09-10-22 | Kansas v. West Virginia OVER 59.5 | 55-42 | Win | 100 | 56 h 1 m | Show | |
Kansas opened their season with a home game last week against Tennessee Tech. They had little issues with Tech winning, 56-10. The offense was very balanced with 297 rushing yards and 205 passing yards. They will take on a West Virginia team that had a big test in week 1 vs Pitt. The Mountaineers lost the game, 31-38, but covered the 7.5-point line and moved the ball quite easily as they had 404 total yards. The defense did give up 308 yards to the Pitt passing attack. Both teams should score pretty much at will in this week 2 clash. I'm taking the OVER in this one. |

09-10-22 | Houston +3.5 v. Texas Tech | 30-33 | Win | 100 | 66 h 2 m | Show | |
This one looks to be a game mostly through the air as both teams lack much of a rushing attack, but both have excellent passing games. Houston escaped last week with a win over UTSA, 37-35, in OT on a two-point conversion. The Cougars will stay on the road this week as they travel to Texas Tech. Texas Tech also won their opening game against Murray State last week, 63-10. The only issue was the loss of QB Tyler Shough, who hurt his shoulder in the game. They will return to the player who started their last game of last season in QB, Donovan Smith. Smith should be fine back in the starting role and both teams should put up plenty of offense here today. I'll take the points with the road dog in this one. Play Houston. |

09-10-22 | Iowa State +3.5 v. Iowa | Top | 10-7 | Win | 100 | 54 h 2 m | Show |
It's always a great game when these two intrastate rivals clash. Both teams opened with wins in week one. Iowa State Cyclones had little issue at home with SE Missouri State, 42-10. They accumulated 569 total yards with 293 of those through the air. Iowa struggled though in week one, just getting by South Dakota State at home, 7-3. They had a measly 166 totals yards and held SDST to just 120 yards in what surely was a exciting game. The Cyclones have had their way in this series, covering seven of the last 10 in Iowa. I'm taking the visitor as I need to see more out of Iowa before I can lay points with them. Play Iowa State. |

09-08-22 | Bills v. Rams +2.5 | 31-10 | Loss | -110 | 33 h 15 m | Show | |
The LA Rams begin defense of their 2021 NFL Championship here on Thursday against one of the best teams in the AFC, Buffalo Bills. The Bills still have that finish from last year in the playoffs against the Chiefs where both teams went back and forth in one of the best finishes in NFL history. Josh Allen drove the team down the field in 49 seconds for the go ahead score, only to have the Chiefs go for the tying score in just 13 seconds to force OT. The Chiefs won the toss in OT and scored the TD for the win without the Bills and Allen even getting to take the field. The Good news for the Rams is that Matthew Stafford will play after nagging injuries all preseason. Gone are WR's Robert Woods and Odell Beckham Jr. The Rams have the 2nd toughest schedule in the NFL and this is their first big test. The Bills are hungry to get that bad taste from their mouth in their playoff loss to the Chiefs. The Rams getting 2 1/2 points at home. With their defense they should be in this game until the end. I'll take the Rams plus the points. |

09-05-22 | Clemson -21 v. Georgia Tech | 41-10 | Win | 100 | 339 h 47 m | Show | |
The Clemson Tigers let down a lot of bettors last year. While they were good on defense, the offense just didn't generate enough to cover big numbers. The Tigers made some moves in the offseason to improve the offense and we should see much improvement in that area. Georgia Tech might have a very long day in this one as their defense and in particular the DL, is not very good. Clemson should wear them down on the ground which will also open the passing attack. Meanwhile, the Clemson defense will show how good they are as they stifle this Yellow Jacket offense. Three touchdowns plus seems like a hill to climb, but not for the Clemson team against GT. I'll gladly lay the lumber in this one. Play Clemson. |

09-03-22 | Notre Dame v. Ohio State -17 | Top | 10-21 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 15 m | Show |
Marquee matchup here on the Week 1 Saturday college football schedule. Notre Dame's head coach Marcus Freeman is a alum of Ohio State so he will have his own sort of homecoming here tonight. Freeman took over for Brian Kelly last season and took them to the Feista Bowl last season where they lost to Oklahoma State, 35-37. Ohio State was 11-2 last season and won the Rose Bowl. Was this a down season for them? For many, yes it was. They had high expectations of making the playoff four, but missed out. They also lost to rivals Michigan and lost in the Big 10 Championship. However, this year should be different with 11 starters returning. This game today has No 2 Ohio State and No 5 Notre Dame. However, with the oddsmaker posting a 17-point line on the underdog Irish we have to wonder if they are telling us right off the bat that this Irish team isn't a No 5 ranked club. These teams have met six times with Ohio State holding a 4-2 edge. Moreover, all four OSU wins have come by at least 13-points. I believe that OSU has too much firepower for this Notre Dame. In my rankings I have Notre Dame closer to No 20 and not No 5. There is a huge difference between these teams and it will show here on Saturday. I'm taking Ohio State in a blowout win. |

09-03-22 | Florida Atlantic -4 v. Ohio | Top | 38-41 | Loss | -110 | 47 h 53 m | Show |
Florida Atlantic plays their second game of the young season here today after a thorough trouncing of Charlotte last week, 43-13, as a 7-point favorite. FAU had 223 yards rushing and 264 yards passing while holding Charlotte to just 283 total yards. Ohio plays its first game of the season today and looks to improve on a poor 22.6 ppg average last season. The defense is not good, allowing 30 ppg and 431 yards last season. Ohio is just 3-11 ATS in their last 14 home games and 0-6 ATS in their last six non-conference games. With FAU having that game under their belt, I like their offense to get plenty of points here today. Ill take Florida Atlantic. |

09-03-22 | Texas State +1 v. Nevada | 14-38 | Loss | -110 | 46 h 24 m | Show | |
Texas State making their 2022 debut here in week 1, while Nevada saw action last week. Nevada Wolfpack played at New Mexico State and came away with the 23-12 win and covered the 7-point spread. However, the Nevada offense was pretty pathetic, gaining 257 total yards against a pretty bad team. They also had just 78 total passing yards in the win. The difference were the five turnovers the Wolfpacked forced last week. Texas State looks to bolster their passing attack this season with transfer QB Layne Hatcher who comes over from Arkansas State. But the bigger problem for this team is its defense, which allowed 33 points per game and 430 yards. Texas State might push the running game here today as New Mexico State highlighted a poor Nevada rush defense that gave up 218 yards on the ground. Nevada has typically started slowly, going just 4-11 ATS in their last 15 September games. Nevada was fortunate last week that they got five turnovers and played offensively weak New Mexico State team. You would have thought a much larger margin of victory given the turnovers. Now they face a much more balanced offense in Texas State. Both teams should get their share of points today but I'll take the visitors in this one. Play Texas State. |

