, people had this team as a contender to possibly even win the Super Bowl at the start of the year. While starting just 2-5, Denver looks to start their way back to .500 with a win here in London. QB Russell Wilson is dealing with an injury, but I expect him to play in this game and bring the Broncos offense to life here. The Jags come in off a loss against the Giants last week. While they started the year off with a 2-1 record, they have now lost four straight games and I don't think that they will be able to turn it around with the upcoming schedule that they have. Give me the Broncos, in a mini upset in London. T.M. Prediction: 24-17 Broncos. | |||||||
10-29-22 | Missouri v. South Carolina -4 | 23-10 | Loss | -107 | 100 h 12 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: South Carolina I like the South Caroline Gamecocks to win this game against the Missouri Tigers on Saturday. Off four straight victories, the Gamecocks come into this Saturday red hot. Last week, against the Texas A&M Aggies, special teams and the run game helped them secure the victory. Looking at Missouri, they have looked very inconsistent this year. The Tigers average just 208.8 passing yards per game which ranks them 175th in the country. Dating back to last season, SC comes in with an 8-2 record in their last 10 home games. I expect them to continue their hot streak in this one, with their fans behind them. T.M. Prediction: 31-21 South Carolina. | |||||||
10-29-22 | Illinois -7.5 v. Nebraska | 26-9 | Win | 100 | 16 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Illinois I like the Illinois Fighting Illini to win this game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday. Illinois comes into this Big Ten matchup with a dominant 6-1 record. The Fighting Illini have now won 5 straight games, with some of them being against tough opponents (Wisconsin, Iowa & Minnesota.) Now, they'll go up against a Nebraska team that has already fired their coach this year. The Cornhuskers have been up and done all year and come in off a loss against Purdue last week. Give me the better team in this one. T.M. Prediction: 36-14 Illinois. | |||||||
10-29-22 | Notre Dame +3 v. Syracuse | 41-24 | Win | 100 | 114 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Notre Dame I like the Notre Dame Fighting Irish to win this game against the Syracuse Orange on Saturday. The Irish haven't had the start that they were hoping for, but that doesn't mean that they aren't still a very talented team. ND lost their starting QB in Tyler Buchner in week 2. Drew Pyne has stepped in for him and has actually played some very solid football. The 5'11" youngster from New Cannon, CT, has thrown 12 TDs and just 3 INTs. Their running game hasn't been bad whatsoever either. Esteem, Diggs and Tyree have all caused some problems for their opponents. Now, Syracuse is coming off their first loss of the year against Clemson, and won't have the same confidence that they had earlier this season. I expect the Irish to upset the Orange on Saturday in a big game on ABC. T.M. Prediction: 24-19 ND. | |||||||
10-27-22 | Ravens v. Bucs +1.5 | Top | 27-22 | Loss | -108 | 75 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Tampa. I like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win this game against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday. Off back to back losses to the Panthers and Falcons, Tom Brady must be furious. The GOAT has now fallen to 3-4 after un-retiring this offseason. Now the Bucs may not be as complete as last seasons team, as they are battling with injuries all over the field, but they are still good enough to win many ball games. The Ravens come into this TNF matchup with a 4-3 record. Baltimore has been up and down all season long and could win or lose any game this year. After a win this season so far, the Ravens have lost each time. Lamar Jackson has been solid, but he has turned the ball over 6 times already while Brady has only had 1 INT. I expect the best player to ever play the game to find a way to win on Thursday Night in a "must-win" game with a game against the defending champs next week. T.M. Prediction: 31-20 Buccaneers. | |||||||
10-24-22 | Bears +9 v. Patriots | Top | 33-14 | Win | 100 | 176 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Bears I like the Chicago Bears to cover the spread in this game against the New England Patriots on Monday. Last week, the Bears were inches away from winning their TNF game against the Commanders. They were stopped twice on the goaline in that game and most definitely should have won. Although they now are just 2-4 on the year, they still have one of the league's best rushing attacks. They average 170.8 rushing yards per game, with Justin Fields, Davis Montgomery and Khalil Herbert. The Patriots went off last week against the Browns in a big upset. Although they have won back to back games quite easily, they are not a team that will put up fireworks every single week. This Bears defense should be strong enough, especially on Monday Night with everyone watching, to keep this game close. I wouldn't even be surprised if they pulled of the win. T.M. Prediction: 19-16 Patriots. | |||||||
10-23-22 | Lions +6.5 v. Cowboys | 6-24 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Detroit Lions I like the Detroit Lions to win this game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Fresh off their loss against the Eagles, the Cowboys bring back QB Dak Prescott for this game. Although people might see that as a boost, don't forget they only put up three points against the Bucs in week 1 with Dak. The Lions are due. They've got an excellent core of young talent who are ready to take on this challenge against Dallas. Somehow, considering they are 1-4, Detroit is ranked 3rd in the entire league in ppg with 28.0. I fully expect the Lions to give it all they have once again on Sunday and shock America's team. T.M. Prediction: 29-23 Lions | |||||||
10-22-22 | Boston College v. Wake Forest -20 | 15-43 | Win | 100 | 46 h 42 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Wake Forest I like the Wake Forest Demon Deacons to win this game against the Boston College Eagles on Saturday. Fresh off their dominant win against Army last weekend, the Demon Deacons find themselves back with the 13th national ranking. Their offense has been amazing ever since Sam Hartman came back from injury. Hartman has thrown 16 touchdown passes with just 2 INTs in 5 games this season. Looking at Boston College, they were held to just 3 points last week against Clemson. This season, they only are averaging 69.5 rushing yards per game. That is miserable. They are also only converting 30.6% of the time on third down this season. This should be an absolute blowout, especially with the Demon Deacons at home. T.M. Prediction: 44-10 Wake. | |||||||
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 | |||||||
10-21-22 | Tulsa -13 v. Temple | 27-16 | Loss | -110 | 51 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tulsa I like the Tulsa Golden Hurricane to win this game against the Temple Owls on Friday. Both teams come into this game with a 2-4 record. Neither team is looking too great to be honest. For Tulsa, they did win a tough game against Northern Illinois this season, and barely lost against Ole Miss, a team which is still undefeated. Looking at Temple, they absolutely got destroyed last week against UCF. I don't expect them to rebound here on Friday against a Tulsa team that is very capable of turning their season around. T.M. Prediction: 37-10 Tulsa. | |||||||
10-20-22 | Saints v. Cardinals -1.5 | Top | 34-42 | Win | 100 | 28 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Arizona Cardinals I like the Arizona Cardinals to win this game against the New Orleans Saints on Thursday. Both of these two teams have been a disappointment so far this season. Although the Cards have struggled, they have some good news coming into this week. DeAndre Hopkins, one of the best Wide Receivers in the entire league, will play his first game of the season on Thursday. He has been QB Kyler Murray's favorite target ever since Murray was drafted. They will also have WR Robbie Anderson play his first game for the team, who just got traded to them from the Panthers. Looking at the Saints, they have really struggled on the defensive side of the ball. NO has given up 26.3 ppg, which is 29th in the NFL. Andy Dalton will get the start at QB once again, and he hasn't really provided them with anything special. Alvin Kamara should have a solid game, as he is the superstar for the team, but I expect this Cardinals defense to be a bit difficult for the Saints offense in this one. T.M. Prediction: 31-23 Cards. | |||||||
10-16-22 | Cowboys v. Eagles -5 | Top | 17-26 | Win | 100 | 165 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Eagles I like the Philadelphia Eagles to win this game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Dallas just finds a way to keep winning with Cooper Rush. However, I am not a Cooper Rush fan and I expect this very talented Eagles team to hand him his first career NFL loss. Philly comes into this game perfect themselves, which makes them the last remaining undefeated team in the NFL. QB Jalen Hurts has been magnificent as this offense is firing on all cylinders. Defense has also been a huge part in the Eagles success. Led by Darius Slay, the secondary has allowed only 189.4 passing yards per game on them. Looking at Dallas, they are more of a run/checkdown team with Rush behind center. Rush only had 10 completions last week, and they still beat the defending champs by double digits. But, this Eagles defensive line is also stacked with talent and has the ability to completely shut down the running game as well. I expect a low scoring first half, with the Eagles pulling away in the 2nd as they look to keep their perfect record alive. T.M. Prediction: 29-13 Eagles. | |||||||
10-16-22 | Bengals -2.5 v. Saints | 30-26 | Win | 100 | 13 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bengals I like the Cincinnati Bengals to win this game against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Off last weeks loss against the Ravens, the Bengals are now just 2-3 on the new year. They've been solid defensively, but Cincinnati has been trying to figure out ways to get their star receivers open all year. Don't forget, this team was a play away from winning the Super Bowl last season. The Saints come into this game with the same 2-3 record. Off a huge win against the Seahawks last week, the Saints are still giving up 25.6 ppg. I expect the Bengals to finally show that AFC Champion clabber offense on Sunday. T.M. Prediction: 29-16 Bengals. | |||||||
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. | |||||||
10-15-22 | Penn State v. Michigan -7 | 17-41 | Win | 100 | 5 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Michigan Wolverines I like the Michigan Wolverines to win this game against the Penn State Nittany Lions on Saturday. Although both teams come into this game undefeated, I've been much more impressed with Michigan this season. Led by QB J.J. McCarthy and RB Blake Corum, the Wolverines have one of the best offenses in the country. They are averaging 43 ppg which is good for 7th best through 6 games. The defense has also been extremely impressive so far. They are only giving up 81.7 rushing yards per game, making them the 13th best in the nation in run defense. For Penn State, they are mainly a rushing attack offense. Although QB Sean Clifford has played well enough to give them their 5-0 record, he hasn't played against a defense like this quite yet. Considering they had problems against a 1-5 Northwestern team last week, I expect Michigan to win this game quite comfortably with their home fans behind them. T.M. Prediction: 38-17 UofM. | |||||||
10-13-22 | Washington Commanders v. Bears | 12-7 | Loss | -100 | 20 h 47 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Bears I like the Chicago Bears to win this game against the Washington Commanders on Thursday. Off last week's loss to the Minnesota Vikings, the Bears find themselves with a 2-3 record. That might seem not the greatest, but Chicago has actually played some solid football. The stats might say differently, but the Bears are running a unique offense this season that has caught some teams like the 49ers off guard. The running game with Montgomery and Fields is a pain for anybody to defend, especially as it gets later in the cold air of Chicago. The Commanders have looked like one of the worst teams in football to open up the year. Now off three straight loses, they sit at 1-4 in a division that looks very strong this season. Wentz has been miserable at times and the defense isn't helping them out much. Expect the home team to give WSH some problems here on TNF in what should be a low scoring/lots of running battle. T.M. Prediction: 21-12 Bears. | |||||||
