12-05-23 | Indiana +7.5 v. Michigan | 78-75 | Win | 100 | 12 h 43 m | Show | |
The Indiana Hoosiers have a Big 10 conference showdown with the Michigan Wolverines. Indiana went 2-0 against Michigan last season. The Hoosiers come into this game winners of three straight. They opened conference play with a win over Maryland and have covered in two of their last three games. Indiana is putting up 73.6 points and allowing 68.4 points a game. The Hoosiers have allowed less than 70 points in four of their seven. The Michigan Wolverines come into this game having lost four straight games. The Wolverines have covered the spread in just one of the last five games. The Wolverines are putting up 82 points and are allowing 76.5 points a game. They have given up 73 points or more in seven of eight games. These teams are heading in opposite directions at the moment. The Hoosiers are the better defensive team and should be able to slow down the ochigan scorers. Each of the Hoosiers' last five wins have been by eight or more points. I look for the Hoosiers to control this game with their defense and inside game on offense. Play on Indiana. This is a 4% play. | |||||||
12-03-23 | Dolphins -9 v. Commanders | 45-15 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
Both teams come into this game well-rested, This game will come down to the big-play abilities of the Miami Dolphins offense against a Washington defense that allows too many big plays. On the defensive side, Miami has a very good pass rush that should be able to get pressure on Howell and force some bad throws. The Dolphins are 7-4 against the spread this season and the the Commanders are 5-6-1 and as a home underdog are 0-1-1. I am looking for the Dolphins to get enough big plays on both sides of the ball to cover the number. Play on Miami. This is a 3% play. | |||||||
12-03-23 | Chargers -4.5 v. Patriots | 6-0 | Win | 100 | 8 h 26 m | Show | |
Neither side can give you a lot of confidence as the Patriots are just a bad team and the Chargers have been known to give games away this season. I will be taking the better quarterback with better weapons. Herbert is a known commodity with better offensive weapons, while with Zappe you are not sure what you are going to get. The Chargers have scored at least 20 points in eight of their 11 games this year. The Patriots have nothing to play for but a quarterback in the next draft and the best way to ensure you get a good one i by losing. I like the Chargers to cover this one and hold on at the end, Play on LA Chargers. This is a 3% play. | |||||||
12-03-23 | Lions -4 v. Saints | 33-28 | Win | 100 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |
New Orleans did not look good last week against the Atlanata Falcons ad they were only able to kick five field goals. The Saints suffered key injuries to their recieving Corps and coould struggle in this game in the passing attack. The Lions did not play good game against the Packers, turning the ball over three times. Detroit will try to establish their running game against a defense that gave up over 200 yards rushing last week. The Lions defense need to step up as they have not played well the last few weeks.. Detroit has covered the spread in five of its last six road games. I am on the Lions to win and cover in this one. Play on Detroit. This is a 3% play. | |||||||
12-02-23 | Michigan -21.5 v. Iowa | 26-0 | Win | 100 | 8 h 59 m | Show | |
The Big Ten Championship Game, I feel will be anticlimactic with the undefeated Michigan Wolverines taking on the underwhelming Iowa Hawkeyes. Despite all the drama around the team, I feel you will see total domination from the Wolverines against the Hawkeyes. Michigan is 12-0 on the year but just 6-5-1ATS. The defense has been outstanding this season allowing 10.3 points a game. Iowa has to be the most underwhelming, ugliest offense on a ten-win team ever. Iowa was also 6-5-1. Iowa got it done all season with their defense, which was ranked fourth in the country with 12.2 points allowed per game. These teams faced off in the 2021 Big Ten Championship Game with Michigan coming out on top 42-3. Iowa relies on their running game and I don’t see them doing much against the Michigan defense. Their QB completes less than 50 percent of his passes, so I am not sure where points are coming from. Play on Michigan. This is a 4% play. | |||||||
12-02-23 | Georgia v. Alabama +5.5 | 24-27 | Win | 100 | 30 h 28 m | Show | |
The two best teams in the SEC will meet up once again in the SEC Championship with the Georgia Bulldogs and the Alabama Crimson Tide. Alabama has beaten Georgia in each of their three meetings in Atlanta. Georgia comes in a 29-game winning streak. Alabama comes in with an 8-4-0 ATS record and they have won 10 games in a row. Georgia Bulldogs on the other hand has struggled against the number, posting a 4-7-1 ATS record. Georgia’s offense has started to come together but their defense has not been up to the same level as in years past. I think Bama will keep this one close and cover the number. ROLL DAM TIDE!!! Play on Alabama. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

The 19th-ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys and the 7th-ranked Texas Longhorns for the Big 12 Championship on Saturday. The Cowboys are 9-3 this season and have won two in a row. The Longhorns finished up the regular season at 11-1. OSU made it to the Championship with a 40-34 win over BYU in double overtime. OSU comes in with the 26th-ranked offense in the country. They are 50th on the ground and 40th through the air. On the defensive side of the ball, the Cowboys will need to step up as they are 112th in the country in total defense. The 7th-ranked Texas Longhorns The Longhorns come with the 15th-ranked total offense. On the defensive end, Texas is 23rd in the country in total defense. They are fourth against the run but just 85th against the pass. The Longhorns are still playing for a playoff spot while the Cowboys are looking to play spoiler. Texas will be without their starting running back in Baxter while defensive backs, Watts and Jordan, questionable. Oklahoma State runs its offense through running back Gordon III but could have problems as the Longhorns are ranked fourth against the rush. OSU likes to use Gordon to run the ball and set up their short passing game. I think OSU will be able to use their short passing attack and the rushing ability to keep this one close. Play on OSU. This is a 3% play | |||||||
12-01-23 | Oregon v. Washington +10 | 31-34 | Win | 100 | 17 h 53 m | Show | |
It’s the last Pac-12 Championship from Las Vegas with No. 5 Oregon Ducks taking on No. 3 Washington Huskies. The Ducks are 11-1 this season with their only loss being to Washington. The Huskies are a perfect 12-0 but have struggled in a few games this season. Oregon has won six in a row since their loss to Washington. Oregon’s offense is ranked 2nd in both points at 45.3 points and total yards at 541.1 total yards per game both rank second in the country. On the defensive side of the ball, they allow 15.9 points which is seventh overall and the fewest in the Pac 12. Washington has struggled down the stretch and won their last two games by a total of 5 points. The Huskies put up 38 points and 468.1 total yards per game for the season, and Washington’s defense has allowed 23 points per game during the season. Pennix threw for 302 yards with four touchdowns and an interception. Nix threw 44 passes in the loss. Think Oregon should have won the first one but with saying that, I think the line is just too high, and I will be rooting for the Huskies to just keep it close enough. Play on Washington.