09-03-22 | North Carolina v. Appalachian State +1 | 63-61 | Loss | -110 | 41 h 54 m | Show | |
North Carolina opened its season last week vs Florida A&M. While the Tar Heels won 56-24, they failed to cover the 43.5-point spread. This is the first time NCU will play at Boone, though the teams did meet in Chapel Hill back in 2019 with App State beating NCU, 34-31. NCU started a freshman QB last week in Drake Maye, who was very good, though it was against a poor Florida A&M squad. Now he will face a App State team that was 33rd in total defense last year. App State returns QB Chase Brice who threw for 3,337 yards and 27 TD's last season. They also had a rushing attack that averaged just under 200 yards per game. Add to the fact that this offensive line returns four starters and they have high expectations for the offense this year. I look for a high scoring game here today especially with App State against a poor NCU defense. I'll take App State today. |
|||||||
09-01-22 | Penn State v. Purdue UNDER 53.5 | Top | 35-31 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 51 m | Show |
Two Bowl teams from the 2021 season meet here tonight. And, both teams have very high aspirations for this season. Penn State started last year 5-0, but struggled down the stretch finishing at 7-6 overall. Purdue won more games last year then they had since 2003 with their 9-4 record. They beat Tennessee in the Music City Bowl, 48-45. Both teams lost some players to the NFL and it's not an easy site to play at Ross-Ade Stadium. I look for a close game, but in this one I'll be taking the UNDER. |
|||||||
09-01-22 | Central Michigan +22 v. Oklahoma State | 44-58 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
Central Michigan has a lot to be looking forward to this season after a 6-2 record in the MAC last season. They just missed the MAC Championship game, losing a wild contest to Northern Illinois, 38-39. Oklahoma State must have a bad taste in its mouth after just missing out on a College Football Playoff berth last year. The Cowboys missed beating Baylor in the Big 12 Championship by just two yards, failing to score a TD on four shots from the two. I expect Central Michigan to cover this big spread today as the Cowboys will be slow out of the gate this season. Play Central Michigan. |
|||||||
08-27-22 | Duquesne +42 v. Florida State | 7-47 | Win | 100 | 5 h 49 m | Show | |
Florida State enters this 2022 campaign having four straight losing seasons. HC Mike Norvell will begin his third season at the helm and the pressure is likely on his now to turn this team around. The Seminoles did close out last season winning five of their final eight games after an 0-4 start to the season. The Noles did lose to an FCS school last year to Jacksonville State, their first ever to a FCS team. FSU looks to start the season with a win for the first time since 2016. Duquesne beat TCU last year, so they know how to beat FBS schools. The Dukes finished last year at 7-3. Good news for the team, they return their leading rusher and passer from last year. While 42 points is lot to lay, is should be close in this one. I'm taking the points with Duke as they likely will have to pass quite a bit here today. Take the points as they appear to be just a mountain too tall for this FSU team to lay today. |

08-27-22 | Northwestern +13 v. Nebraska | 31-28 | Win | 100 | 95 h 4 m | Show | |
This game takes place all the way over in Dublin. No, not as in Dublin, Ohio but it's Dublin Ireland. This looks to be the best game of the opening days even though Nebraska coming off a 3-9 2021 season. HC Scott Frost will be on the hot seat as Husker fans will expect wins and early. Northwestern was also 3-9 last season so should be a good matchup of teams in rebuilding modes. Northwestern was also 3-9 ATS last season. Northwestern returns RB Evan Hull who rushed for over 1,000 yards last year. They also have four starters back on the OL, which will help Hull again. So why is Nebraska a 13-point favorite here on a neutral field? I have no idea. I see these teams at most a TD difference and really less than that. They are equally matched and while Nebraska has the pressure on it to win, I'm taking these generous points with the WildCats. Play Northwestern. |

02-13-22 | Rams -185 v. Bengals | 23-20 | Win | 100 | 23 h 41 m | Show | |
Rams Money Line: Let's face it, you can write paragraphs backing one side or another in this game. And really for me I'm taking the money line since these games have been so close in the playoffs and seem to come down to field goal one way or the other. The Rams laying 4 or 4 1/2 might be a tad more than I want to lay though I do like the Rams. Their defense has been rising to the occasion with Donald and Von Miller pressing QB's. Stafford has been very good and Kupp, well he's just amazing. The Bengals offense is loaded too with Burrows and his College connection Chase. Then you have Higgins and Joe Mixon providing the rushing. The Rams are at home in So-Fi Stadium though I'm sure there will be plenty of Bengals fans there. I'm taking the Money line with the Rams even though it's around 1.85 to 1.95. |

01-30-22 | 49ers +3.5 v. Rams | 17-20 | Win | 100 | 64 h 20 m | Show | |
The San Francisco 49ers hope their recent success against the LA Rams carries over into today's contest as these two teams play for the right to go to the Super Bowl. The 49ers have beaten the Rams six straight games. The dog has also covered this matchup the last six straight games. The 49ers got to this game with a win last week at Green Bay, 13-10. The 49ers offense wasn't very good in the extreme cold with just 106 yards rushing and 212 total yards. However, special teams made the difference with a blocked punt for a touchdown. Despite not having an offensive TD, the 49ers were good enough on defense and special teams. The Niners also blocked a Mason Crosby field goal. The Rams got here with a win at top seeded Tampa Bay last week, 30-27. The Rams looked like they would run away with this game, leading 27-3 at the half. But Tom Brady has a knack of bringing back teams and he did it again as they tied the game at 27 all. But Matthew Stafford did his own Brady impersonation and led the Rams to a field goal with just 42 seconds left on the clock. Stafford threw for 36 yards and two TD's. As for today's contest. I can't overlook the hold the 49ers have on the Rams of late. Plus I get 3 or 3 1/2 points. I'll take the points here with the 49ers. |

01-30-22 | Bengals v. Chiefs OVER 54 | 27-24 | Loss | -110 | 125 h 46 m | Show | |
Cincinnati pulled off one of the two big upsets over the last weekend as they upended the top seed in the AFC, Tennessee by a 19-16 margin. Tennessee looked to be moving toward the game winning score late in the 4th when QB Tannehill threw an interception around mid-field. The Bengals moved the ball into field goal position and scored the game winning field goal. The Bengals held the Titans to just 353 total yards in the game despite the return of Derrek Henry. Now the Bengals have only the Chiefs in their way if they want to get to the Super Bowl. What can you say about the Chiefs win over the Bills, 42-36 other then Wow! Both teams combined for over 20 points and four lead changes in the final two minutes of the game. The Chiefs had to go over 40 yards in 10 seconds of regulation just to get the tying field goal and force the OT. Personally, the Bills might have had the worst coaching I've seen at the end of a game I've seen by allowing that to happen. That aside, both teams were amazing on offense. That was the Chiefs 7th straight over as they have scored at more than 30 points in six of those games. The Bengals have lots of offense and in this game I look for another high scoring match. I'll take the OVER here today in the AFC Championship game. |