10-09-22 | Bengals +3.5 v. Ravens | 17-19 | Win | 100 | 19 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bengals I like the Cincinnati Bengals to win this game against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night. After starting the season 0-2, the Bengals are back to .500 after their big TNF win against the Dolphins last week. Joe Burrow has found his groove and this offense sure seems to be clicking again. The special thing about this Cincinnati team is that any one of their 4 superstar talent players (Jamarr Chase, Joe Mixon, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd) could explode on any given day. Last week we saw Higgins go off. This week I expect a better game from Chase. Don't forget, last season when Jamarr played against these Ravens in Baltimore, he went for 201 yards and a touchdown. For the Ravens, they are off a tough last minute loss against the Bills, in a game where they were shut out in the 2nd half. Lamar has been good this year, but I expect the defending AFC Champs to show them who's in business on SNF. T.M. Prediction: 29-24 Bengals. | |||||||
10-09-22 | Cowboys v. Rams -4 | Top | 22-10 | Loss | -110 | 125 h 53 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Rams I like the Los Angeles Rams to win against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Off last week's very disappointing performance against the San Francisco 49ers, the defending champs will look to bounce back once again against "America's team" on Sunday. LA haven't really looked like the best team in football from a year ago so far this season, but I expect a huge performance here today. Dallas will start Cooper Rush, who surprisingly has never lost a game as a starter for the Cowboys. Having said that, this will most definitely be the toughest defense he has ever played against. Cooper Kupp, who everyone knows is one of the best WR's in football, is averaging 100+ yards per game this season on 42 catches. Stafford has been trying to give him the ball as much as possible and if he catches it, it sure is a nightmare for the opposing team. Off their loss in week 1, the Rams bounced back and beat the Falcons. Expect them to bounce back again here today. T.M. Prediction: 26-13 Rams. | |||||||
10-09-22 | Falcons +11 v. Bucs | 15-21 | Win | 100 | 12 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Falcons I like the Atlanta Falcons to cover the spread in this game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Brady knows this is a big game for the team, and himself. After the tough divorce news midway through the week, who knows what the G.O.A.T has going through his mind ahead of this week 5 game against the Falcons. He's never lost the the Falcons in his pro career, but I expect ATL to give him everything they got on Sunday. The Falcons will be without their TE Kyle Pitts, but they have been spreading the ball around a fair amount lately and haven't really given the 2nd year star that big of a role yet. Off last week's win against the Cleveland Browns, and considering they are double digit underdogs in a big divisional game, give me the Falcons to cover the spread here in this one. T.M. Prediction: 23-20 Bucs. | |||||||
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. | |||||||
10-08-22 | Western Kentucky +7 v. UTSA | 28-31 | Win | 100 | 103 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: WKU I like the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers to win this game against the UTSA Roadrunners on Saturday. WKU is off a loss against Troy last week, but that doesn't mean that they had a bad game. QB Austin Reed was stellar, as he threw for 406 yards and 3 touchdowns. Reed now has 1663 passing yards on the year with 17TDs and just 4INTs in 5 games this season. UTSA won last week, but they struggled on the offensive side of the ball a bit. Although QB Frank Harris threw for 400+ yards as well, he threw 3 INTs, and that could be costly in a game like we have this week. WKU comes into this one with a 4-1 ATS record in their last 5 games played on the road. They are also 9-3 ATS in their L12 games, dating back to last season. With both teams being in the Top 10 in the country in passing yards, this game has shootout written all over it. But I think that the WKU defense is just a tad better which should help them get a huge stop late in this game. Give me the Hilltoppers plus the points here. T.M. Prediction: 45-38 WKU. | |||||||
10-08-22 | Liberty -24.5 v. UMass | 42-24 | Loss | -110 | 100 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Liberty Flames. I like the Liberty Flames to win this game against the Massachusetts Minutemen on Saturday. Liberty is the better team in this matchup, and everybody knows it. I mean, UMASS has lost to a 2-3 Temple team 28-0, and a 3-2 Toledo team 55-10 so far this season. Other than their 1-point loss against Wake Forest, the Flames have been dominant. Last week against Old Dominion, they ran all over them with 212 total rushing yards on the day. UMASS is tied for 185th in the country in rushing defense, as they allow 176.2 rushing yards per game. Liberty is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games played against teams that are "Independent." While the Minutemen are just 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games dating back to last year. In their last meeting against each other, Liberty absolutely killed them 62-17. Expect another destruction here this Saturday, with the Flames looking hot. T.M. Prediction: 47-13 Liberty. | |||||||
10-08-22 | Buffalo -1.5 v. Bowling Green | 38-7 | Win | 100 | 112 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Buffalo Bulls I like the Buffalo Bulls to win this game against the Bowling Green Falcons on Saturday. Buffalo comes into this game off a big win against Miami (OH) last week. That makes them now 2-3 on the year, with a big game against Bowling Green this week, who is also 2-3. People were counting the Bulls out, after their 0-3 start, but QB Cole Snyder has actually been pretty solid so far this season. Bowling Green also comes in off a win, but they barely squeezed it out against a pretty bad Akron team. The Falcons have been one of the worst defensive teams in the nation so far this season as they've allowed an average of 41.6 ppg in their first 5 games. They have also given up 520.4 yards per game which ranks them 256th inn the country. In their last 8 games against each other, Buffalo has a great 6-2 ATS record. Bowling Green on the other hand, is only 3-14 SU against teams from the Mid-American Conference. With the line being low, and considering the Bulls are coming in with a lot of momentum, I expect Buffalo to win this game pretty easily on Saturday. T.M. Selection: 38-27 Buffalo. | |||||||
10-05-22 | SMU v. Central Florida -2.5 | 19-41 | Win | 100 | 25 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UCF Knights I like the Central Florida Knights to win this game against the Southern Methodist Mustangs on Wednesday. UCF comes into this game off a big win against Georgia Tech last week. They've now won two in a row, while just giving up 24 pts in those games. The Knights are now ranked 6th in the nation in rushing yards per game, which is led by their duel threat QB in John Rhys Plumlee. They should have no problem in pounding the rock again here in this one against an SMU team that ranks 192nd in the country in rushing yards allowed per game. The Mustangs are off back to back losses to Maryland and TCU, and are not looking too sharp to start this season. They've got an excellent QB in Tanner Mordecai who loves to air the ball out. The only problem is that UCF ranks 35th in the country in passing defense as well. Give me the Knights here on Wednesday Night Football at home. T.M. Prediction: 31-23 Knights. | |||||||
10-03-22 | Rams v. 49ers | 9-24 | Win | 100 | 20 h 9 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Francisco 49ers I like the San Francisco 49ers to win this game against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday. Kyle Shanahan hates losing, especially against divisional opponents. Last year, these two teams met in the NFC Championship game, a game where the Niners most certainly could have won. If safety Jaquiski Tartt doesn't drop the easiest pick of his life, the Niners very well could have been Super Bowl champs. Let's not forget. Other than that game, Shanahan owns McVay. Kyle owns a dominant 7-3 regular season record against him and the Rams and I expect that to extend to 8-3 on MNF. Last week, the Niners took home a disappointing loss on SNF against the Broncos. This week, Jimmy G has fully prepared and is ready to take on his division rival in the Rams. LA on the other hand, cruised to an easy win against the Cardinals. After how easy it was to shut down AZ, I expect the Rams to be a tad overconfident coming into this one. I also expect the 49ers to have a very flowed "SF offense" that loves their running game/tight ends. Niners take this one. T.M. Prediction: 27-21 49ers. | |||||||
10-02-22 | Cardinals +1.5 v. Panthers | 26-16 | Win | 100 | 97 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arizona Cardinals I like the Arizona Cardinals to win this game against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. Off a big loss against the Rams in week 2, the Cardinals really need a bounce back win here against Carolina. Arizona hasn't looked great in any of their first 3 games. Even in their win, they had to make a miraculous comeback against the Raiders to win in OT. This week, they find themselves against a Panthers side who just won last week. Carolina started off the season with 2 losses against the Browns and Giants, and they haven't really looked that strong either. This is the perfect opportunity for Kyler Murray to show the world that he really is worth the 230.5 mil he got this offseason. The Cards come in with an excellent 9-2 ATS record in their last 11 games played on the road. While the Panthers are just 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games at home. Give me AZ here. T.M. Prediction: 31-21 Cards. | |||||||
10-02-22 | Browns v. Falcons | 20-23 | Loss | -123 | 122 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Browns I like the Cleveland Browns to win this game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. The Browns are coming into this one, tied with the Ravens, with the lead in the AFC North Division. Other than their literal last minute collapse against the Jets, the dawg pound have looked nearly unstoppable. With the addition of Amari Cooper this offseason, this is one of the most talented rosters in the entire NFL. Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt have been excellent and the defense has also been great. Now, they find themselves against a very young Falcons team, who just barely won their first game of the year last week against the Seahawks. Don't get me wrong, Mariota has looked solid for the Falcons, but he's going to really notice a difference in defenses this week. Cleveland has absolutely owned this NFC South division in the past, as they are a perfect 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games against 'em. On the contrary, the Falcons have been horrid against the AFC North, as they are 0-8 ATS their last 8. Expect an easy win for the Browns. T.M. Prediction: 29-16 Browns | |||||||
10-01-22 | South Alabama v. UL-Lafayette +9.5 | 20-17 | Win | 100 | 121 h 12 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UL Lafayette I like the Louisiana Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns to win this game against the South Alabama Jaguars on Saturday. Fresh off a win last week against LA Tech, people are starting to jump on the USA hype train. Their only loss comes against the UCLA Bruins, a game where they probably should have won. However, they have yet to play a team like UL Lafayette. Even though the Ragin' Cajuns lost last week to Louisiana Monroe, this is a very talented group of guys that will do everything to win this game. As a team that loves to throw the ball, and throw it deep, this is the perfect matchup for them. USA has not been very strong against the pass this season as they only rank 84th in passing explosiveness against. According to PFF, the Ragin' Cajuns have been excellent in passing defense themselves. Their coverage grade ranks third best in the entire country. I expect the Jaguars to fall short here on Saturday against a ULL team that really needs a bounce back win. T.M. Prediction: 36-33 Ragin' Cajuns. | |||||||