Thursday Night Football features a clash of playoff contenders as the Seattle Seahawks take on the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys are at the top of the NFC wildcard standings. Seattle is two games back of Dallas but does hold the last playoff spot going into this weekend. The Seattle Seahawks are clinging onto their chances to make the playoffs in the NFC. They currently have struggled as of late, having lost three of their last four games. The Seahawks rank 20th in the NFL in scoring at 20.8 points per game. On the defensive side of the ball, they are giving up 22.6 points which ranks 22nd. The Dallas Cowboys are chasing the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East. The Cowboys have won five of their last six, and three in a row. Dallas is the top-scoring team in the league, putting up leads the NFL in scoring with 31.5 points per game. On the defensive end, they are giving up 16.8 points a game which is fourth best. With both teams battling for a wildcard spot, a win in this head-to-head matchup could become very valuable in seeding or even making the playoffs. Dallas has some difficult games coming up against the Eagles, Bills and Dolphins so they can’t afford to let this one slip away. For the Seahawks, Geno Smith has started to struggle and last week's offensive performance was downright awful. In Smith’s last five games, he has thrown for just 5 touchdowns and has four interceptions. The Cowboys should be able to move the ball through the air as they have the fifth-best passing offense and is going against the 22nd-ranked passing defense. The Seahawks struggled to move the ball against the San Francisco defense and I see them struggling against a formidable Dallas defense. I will side with the better offense, defense, and the team that is more motivated to get the win. Play on Dallas. This is a 3% play | |||||||

The ACC/SEC Challenge heats up with the seventh-ranked Duke Blue Devils squaring off against the Arkansas Razorbacks. Duke comes in at 5-1 while Arkansas is 4-3. Duke has won four straight and though they are 5-1 overall, they are just 3-3 against the spread. Kyle Filipowski is putting up 18.8 points and 8 boards a game. Arkansas has had a rough start to the season and is sitting at 4-and just 1-6 against the spread. Tramon Mark puts up 18.4 points per game. Trevon Brazile adds 10.0 points and 7.9 boards. Arkansas has been very slopy with the ball and that does not bode well facing the Dukies. Duke is the much better team right now and they have four players scoring above 11.0 points per game. Arkansas has struggled to shoot the ball while Duke has been shooting well. I can’t trust the Razorbacks in this one even at home. Play on DUKE. This is a 4% play | |||||||
11-29-23 | Texas A&M +1.5 v. Virginia | 47-59 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 57 m | Show | |
The Texas A&M Aggies come into this with a 6-1 record. The Virginia Cavaliers have also gotten off to a nice start at 5-1. The Texas A&M Aggies are averaging 79.3 points a game and are shooting 43.9 percent from the field. On the defensive end, they are giving up 69.4 points and their opponents are shooting 41.2 percent from the field. Wade Taylor IV leads the team with 20 points and 3.3 rebounds a game and Henry Coleman III adds 14.2 points. The Virginia Cavaliers are putting up 65.3 points and are shooting 44.5 percent from the field. On the defensive end, they are giving up 53.8 points and their opponents are shooting 35.4 percent from the field. Reece Beekman leads the Cavs with 11.8 points while Ryan Dunn adds 10.3 points. The Virginia Cavaliers still play an elite defense and will be at home but their inefficiencies at the offensive end give me pause. I feel the Texas A&M Aggies are the more talented team and their defense is respectable. TexasA&M is coming off of a win against one of the better defenses in the country in Iowa State, so I don’t think as well as Virginia plays defense, it shouldn’t be a surprise for the Aggies. Play on Texas A&M. This is a 4% play. | |||||||

Both teams started out the season on a strong note. NC State has been the better team on the offensive end of the floor but things are different when you have to face a Chris Beard-coached team. NC State will be on the road and facing a defense that they haven’t seen this season. Play on Ole Miss on the money line. This is a 4% play. | |||||||
11-27-23 | Bears +3 v. Vikings | 12-10 | Win | 100 | 14 h 50 m | Show | |
NFC North rivals take the field Monday when the Chicago Bears take on the Minnesota Vikings. Both teams are coming off losses but with ATS wins last time out. The Vikings are putting up 23 points and 360.5 total yards per game. Joshua Dobbs has not been bad he took over for an injured Kirk Cousins. Justin Jefferson could return for this game to give the offense a boost. Minnesota’s defense is ranked 14th in the NFL, giving up 20.9 points per game. The Bears let one slip away against the Lions, losing a 12-point lead in the last four minutes. The Bears' defense is giving 26 points per game, which is fourth most in the NFL. On the offensive side, Chicago is putting up 20.9 points and averaging 323.8 total yards a game. The Vikings took the first game between the two, winning by six points as a three-point favorite. The Vikings are 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS in the last five games against the Bears. Dobbs is 2-1 with the Vikings but I don’t think he is that good. I am not a huge Fields supporter but I think he will be the difference in this one. Play on Chicago. This is a 4% play. | |||||||

The Florida State Seminoles suffered a huge blow last week, first losing their starting quarterback and then dropping to #5 in the CFP rankings. They now must fave in-state rival the Florida Gators. The Seminoles will face off against Louisville for the Championship game in the Atlantic Coast Conference next week. Tate Rodemaker will make the start for FSU. Running backs Trey Benson and Lawrance Toafili will get a lot of work in this game. Both backs average about 6 yards a carry. Benson has rushed for 743 yards on the season and 11 touchdowns. The offense is putting up 40 points a game on 452 yards. The Florida Gators are 5-6 on the season and have lost 4 games in a row. The offense is putting up 30 points a game but their defense is giving up 28. Over their last four, they have given up 42 points a game. Florida will be going with a backup quarterback also. Florida State is a fine-oiled machine even without their starting quarterback. Their offense has been impressive this season and their defense has been outstanding. I think the Seminole defense and running game will take over in this one and carry the Seminoles to the victory. Play on Florida State. This is a 4% play. | |||||||

It is “The Game” at The Big House and this year’s game has a special feeling. Michigan and Ohio State come into this game with identical 11-0, 8-0 BIG10 records, with the winner heading to the Big 10 title game and a CFP position pretty much locked up. The loser will have to wait and see what happens. Ohio State’s Kyle McCord has thrown for 2899 yards with 22 touchdowns and 4 picks.