Hard to go against the Cheifs at home in the playoffs as they are 6-1 ATS in their last seven in that role. They have also covered eight of their last 10 games overall. I just don't have the faith in Burrows and the Bengals who haven't been in this position for over 30 years. Meanwhile we have Mahomes and the Chiefs who have won big games like this. I'll take the experience here today with the Chiefs. |

01-23-22 | Bills v. Chiefs OVER 54.5 | 36-42 | Win | 100 | 124 h 31 m | Show | |
Both of these teams advanced to the divisional game here on Sunday with blowout wins in the Wild Card round. The Bills had no trouble at all with the New England Patriots, jumping out a big lead and never looking back, 47-17. QB Josh Allen had over 300 yards passing and the team rushed for another 174 yards, all while the defense held the Pats to just 305 total yards. The Kansas City Chiefs fell behind 0-7 but then blew the game open in the 2nd quarter en route to a 42-21 win over the Steelers. The Chiefs had 106 yards rushing and 372 yards passing and held the Steelers to just 257 total yards. Now these locomotives clash here on Sunday. Two of the best throwing QB's in the NFL and both can run the ball. I don't see any reason this shouldn't be a very high scoring game and that's what I'm sticking with on Sunday. Play the OVER. |

The Buffalo Bills advanced to the divisional round with little difficulty last week in the Wild Card round. The Bills blew out the Patriots, 47-17 as a 4.5-point favorite. The Bills had 174 yards rushing and 308 passing in a very balanced attack. They held the Pats to just 89 yards rushing and 216 yards passing. That makes five wins in a row for the Bills and a 4-0-1 Spread mark. Kansas City fell behind to Pittsburgh 0-7 early but rallied for 42-14 score the rest of the way en route to their win over the Steelers, 42-21 as a 12.5 point favorite. That makes nine wins in their last 10 games and a spread mark of 7-2 their last nine games. The Chiefs have covered five of the last seven games in this series with the Bills. With the line right around 1 1/2 or 2-points on the Chiefs, we need to likely just pick the winner here. I'll lay the 1 1/2 with the Chiefs at home. |

01-23-22 | Rams +3 v. Bucs | Top | 30-27 | Win | 100 | 113 h 7 m | Show |
The LA Rams dominated the Arizona Cardinals in the Wildcard round, winning easily, 34-11 as a 3-point favorite. The Rams defense completely dominated Arizona, especially in the 1st half and caused Kyler Murray to make many mistakes including a pick-six. The Rams held Arizona to just 61 yards rushing and 122 yards passing for just 183 total yards. Now they will take on the ageless wonder in Tom Brady. Brady and the Bucs also won easily in the WildCard round over the Philadelphia Eagles, 31-15 as a 7-point favorite. Problem though is that the Bucs offensive line is a total mess and they will be missing key cogs this week. That will allow the Rams to do what they did last week and pressure Brady into mistakes. One knock against Brady is that he doesn't like to take a hit and will make mistakes when pressured. With his OL hurting and WR's Antonio Brown and Chris Godwin both gone, like will be tough on Brady this week. I'm taking the field goal with the Rams. |

The San Francisco 49ers went into Dallas in the Wild Card round and shocked the Cowboys and sent their fans home mad with a lopsided win, 23-17. The 49ers did get a scare at the end of the game when the Cowboys last seconds drive ended around the 30 yard line as time ran out on Dallas. That was the team's third win in a row both S/U and ATS. Now they have to head to Wisconsin to take on the Green Bay Packers. The Packers got the lone NFC buy in round one and have plenty of time before this game. They did lose their last game of the regular season to the Lions, 30-37, however most of the regulars only played about a quarter of this game. The Packers opened this game a 4.5-point favorite and that has moved to 5.5-points now. The weather will be cold in Green Bay, in the 20's and dropping during the game, However, there doesn't look to be any precipitation and the winds will be somewhat calm around 10 mph. The 49ers have been winning big games of late and while the Packers have been the best in the NFC, I'll take the points here and see if the Niners can keep this game to within a field goal. Play San Francisco. |

The Tennessee Titans got the lone AFC bye last week in the Wild Card round. Now they look to return with something they haven't had in months, RB Derrick Henry. Henry was the league's leading running back when he went down with a foot injury. That changed the dynamic of this Titans team, though they did manage to finish with the best record in the AFC. Now, Henry is back and should be well healed. The Titans won their last three games of the season and went 2-1 vs the spread. Though they did suffer a 1-3 run in late November and early December when Henry was gone. The Cincinnati Bengals survived a last second tying TD by the LV Raiders to advance this week, 26-19. The offense was fair, with 308 total yards and 83 rushing yards. The last four games in this series have all gone over the total. With Henry back and the Bengals having lots of weapons, I look for a higher scoring game here today. Play OVER. |

Two NFC West teams that are well acquainted meet here on Wild Card Monday as the Rams host the Cardinals at So-Fi Stadium. The Rams won the NFC West, despite their loss in their last game to the San Francisco 49ers, 24-27. That loss snapped a five game win streak by the Rams and a 4-1 spread win streak. That opened the door for Arizona to win the division but they also lost their last game to Seattle, 30-38. The Cardinals slumped badly down the stretch, going 1-4 S/U and ATS in their last five games. I'm looking at this game under tonight. The Cards don't play all that well on field turf, going 3-13 O/U in their last 16 games. They are also 3-14 O/U in their last 17 road games. The Rams have gone under in four of their last five home games and 5-17 O/U in their last 22 as a home favorite. I am sticking with the UNDER here on Monday Night. |

The Pittsburgh Steelers slid their way into this postseason thanks to the LV Raiders deciding to go for the win instead of the tie in their OT with the Chargers. Big Ben lives to play another game, though this looks to be the last of his luxurious career. And, you get two of the elder statesmen in coaches with the Steelers Tomlin and Chiefs Reid. That being said, I don't see the Chiefs running away with this game. Reid won't want to embarrass Ben on what is likely his last game. I look for the Steelers to play ball control and do their best to keep the Chiefs potent offense off the field. I look for a lower scoring game here on Sunday. I'll play the UNDER. |