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. | |||||||
10-01-22 | Michigan State +7.5 v. Maryland | 13-27 | Loss | -110 | 123 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Michigan State Spartans I like the Michigan State Spartans to win this game against the Maryland Terrapins on Saturday. MSU has not looked great to open the season up. After starting 2-0, they now sit at 2-2 coming into this game. This week, they'll face a Maryland team that is banged up and a bit sore after their tough loss against UofM last week. QB Taulia Tagovailoa kept them in it for a while, but once he went down with an injury, they sort of fell apart. He'll probably be ready for this week against the Spartans, but don't expect him to be fully ready as this MSU team is better than people think. Linebacker Jacoby Windmon has been stellar on defense for Michigan State as he's recorded 5.5 sacks in just 4 games. The Terps have been solid offensively this season, but their defense has been really unreliable to get stops. They rank 190th in the country in total yards against per game after last weeks game. Give me MSU here, and expect them to pull off the upset this Saturday. T.M. Prediction: 27-21 MSU | |||||||
10-01-22 | Texas State +23 v. James Madison | 13-40 | Loss | -109 | 121 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Texas State I like the Texas State Bobcats to cover the spread against the James Madison Dukes on Saturday. JMU, fresh off their big comeback win against Appalachian State, has everyone talking about them after their 3-0 start to this season. They crushed Middle Tennessee in week 1, who just beat Miami FL last week. But, I believe that they are getting way too overhyped. The Dukes rely heavy on their running game where they currently rank 29th in the country. However, last week, Texas State allowed just 39 yards on the ground on 19 attempts. If JMU tries to throw the ball, they will have problems as the Bobcats' secondary has the second best coverage grade in the country on PFF at 93.1. With a very experienced offensive line themselves, Texas State should have no problems moving the ball on the ground, as well as mixing in the passing game that they love very much. TXST is 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games dating back to the end of last season and I expect them to continue that run here on Saturday. This way too many points considering the two teams. Give me TXST. T.M. Prediction: 27-23 JMU. | |||||||
10-01-22 | Purdue v. Minnesota -11 | 20-10 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Golden Gophers I like the Minnesota Golden Gophers to win this game against the Purdue Boilermakers on Saturday. Off yet another blowout win last week against the MSU Spartans, the Golden Gophers are looking like the team to beat in the Big Ten West. They now rank 5th in the country in total yards per game (545.8,) and 4th in the country in rushing yards per game (294.5.) Not to mention, they are the on of the best defensive teams in the country as well as they've only allowed 204.2 total yards per game through their first 4 games that ranks them 2nd. RB Mohamed Ibrahim is the guy to keep an eye on in this one as he could go wild. Looking at Purdue, they are off a very tight win against a weak Florida Atlantic opponent last week. With losses against Syracuse and Penn State already this season, I expect MINN to have no problem on Saturday morning. Give me the Golden Gophers. T.M. Prediction: 41-10 MINN. | |||||||
09-26-22 | Cowboys v. Giants | Top | 23-16 | Loss | -125 | 20 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: NY Giants I like the New York Giants to win this game against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday. Surprisingly, the Giants come into this game with a perfect 2-0 record through two games. Sequin Barkley, who many thought was done making big plays, is back and looks better than ever this season In the first two games, he's 236 rushing yards, 46 receiving yards, and a touchdown. Now the Giants may not have the best team in the world, but they are playing with the mentality to win, and that goes a long way. Dallas, who will be without their QB Dak Prescott for the second straight week, is off a very shocking upset against the defending AFC Champs last week. The Bengals just looked like they couldn't find anything in the loss. But, Dallas might also be without TE Dalton Schultz, who has been a key to their success recently. Expect the Giants to come away with the win here, especially at home in Primetime! T.M. Prediction: 20-16 Giants | |||||||
09-25-22 | 49ers v. Broncos +2 | 10-11 | Win | 100 | 19 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Denver Broncos I like the Denver Broncos to win this game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night. Jimmy G is back as the starter for the Niners. Although he may be better suited for this offense to make a run this season, I fully expect Russell Wilson to show out in Primetime here tonight. Week 1 was a bit of a disappointment for Russ and the Broncos. He's known for his excellence in Primetime games and he just didn't have it against his old team. But with a win under his belt, and another chance against an old division rival of his, I expect him to cook here in this one. The Niners are only 2-8 ATS in their last ten games played in week 3. SF is also just 2-6 in their last eight games played against teams from the AFC West. Give me the Denver Broncos on SNF. Broncos Country, let's ride! T.M. Prediction: 23-17 Broncos. | |||||||
09-25-22 | Rams -3.5 v. Cardinals | Top | 20-12 | Win | 100 | 74 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Los Angeles Rams I like the Los Angeles Rams to win this game against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. The Rams come into this game off a huge week 2 victory against the Falcons. Starting a season 0-2 is a not something that any team wants to do, especially the defending champs. LA looked a lot more comfortable in their offense last week as well. Matt Stafford, with the new addition of Allen Robinson this past offseason, passed for 272 yards and 3 TDs last week. It helps that he has two reliable running backs as well. Don't forget about the Super Bowl MVP in Cooper Krupp, who can absolutely torch defenses on a daily basis. Looking at the Cardinals, they barely escape last weeks game after coming from behind late against the Raiders. Although they ended up on the winning side of that game, they did not look consistent and there are many things that this Rams defense will be able to capitalize on in this one. They'll score a bit, but expect 2021's champs to pull away late and win by double digits here. T.M. Prediction: 34-22 Rams | |||||||
09-25-22 | Bills -5.5 v. Dolphins | 19-21 | Loss | -110 | 119 h 17 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Buffalo Bills I like the Buffalo Bills to win this game against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. People seem to be doubting the Bills here in this matchup. With Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa off the game of his life in the 21 point come from behind win against the Ravens, everyone seems to be jumping on the Dolphins bandwagon. Let's not forget that these Bills were the favorites to win the Super Bowl at the beginning of the year. Let's also not forget that Buffalo just destroyed Tennessee on MNF, and killed the defending champs in week 1 on TNF. QB Josh Allen has looked very strong, like everyone expected. The way he handles pressure and is able to scramble like a powerhouse running back if he needs to is just mind blowing. Now the Bills will be without Safety Micah Hyde for the rest of the season, but they've still got plenty of talent on that defense. Expect the Bills offense to just be too much for the Dolphins to keep up with, and the defense to be able to contain Tua a lot better than the Ravens did last week. T.M. Prediction: 37-17 Bills. | |||||||
09-25-22 | Eagles v. Washington Commanders +6.5 | 24-8 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington Commanders I like the Washington Commanders to win this game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. After last weeks blowout win against the Vikings, everyone is thinking that the Eagles are one of the teams to beat in the NFC. Now that may be true, but the Commanders have looked sharp this season and I'm expecting a really close game this weekend. Carson Wentz, in his return to Philly, will look to show the Eagles how good he's become. So far this season, Wentz has thrown for 650 yards and 7TDs in just two games. Although Philly doesn't give up the deep bomb too often, WSH likes to throw to their RBs a lot and run slants and crossers all over you. Expect a very tight one here with the Commanders potentially even pulling off the upset in the end. T.M. Prediction: 28-27 Eagles. | |||||||
09-24-22 | USC v. Oregon State +7 | 17-14 | Win | 100 | 82 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oregon State Beavers I like the Oregon State Beavers to win this game against the USC Trojans on Saturday. Everyone has been jumping on the bandwagon of USC to start the year. With new Head Coach Lincoln Reilly, with his two superstars in QB Caleb Williams and WR Jordan Addison, what is there not to like. Well, this Oregon State team is no joke either. Also coming into this matchup 3-0, the Beavers just tore Boise St apart in week 1, beat a tough Fresno St team on the road, and blew out Montana State last week. They now rank 12th in the nation in points per game with 45.7. Now, I wouldn't be shocked if USC wins by a field goal here, but the Beavers at home are playing with ridiculous confidence right now so do not expect the Trojans to pull away here in this one. I expect an Oregon State upset! Grab the points and sit back, relax and watch a fantastic game. T.M. Prediction: 41-38 Oregon State. | |||||||
09-24-22 | Charlotte +23 v. South Carolina | 20-56 | Loss | -110 | 80 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Charlotte 49ers I like the Charlotte 49ers to win this game against the South Carolina Gamecocks on Saturday. Off a big loss against UGA last weekend, the Gamecocks now sit at 1-2 with the 7th best record in the SEC East. QB Spencer Rattler was supposed to be "the guy" coming into his college career at OU, but times have changed and his college career has definitely not been incredible like everyone thought. So far this season he's only got 721 passing yards, 2TDs and 5INTs (in three games.) They've hardly been able to run the ball either this year. None of their rushers have over 100 yards and they sit tied for 241st in the nation in rush yards per game. Looking at the 49ers, they have better stats in almost every offensive category. Averaging almost 290 passing yard a game, Charlotte definitely won't have problems keeping up with SC in this one. Last week, Charlotte pulled off a big upset against Georgia St. Don't be surprised if they pull off another one here against the Gamecocks. T.M. Prediction: 37-28 South Carolina | |||||||
09-24-22 | Georgia Tech v. Central Florida -20 | Top | 10-27 | Loss | -110 | 76 h 56 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UCF Knights. I like the Central Florida Knights to win this game against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Saturday. Although they had a tough defeat against Louisville in week 2, the Knights have looked very sharp here to open the season. They've got the 10th ranked offence in the country in terms of ypg (541.7) and the 9th best in terms of rushing yards per game (273.) Not to mention they've got one of the best passing defences in the nation as well as they rank 12th in passing ypg. QB John Rhys Plumlee is a bad man. He's already got 778 passing yards, with 304 rushing yards in 3 games. On the other hand, Georgia Tech hasn't looked all that impressive this year. Off a 42-0 blowout loss against Ole Miss, the Yellow Jackets now have one of the worst offences. Their defence is almost as bad. QB Jeff Sims only has 425 passing yards with 1TD and 2INTs on the year. In the Yellow Jackets' last six games, they've failed to cover the spread in each of them. GT is also 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games played against teams from the AAC. I'm expecting an absolute beatdown on ESPNU here on Saturday. Go Knights! T.M. Prediction: 41-10 UCF. | |||||||