Michigan is putting up 38 points per game on 400 yards of offense. On the defensive end, they are giving up 91 yards rushing (9th) and 145 yards (2nd) through the air and 9 points a game. Both OSU and Michigan have the number 1 and 2 pass defenses in college football. Ohio State rushes for 145.5 yards per game while allowing 108 compared to Michigan’s 171 yards per game and allowing 90.7. McCarthy has been struggling the last couple of weeks and Ohio State is very tough to run on. Ohio State has a much better passing game and I see them taking advantage in the air with Marvin Harrison Jr. Ohio State’s defense is better than it has been in the last two years. I am looking for a close game that could come down to the final possession. Take the 3.5 points with the Buckeyes.

Kentucky has not been very good as of late and they put up just 14 points against South Carolina. Louisville is 6-0 at home. The Cards are the better team on both sides of the ball.

The Miami Dolphins come into the first-ever Black Friday game with a 7-3 overall record and will have to head north to take on the NY Jets, who come into this game at 4-6 overall. The Jets will have a new face under center as they have benched Zack Wison and will give Tim Boyle a shot. New York has scored just one touchdown total in three games, so he can’t do any worse. The Dolphins are just 1-3 ATS in their last four games overall and couldn’t cover last week against a poor Raiders team. The Jet's defense is better than the Raiders' defense but how long can you continue to stand up when you are always on the field and your offense fails to move the ball time after time? You can’t blame all of the offense's problems on Wilson alone. The line is in shambles ao it has been difficult to run the ball and pass protection is nonexistent. The Dolphins did not look good against the Raisers after the bye week but I don’t think that will happen two weeks in a row, I am not sure Boyle is a huge upgrade, and with no offensive line to speak of, I don’t see a lot of success coming his way. Lay the points with the Dolphins. Play on Miami. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

Seth Henigan has thrown for 3,266 yards with 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions. On the defensive side, they are giving up 29.7 points per game. Temple has struggled on both sides of the ball. On offense, they ar putting up 21.1 points per game.EJ Warner has thrown for 2,746 yards with 21 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. On the defensive side of the ball, they are giving up 34.8 points per game. The Memphis Tigers are the better team on both sides of the ball and I expect them to dominate an overmatched Temple team. Memphis is averaging 45.4 points in their last five games while the Temple Owls are scoring 18.6 points per game. Memphis will look to make up for last week's loss and finish the season on a high note. This will not be a pretty game for Temple as Memphis rolls to a big win. Play on Memphis.

On the defensive side, they are giving up 21.8 points and 345.6 total yards per game. The Niners are 3-0 SU and ATS in the last three meetings. Last season, San Francisco won by an average of 13 points in those games. Seattle is bagged up right now with their quarterback not being 100%, Kenneth Walker is out for this game and their tackles are banged up.

Seton Hall is putting up 80.8 points a game. On the defensive end, they are giving up 59 points a game, which is 16th in the country. This should be a close game as both teams do damage in the paint. In close games guard play becomes essential and USC has an edge in the backcourt. Stan Hall does not defend the deep ball well and USC is known to shoot a lot of threes when not feeding the paint. Seton Hall lives in the paint but USC has the size and inside defense to limit the Pirates.

Hunter Dickinson is one of many weapons Kansas has in its arsenal. The Golden Eagles put up 82.3 points per game on the year, and are giving up 67 points per game. Kansas holds a 7-1 record over Marquette but the last meeting was back in 2018. Dickinson is a huge matchup problem for Marquette as they don’t have the height or depth to handle him. He should be able to dominate in the paint and when Marquette tries to help, the Jayhawks have four other guys on the floor that can take over. I like Kansas to roll in this one. Play on Kansas.

Reece Beekman adds 10.5 points and 5.8 assists. This will be the Cavaliers' toughest opponent to this point of the season. Wisconsin has been tested by Tennessee and Providence, both losses. I am not sure Wisconsin will be able to keep up with Virginia in this one. Virginia Wisconsin's offense isn’t very dynamic or explosive. Wisconsin's defense has not been as good as in the past and has given up a ton of points to Tennessee and Providence. Play on Virginia. This is a 4% play | |||||||

Memphis is 8-2 ATS in the last ten as well. SMU has the best pass defense in the conference but the Memphis quarterback has had good games against the #2 and #3 pass defenses in the conference. This is the biggest spread in the last six meetings between the two and I think it is two many points to give a team that can score like Memphis. Play on Memphis. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

The Indiana Hoosiers are putting up 70.5 points per game and on the defensive end, they are giving up 63.5 points per game. Indiana has struggled on the offensive end to start the season but should have an easier time against a defense that has allowed ninety points in each of their first two games. Indiana has been really tough on the defensive end and I look for them to slow down the Wright States offense. Take the Hoosiers at home in this one. Play on Indiana. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

Eight of those wins have covered the -1.5 goal spread. This is the second game of a back-to-back with last night's game being in Nashville. Fatigue could be a factor for the Ducks in this one.

Kansas and Kentucky meet in the Champions Classic in a Battle of Bluebloods. The Jayhawks are the #1 ranked team in the nation while Kentucky is ranked #17. Both teams are 2-0 this season. Antonio Reeves is averaging 16 points a game which leads the team. Tre Mitchell is the top rebounder with 8.5 per game. Kansas made a big splash in the portal, getting Hunter Dickerson from Michigan. Through two games, Dickinson leads the team with 19.5 points per game. He also grabs eight rebounds per game. DeJuan Harris and Elmarko Jackson are both averaging 7.5 assists per game. Dickinson should have a dominant game against Kentucky. He is one of the best big men in the country and Kentucky will struggle with Dickinson dominating. Kentucky doesn't have a lot of depth and that could play a role late in the game as Kansas loves to run the floor. Kansas' experience gives it a significant edge in this game. Kentucky is talented but young and needs to play more together. I am looking for Kansas to pull away late and win by double digits. Play on Kansas. This is a 4% play. | |||||||

Rick Pitino is back and St. John should be the better for it. in their opener, they shot 51.5% from the field and 50% from three. Michigan lost Hunter Dickinson in the transfer portal but did not miss him in the first two games and it looks like they won't miss his antics going forward with how his replacement played. The Red Storm have only played once this season and that was about a month ago while Michigan picked up a win on Friday.

Last season, Duke was 46th in offensive efficiency, 14th in total rebounds per game, and 53rd in assists per game. The Dukies did not lose too much production from last year's team. These are two very experienced and talented teams. Duke has been undefeated at home since the retirement of Coach K. Arizona doesn't really have a matchup for Kyle Filipowski and he will cause the Wildcats problems.