Down 0-17 they clawed their way back to tie the game in the 4th quarter and had a chance to take the lead before Rams CB Ramsey made a circus interception at the same time the refs missed a roughing on the QB. The Rams took over the ball and marched the field to score the go ahead TD. After a SF punt and defensive stand, they Niners got the ball back with not much time on the clock and no time outs. QB Jimmy Garappolo marched the Niners the length of the field for the TD and forced OT where they kicked a field goal. The Rams threw an INT on the subsequent possession and SFO goes to the playoffs. Look for the Niners to run the ball down the Cowboys throats and use a physical defense to win this game. I like the 49ers a lot in this matchup. |

Look for the Niners to run the ball a lot here today. As such, if they can keep the Cowboys off the field a bit more then this should be a lower scoring game. I'll take the UNDER |

01-16-22 | Eagles v. Bucs -9 | 15-31 | Win | 100 | 156 h 55 m | Show | |
The Philadelphia Eagles got into the playoffs but no thanks to their last regular season game. The Eagles lost last Saturday at home to the Dallas Cowboys, 26-51. Tampa Bay had little trouble with the Carolina Panthers, winning at home 41-17. I see the key to this game as the running game for the Eagles. The Eagles need to run effectively in order to win games. Problem is they are playing one of the best run defenses in the league in the Tampa Bay Bucs. The Bucs look to start defense of their NFL Championship with Tom Brady and a patchwork of receivers. They lost Antonio Brown when he stormed off the field. The already have lost Chris Goodwin to a season-ending injury. Now they have lost Cyril Grayson who was injured in the Panthers win. But, Brady still seems to find the right receivers at the right time. I'll lay the points at home here with the Bucs as their defense comes up big in this game. |

01-15-22 | Patriots v. Bills UNDER 44 | 17-47 | Loss | -106 | 20 h 6 m | Show | |
Ok, we know Buffalo can be cold, but it's going to be insanely cold in this game. The temp is going to be in the single digits and if you figure in the wind chill, how about minus 10-15 degrees. This will be one of the coldest games in NFL history on Saturday. That being said, I expect to see the ball run a lot here on Saturday night. I don't expect to see a lot of long passes in this game. I'm going to play this game under solely on the teams and their ability to run the ball. Take the UNDER. |

01-15-22 | Raiders +5.5 v. Bengals | 19-26 | Loss | -108 | 77 h 22 m | Show | |
The Raiders had to win down the stretch to get here and they did it with an interim coach, something not done in 60-years. They also had a chance to tie and send the Chargers to the playoffs too, but they were able to get into Field goal range late in OT and get the win. The weather looks to be cold here on Sunday with a 50% chance of snow, something Vegas isn't used to playing in. The lowest temp Vegas has played this year was 40 degrees and that was a Vegas win at Cleveland, 16-14. The Bengals will host their first playoff game since 2015. I don't think any team has gone through as much controversy this year as the Raiders have. Yet, they seem to be able to come out all right. I like playing dogs in the playoffs and the Raiders look to have a excellent shot of winning this game today. Play the Raiders. |

Vegas hasn't played below 40 degrees this year and as such I'm expecting a lower scoring game here today. Play UNDER. |

01-10-22 | Georgia v. Alabama +3 | Top | 33-18 | Loss | -108 | 23 h 55 m | Show |
Lets face it, you can make a argument for either side here in this Championship game. Both teams demolished their opening round opponents with Alabama crushing Cincinnati and Georgia easily handling Michigan. Both sides are loaded with great players and both teams have potent offenses and great defenses. Alabama leads this all-time series with Georgia and has won the last seven times against the Bulldogs. Yet, here we are the Tide are a small dog tonight. These teams met for the National Championship back in 2017 with Alabama winning 26-23 in a come from behind victory. Alabama won last year's championship by easily defeating Ohio State, 52-24. Alabama HC Nick Sabin has won seven national championships while Georgia hasn't won since 1980. This one is all about the Georgia defense vs the Alabama offense. I'm sticking with the team that has history on its side. Take Alabama. |

01-09-22 | Chargers v. Raiders +3 | 32-35 | Win | 100 | 81 h 60 m | Show | |
The game with the most importance to both teams was moved to Sunday night as the Raiders host the Chargers. The winner of this game will get into the playoffs while the loser goes home. The Chargers coming off a win last week vs Denver, 34-13, snapped a two-game losing streak. Las Vegas has won three straight to keep their playoff hopes alive, though they do need that fourth here today. They beat the Colts last week on the road, 23-20 with Carlson hitting the game winning field goal as time expired. The good news for the Raiders is that they might get back TE Darren Waller here today who has missed time with both injury and Covid protocols. In fact, the Raiders have a number of players they might get back Sunday coming off their Covid protocols. This is a call either way, but for me I'll take Vegas as a home dog since I look for them to win this game. Play the Raiders. |

01-09-22 | Seahawks v. Cardinals UNDER 48 | 38-30 | Loss | -105 | 18 h 42 m | Show | |
The LA Rams can win the NFC West title with a victory here today over the SF 49ers. The Rams can win with a loss if Arizona also loses today against Seattle. The 49ers are currently the sixth seed in the NFC and can clinch a playoff spot with a win. The Rams bring a 5-game win streak into today's contest after a come from behind win last week at Baltimore, 20-19. It's still unclear if 49er's QB Jimmy Garoppolo will play today as he's still suffering from a thumb injury. Trey Lance would once again be in line to start this game. Both teams have excellent defenses and this looks to be a tight game. I don't expect this game to eclipse 40 points and with the total at 44.5, I'll take the UNDER here today. |

Seattle won't be going to the postseason but they hope to finish their season on a positive note with a win here today at Arizona. The Seahawks are coming off a big home win last week over Detroit, 51-29. Arizona finally got back to the win column last week with a victory over Dallas, 25-22. I don't believe records will come into play here today. The Hawks have a lot of players looking to change their fortunes for next season and they won't mail this one in. The Cardinals win the NFC title with a win here today but they also need the Rams to lose. I expect a lot closer game than most in this one. I'll take the points with Seattle. |