09-23-22 | Boise State v. UTEP +16 | 10-27 | Win | 100 | 34 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UTEP Miners I like the UTEP Miners to cover the spread against the Boise St Broncos on Friday. UTEP comes into this game off a loss, where they had as many first downs as their opponent. Although their record doesn't look the greatest, the Miners have been competitive in every game this season other than maybe the OU game where they actually had 3 more first downs than the Sooners. Boise St has been solid this year, but they haven't really been able to blow any team out yet. They struggled a bit last week to put up points against a very weak Tennessee Martin team. Looking at this matchup, Boise State has the better team overall, but I expect UTEP to keep it close as their fans should give them a little bit more fight and confidence. T.M. Prediction: 23-16 Boise St. | |||||||
09-22-22 | Steelers +5 v. Browns | Top | 17-29 | Loss | -115 | 32 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Steelers I like the Pittsburgh Steelers to win this game against the Cleveland Browns on Thursday. Although they played a Patriots team that makes games ugly in order to win, Pittsburgh did not look so good in week 2. Najee Harris needs to be better. He was a top pick in fantasy football this season and has been a disappointment so far. QB Mitch Trubisky should be playing with fire as well as he needs to play his best in order to not get benched. Looking at Cleveland, they are off a heartbreaking loss against the Jets, in a game where they were comfortably ahead with little time remaining. Giving up two TD's and an onside kick in a span of 1 min and 7 seconds is a recipe for disaster for any team. Especially when it costs you the game. I'm expecting the Browns to be a little bit cautious in this game. That will come back to haunt them as this Steelers defense will be all over Jacoby Brissett here on Thursday Night. Steelers upset incoming. T.M. Prediction: 21-20 Steelers | |||||||
09-19-22 | Vikings v. Eagles -2 | Top | 7-24 | Win | 100 | 12 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Eagles. We have a couple of 1-0 teams going head-to-head here, but I don't think you can underestimate how important the home field advantage will be in this case. The Vikes beat the Packers 23-7, and Justin Jefferson had a career-high 184 receiving yards and two TD catches. Simply put, I don't expect lightning to "strike twice" here. Winning at home is one thing, but doing the same thing on the road in this difficult venue is something that Minnesota will have to prove to me. Kirk Cousins was sharp, he had 277 passing yards. The defense looked good, but I think the unit takes a step back here facing AJ Brown and the Eagles. Brown had 155 receiving yards in last week's win. All four of Philly's TD's came on the groudn last week. Jalen Hurts rused for one. He had 90 yards on 17 carries, and he also threw for 243 yards. They held Goff to just 205 passing yards. I think Cousins will have difficulty moving the ball as well. Look for Philadelphia to pull away for the comfortable ATS cover and win on Monday night! T.M. Prediction: 28-21 Philly. | |||||||
09-18-22 | Bengals +2.5 v. Cowboys | Top | 17-20 | Loss | -110 | 164 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bengals I like the Cincinnati Bengals to win this game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Joe Burrow was making every Bengals fan pull their hair out in Week 1. I don't think I've ever seen him play that bad and yet, he set them up to win the game not only once, but twice. They would have won last week if they didn't get their PAT blocked to send it to OT, and if their long snapper didn't mess up the snap. But, week 1 is done, and the defending AFC Champs are not going to want to start 0-2 whatsoever. Tee Higgins got knocked out of the game last week with an injury, and most likely will miss this game as well, but that just makes Jamarr Chase and Tyler Boyd hungrier to get yardage. Dallas, who played in the Sunday Night game in week 1, struggled against the run. Leonard Fournette ran wild on them and they were unable to contain the Bucs. The one good thing for them was their 3rd down, and red zone defense. If it wasn't either of those situations, the Bucs were picking them apart. With Joe Burrow off a season where they were a play away from winning the Super Bowl, I just don't see him playing badly in back to back games to start 2022. Expect Who Dey nation to rise to the occasion in Dallas on Sunday. T.M. Prediction: 31-21 Bengals *EDIT: With Prescott now ruled out, the line has climbed considerably. This is still a play on the Bengals up until -7. (I now expect them to win by even more than 10.) | |||||||
09-18-22 | Patriots v. Steelers +1 | 17-14 | Loss | -110 | 144 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Steelers I like the Pittsburgh Steelers to win this game against the New England Patriots on Sunday. In week 1, the Steelers looked like they had the best defense in the league. Forcing Joe Burrow to 4 INTs, and sacking him 7 times in the win. Although their offense wasn't extremely impressive, it didn't look bad by any means. Deontae Johnson made an incredible catch, which got the entire team hyped up. They'll need some more from RB Najee Harris in this one as well. For the Patriots, they didn't look good at all. They were held to just 7 points against Miami, and Mac Jones just didn't look all that good. I believe that Pittsburgh is just the better, stronger and more physical team here in this one and should have no problem in coming home with the win. Give me the Steelers. T.M. Prediction: 27-21 Steelers | |||||||
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. | |||||||
09-17-22 | Nevada +23.5 v. Iowa | 0-27 | Loss | -110 | 102 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Nevada Wolfpack I like the Nevada Wolfpack to cover the spread against the Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday. Iowa's offense is terrible. No one can deny it. In their first two games, they've only been able to put up 14 points on the board. QB Spencer Petras has been the laughing stock of social media this past week and I expect him to struggle again in this one. Their supposed to be "superstar tight end" in Sam LaPorta, has been held to only 64 receiving yards in their first two games. Looking at Nevada, although they had a disappointing loss last time out, they still have a 2-1 start to this 2022 season. They've been able to run the ball extremely well, led by RB Toa Taua, who's proven to be a force against any defense. In what should be a pretty competitive game, I'm not even sure that the Iowa Hawkeyes can put up 24 points. Give me the underdogs, in what could be an upset win. T.M. Prediction: 17-7 Iowa | |||||||
09-17-22 | Colorado State v. Washington State -16 | 7-38 | Win | 100 | 125 h 46 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington State Cougars I like the Washington State Cougars to win this game against the Colorado State Rams on Saturday. WSU upset Wisconsin last week in a very competitive game. They now sit at 2-0, and could be a sleeper team this season. CSU, on the other hand, has lost both of their first two games, getting killed in both. The Cougars, in their win last week, played some stellar defense. While almost getting doubled in possession time, they were able to keep the Wisconsin Badgers to only 14 points. Looking at last weeks game for the Rams, they were absolutely miserable in the first half. CSU was held scoreless until half way through the third quarter. The Rams haven't been able to stop the run either this season so far. In a game where one offense is pretty dreadful, and one defense is tough, physical and dominant, I expect Colorado State to have troubles finding any points in this one. Giving them 9 in my prediction is even generous. T.M. Prediction: 34-9 WSU | |||||||
09-17-22 | BYU +4 v. Oregon | 20-41 | Loss | -110 | 124 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: BYU Cougars I like the BYU Cougars to win this game against the Oregon Ducks on Saturday. BYU looked solid in last week's double OT win against the Baylor Bears. They are now 2-0 in what looks to be a team that can compete with the best. The only thin that is slowing them down so far, is special teams. They had two chances to put the game away against Baylor and both times the kicker blew it. This week, I expect him to have his confidence back though as the QB Jaren Hall, went straight to him after the win and hugged him for a very long time. That shows incredible leadership from a QB that not too many people had heard of before that game. WR Chase Roberts is also a guy to look out for on Saturday. He absolutely torched that Bears secondary and made some incredible grabs. For Oregon, they are off a win against Eastern Washington, but they looked awful in their week one game against the defending champs in Georgia. I expect this BYU team to be jumping all over the weaknesses of the Ducks here on Saturday. BYU wins this one in a close battle that comes down to who makes the least amount of mistakes. T.M. Prediction: 27-21 BYU | |||||||
09-17-22 | Penn State v. Auburn +3.5 | 41-12 | Loss | -110 | 124 h 37 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Auburn Tigers I like the Auburn Tigers to win this game against the Penn State Nittany Lions on Saturday. Both of these two teams come into this highly anticipated matchup with 2-0 records. This Saturday, the Auburn stadium will be covered in Orange as they welcome the Nittany Lions to their house. The Tigers will rely on RB Tank Bigsby, as he's been a dominant force ever since he joined them in 2020. He's got 3TDs already and I expect another one here in this one. Now for Penn State, they're lucky to be 2-0. In week one, Purdue was the much better side. I'll take the SEC team at home against the Big Ten any day of the week, especially in an Orange out. Expect the crowd to be a huge factor in this one. Give me Auburn. T.M. PredictionL 24-16 Tigers. | |||||||
09-17-22 | Georgia -24 v. South Carolina | 48-7 | Win | 100 | 120 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Georgia Bulldogs I like the Georgia Bulldogs to win this game against the South Carolina Gamecocks on Saturday. Georgia has looked pretty much unbeatable to start the year. After the week one crushing on Oregon, and the week 2 shutout on Samford, the defending champs will take on the South Carolina Gamecocks in this one. Spencer Rattler, the hype of last year's preseason, has shown that he isn't what everyone thought he was going to be. He lost his job half way through the season, then decided to transfer. Now, he's on a Gamecocks team that has already lost to Arkansas this year by double digits. The Bulldogs have one of the best teams in the nation once again this season, and QB Stetson Bennett is continuing to show what he is capable of doing under the spotlight. Bennett has a big name WR in Kenny McIntosh, who has looked incredible this season already. If they can put up points, which shouldn't be a problem, the defense will give them another stellar performance against a QB that will fold under pressure. I expect Georgia to come out hot, and dominate the Gamecocks on Saturday morning. Give me UGA. T.M. Prediction: 38-7 Bulldogs. | |||||||
09-12-22 | Broncos -6 v. Seahawks | Top | 16-17 | Loss | -110 | 151 h 23 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Denver Broncos I like the Denver Broncos to win this game against the Seattle Seahawks on Monday. This offseason, superstar QB Russell Wilson was traded in a blockbuster deal. That deal happened to be between these exact two teams, and they are set to meet in week 1 on Monday Night Football. Although Wilson and his new team will have to head to Seattle and the 12th man, he should have no problem in dealing with the crowd. He will have wideouts Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton to throw to this season, and finally has an excellent backfield to rely on. Looking at Seattle, they will have to start Geno Smith, who has not been great as the start for them. This is a Seahawk team that is in full rebuild mode and wanted a change. I expect them to try and establish the running game, and throw lots of checkdowns against this Broncos defense that is getting pretty scary. With a QB that's finally happy with his new team, give me the Broncos in a blowout in MNF. Broncos Country, Let's Ride! T.M. Prediction: 31-13 Broncos | |||||||