The Auburn Tigers open the season with a tough test against the Baylor Bears in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Auburn made it to the tourney last season but did not finish the regular season well, going 4-9 down the stretch. They have seven players that saw action last season, return for this season. They were not good at shooting from the perimeter, especially from long range. They looked to improve that area by recruiting and bringing in three-point shooting guards. Johni Broome and Jaylin Williams return to maintain the painted area. Baylor lost four starters and 68% of their scoring in the losses of Adam Flagler, Keyonte George, and LJ Cryer. They do have four seniors on the roster so they do have some experience. Baylor needs to place a ton of talent and scoring from last season. Auburn has most of their rotation back and if they fixed their long-range shooting woes they will be a tough team. With Baylor trying to work out a starting lineup- I like Auburn to get a nice early win. lay on Auburn. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

The New Orleans Pelicans head to the Mile High City to take on the Denver Nuggets. New Orleans is 4-2 this season and had a two-game win streak snapped. The Pelicans need more offensive production as they are putting up just 108.2 points a game. On the defensive end, they are giving up 111 points a game. Their offense will take a hit in this one as CJ McCollum will miss the game with a collapsed lung. Denver is 6-1 and in first place in the West. The Nuggets' offense is putting up 114.6 points a game and they are giving up 104.7 points on the defensive end. Jamal Murray is questionable for this game. Denver has not missed a beat from last season. They have been solid on both ends of the court. New Orleans has struggled offensively this season and it will be worse without CJ McCollum in the lineup. Denver is 4-3 against the spread but is 3-1 ATS as a road favorite. The Nuggets are 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS in their last six regular-season games at home. I like the Nuggets to roll in this one. Play on Denver. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

College basketball kicks off tonight with the James Madison Dukes heading to East Lansing to take on the fourth-ranked Michigan State Spartans. The Dukes finished last season with a 22-11 record out of the Sun Belt Conference. Michigan State went 21-13 last season. James Madison is facing an uphill battle this season as they lost most of their starters from last year's team, including their best two guards. They did hit the transfer portal but they may need some time to build chemistry. Looking at Kenpom, James Madison has the 129th-ranked adjusted offensive efficiency and the 151st-ranked adjusted defensive efficiency. Depth will not be a problem for the Spartans and they returned some key players from last season's team that were expected to leave. This could be Izzo's best team in a while. They returned four of their five starters from last season and added the #3-ranked recruiting class. Looking at Kenpom, the Spartans have the 17th-ranked adjusted offensive efficiency and the 10th-ranked adjusted defensive efficiency. This is a mature Michigan State team with a deep roster and a ton of experience. The Dukes are outmatched on both offense and defense. Usually, it takes some time for the Spartans to get going, but they did put up over 80 against Tennessee in an exhibition game. They have four starters returning, a great recruiting class, and a lot of depth so I am looking for them to come out strong. Play on Michigan State. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

The Pistons don’t have a lot of firepower on offense and score less than 110 points per game at home. Golden State has held three of their last five opponents under 105 points.

The Los Angeles Rams head for the Frozen Tundra to take on the Green Bay Packers. The Packers have won the last three meetings. The Rams face an uphill battle without quarterback Matthew Stafford as he is likely to miss this game with an injury. Brett Rypien will get the start and he should have Puka Nacua to throw to as he is expected to play. The Rams are putting up 21.9 points per game. Los Angeles has a capable rushing attack and ranks 16th in rushing yards and 15th in yards per carry. On the defensive side of the ball, they are allowing 23.0 points per game. Green Bay has lost four in a row and the bloom has fallen off Jordon Love's rose. The Packers have scored a total of 40 points over their last three games. The defense has allowed 60 points over their last three games but will have to play even better to make up for their offensive woes. With or without Stafford, I see this as being a close game that the Rams could still win outright. The Packers have a lot of issues at the moment, a poor offense, a defense that can't stop the run, and a depleted secondary. The Rams' defense should be able to tee off on Love as the Packers have not been able to run the ball with any consistency. I can't support Jordan Love at this point and even without Stafford I like the Rams as a live dog. Play on the LA Rams. This is a 4% play. | |||||||

On the defensive end, they are giving up 118 points a game. Portland got off to a rocky start, losing their first three games but have bounced back with two straight wins. They have not been lighting up the scoreboard, putting up just 103 points a game. On the defensive end, they are allowing 108.6 points a game. The Grizzlies are the favorites coming into this game despite not winning a game and they are also on the road.

The Nets are 4-0 against the spread but are dealing with some injuries and will be on the road. The Bulls should have an advantage in the paint with Claxton out for the Nets. LaVine and Derozan are better than what the Nets have to offer. The Bulls are also a deeper team and all those advantages will lead to a Bulls win. Play on Chicago. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

The NBA in-season tournament kicks off as the New York Knicks take on the Milwaukee Bucks. New York is 2-3 while the Bucks are 2-2. RJ Barrett leads the team in scoring with 21 points a game. He missed the last game and is questionable for tonight's game with a knee injury. The Bucks are 2-2 this season but the two losses have not been close. Giannis Antetokounmpo leads the Bucks with 24.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.2 blocks. Damian Lillard adds 21.3 points per game. RJ Barrett's injury could be a major factor in this game. He is the team's top scorer and even if he does give it a go, I expect him to be limited with his knee injury. The Bucks are loaded but it will take some time to get the chemistry built up. They rank seventh in offensive efficiency, putting up 111.7 points per 100 possessions. New York is last at 100.6. The Bucks have matchup advantages and I think they will want to have a better performance than they showed last time out. Play on Milwaukee. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

The South Alabama Jaguars take on the Troy Trojans in Sun Belt action. The Jaguars are 4-4 this season. They are coming off a loss to the Louisiana Ragin Cajuns. South Alabama could be without their starting quarterback, who was injured in thier last game. Troy comes into this game at 6-2 and has won five in a row. They are also dealing with an injury to one of their top runningbacks. South Alabama will struggle on offense as they may be missing some key players and are facing a stout Troy defense. The Trojans have won five straight games and three of their last four home games. They have scored at least 27 points in three of their last four games. The Jaguars have lost three of their last five games, but have averaged more than 30 points per game during that stretch. Troy hasn't given up more than 13 points in four straight games. The injury to South Alabama's quarterback could be the big difference in the game. I am going with the better defense and more balanced offense. Play on Troy. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

The Chicago Bulls come into this game with Dallas at 2-2 and 1-3 ATS. Dallas is a perfect 3-0 and 2-1 ATS. Dallas is putting up 125 points a game. They also lead the league in 3-pointers made, while Chicago doesn't shoot a lot of threes and struggles to make them when they do. Doncic has been outstanding this season Irving did not play in the last game and is questionable tonight but the Mavericks haven't really needed him. LaVine is questionable for the Bulls and that will definitely hurt an offense that has struggled to score to start the season. Dallas has been playing decent defense and should be able to outscore the Bulls tonight Lay the points with Dallas. This is a 3% play | |||||||

Utah has done better than expected, considering they have played the whole season without their starting quarterback. They have been getting it done with their defense and they have one of the best defenses in the country. The Utes, are allowing only 3.0 yards per rush and 78.0 rushing yards per game. Bucky Irving and Khyree Jackson participated in practice which should give the Ducks a boost. Utah is limited on the offensive side.