The Cincinnati Bengals lost their slim chances at the AFC No 1 seed when the Chiefs beat Denver on Saturday. That means this game has no meaning other than the rivalry that these two Ohio teams have. The Browns won the last meeting between these teams back on week nine, 41-16 at Cincinnati. The Browns won't be going to the postseason after a 7-9 mark thus far, but this game could help those sour feelings a bit. Now that Cincinnati has nothing to play for, QB Joe Burrow won't play today. That leaves Brandon Allen to do the signal calling duties for the Bengals. Baker Mayfield will also sit out this game for the Browns with a shoulder injury. I like Case Keenum, the backup for the Browns here today. Nothing to play for, I'll take the Browns who want their season to end in a win. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Cowboys v. Eagles +4 | 51-26 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 36 m | Show | |
Both the Cowboys and Eagles have clinched a spot in the postseason. Dallas is 11-5 on the season and the NFC East champion. They will be the No 4 seed and can improve to No 2 with some additional help. The Eagles are 9-7 and the No 7 seed. The Eagles could actually lose today and still move up in the seeding. The Eagles are 6-1 in their last seven games and look to avenge a 41-21 loss to the Cowboys earlier this season. Both teams likely will be without some players today. The snow looks to have moved on here tonight, but it's going to be cold night in Philly with the low around 20 degrees. I will take the home team here and look for some revenge for that loss earlier in the season. Play Philadelphia. |

Next to last Bowl game of the season here on Tuesday in the Texas Bowl as LSU takes on Kansas State. In some of these games you can throw away numbers and look for motivation as your deciding factor. LSU became bowl eligible by winning it's last two games of the season over Texas A&M and UL Monroe. LSU has a myriad of issues as their coach Ed Orgeron was fired, they have transfer issues, injury issues and this team right now has only 40 scholarship players. This was a LSU defense that struggled at full strength at the beginning of the season let alone all the issues they have now. Kansas State returns QB Skylar Thompson who last played on Nov 20 and suffered an ankle injury. I don't see this LSU roster of straglers doing much here today and really looks only for the Bowl payday and lets go home. Take Kansas State. |

01-03-22 | Browns v. Steelers -145 | 14-26 | Win | 100 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
Steelers. Looks like tonight's MNF contest will mark the last home start for Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger. All signs point to this is his final season. The Steelers still have a slim shot at a wild card spot. They have to beat Cleveland tonight and then the Ravens in the finale. The Browns were eliminated from playoff contention yesterday. The Browns QB Baker Mayfield has had one strange year. He's received death threats, his wife has gone public considering her husband. With the Browns season over will they put up any fight tonight? I doubt it. The Steelers, even with a slight playoff chance, will want to send Big Ben out on a high note in his last home NFL game. I'll throw out the numbers in this one and go strictly on my feelings about the atmosphere here tonight. Play Pittsburgh. |

01-02-22 | Lions +8.5 v. Seahawks | 29-51 | Loss | -106 | 6 h 19 m | Show | |
Reason: It's a season that the Seattle Seahawks would love to forget. They will miss the postseason with a 5-10 S/U record this season. They have averaged just 20.4 ppg with a very good QB and receivers. The running game has been suspect all year, but looked better in recent weeks with Penny back. The defense has been last or near the bottom of the NFL all year long. The Hawks have lost two straight, two weeks ago to the Rams, 10-20 and then last week at home to the Chicago Bears, 24-25 as a 7-point favorite. The Seahawks are just 4-9 ATS their last 13 vs a losing team. They are also 1-4 ATS in their last five as a home favorite. They face a scappy Detroit Lions team today. Despite going 0-9-1 in their first 11 games, they have won two games since against Minnesota and a blowout win over Arizona. They have also covered two straight and six of their last seven games. Two teams that have nothing to play for here today, but the Lions look to be the team with life in each game. I'll take the points and won't be surprised by another outright Lions win. Play Detroit. |

Arizona has fallen into 2nd place in the NFC West standings, one game back of the LA Rams. The Cardinals look to snap a 3-game losing streak here today at Dallas. The Cards are coming off a loss to the Colts, 16-22. That was on the heals of a loss at Detroit the previous week, 12-30. The Dallas Cowboys will be the NFC West Champion with an 11-4 record and a 3-game lead over the Eagles. The Cowboys have won four straight games both S/U and ATS. Dallas still trails Green Bay in the overall best NFC record. Plus the Bucs have an identical 11-4 record. The Cardinals have been very good on the road, evidenced by their 18-7-2 ATS record their last 27 games. The Cardinals have covered five of the last six games in this series and the dog is also 5-1 ATS. I'll take the dog Cardinals here today. Play Arizona. |

01-02-22 | Dolphins v. Titans UNDER 41 | 3-34 | Win | 100 | 3 h 54 m | Show | |
Miami has been amazing after starting the season with a 1-7 record. They really turned things around with seven straight wins and put themselves in the playoff hunt. They have two tough games to go, today against Tennessee then against the Patriots to close out the regular season. Miami's defense has been very good, allowing 17 points or fewer in four of their last five games. They are coming off an impressive win at New Orleans, 20-3 as a 3.5-point favorite. Despite losing Derek Henry to a foot injury, the Tennessee Titans are still one game ahead of Indianapolis for the AFC South lead. The Titans are 10-5 on the season, they average 23.8 ppg while allowing 21.7 ppg. The Titans haven't been hit too hard with the Covid bug, with just three players out today. The Titans are coming off that Thursday night win over the 49ers, 20-17, a game which they trailed 0-10. The Titans have allowed just 36 total points over their last three games. Looks to be a good defensive battle today. I'll take the UNDER. |

These two teams not going anywhere this post season and it looks like a miserable day for a game. The weather at Soldier Field in Chicago is expect to be cold, in the 20's with winds around 15-20, so that will make it eve colder. With both teams not going anywhere and the offenses both less than stellar, might make for a sloppy day on the field. The Giants average just 16.5 ppg this season and have scored more than 13 points just once in the last five games. They are 0-4 S/U and ATS in their last four games. The Giants are also 5-15-1 O/U in their last 21 games as a dog. Chicago isn't much better, averaging just 17.7 ppg this season. They did manage a win last week at Seattle, but against one of the worst defenses in the NFL,m 25-24. At home they are just 2-5 S/U and ATS along with going under in five of those seven games. The Bears have gone under in six of their last seven games as a home favorite and 19 of their last 26 overall at home. With the weather and both teams dead teams walking, I'll take the UNDER. |

01-01-22 | Utah +4 v. Ohio State | Top | 45-48 | Win | 100 | 6 h 32 m | Show |
Ohio State has had some time now to stew about their big loss to Michigan on Nov 27th, 27-42. The Buckeyes finished the season at 10-2 S/ and 7-5 ATS. Meanwhile, Utah brings a six game win streak into today's Rose Bowl at Pasadena. The Utes also won the PAC-12 Championship with a decisive win over Oregon. Have to believe the Buckeyes might not have their heads in this game. If they had beaten Michigan they would have likely played in the National Championship final four. Instead, they play Utah in the Rose Bowl. This game means a lot more to this Utah team. They can beat a big time football powerhouse in this storied event. For Utah, this is their game to show they belong and their own National Championship. Throw out any numbers in this one, I'm looking for motivation and for me it all falls to Utah. |