09-11-22 | Packers v. Vikings | Top | 7-23 | Loss | -123 | 123 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Green Bay Packers I like the Green Bay Packers to win this game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. With the loss of superstar WR in Davante Adams, everyone seems to be doubting the Packers this season. People think that the Vikings have a chance to win the division even. Although that loss will hurt, there are some young guns willing to sacrifice and step into the spotlight here this season. Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson, 2 rookies from this past draft, will most likely have a lot on their plate this year. Doubs has looked excellent in preseason though so it shouldn't be a problem for him. Also, the RB duo of AJ Dillon and Aaron Jones is back, in what is one of the best backfield duos in the entire league. Looking at the Vikings, they have some young talent in Justin Jefferson, Dalvin Cook and Lewis Cine, that's for sure. But the rest of their roster is getting pretty "long in the tooth" one might say. QB Kirk Cousins is now 34, FS Harrison Smith is 33 and WR Adam Thielen is now 32. I expect the younger guys of Green Bay to be running circles around this Vikings team in this one. Don't forget, Aaron Rodgers hardly ever loses to divisional opponents in the openings weeks of the season. Especially after getting embarrassed 38-3 in week 1 last season to the Saints, the Packers should be hungrier than ever to pick up the win in this one. T.M. Prediction: 23-16 Packers | |||||||
09-11-22 | Browns v. Panthers -1 | 26-24 | Loss | -125 | 119 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Panthers I like the Carolina Panthers to win this game against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. All eyes will be on Panthers QB Baker Mayfield during this game. In his return back to Cleveland, the former heisman trophy winner and #1 pick will most definitely want to make a statement. He know's that he is a strong QB, he just hadn't quite gotten back to the incredibleness from college yet. Here at Carolina, he has all the weapons in the world. Starting at RB, Christian McCaffrey is back and ready to have another massive season. At receiver they still have their always reliable DJ Moore, as well as speed threat in Robbie Anderson, and the addition of Laviska Shenault this offseason. On defense, the team added big time CB in Stephon Gilmore. He should be a massive addition to what is already a stacked secondary. After playing lights out in the first few weeks last year, Jaycee Horn got injured and was unable to play the rest of the season. Note that they've never lost a game when he's been on the field. Now for the Browns, with Deshaun Watson suspended, Jacoby Brissett will be the opening day starting QB. He was solid with the Colts, after Andrew Much retired, but he is in a new system now and I expect them to have a bit of getting used to the offense at the beginning of this game. They added Amari Cooper in the offseason and have a really talented group, but I expect the team with home field advantage to come away with the victory to start the year. Let's go Baker Mayfield! T.M. Prediction: 23-17 Panthers | |||||||
09-10-22 | Hawaii v. Michigan -50 | 10-56 | Loss | -115 | 103 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Michigan Wolverines I like the Michigan Wolverines to win this game against the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors on Saturday. Michigan is by far the better side in this one and I believe that they will have no problem covering this gigantic spread here in week 2. Looking at last week, the Wolverines looked incredible against Colorado State in a dominant 51-7 win. RB Blake Corum is back from last years team and he's ready to be just as good if not better than a year ago. Now Hawaii has not looked good whatsoever to start this season. They kicked off their 2022-23 campaign in week 0, by losing 63-10 to Vanderbilt. Then, the Rainbow Warriors proceeded to lose this past Saturday to Western Kentucky, 49-17. Now both of those teams are definitely not on the level that Michigan is on. This is a physical, athletic and hyped up Wolverine team that wants to get back into the College Football Playoffs after getting disappointed in last year's. Expect a complete destruction, that will leave no doubt in anyone that Hawaii is just not good. Give me Michigan. T.M. Precition: 73-10 Michigan | |||||||
09-10-22 | Northern Illinois v. Tulsa -6 | 35-38 | Loss | -105 | 102 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tulsa Golden Hurricane I like the Tulsa Golden Hurricane to win this game against the Northern Illinois Huskies on Saturday. Week 1 didn't go Tulsa's way. They played some excellent football, but they ended up losing in double overtime due to a missed field goal to tie the game. Other than the special teams, the Golden Hurricane look like they'll definitely win a lot of ball games this season. QB Davis Brin passed for 460 yards, and 3TDs on 32/50 passing. Their running game was not strong, but with three receivers ending up over 100 yards, this team will be hard to stop. Northern Illinois saw Eastern Illinois in the opening week. Although they won, like they should have, it wasn't as comfortable as they would have liked that's for sure. As 35 point favorites, they ended up winning by only a touchdown. Former MSU QB and now starter for the Huskies, Rocky Lombardi, was solid as he threw for 192 yards, and a touchdown. Some people based everything they see, including records, into their week 2 strategy, but that is not the case at all. Tulsa is the much better team here and I believe that they should be at least double digits favorites here on Saturday. Give me the Golden Hurricane, to win big! T.M. Prediction: 41-23 Tulsa | |||||||
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. | |||||||
09-10-22 | Wake Forest v. Vanderbilt +9 | 45-25 | Loss | -110 | 122 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vanderbilt Commodores I like the Vanderbilt Commodores to win this game against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons on Saturday. With week 1 fully behind us now, here are when things start to get interesting. Vanderbilt, who played in week 0 as well as last week, start the season with a 2-0 record. Now that may seem shocking to some people, as they were just 2-10 last year, but I'm here to tell you today that this team is legit. The Commodores have combined for 105 points in their first 5 games and need to put some more up here against Wake Forest. QB Mike Wright has been dominant to open the year as well, having thrown 391 yards, 6TDs with no turnovers. Not to mention he's also ran for 247 yards and has 4 TDs on the ground. Looking at the Demon Deacons, they looked very strong in their opener as well. Although they are a strong team, Wake Forest is only 1-4 in their last five meetings against teams in the SEC. They are also only 4-8 ATS in their last 12 games played on the road on a Saturday. Now, I know that star QB Sam Hartman is back for Wake, but he will be a bit rusty to open this one against a hyped up Vandy team that is really excited about their team this year. Expect the Commodores to turn some heads and shock the world with an upset here at home. T.M. Prediction: 31-27 Vandy. | |||||||
09-09-22 | Boise State -16.5 v. New Mexico | 31-14 | Win | 100 | 29 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boise State I like the Boise State Broncos to win this game against the New Mexico Lobos on Friday night. Boise State is off a game where they just played badly. It wasn't the best matchup for them to open up the year, but I saw some really good stuff that they could take away from that game and utilize that in this one here on Friday. In the first game of conference play for both of these teams, I expect the preseason rankings to show what a difference there is between these teams. Boise had the second best odds to win the Mountain West, while the Lobos had the worst odds. The Broncos have two QBs, that can beat you in any way. I expect the Boise offense to cruise this week, and the defense to absolutely shut down this weak New Mexico offense. Take the favorite in this one and expect a blowout just like the last time these two met (37-0 BSU.) T.M. Prediction: 41-10 Broncos | |||||||
09-03-22 | Bethune-Cookman v. Miami-FL -48.5 | 13-70 | Win | 100 | 30 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Miami Florida I like the Miami FL Hurricanes to win this game against the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats on Saturday. This game has blowout written all over it. Miami FL is about to very a very strong football team this season, while no one has even heard of Bethune-Cookman, unless you live in the town they are based out of. The reason why the Hurricanes scheduled this game is to get an easy game out of the way first, before having to go up against the tough competition starting in week three against Texas A&M. Now, -48.5 is a lot of points. But, I firmly believe that QB Tyler Van Dyke and this Miami FL offense will have no problem in running up the score here today. It's about positives for them. A 30 point win against this team is not going to look as good as a 50-60 point win at the end of the season when the playoff committee is looking at every detail. Dating back to last season, the Wildcats are 0-10 in their last 10 games. Miami, on the other hand, have won 5 of their last 6 games against quality opponents. In their last meeting against each other, Miami won 63-0. I expect a similar outcome in this one. T.M. Prediction: 66-3 Miami FL | |||||||
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 | |||||||
01-30-22 | 49ers +3.5 v. Rams | 17-20 | Win | 100 | 79 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Francisco 49ers. I like the San Francisco 49ers to cover the spread against the LA Rams in this game on Sunday. The 49ers have been a very resilient group in these playoffs so far. They came in as a Wild Card team and dominated the Cowboys in the Wild Card game, then they went into Green bay and took out the number 1 seed with a banged up QB playing in very cold and bothersome weather but still came out with a win when they the only time they had a lead in that game was when they kicked the winning field goal. I think the 49ers fought very hard at the end of the season just to get here and they continued their gritty play in their 2 playoff games too. I think they have the momentum on their side and will continue to play well making it very tough on the opposing team to beat them. Their defense has looked great lately and I think they are going to be a key factor in this game. The Rams have also looked a lot better on offense lately but they haven't really played teams that were surging into the playoffs. Their 1st win in these playoffs was against the Cardinals who went 1-5 in their final 6 games of the season and then they kicked out a Buccaneers team that was losing steam fast as they were nearing the finish line, struggling to beat the Jets in their last game of the regular season and then missing a lot of offensive weapons too making it hard to compete with what the Rams had. The Rams defense has the pieces there to perform well too but time and time again during the season we saw them underperform and even in the last round of the playoffs they had a huge lead and somehow let the Bucs make a comeback and tie it 27-27 which never should have happened. I think the 49ers have been through a lot and will be very tough to stop here with that great defense backing them up playing the way they are at the moment. The 49ers were also 2-0 vs the Rams this year and they are 6-0 against them over the past 3 seasons. The 49ers clearly have the Rams number and nothing they see should be new to them from playing in the same division and seeing them twice a year. The 49ers are 1 team that McVay just can't beat and I think they have a good chance to pull off another upset over the Rams here. I like the 49ers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 23-20 49ers. | |||||||