After one game this season, they rank second in adjusted offensive rating and eleventh in adjusted defensive rating. On the other side, the Grizzlies rank fourteenth in adjusted offensive rating and fourth in adjusted defensive rating. The Grizzlies are missing two significant players, Ja Morant and Steven Adams. The Grizzles will struggle to defend against Jokic on the defensive end and will struggle to score on the offensive end. The Grizzlies struggled to defend against the Pelicans in their first game and I look for those struggles to continue against the Nuggets.

Philadelphia finished third in the Eastern Conference last year while Milwaukee was the Eastern Conference’s best team.

The Bucks ranked 14th in scoring last season with 115.2 points scored per game and on the defensive end, they ranked third with just 110.9 points allowed per game. The Bucks made a big move in the offseason, picking up Damian Lillard for Jrue Holiday. Milwaukee’s offense ranked eighth in scoring at 116.9 points per game. On the defensive end, they gave up 113.3 points per game. They split their four-game series both straight up and against the spread last season.

Arizona is looking to keep alive in the series by sending Merrill Kelly to the mound. He is 1-1 with a 3.00 ERA and 0.92 WHIP this postseason. Philadelphia is a win away from their second straight World Series appearance. They will look to punch their ticket by sending Aaron Nola to the mound. He is 3-0 with a 0.96 ERA and 0.75 WHIP this postseason. Kelly needs to get off to a strong start and keep the Phillies off the board early to keep the crowd out of it. He has held 20 of his 30 opponents to two or fewer runs this season. Nola has been dominant in the postseason. In his three starts, he has allowed just two runs, 11 hits, and two walks. The DBacks have averaged just 2.4 runs per game to Philadelphia’s 5.4 runs per game this series.

Pittsburgh's offense has been awful this season as they are putting up the third-fewest points per game, and ranking 31st in total yards. On the defensive side, they are giving up the second most yards per game. With Cooper Kupp back in the Rams' offense they have two weapons at the receiver position and with Stafford healthy, the offense is dangerous. The Rams are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven games overall and 5-1 ATS in their previous six home contests.

The Ravens would like to get their running game going but Detroit is very good at stopping the run. The Ravens have the best pass defense in the NFL which will be put to the test against the Lions offense. David Montgomery is still out for the Lions but they shoould get Jamyr Gibbs back for this game to help in the backfield. Both teams will look to impose thier dill on the other and I am looking for a game that will come down the wire Baltimore is coming back from London. The Lions have lost only once this season, and it was by only six points to the Seahawks. Baltimore has won by only one score in two of their four victories on the year.

The Spartans are in disarray and sit at 0-3 in conference play. MSU usually plays this game tough but I just don't see it happening today. it looked like in that Rutgers loss that the Spartans have given up. Michigan has looked unstoppable on offense and Sparty doesn't have the offensive weapons to poke holes in the Michigan defense.

Ohio State has won nine of the last ten games between the two but Penn State has covered the number in seven of the ten games and has covered six of the last seven. Marvin Harrison Jr. had a huge game last season with 10 catches for over 180 yards. This will be the first big test for both quarterbacks so we could see a more conservative play calling at the beginning of the game.

FIU's quarterback Keyone Jenkins, ranks 133rd in QBR out of 128 teams. Sam Houston ranks 4th in the conference in passing defense allowing just 208.5 yards through the air.

The Eagles are 13th in points allowed and 25th in passing yards allowed. Their defensive front is outstanding and they are first in rushing yards allowed. They rank fifth in points scored, tenth in passing yards, and second in rushing yards. The New York Jets are 2-3 this season but 3-2 ATS. The Jets snapped a three-game losing streak with a win over Denver. The Jets are 24th in scoring at 18.6 points a game. On the defensive side of the ball, the Jets are yielding 21.0 points per game on 206.4 passing yards and 146.2 rushing yards. Since 1987, the Eagles have gone 9-0 SU and 8-1 ATS against the Jets. New York is 3-6 ATS in its last nine games overall and 1-4 ATS in its previous five contests against the NFC.

In a battle between the worst two teams in the NFC North the Minnesota Vikings take on the Chicago Bears. The Vikings hold a 65-56-2 overall record against the Bears and have taken the last four meetings. The Vikings like the Beas are 1-4 on the season. The Vikings are 2nd in the league in passing offense but they will be without Justin Jefferson for the next four weeks at least. They need to improve their rushing attack as they are just 29th in the league. This leads them to be 16th in scoring offense. Jordan Addison could have a big game taking over for Jefferson but is dealing with an ankle injury. Offensively the Beras have put together back-to-back high-output games but came away with just one win as their defense continues to be a problem. The Bears are tied for 18th in passing offense and 9th in rushing. They are dealing with multiple injuries to the running back position. They are 12th in the league in scoring offense but 30th in scoring defense. Both teams are 1-4 and arre dealing with injuries to important contributors. Minnesota is still talented enough on offense without Jefferson to put up points. The Bears looked like the worst team in football over the first four weeks so even though they have been better it is hard to count on them against better teams. Neither team has given you much to hang your hat on but I am still not sold on the Bears rejuvenated offense. Play on Minnesota. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

The winner of this game is in the driver's seat when it comes to playing in the Conference Championship. Both teams are 5-0 on the season while Oregon is 5-0 ATS and Washington is 3-1-1 ATS. Oregon puts up 44.3 Points a game. On the defensive side, they give up 13 points a game. The Huskies have won 12 straight going back to last season. Washington's scored at least 24 points in each of those 12 wins and have scored at least 31 points in all five of their games this year. Both offensives are explosive so it may come down to the defenses. I like Oregon's defense a little more and they have 18 sacks this season to Washington's 6. Oregon is 3-1 SU and ATS in its last four games with Washington, and the Huskies have only covered three times in their previous 18 meetings with the Ducks. Furthermore, the Ducks have gone 7-1 ATS over their last eight road games versus Washington. I’m looking for a back-and-forth game that could come down to who has the ball last. Oregon has revenge on their mind as they lost to Washington last season 37-34 and the loss probably kept them out of the playoffs. Take the better defense in this one. Play on Oregon.