01-01-22 | Oklahoma State v. Notre Dame | 37-35 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 3 m | Show | |
Fiesta Bowl from Glendale, AZ today has Oklahoma State taking on Notre Dame. The OK State Cowboys finished the regular season with a 11-2 S/U and 9-4 ATS record. They averaged 30.6 ppg while allowing 16.8 ppg. Notre Dame finished 11-1 S/U and 9-3 vs the spread. The Irish averaged 35.2 ppg while allowing 18.2 ppg. Notre Dame had an average offense overall, but was top 20 in FBS Scoring. Both teams have played well at times. Notre Dame's level of play has been more consistent while Ok State has had some big ups and a few downs. I don't expect a high scoring game here today, but should be fairly close. Notre Dame has been more consistent plus they have averaged better points on the Year. Play Notre Dame. |

12-31-21 | Georgia v. Michigan +7.5 | 34-11 | Loss | -106 | 9 h 32 m | Show | |
The second half of the National Championship playoffs will be decided here tonight and we'll know who will play for the overall Championship. Georgia take on Michigan in what looks to be a great defensive battle. Georgia has the 2nd ranked overall defense in the country and Michigan has the 12th overall rated defense. Georgia allowed just 9.5 ppg this season while the Wolverines allowed 16.1 ppg. The Wolverines had the better spread record with a 11-2 mark compared to Georgia's 8-5 mark. I fully expect points to be at a premium here today and with that I take the dogs plus a TD or more. Play Michigan. |

Cotton Bowl here today has Cincinnati taking on Alabama for the right to move on to the NCAA FB Championship game. Cincinnati a big dog here today of 13 to 14 points. The Bearcats finished the season with a perfect 13-0 record and 8-5 ATS spread mark. They had a terrific defense, allowing just 16.1 ppg this year while scoring an average of 39.2 ppg. They scored at least 35 points in each of their last four games. Meanwhile the Alabama Crimson Tide finished the season at 12-1 S/U and 7-6 ATS. Their lone blemish coming back on October 9th at Texas A&M, 38-41. This team not as good defensively as we've seen in the past as they allow just over 20 ppg this season. I really won't be shocked if the Bearcats pull off the straight-up win here today. Still, I'll take all the points in this one. Play Cincinnati |

12-30-21 | Pittsburgh v. Michigan State -3 | Top | 21-31 | Win | 100 | 6 h 8 m | Show |
Peach Bowl from Atlanta Georgia has Pittsburgh taking on Michigan State. The Pitt Panthers come into today's contest with a 11-2 overall record and 10-3 ATS spread mark. The Panthers bring a five game win streak into the game and have covered four of their last five games. The Panthers will be without their starting QB in Kenny Pickett who is out with personal issues. QB Nick Patti looks to start here today with just 14 attempts on the season. This will be a big blow to the Panthers team that afveraged over 350 yards through the air this year. Michigan State finished 2nd in the Big 10 East with a 10-2 S/U and 9-3 ATS record. I'm going to take Michigan State here today as I don't see Pitt doing a lot with their backup QB at the helm. Play Michigan State |

12-29-21 | Maryland -4 v. Virginia Tech | 54-10 | Win | 100 | 3 h 39 m | Show | |
PinStripe Bowl today from Yankee Stadium has Maryland taking on Virginia Tech. Maryland finished the regular season with a 6-6 record and just became Bowl eligible. They are also 4-8 vs the number this season. The Terps had to win their last game to get this bowl and they did with a 40-16 win over Rutgers on the road. That snapped a 3-game losing skid. Virginia Tech also just became bowl eligible with a 6-6 record. They finished way down in the ACC standings, tie for 5th with four other teams. The Hokies were 4-8 ATS on the season and outscored opponents by a 24.89 to 22.9 margin. Tech is just 1-5 ATS in their last six non-conference games. They are also 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The favorite has covered four of the last five in this series and that's who I'm taking today. Play Maryland. |

Texas Tech just did become Bowl eligible at 6-6 S/U and they were 6-5-1 vs the spread. The Red Raiders were outscored on the season 30-32.1 and finished 6th in the Big 12. The Raiders limped into the postseason, losing two straight games and f0our of their last five games. Their only win coming against Iowa State, 41-38. They were 2-3 S/U and 3-2 ATS on the road, outscored by a 28.8 to 36.5 ppg average. The Mississippi State Bulldogs are 7-5 S/U and ATS on the season. They outscored opponents by a 30.9 to 25.2 margin this year. The Dogs did lose their final game of the regular season to Ole Miss, 21-31 as a 2-point favorite. However, they did cover five of their last six overall. Miss State the better team here and has been playing better football down the stretch. Play Mississippi Sate. |

First Responder Bowl action here on Tuesday has Louisville taking on Air Force from Dallas, Tx. The Louisville Cardinals finished the regular season just bowl eligible at 6-6 S/U and 5-7 ATS. They averaged 31.9 ppg while allowing 27 ppg. They are coming off a loss to Kentucky, 21-52 in their last game as a 3-point favorite. That snapped a two-game win streak for the Cardinals. The Air Force Falcons bring a 8-4 S/U and 5-7 ATS record into today's contest. They averaged 31 ppg and allowed 19.1 ppg on the season. Louisville looks to be the more balanced team, averaging 211 yards rushing and 218 passing per game. The Falcons are still predominately a run team with 341 yards per game and just 82 passing per game. Should be a lot of ground and pound in this game. While Air Force does have the rushing edge, I like the balanced offense of Louisville here today. Play Louisville. |

12-27-21 | Dolphins v. Saints UNDER 38 | Top | 20-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 9 m | Show |
The Miami Dolphins have been hot, winning six straight games and covering five of those. They have also gone under in five of their last seven games, thanks in big part to a stingy defense that has allowed more than 17 points just one time in their last six games. The Miami defense has also climbed to 18th overall in the NFL after being near bottom back in November. The New Orleans Saints defense has been solid, ranked 13th overall and 5th vs the run. The Saints have won two straight games including their big shutout win at Tampa Bay last time out, 9-0. They held the high powered Bucs offense to just 302 totals yards and frustrated Tom Brady the entire game. The problem with the Saints is at QB. They will not have Trevor Siemian today and Tayson Hill is doubtful with Covid protocols. That leaves starting duties to Ian Book. Book is the only QB left on the Saints roster and will make his first every NFL start tonight. That with the wild card on the line for the Saints. Book was a fourth-round 2021 draft choice out of Notre Dame. With Book starting and the Miami defense playing great, I'll take this game UNDER tonight. |