01-30-22 | Bengals +7 v. Chiefs | 27-24 | Win | 102 | 75 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bengals. I like the Cincinnati Bengals to cover the spread against the Kansas City Chiefs in this game on Sunday. The Bengals have looked really good with Joe Burrow leading the way for them, they have won their 1st playoff game in 30+ years and they got their 1st ever road playoff win when they knocked out the number 1 seed last week. I think the Bengals have a lot of momentum on their side and the pressure is off of them since the Chiefs are the more established team that has been here many times before over the last few years. The Bengals have the right mindset ahead of this game too, they are not getting cocky or looking ahead to the Super Bowl but in their eyes they still have a lot of work to put in and I think that mentality is going to help them on this big stage. Joe Burrow has won a National Championship in college so he is no stranger to the big stage either and I think he is going to have his competitive drive really come out here to try and take down Patrick Mahomes and the big bad Chiefs. He has already shown that he can beat them since he did beat them earlier in the regular season 34-31 and they were even losing by 11 points at halftime but their defense stepped up in that game and held the Chiefs to 3 points in that 2nd half so they could complete their comeback. The Bengals have already done it once this year and I know they can pull off the upset again over the Chiefs. They may not do it again here but I definitely don't think they are going to get blown out in this game and I expect them to keep this game close the whole time and give themselves a chance to take it. I like the Bengals to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 37-34 Chiefs. | |||||||

T.M. Selection: San Francisco 49ers. I like the San Francisco 49ers to cover the spread against the Green Bay Packers in this game on Saturday. The 49ers have really looked good in their games lately and are rolling hot as they enter this game. They have won 3 games in a row and have taken down the Rams and the Cowboys in their 2 most recent games. They have already shown their resilience when their back's against the wall, coming back from a 17 point deficit in their final game of the regular season to beat the Rams just so they could get in the playoffs. Then in their last game they had a very strong start and jumped out to a big lead in the 1st half, holding it for the rest of the game and going on to win that game too, winning both as underdogs. They have a lot of weapons on their offense and Garoppolo has looked great lately. I think he is going to move their offense well here and I expect their defense to get after Rodgers in this game too. Their defense has looked really good lately and I think they can do enough to slow Rodgers and the Packers offense down here. The Packers will be rested here but I think they will get off to a slower start here and I think the 49ers can capitalize on that opportunity. The 49ers played a very physical game against the Cowboys and I don't think the Packers will be ready right off the bat for what they are going to be in for with the 49ers here. I expect the 49ers to be physical all game and beat up on the Packers slowing the game down and making them more tired. They may not be able to get the best of the Packers here but I think they can do enough to keep this game close and cover the spread. I like the 49ers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 49ers. | |||||||
01-22-22 | Bengals +3.5 v. Titans | 19-16 | Win | 100 | 100 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bengals. I like the Cincinnati Bengals to cover the spread against the Tennessee Titans in this game on Saturday. I think the Bengals have a great chance at pulling off the upset here in Tennessee. The Bengals didn't get to rest in the 1st round like the Titans did but they have remained in their groove with a nice win over the Raiders to send them home and they were pretty dominant in that game. The score seems close but they were leading the entire game and Burrow looked great leading his offense down the field. Burrow, along with his team, broke the long playoff win drought for the franchise and I expect them to carry that momentum into this game. The Bengals finished their regular season with a loss to the Browns in a game they didn't really try in since it was the final game of the season but their 2 games before that were wins over the Ravens and Chiefs and they put up 30+ points in both of those games. I think the Titans have a good offense but I don't think they are going to be able to keep up with the Bengals here if they start having a great day through the air. The Bengals already have a great RB in Joe Mixon that can get them big runs when they need them and help relieve the pressure off of Burrow. I think Burrow is going to have a lot of time in the pocket to make good decisions and accurate throws and I'm expecting them to come with a fierce hunger for another playoff win after last week's game. The Titans are rested for this game with all of the pieces they have coming back from injury, it might actually go against them having not played the last week. I think the Bengals will be able to get off to a faster start and I expect them to bury the Titans early here, leaving them to play catch up the entire game. I like the Bengals to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 30-27 Bengals. | |||||||
01-17-22 | Cardinals +4 v. Rams | Top | 11-34 | Loss | -109 | 151 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Arizona Cardinals. I like the Arizona Cardinals to cover the spread against the LA Rams in this game on Monday. The Cardinals were stumbling to the finish line in the 2nd half of the season, they managed to rip a win off the Cowboys 2 weeks ago but they still lost 4 of their 5 final games to the regular season. I think the Cardinals were just trying to make it to this game in the 2nd half of the season, they had lost a lot of players to injury and were playing with a lot of backups in their games in the 2nd half of the year. I think the Cardinals will have a lot of their players coming back for this game and that will help them out significantly. They should be getting Edmunds and Moore back and that will be a big boost to their offense which they will need here. They have already seen the Rams twice this year and blew them out in 1 game in LA but then lost a close game 30-23 in their last meeting in Arizona. The Cardinals have actually been better on the road this year and they finished as the best road team in the league this year, losing just 1 game in 9 on the road. The Rams have struggled at home this year losing 3 of their 8 games there, including their game against the Cardinals earlier in the year. The Rams had won 5 games in a row before losing their final game of the regular season to the 49ers. The Rams offense was putting up a lot of points in those games but Stafford was not playing well himself and he was turning the ball over a lot in those games. Stafford has been averaging 2 interceptions thrown per game over their final 4 games of the season and I think he is going to get himself into trouble in this game. The Cardinals have a good defense and their strength is in their pass rush and pass defense. McVay loves to throw the ball and go for the big plays but Stafford has not looked good and has not been accurate in some games this year and I think he will get into trouble under all that pressure from the Cardinals defense. Kyler Murray has looked good all year for the Cardinals and their offense even looked alright under Colt McCoy. They should be getting some weapons back here and I think Murray will be able to move the ball well and put up points on the Rams in this game. The Cardinals will be able to keep up on offense with the Rams but I think their defense is better and is going to cause some turnovers in this game which will be the deciding factor. Even if the Cardinals don't win here, their defense will keep this game close enough. I like the Cardinals to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 30-27 Cardinals. | |||||||
01-16-22 | Steelers v. Chiefs -12.5 | 21-42 | Win | 100 | 8 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection : Kansas City Chiefs I like the Kansas City Chiefs to cover the spread against the Pittsburgh Steelers in this game on Sunday. Pittsburgh has only won 4 of their last 9 and are extremely lucky to even be here. It took a miracle in the Jags beating the Colts week 18 when they were +15.5! Of course I had the Jags in that one. Leading up to this game, 39 year old vet, Big Ben Roethlisberger said to the media these exact words, "We are going to the #1 team that's won the AFC the last two years, arguably the best team in football, we don't have a chance." I know he's just trying to get in peoples head, but that definitely is not what you want to hear from your starting QB in a tight game at Arrowhead. The Chiefs come into this game red hot. Now 9-1 since the start of November. KC is also 6-1 in their last 7 games played against AFC opponents. We all know what KC QB Patrick Mahomes is capable of doing, and I fully expect a complete blowout tonight. Therefore, I like the Chiefs to cover easily here. T.M. Prediction: 21-3 (Half) --> 38-17 (Final) | |||||||
01-16-22 | 49ers +3.5 v. Cowboys | 23-17 | Win | 100 | 123 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Francisco 49ers. I like the San Francisco 49ers to cover the spread against the Dallas Cowboys in this game on Sunday. The 49ers really stepped up and showed a lot of resilience this year. They had their back against the wall and were devastated by injuries all year, missing a lot of key starters on their offense and defense all year, but they stood strong and won 4 of their 5 final games of the regular season to finish with 10 wins and make it to this game. They finished off their season with a big OT win over the Rams when they had to win to get in. They were even losing that game 17-0 right before halftime and made a comeback to win it. Jimmy G looked a lot better in that game as long as he can stay healthy, they have a very dangerous offense under him. They also have a very good defense and their defense really stepped up in that game holding the Rams to just 7 points in the 2nd half. I think the 49ers are hot right now and the Cowboys have looked shaky in their games lately. They finished their regular season off with a big 51-26 win over the Eagles but the Eagles had already clinched and were resting a lot of players in that game. Before that game against the Eagles, the Cowboys had lost 3 games in a row against teams that have made the playoffs this year, the Cardinals, Raiders, and Chiefs. The Cowboys have only won 2/6 games played against teams in the playoffs this year. They won 5 of their previous 6 games to finish the season but 4 of those wins were against teams with either a losing record or didn't make the playoffs. I think the Cowboys have had a very weak schedule to finish the year and are not really as good as some of their scored suggest they are. The 49ers have played tougher teams in their final games and have still won 4/5 to finish the year. I think the 49ers defense will stunt the Cowboys here and I like Jimmy G to have a big day with this offense. I like the 49ers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 26-23 49ers. | |||||||