They were terrible on special teams as they had the 9th worst power play and sixth-worst penalty kill. Last season, the Devils had the biggest year-over-year improvement in league history. The Devils will be playing the second game of a back-to-back They’re in the second half of a back-to-back tonight after a 4-3 win over Detroit. Last season, they averaged 3.48 goals and allowed 2.67 goals a game. The Devils have a huge advantage on both ends of the ice and on special teams. Arizona was one of the worst teams last season both offensively and defensively and I don't see them being much better this season.

The Penguins averaged 3.15 goals per game and gave up 3.18. Bedard will make Chicago better but how much he can improve the offense and defense is a big question. He will bring some excitement to the Windy City and they have other young talent but just not this year. I like the Penguins in this one and will look for better value on the puck line.

The Appalachian State Mountaineers losses have been to North Carolina and Wyoming but they have won two of their last three. Coastal Carolina ranks 101st in rush defense and the Mountaineers average 205 rushing yards per game on the ground.

Jimmy Garappolo did not play in last week's game but is ready to go in this one. I am not sure Raider fans are all that happy about it as he has not been playing well to start the season. He is averaging two interceptions a game. The Packers have been dealing with a multitude of injuries to key players but it looks like they are getting healthy and could see some of their payers returning. Jordan Love has not been great but he has been safe. He has 8 touchdowns and three interceptions this season as the Packers are asking him to manage the game and not make mistakes. Both teams have struggled to move the ball on the ground which puts more pressure on their quarterbacks. The Packers have the better team right now. The Raiders have lost three in a row and it is hard to put a lot of faith in the Raiders right now. Play on Green Bay. This is a 4% play. | |||||||

The passing game has struggled with Desmond Ridder under center, which leaves them one-dimensional and allows defenses to key in on Robinson and the running game. The Falcons could find it difficult to move the ball as Houston's defense has been solid against the run. CJ Stroud has looked really good as a rookie and should be able to find success this week against the Falcon defense. Houston Started the season with two losses but has found their footing and has won two in a row. The Atlanta Falcons are the opposite having lost two straight coming into this game. In a battle of young quarterbacks, Houston has the advantage and I like them to win this game straight up. Play on Houston. This is a 3% play | |||||||