Quick Lane Bowl here today from Detoit, MI has Western Michigan takin on Nevada. Have to believe Nevada has no interest in playing in this game. Their three best players, including QB Carson Strong, have opted out to get ready for the NFL draft. Plus at least 15 players have entered the transfer portal to follow their coach Jay Norvell to his new job at Colorado State. That's all bad news for the Nevada team that will be very short handed. Add to that the Wolves make the long trip from West to East and W.Michigan playing in their own backyard and this looks to be a Western Michigan blowout today. Play Western Michigan. |

12-26-21 | Broncos v. Raiders | Top | 13-17 | Win | 100 | 6 h 57 m | Show |
The LA Raiders kept their playoff chances alive with a win at the Cleveland Browns last week, 16-14. That snapped a two game losing streak for the Raiders. They also got some good news today as two of their inured secondary will return today. The other good news is they face a Denver team they have handled quite easily in recent times. They are 7-1 ATS vs the Broncos their last eight meetings and 5-0 ATS on their home turf vs the Broncos. The Broncos will be without QB Teddy Bridewater who was carted off the field with a concussion. That leaves the signal calling duties to Drew Lock. Denver also still have a wild card shot as they sit a 7-7. For me, without Bridgwater this Broncos team is not nearly as good. The Raiders have some confidence after last week and know they can and will handle these Broncos today. Play Las Vegas. |

The Rams can take over sole 1st place in the NFC West with a win today over the Vikings. The Cardinals loss last night to the Colts opened that door for the Rams. They will take on the 2nd place team in the NFC North, the Vikings. Minnesota is 7-7 and can't overtake Green Bay for 1st place but still has a chance with a win for a wild card slot. The Rams have won three straight games after their two-game losing skid. They are coming off a win over Seattle, 20-10. The Rams do good vs the NFC, going 27-12-1 their last 40 games vs the spread. The Vikings have won two straight games after a 2-game losing skid. They have wins over Pittsburgh and then last week over Chicago, 17-9. The Vikes are only 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games. I'm looking at the OVER here today. The Rams are 6-2-1 O/U in their last nine road games. The Vikings have gone over in four of their last five overall. I look for plenty of points in this one today. Play OVER. |

12-25-21 | Colts v. Cardinals UNDER 48.5 | 22-16 | Win | 100 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
The Arizona Cardinals have to be one of the strangest teams in the NFL this year. They are 10-4 and tied for first place in the NFC West. However, last week they go to Detroit and were never in the game with a blowout loss, 12-30. Their offense could manage just just 13 points and 36 points over the last two weeks. It won't get any easier today against the 15th ranked defense in the Colts. The Colts have the most take aways this year. The Colts are +14 in turnover ratio, tops in the league. The Colts beat the red-hot Patriots last week, 27-17 with two more turnovers in that game. They have won four of their last five games and gone under in their last two games. The Colts also have the top running back in the league in Jonathon Taylor, so they should be able to control the ball on the ground today. I'm taking the UNDER. |
|||||||
12-25-21 | Browns v. Packers UNDER 46.5 | 22-24 | Win | 100 | 6 h 42 m | Show | |
This game does have playoff implications as the Packers have clinched a postseason spot, but the Browns are still battling. The Browns are in last in the AFC North at 7-7, one game back of the Bengals. They are 12th in the Wild Card race tied with three other teams. If the Browns lose today, they will be eliminated if the Ravens and Steelers both win. The Packers are 11-3 and have the best record in the NFL. While they can't clinch the No 1 seed this week, a win goes a long way toward that goal. I look at the Browns as the desperate team here today. They will look to control the ball on the ground with Chubb and keep Aaron Rodgers offense off the field as long as they can. That being said, I don't believe the Browns can get into a scoring match here today with the Packers. They need to keep this score lower and that means rushing the ball. I'm taking the UNDER here today. |

12-23-21 | 49ers v. Titans OVER 44 | Top | 17-20 | Loss | -113 | 8 h 36 m | Show |
The San Francisco 49ers are in one of the toughest division in football, the NFC West. Even though they have a 8-6 record, they trail the Rams and Cardinals by 2-games. However, they do have the best Wild Card record at this point, so they need to keep winning. The 49ers have won two straight games over Cincinnati, 26-23 and then last week over Atlanta, 31-13. Now they have the short week turnaround as they travel to Tennessee to take on the Titans. The Titans are coming off a loss at Pittsburgh, 13-19 as a 1-point dog. That makes them 1-3 S/U and ATS over their last four games. The 49ers are ranked 12th overall in offense, 7th in rushing. The Titans have dropped to 17th since the loss of Derek Henry. The 49ers are 7-3-1 O/U in their last 11 games as a road favorite. The Titans are 6-2 O/U in their last eight home games. These teams have gone over in their last four meetings and that's what I look for again here today. Play OVER. |

12-23-21 | Central Florida +7 v. Florida | 29-17 | Win | 100 | 6 h 16 m | Show | |
Battle of two Sunshine State teams here today in the Gasparilla Bowl as Central Florida takes on Florida. UCF Golden Knights finished 8-4 S/U and 4-8 ATS on the season. The Knights averaged 32.2 ppg and allowed 25.2 ppg. UCF has won two straight games and four of their last five games. The Florida Gators finished at 6-6 S/U and 3-9 ATS on the season. They average 31.8 ppg while allowing 26.6 ppg. The Gators limped into the Bowls, losing three of their last five games and failing to cover any of those contests. Gators will have big issues today with this UCF offense. I'll take the Knights in this one. Play Central Florida. |
|||||||
12-23-21 | Miami-OH v. North Texas +2.5 | 27-14 | Loss | -108 | 3 h 46 m | Show | |
Frisco Bowl here in the early game of the day from Frisco, Tx has Miami Ohio taking on North Texas. Miami finished just bowl eligible at 6-6 overall and 5-7 vs the spread. The Hawks were a perfect 5-0 at home, but just 1-6 when playing on the road. They will play a North Texas team that also just got to the bowls with a 6-6 record and a 9-3 ats mark. Both these teams finished in the middle of their respective conferences. North Texas has the advantage of playing in their own State and for me that makes a difference against a poor road team like Miami. I'll take North Texas in this one. |
|||||||
12-22-21 | Missouri v. Army -6.5 | Top | 22-24 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 7 m | Show |
Armed forces bowl has Missouri taking on Army. Missouri just did get bowl eligible at 6-6 S/U on the season. They were just 3-9 ATS overall this year. They are coming off a loss at Arkansas, 17-34 as a 14.5-point dog. The Tigers were outscored overall on the season 29.7 ppg to 34.7 ppg. Now they face an Army team that averaged 302 yards per game on the ground this year. Why is that significant? Missouri has the 110th ranked defense and they allowed 229 yards per game on the ground. Looks to be a long day here for the Tigers who will be fed a steady streak of Army rushing. Play Army. |