01-15-22 | Raiders v. Bengals -5.5 | 19-26 | Win | 100 | 99 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bengals. I like the Cincinnati Bengals to cover the spread against the Las Vegas Raiders in this game on Saturday. I expect the Bengals to be much healthier for this game. They lost their final game of the regular season but they were resting a lot of players on both offense and defense in that game so I expect those players to be ready for this game. The Bengals looked good near the end of the season, finishing their year off strong with a 20 point win over the Ravens and a 3 point win over the Chiefs after being down by 11 points at halftime in that game. That game against the Chiefs was the last game that they had all of their starters in there and they looked really good. Their offense moved the ball well in that game, Mixon was tough to stop, Chase was impossible to cover, and Burrow led his offense down the field putting up 34 points. Their defense also clamped down in the 2nd half and only let the Chiefs put up 3 points in that half, allowing the Bengals to make their comeback and win. The Raiders got to this game in the craziest fashion with a win or go home scenario on Sunday night against the Chargers that almost tied and would have sent them both to the playoffs. Instead, The Raiders win by 3 points in OT and barely hang on in that game after leading 29-14 late in the 2nd half of that game. The Raiders defense collapsed near the end of that game but that is not the 1st time this year that we have seen them blow a big lead in the 2nd half of a game. The Bengals were able to pull that comeback off against the Chiefs and the raiders don't have a defense as good as the Chiefs do. I think the Raiders defense is going to fold in this game and will not have an answer for Burrow and Chase slinging it down the field. The Raiders have had so much happen to them off the field this year, it is a great story that they even made the playoffs at all with what they have gone through but I think it is the end of the road for Carr and the Raiders here. I think the Bengals have way more talent on their team and I expect them to come out and make a statement in this playoff game at home. I like the Bengals to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-17 Bengals. | |||||||
01-09-22 | Panthers v. Bucs -8 | 17-41 | Win | 100 | 51 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to cover the spread against the Carolina Panthers in this game on Sunday. The Buccaneers have already clinched the playoffs but they are still playing for seeding. If they win in this game then they have a chance to get home advantage for their 1st 2 games of the playoffs since the 1st round bye is off the table already. The Bucs have not looked their best in their games lately with a loss in their previous 3 games where they were shut out and then a win against the Jets in their most recent game, a game where they didn't have the lead at all until they scored the winning TD in the last minute of the game. I don't think Tom Brady deems this kind of play acceptable with the playoffs right around the corner and I expect him to get himself and the entire team back on track with a great performance and a big win in this game to finish the regular season off right. The Panthers have been terrible lately, they have lost 6 games in a row and they are nowhere near solving their issues at QB. They have scored 10 points or less in their previous 2 games and they have put up 14 points or less in 4 of their previous 5 games. They also played the Bucs at home about 2 weeks ago and they got destroyed 32-6 in that game, and the Bucs have not been great on the road this year. They will play much better at home here and they need a good game to make up for almost losing to the Jets last week. I think that the Buccaneers are going to try hard for that win here, especially when they have been a much better team at home this year, if they have a chance to win the 2nd seed and get some home advantage for their 1st 2 playoff games then they will do what they can to get that. I think this game is going to be even worse than their last meeting, I like the Buccaneers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 35-3 Buccaneers. | |||||||
01-09-22 | Colts v. Jaguars +15.5 | 11-26 | Win | 100 | 47 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Jacksonville Jaguars. I like the Jacksonville Jaguars to cover the spread against the Indianapolis Colts in this game on Sunday. The Jaguars have looked bad in a lot of games this year but they have also had their moments where they haven't looked that bad. I think they will try hard in this game to finish their year off strong and try to get a win here. The Colts just lost their most recent game and Carson Wentz looked terrible in that game. They lost that game by 3 points and they still need a win to get into the playoffs. The Jaguars have been terrible all year so I think the Colts will get their win here but I expect that they won't take the Jaguars as seriously in this game and they might even start to rest some players if they feel they have secured the win. Carson Wentz has also looked very bad in their games lately, not just their most recent game but their previous 3 games his play has started to decline and I think that could catch up to him in this game against a team they might not take seriously. The Jaguars looked really good in their last meeting with the Colts only losing that game by a TD and that game was in Indianapolis too. The Jaguars play much better at home, they don't have a single win on the road this year, and considering how well they played on the road last time, I expect them to play the Colts even better in this game at home. I like the Jaguars to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 24-16 Colts. | |||||||
01-09-22 | Titans v. Texans +11 | Top | 28-25 | Win | 100 | 127 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Houston Texans. I like the Houston Texans to cover the spread against the Tennessee Titans in this game on Sunday. The Texans have looked a lot better in their games lately as their year is coming to an end. They have won 2 of their previous 3 games and they even beat the LA Chargers in 1 of those games who have a good chance of going to the playoffs this year. Davis Mills has looked much better in these final few games for them and he has been able to move the ball well and score some points too. He played very well in that game against the Chargers as his team put up 41 points in that game and he didn't even throw an interception. The Texans have nothing left to play for as they have already been eliminated from making the playoffs but they still have a lot to play for here in regards to next year. Davis Mills wants to prove that he can be a starting QB in this league so I expect him to play well here and try to earn himself a spot on the team next year, or any team that really wants him as a starter. The Titans have already clinched their division this year so they really have no need to win this game except for the number 1 seed in the AFC. I think the Titans are going to rest some of their starting players in this game though so they don't risk any injuries going into the playoffs. They have already lost their star RB Derrick Henry this year but they are getting him back for the playoffs supposedly so it would be in their best interest to rest their starters in this game and keep everyone as healthy as can be for the games that really matter. The Titans will still be trying to win this game but I don't think they will try to win by a lot here with this being the last regular season game and even if they do acquire a big lead in this game I think they will pull a lot of their players and leave the backdoor open for a cover in the worst possible scenario for the Texans. The Texans already beat the Titans earlier in the year and that game was in Tennessee so I expect them to play much better at home here and put up a good fight to try and win again. I like the Texans to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 21-17 Titans. | |||||||
01-03-22 | Browns v. Steelers -1 | 14-26 | Win | 100 | 14 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Steelers. I like the Pittsburgh Steelers to cover the spread against the Cleveland Browns in this game on Monday. The Steelers have had a very up and down year, they are 7-7-1 at the moment and they have been finding ways to win games all year even though they have not looked the greatest in a lot of those games. As up and down as they have been all year, they still managed to beat the Browns in Cleveland in their 1st meeting and I think they can do the same here in this game now that they are the home team. The Steelers still have a chance to make it to the playoffs if they can win out the rest of the year then they give themselves a great chance because they have 1 tie this year and if there are any 9-8 teams at the end of the year, the Steelers will be ahead of them and get that playoff spot because of their 9-7-1 record at that point. They will still have to rely on some other teams to lose since there are a few that can get to 10 wins still but their battle starts with winning their final 2 games. The Browns have come close to winning lately, losing their 2 most recent games by 2 points in both of them. Baker Mayfield has been dealing with a lot of injuries though and he is out there every week with a harness on as it is the only way he can play with his shoulder intact. I think the injuries have just been too much for the Browns to overcome this year and what started out as a promising year for them was derailed by those key injuries and some losses of players to covid in key games. I think the Steelers have the momentum coming into this game and they have more motivation to win here with a better chance to make the playoffs than the Browns. I like the Steelers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 20-16 Steelers. | |||||||
01-02-22 | Vikings v. Packers -13 | 10-37 | Win | 100 | 17 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Green Bay Packers. I like the Green Bay Packers to cover the spread against the Minnesota Vikings in this game on Sunday. The Packers have won 4 games in a row but they haven't looked their best in their 2 most recent games as those 2 games were very close and they could've lost either 1. I think the Packers are going to step up here and get a big win after B2B scares the last 2 weeks. The Packers are in the driver seat right now, they have total control of their own fate and can clinch the best seed in the NFC if they win out the rest of their season. Their last loss also came against the Vikings in Minnesota just over a month ago so this is a big revenge spot for the Packers and I think they are going to want to come out and bury them early to ensure they get the win this time. Kirk Cousins will also likely be missing this game with covid and the Vikings are currently dealing with that going around their team. The Packers should have been able to destroy the Vikings with them at full strength but now it should be a lot easier. I think the Vikings are going to struggle to score on the Packers here and the packers have a lot of extra motivation to win this game. The Vikings have not put up more than 24 points in their previous 2 games and that was with Cousins playing. I think they are going to have a hard time scoring at all in this game so I like the Packers to cover the spread here with a huge performance on Sunday night and make a statement. T.M. Prediction: 35-6 Packers. | |||||||
01-02-22 | Lions +7.5 v. Seahawks | Top | 29-51 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Detroit Lions. I like the Detroit Lions to cover the spread against the Seattle Seahawks in this game on Sunday. The Lions have started to look a lot better in their games lately and I think that they are going to come to play another good game here. They have 2 wins in their previous 4 games but they have come really close in a lot of games all year and their record could be very different if a few different things went their way instead. They lost their most recent game to the Falcons by 4 points but they were missing a lot of players in that game. They will be getting some of their players back here but their QB will likely be Tim Boyle in this game. Boyle didn't look terrible in their previous game and they had a chance to beat the Falcons that entire game. The Seahawks have not been any better this year with a losing record and a very bad defense. The Seahawks have lost 2 games in a row and their offense just hasn't looked good as they have struggled to score points all year. The Seahawks also have 1 of the worst defenses in the league and they give up a lot of yards to opposing teams so I think Tim Boyle will be able to move the ball on them with ease now that he has played some games as a starter too. I think the Lions are going to try and finish their year strong and get a few wins to build on for next year. The Seahawks haven't been great this year and I think the Lions have the heart to keep this a close game. I like the Lions to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 24-20 Seahawks. | |||||||