The Lions have picked up from where they left off last season and are 3-1 on the season. The Panthers won last year at home 37-23, but that was a different Lions team. Carolina has not fared well on the road, with both losses coming by 10 points or more. With Bryce Young as the quarterback the Panthers have not scored over 20 points and I expect that to be the same today as I look for the Lions defensive front to be in Young's face all day. The Lions are putting up 26.5 points a game and will be facing a defense that allows 25.5 points a game. With Montgomery and Gibbs running the ball effectively, that opens up the passing game for St. Brown and Laporte to operate downfield. Detroit has allowed the fewest rush yards in the NFL, and with Carolina struggling on offense it could be a long day for the Panthers. I don't like laying this many points in the NFL but sometimes you just have to take what's in front of you. lay the points with the Lons. Play on Detroit. This is a 3% play | |||||||
10-08-23 | Ravens -4 v. Steelers | 10-17 | Loss | -120 | 2 h 3 m | Show | |
The Pittsburgh Steelers host the Baltimore Ravens in an AFC North battle. The Ravens lead the division at 3-1 while the Steelers come in at 2-2. Pittsburgh is struggling right now, especially on offense, Pickett seems to have taken a step back and was replaced last week after getting banged up. I wouldn't be worried about Mitchell Tribynski taking his job just yet but he can't afford too many more games like the last couple. To make matters worse, the Ravens have the third-best pass defense in the NFL. The Ravens have been getting it done on the ground with a top 5 rushing offense. Pittsburgh's defense ranks 29th in rushing yards allowed. The road team has won the last three games between the two. The last 6 games have been decided by an average of 3 points. The underdog has covered in the last 10 games but has won 8 of them. Jackson did not play in the two games last season and this season he is having a year that is close to or better than his MVP season. Pckett is listed as probable but even at 100% it is a tall order for Pittsburgh to come away with a win in this one. Play on Baltimore. This is a 3% play. | |||||||
10-07-23 | Michigan -18 v. Minnesota | 52-10 | Win | 100 | 10 h 1 m | Show | |
it is a Battle for the Little Brown Jug when the Michigan Wolverines and Minnesota Golden Gophers face off on Saturday. Michigan is 5-0 this season but just 1-3-1 ATS. They are coming off a 45-7 beatdown of Nebraska. Minnesota is 3-2 and 1-4 ATS this season. They are coming off a 35-24 win over Louisiana. 35-24 last Saturday. It was a significant bounce-back win on the heels of consecutive losses to North Carolina and Northwestern. The win snapped a two-game losing streak. Michigan is one of the top teams in the country. Even when 100% healthy, Minnesota doesn't have the talent to stay with Michigan for the whole game. It gets worse if their leading rusher can't go or is limited. Minnesota will struggle to run the ball no matter who is in the backfield as Michigan' is ranked 14th in stopping the run. Minnesota is 119th in third-down defense and 102nd in red zone scoring defense so expect Michigan to run the ball with Corum and they should be able to move the ball through the air with McCarthy as well. Michigan’s defense has not allowed any opponent into double digits yet this season, allowing 6 points per game. Michigan averaged over 30 points for the first four games and put up 45 last week. I expect them to score in the high 30's in this one. Laying less than 3 touchdowns is doing us a favor. Play on Michigan. This is a 3% play | |||||||
10-07-23 | Kentucky +15 v. Georgia | 13-51 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
The Georgia Bulldogs host the Kentucky Wildcats in a battle of undefeated teams in the SEC East. The Wildcats picked up a huge win over Florida last week and are looking to take down the top dog in the nation. Georgia has dominated this series over the years but with two of the last three games coming within two scores. The Bulldogs keep winning but have not been as dominant as in years past. Georgia will be getting a weapon on offense back as their top wide receiver returns. Over the years, this has been a lower-scoring matchup. Kentucky quarterback Leary has turned the ball over but also has big play ability. Georgia's defense has not been as dominant as they have been the last few years so I am looking for Kentucky to put some points on the board. The Wildcats have won four of their previous five games on the road against the spread going dating back to last season. Kentucky has now won four of their last five games against the spread in 2023 The Wildcats have also won four straight against the spread against Georgia. Georgia is just 1-4 ATS this season. I am looking for a close game and this is too many points. Play on Kentucky. This is a 4% play | |||||||
10-06-23 | Kansas State -11.5 v. Oklahoma State | 21-29 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
A Big 12 showdown happens in Stillwater when Kansas State takes on Oklahoma State. The Wildcats are 3-1 this season and 1-0 in conference play. They opened conference play with a 44-21, against Central Florida. The Cowboys are 2-2 on the season and 0-1 in conference play. They lost 34-27 to Iowa State last week. Historically the Cowboys lead the series 42-27 but K-State won last year 48-0. These teams have split their last six meetings. The K-State offense is explosive while Oklahoma State has had to rely on the pass to move the ball, The Cowboy defense struggled against Iowa State and that offense is nowhere near the K-State offense. OSU has lost to an Iowa State team that lost to a MAC team and was soundly beaten at home by South Alabama. OSU ranks 13th in scoring and 12th in total offense in the 14-team Big 12. The K-State defense should be able to control a one-dimensional OSU offense. Play on K-State. This is a 2% play. | |||||||
10-01-23 | Chiefs -8 v. Jets | 23-20 | Loss | -125 | 11 h 42 m | Show | |
This Chief's defense has been dominating and the Jets' offensive line has been struggling to block in both the passing game as well as the running game. Zach Wilson is not good but he is also not getting a lot of help from the offense. Trevor Lawrence is a much better quarterback than Wilson, but the Jags could only put up 9 against this defense. The Jets need to run the ball but it will be hard against a Chiefs defense that is ranked 11th against the run. Mahomes injured his ankle last week but still played most of the second half. Kelce is back and the Wide Receivers are finding their spots. This is not a game to overthink. Play on KC. This is a 4% play | |||||||
10-01-23 | Patriots v. Cowboys -5.5 | 3-38 | Win | 100 | 7 h 0 m | Show | |
The Cowboys looked dominant the first few weeks of the season and they were talking Duper Bowl in Big D and then they laid an egg against Arizona. As home favorites under Mike McCarthy, the Cowboys have posted a 6-2 ATS record. The New England Patriots are 2-4-0 ATS on the road since Brady left and are just 8-11-1 ATS overall since last season. Speed kills and the Cowboys have that advantage on both sides of the ball. I look for the Dallas defense to cause a lot of problems for Mac Jones and for the Dallas offense to get things going in both the passing and running game. Dallas puts last week behind them and picks up an easy win in this one. Play on Dallas. This is a 3% play. | |||||||
10-01-23 | Broncos v. Bears +3.5 | 31-28 | Win | 100 | 4 h 59 m | Show | |
The Denver Broncos and Chicago Bears are the worst two teams in the NFL. How bad do the Bears have to be to come in as a 3.5 point underdogs at home to a team that gave up 70 points last week? It is getting very close to make-or-break time for Justin Fields and the Bears' offense. Chicago is 31st in passing yards per game. The defense is not without their share of blame either as they are last in third-down defense and are giving up 410 yards per game. The Broncos haven’t covered in five of six, and have lost six in a row on the road going back to last season. The Bears have won four of six at home against the Broncos. You have two bad teams here and a tie would only be fitting. The Bears at home will keep this one close. Take the points and the Bears. Play on Chicago. This is a 3% play | |||||||
09-30-23 | Notre Dame v. Duke +6 | 21-14 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
Notre Dame's loss to Ohio State could have a lingering effect on this game. Notre Dame had that game won but on back-to-back plays that counted, they only had 10 men on the field. Notre Dame is 1-3-0 ATS following a loss under Freeman. Duke has a few things going for them, they have a tough defense, a veteran quarterback, and a well-balanced offense. The Blue Devils are 4-0 with a win over Clemson but have not played a lot of high-caliber opponents. I like Duke and te points in this one as I actually think they can catch ND and win this one outright. Play on Duke. This is a 3% play | |||||||
09-30-23 | Michigan -17 v. Nebraska | 45-7 | Win | 100 | 4 h 15 m | Show | |
This will be Michigan's toughest game this season, but it is still just Nebrasca. They will probably have to rely on McCarthy more due to Nebraska's stout run defense. Nebraska's defense will get tired of being on the field as I don't see the Nebraska offense doing much against the Michigan defense. Michigan has scored 30+ and has given up less than 10 points each game this season. Michigan allowed 23 total points after four games. None of those games were shutouts. Nebraska is banged up at quarterback. I like Michigan to dominate from start to finish and cover the number. Play on Michigan. This is a 4% play | |||||||
09-26-23 | Nationals v. Orioles -1.5 | 0-1 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