01-02-22 | Broncos v. Chargers -7.5 | 13-34 | Win | 100 | 13 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Chargers. I like the LA Chargers to cover the spread against the Denver Broncos in this game on Sunday. The Chargers are 1 of those 8-7 teams that are still fighting for a playoff spot and with a lot of teams very close in the standings with their records, this game is very important to the Chargers. The Chargers have lost 2 games in a row now after winning 2 in a row and I think it is time for them to bounce back here. They were embarrassed in their most recent game when they went to Houston and lost to the Texans 41-29. The Chargers were missing a lot of players in that game but that was a really bad loss that shouldn't have happened and I think they will be hungry to blow out the Broncos here after having to sit on that loss for a week. The Chargers will be getting some key offensive players back for this game which should help them score easier and put up more points on the Broncos here. The Broncos have lost 2 games in a row but they haven't looked good in any games lately. Their offense hasn't scored 14+ points in 3 of their previous 4 games. Their defense has still looked good but they will have a tough time stopping this Chargers offense that has been getting healthier and they will likely be on the field a lot as the Broncos offense has looked bad in those same games. I think this is a game that the Chargers are going to make a statement in after last week and the Broncos have a weak offense that will not be able to keep up with their current QB situation. I like the Chargers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-10 Chargers. | |||||||
01-02-22 | Raiders +8.5 v. Colts | 23-20 | Win | 100 | 10 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Las Vegas Raiders. I like the Las Vegas Raiders to cover the spread against the Indianapolis Colts in this game on Sunday. The Raiders have looked a lot better in their games lately with 2 wins in a row now and their defense has been holding up well in those games. The Raiders haven't given up 15+ points in their 2 most recent games and I expect their defense to continue playing well in this game too. The Raiders are still fighting for a playoff spot and they need a win in this game to give themselves the best chance of making it in to a Wild Card spot. The Colts have won 3 games in a row but they didn't look that great in their most recent game against the Cardinals. They made a lot of mistakes in that game but still came out with the win thanks to Taylor. I think the Raiders are going to be able to slow down Taylor in this game and force Wentz to throw the ball more. Wentz did not look great in their previous game and if he is forced to throw the ball more he will make some bad decisions. The spread is a lot here and I think the Raiders can keep this a close game. I like the Raiders to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 21-16 Colts. | |||||||
12-30-21 | Pittsburgh +3 v. Michigan State | 21-31 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh. I like Pittsburgh to cover the spread against Michigan State in this game on Thursday. Pittsburgh had a great year this year leading the ACC with their record and they even went on to win the conference with a blowout win against Wake Forest in the title game. They have won 5 games in a row and 4 of those wins were by 10+ points. Their offense has looked great all year and they have put up 30+ points in 6 games in a row. Their QB Kenny Pickett has declared for the NFL draft and won't be playing in this game but I still think that their offense will be able to move the ball with all of the talent they have in the run game and receiving. Michigan State also had a great year but they didn't have the year they were hoping for. They had high hopes for the playoffs but they stumbled in their last few games and failed to make it, even falling short of the Big 10 title game too. Michigan State is also going to be missing a few players on the offense for this game and I think that is going to be a problem for them since their offense was not that strong all year. Michigan State had a great defense all year and that's what they were known for but their defense has not looked good in their games lately and I think Pittsburgh will be able to score a lot of points on them here. They have given up 20+ points in 5 games in a row but 3 of those games they gave up 30+ points in and they even allowed 40+ points in 2 of those games. I think Pittsburgh is still going to be able to move the ball and score here and I think Michigan State is going to struggle to score points and stop Pittsburgh on defense here. I like Pittsburgh to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 30-23 Pittsburgh. | |||||||
12-30-21 | Purdue v. Tennessee -6.5 | 48-45 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tennessee. I like Tennessee to cover the spread against Purdue in this game on Thursday. Tennessee has won 2 games in a row to finish their regular season and they looked really good in those games. They put up 45+ points on offense in both of those games while giving up no more than 21 points in either game. Tennessee didn't have the best season that they were hoping for but they showed some flashes of what they can do this year with Josh Heupel and they were definitely trending in the right direction this year compared to some of the other years they have had. I think that Tennessee is going to play hard in this game to end their year off right with a nice win and lay some more blocks to build off of next year in the program. Purdue has also won 2 games in a row and have won 4 of their previous 5 games, knocking off some good teams during that time like Michigan State. Purdue will be missing a few of their starters in this game for various reasons and I think that is going to have a big impact on the way they play in this game. They are going to be missing their star WR David Bell since he has declared for the 2022 NFL draft along with a few others of their key players on both offense and defense. I think that Tennessee should have an easier time scoring on this weakened defense but their offense has looked really good anyway so I'm expecting them to score a lot of points here. I also think that Purdue is not going to be as good on offense as they have been all year with their missing players and Tennessee has a decent defense so I expect them to get a lot of stops here. I like Tennessee to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 42-20 Tennessee. | |||||||
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. | |||||||
12-27-21 | Dolphins -2.5 v. Saints | 20-3 | Win | 100 | 37 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Miami Dolphins. I like the Miami Dolphins to cover the spread against the New Orleans Saints in this game on Monday. The Dolphins are 1 of the hottest teams in the league by far. They started their year 1-7 but they have won 6 games in a row to get back to an even record and put themselves in the conversation for the playoffs. I like them to continue their hot streak here and win another game knowing that their last 2 games of the year are against some very tough opposing teams like the Titans and the Patriots so I think the Dolphins will want to take advantage and win this game here. Their offense has looked good in their games lately putting up 20+ points in 5 games in a row and they even put up 30+ points in 2 of their previous 3 games. Their offense has been good but their defense has been the real stars for them. In their last 6 games in a row, they haven't given up more than 10 points in 4 of those games and their defense has been really stout in those games. The Saints have won 2 games in a row and they just had a big win against the Buccaneers in their most recent game where they shut out Tom Brady and his offense with a 9-0 win. I think that was the game that the Saints players were really preparing for and I expect them to have a bit of a let down game here after that great performance. The Saints still have a bad QB situation going on and I think that the Dolphins are just a better team at the moment with the current active players. The Dolphins have been riding this momentum all year since they started their win streak and I think it is going to continue into this game. I like the Dolphins to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 23-10 Dolphins. | |||||||

T.M. Selection: Denver Broncos. I like the Denver Broncos to cover the spread against the Las Vegas Raiders in this game on Sunday. The Broncos have been a very up and down team this year with their wins and losses. They lost their most recent game against the Bengals 15-10 but Teddy Bridgewater was injured in that game so they had to scramble together a game plan for their backup QB the rest of that game. Now they have some time to prepare Drew Lock for this game and he has had some experience in the NFL as a starter, especially against these Raiders. He played the Raiders 2 times last year and lost both games but I think this is his chance for redemption. They lost their 1st game against the Raiders badly last year but their 2nd game against them at home was still a loss but Lock played much better putting up 31 points in that game including a 90+ yard pass to Jerry Jeudy. Lock is not terrible as a starting QB, he is 8-10 in his career which isn't great but it's also a lot better than a lot of the other backup QB's records in this league. He is really 8-9 too because 1 of those losses he is credited with was a game he started but left the 1st quarter injured when it was still 0-0. The Broncos still have a lot of good pieces at RB and WR and they also have a great defense that will be able to support Lock here. I think with the pieces in place, Lock has a very good chance at succeeding in this game and finally getting that win against the Raiders he's been looking for. The Raiders have also been very up and down this year and they are the type of team where you never really know which team is going to show up for them in each game. They have had to battle a lot of challenges and distractions off the field between coaches and players and that has really put a dent in their year. The Raiders will also be missing a few of their key players on the offense here and I think that the Broncos will be able to stop them with their defense. Both teams are going to be desperate here as their playoff hopes are on the line but the Broncos will not only just be playing desperate for the win, their QB will be desperate to play well and show he can be a starter in this league. I think the players on the Broncos have a lot of different reasons to be motivated to win this game and i like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 24-20 Broncos. | |||||||
12-26-21 | Bucs -9.5 v. Panthers | 32-6 | Win | 100 | 6 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to cover the spread against the Carolina Panthers in this game on Sunday. The Buccaneers had won 4 games in a row and they were really starting to heat up until they hit a bump in the road last week with a very bad 9-0 loss to the Saints. That was the 1st time in many years that Tom Brady was completely shut out in a game and he was visibly upset about it on the sideline as he smashed 1 of their tablets that he was using. Brady has a competitive fire in him that is still burning strong at his age and this is not the type of loss that he is just going to forget about and move on to the next game. That was a loss that is going to linger with him until he proves he is not that guy and I think he is going to have a big game here just to make up for the way they played in that last game. Their offense had scored 30+ points in 4 games in a row before getting shut out by the Saints. The Panthers have not been having a great year and they have lost 4 games in a row now. They started the year 3-0 but they have slipped to last place in their division and their year is pretty much over now. They have had to deal with injuries to their QB and their star RB McCaffrey and the hill has become too steep to climb for them. The Buccaneers are looking to wrap this division up and they can do that with a win here. I think because they scored 0 points in their previous game that Brady is going to overcompensate now and put up a ton of points here. The Panthers have been struggling to win games with Cam Newton and their current QB situation and I expect that to continue here. I like the Buccaneers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 45-13 Buccaneers. |