Baltimore is trying to win the AL East for the first time since 2014 While Washington is just playing out the season. Josiah Gray is expected to go for the Nationals. He is 8-12 this season with a 4.00 ERA and a 1.47 Whip. The Nationals rank 21st in runs scored and 12th in team batting average. Baltimore holds a 2.5-game lead over the Rays in the division. They’ve won six of their last 10 games. Kyle Bradish will start tonight's game for the Orioles. He is 11-7 with a 3.01 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. Baltimore ranks sixth overall in runs scored in team batting average. I am looking to lay the run line with the Orioles. Kyle Bradish is sixth in the league in both ERA and WHIP. Washington’s bullpen is currently 27th overall in ERA and 25th in WHIP. The Orioles are 8-1 against the Nationals since July 2021 and have won five straight. Baltimore needs to keep stacking wins and should get an easy one today. Play on Baltimore minus 1.5 runs. This is a 3% play. | |||||||
09-24-23 | Panthers v. Seahawks -4.5 | 27-37 | Win | 100 | 7 h 45 m | Show | |
The Seahawks came from behind to beat the Lions in overtime last week. Carolina will take on a Carolina team that will be without starter Bryce Young and will be going with Andy Dalton at quarterback. The Panthers lost their first two games and they struggled offensively in those games and I don't feel like Dalton will do any better. The Seahawks have given up 30 points a game but the Carolina offense cannot be compared to the offenses the Seahawks have faced. Seattle has more big play opportunities on offense and I look for them to come away with a win and cover. Play on Seattle. This is a 3% play | |||||||
09-24-23 | Falcons +3.5 v. Lions | 6-20 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 37 m | Show | |
The Falcons are a surprising 2-0 coming into this game with the Lions. to improve to 3-0. The Lions are banged up on both sides of the ball so I give the Falcons a chance in this game. The Lions could be without Amon-Ra St. Brown and will definitely be without David Montgomery and CJ Gardner-Johnsob. While the Falcons come into this matchup with the second-best passing defense, this will be their first test against a real quarterback. The Only problem is Detroit may be without their best receiver. Detroit has the 9th best-rushing defense and will need to force the Falcons into third-and-long situations and harass Ridder. Play on Atalanta. This is a 3% play. | |||||||
09-24-23 | Titans v. Browns -2.5 | 3-27 | Win | 100 | 4 h 36 m | Show | |
You could argue that the Browns were the better team last week even though they got the loss despite leading on the stats sheet. The loss was even worse for the Browns as they lost Nick Chubb for the season with a knee injury. Watson has struggled since returning from a nearly two-year absence. Kareem Hunt returned this week but it will take some time to get worked back into the offense. The Titans’ offense has not been good and the Browns’ defense has been fantastic and should shut them down. The Tennessee Titans are 1-1 after two games but have not looked great. The Cleveland Browns looked dominated against the Bengals in the opener. The Titans rely heavily on Derrick Henry and the running game. The Browns rush defense has been among the best in the NFL. They rank fifth in the NFL in rush defense after containing Najee Harris and the Steelers last week. I will take the Browns' defense in this one. Play on Cleveland. This is a 3% play | |||||||
09-23-23 | Ohio State v. Notre Dame +3 | 17-14 | Push | 0 | 5 h 6 m | Show | |
It's a Top 10 showdown when No. 6 Ohio State visits South Bend to take on the ninth-ranked Notre Dame Fighting under the lights. The Buckeyes come in at 3-0 while the Irish are 4-0 to start the season. Ohio State's defense has allowed just 6.7 points a game and 223.7 total yards a game. The offense is putting up 40.3 points and 474.7 total yards per game. The Irish are putting up 46 points and 508.8 total yards a game. They gave up 6 points in the first two and 41 in the next two. The Buckeyes have five of seven games versus the Irish including a 21-10 win last year. Hartman and Estime give the Irish a solid one-two punch. Neither team has played a tough schedule in the early going, but Notre Dame has looked far better. Fighting Irish have one of the best defenses in the nation and a strong running game, but Hartman also gives them a weapon in the passing game. Sam Hartman is a better QB than McCord. This should be a close game but I will take the points and Hartman to win this one. Play on Notre Dame. This is a 3% play. | |||||||
09-23-23 | Ole Miss +7 v. Alabama | 10-24 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 42 m | Show | |
We have a big SEC battle when the #15 Ole Miss Rebels go on the road to tackle the #13 Alabama Crimson Tide The Rebels are 3-0 overall and against the spread, while Bama is 2-1, 1-2 ATS. Jaxson Dart has shown he can get it done through the air and on the ground. he led the team in rushing last week, picking up 136 yards on the ground. Alabama has not looked like the Bama teams of old this season. It has to do with the quarterback position as for the first time in ages they came into the season with questions at that position. After trying three different quarterbacks, Saban will go with Jalen Milroe as the starter. Ole Miss has yet to face a defense as good as Alabama. Alabama does have questions on offense. Ole Miss has looked good facing weaker defenses, but they lack a run game, outside of Dart. If Lane Kiffen is going to take down Saban, this may be his best chance. Bama has huge questions at quarterback and as good as their defense is, Ole Miss has a pretty balanced offense best with Dart running the ball. I think seven points is just too much in this game. I am looking for a 3-point game or overtime. Play on Ole Miss. This is a 3% play. | |||||||
09-23-23 | Oklahoma -14 v. Cincinnati | 20-6 | Push | 0 | 3 h 18 m | Show | |
This will be Cincinnati's first game in the Big 12 Conference and they could have gotten an easier opener. The open Conference play against the Oklahoma Sooners. The Bearcats lost last week to Miami of Ohio in overtime after opening the season with two wins. They struggled against the pass last week and that does not bode well against the pass-happy sooners. Oklahoma has a great offensive line that should give Gabrial plenty of time to pick apart the Bearcat defense. I am looking for the Sooners to get out to an early lead and for Cincinnati to pass the ball and force turnovers from their inexperienced quarterback. This will not be a friendly welcome to the Big-12 for Cincinnati Play on Oklahoma. This is a 3% play. | |||||||
09-22-23 | Wisconsin -5 v. Purdue | 38-17 | Win | 100 | 10 h 44 m | Show | |
Wisconsin opens its Big 10 season against Purdue. The Badgers come into this game with a 2-1 record while the Boilermakers are 1-2 on the season. With all the talk about the Badgers opening up the offense, they till have an overpowering rushing attack, averaging 204 yards a game with 10 touchdowns. Purdue's defense has allowed 132.7 rushing yards a game. The Badgers have allowed 20.7 points a game. They are allowing just 93.3 rushing yards. The Purdue defense needs to step up against the Badgers. They are allowing 30.3 points a game. Over the last 10 meetings, the Badgers have gone 7-3 ATS up and 10-0 straight up. Only once has Purdue been within a field goal at the final whistle. Wisconsin is averaging 5.7 yards per carry, 14th in the country, while Purdue’s defense is allowing 3.9 yards per carry, third-most in the Big Ten. Wisconsin has won 16 straight meetings straight up. The Badgers are the better team and should have no problem controlling the game on the ground. Play on Wisconsin. This is a 3% play. | |||||||
09-20-23 | Mariners -1.5 v. A's | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 3 h 58 m | Show | |
The Seattle Mariners and Oakland A's wrap up their three-game series. The Mariners are battling both the Rangers and Blue Jays for the final two spots in the American League Wildcard race. George Kirby will make the start for Seattle. He is 10-10 with a 3.57 ERA. The A's will go with Joey Estes in his first MLB start. In the minors, he is g a 9-6 with a 3.74. Kirby has struggled over his last five starts, he is 0-2 with a higher-than-normal ERA. Kirby has faced the A's once this season, going seven innings and allowing just three runs. The Mariners are 10-1 against the A's this season and I look for that dominance to continue in this one. The Mariners offense should have a field day against Estes and I look for Kirby to bounce back against a struggling A's lineup. The Mariners are still playing for a playoff spot and will go all out to win this game. Play on Seattle minus 1.5 runs. This is a 3% play | |||||||
09-19-23 | Tigers v. Dodgers -1.5 | 2-3 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 13 m | Show | |
Detroit has to be given credit for still playing down the stretch. They have gone 7-3 ver their last ten. They are just 27-48 on the road this season. The Dodgers have not let up even though they have a playoff spot locked up. The Dodgers have matched the Tigers, going 7-3 over their last ten games. They are 48-26 at home this season. Miguel Diaz will get the start for the Tigers and as of now, the Dodgers have not named a starter. The Dodgers came away with a 7-3 win yesterday and I like them to win again today. It doesn't matter to me who the Dodgers start as they are the better team by far overall. Los Angeles has one of baseball's best bullpens so it doesn't really matter who goes the first few innings. The Dodgers offense should overpower the Tigers even if they rest a couple of starters. Play on the LA Dodgers minus 1.5 runs. Play action. This is a 3% play |