12-21-21 | San Diego State -2.5 v. UTSA | 38-24 | Win | 100 | 6 h 4 m | Show | |
Frisco Bowl is the late game today from Frisco, TX and has San Diego State taking on UTSA. Both these teams had excellent seasons. San Diego State Aztecs were 11-2 S/U and 6-6-1 ATS on the season. The Aztecs were once again a great defensive team, allowing just 19.5 ppg this season. They did come off a loss in the Mountain West Championship to Utah State, 13-46. The UTSA Roadrunners were 12-1 S/U and 9-4 ATS on the season. They average 37.8 ppg while allowing 23.6 ppg. UTSA beat Western Kentucky in the Conference USA Championship, 49-41 as a 3-point dog. Both teams are excellent defensive units, but I have to give the edge to the Aztecs here today. Play San Diego State. |
|||||||
12-21-21 | Washington Football Team v. Eagles UNDER 41 | 17-27 | Loss | -108 | 6 h 33 m | Show | |
Washington and Philly are tied at 6-7 in the NFC East. Neither team will catch the 1st place Cowboys at 10-4, but both still are alive in the NFC Wild Card. Loser here will be done in the race. This game got moved from Sunday due to severe Covid outbreak with Washington, including starting QB Taylor Heinicke among many others. Most are questionable pending their Covid test today, including Heinike. Ryan Fitzpatrick looks to return to and should start at QB if Heinicke can't go. Washington has seen its last four game go under and eight of last nine go under. This is due in part to a 20th ranked offense and a 17th ranked defense. Washington coming off a loss last week to Dallas, 20-27 as a 6.5-point dog. Philadelphia is coming off a win over the Jets, 33-18. They have gone under in two of their last three and three of the last five. I don't look for this to be a high scoring game. I'll take UNDER. |
|||||||
12-21-21 | Seahawks v. Rams OVER 46.5 | 10-20 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 32 m | Show | |
Seattle has rebounded nicely after a three game stretch where the offense really struggled. They are coming off wins over the 49ers, 30-23 and then last week over Houston, 33-13. The Seattle offense ranks only 28th overall. The defense still ranks last overall in the NFL. Now they have to face a LA Rams team fighting for a playoff spot. The Rams have won two straight games after their loss to the Packers back on Nov 28th. They beat Jacksonville, 37-7 and then last week beat Arizona, 30-23. Both teams have been scoring and I will take the OVER in this matchup today. |
|||||||
12-21-21 | Wyoming -3.5 v. Kent State | 52-38 | Win | 101 | 2 h 3 m | Show | |
The Potato Bowl here on Tuesday from Boise, ID has Wyoming taking on Kent State. Wyoming finished 6-6 and was just bowl eligible. The Cowboys averaged 23.2 ppg while allowing just 22.5 ppg. Wyoming's last game was a Nov 27th loss against Hawaii, 14-38. Kent State finished first in the MAC East standings with a 7-6 record and 6-7 ATS mark. The Golden Flashes lost to Northern Illinois in the MAC Championship, 23-41 as a 3.5-point favorite. This game isn't about numbers, it's more about which team will show up here today. Good news for Cowboys is that All American Linebacker Chad Muma decided to play and not opt out for the NFL draft. With Mum playing here today I look for that to give a boost to this Cowboys team today. Take Wyoming. |

12-20-21 | Raiders -2.5 v. Browns | 16-14 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 11 m | Show | |
This game was a victim of the Covid Protocols. Originally slated to be played on Saturday, December 18, they moved this game to tonight in hopes players could get off the Covid lists and play. Well, that didn't happen. The Browns have been hit hard and even with the two day delay, those players on protocol are ALL out. That includes Baker Mayfield and a slew of offensive and defensive starters. There are a few players that look like they will play, but were' talking a lot of backups here. That's why the line has gone from Browns as favorites to the Raiders at 2 or 3 favorites. As for the Raiders, who are 100% vaccinated, they have no players out with Covid. Throw out the numbers here today, play the healthier Raiders in this one. |

12-20-21 | Tulsa v. Old Dominion +9 | 30-17 | Loss | -113 | 2 h 25 m | Show | |
Myrtle Beach Bowl here on Monday is the lone bowl action as Tulsa takes on Old Dominion. Both teams just did become bowl eligible with identical 6-6 records. Tulsa was 7-5 against the spread while ODU was 8-3-1. Tulsa averaged 26.1 ppg while allowing 27.4 ppg. The Golden Hurricane is coming off a three game win streak including last game at SMU, 34-31. ODU Monarchs averaged 28.5 ppg while allowing 27.6 ppg. The Monarchs bring a five game win and cover streak into today's contest. They are coming off a win over Charlotte, 56-34. This team can score and getting nearly 10 points is a lot to give a high scoring team. I'll take the dog here. Play Old Dominion |
|||||||
12-19-21 | Titans v. Steelers -1 | 13-19 | Win | 100 | 11 h 15 m | Show | |
The Pittsburgh Steelers are in a must win situation here on Sunday. They are in last in the AFC North with a 6-6-1 record. They sit a half game back of both the Bengals and Browns and 1 1/2 games back of division leading Baltimore. Meanwhile the Tennessee Titans can extend their lead in the AFC South to two games over the Colts with a win here today. Neither defense is up to previous standards, with the Titans ranking 14th and the Steelers at 26th. Tennessee has dropped to 17th in offense since then leading rusher Derek Henry went down with an injury. The Steelers come in at 21st overall and 30th in rushing. The Titans are coming off a win at home over Jacksonville, 20-0. That snapped a two game losing streak for the Titans. The Steelers overcame a horrid first half last week at Minnesota and almost pulled off the huge comeback, but fell short at the end of the game in a 28-36 loss. This game really more important to the Steelers and I will be on that side here today. Play Pittsburgh. |
|||||||
12-19-21 | Jets v. Dolphins -10 | Top | 24-31 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 27 m | Show |
The NY Jets have lost two straight games as they head South to take on the Miami Dolphins today. The jets are coming off a pair of lopsided losses, both at home. They lost to Philly two weeks ago, 18-33 and then last week to the Saints, 9-30. The offense garnered only 256 yards vs the Saints and 281 against the Eagles. Won't get much easier against a much improved Dolphins team today. The Dolphins have won and covered five straight games. They are coming off a win over the Giants, 20-9. Their defense has really stepped it up, holding each of the last five opponents to 17 or fewer points. Four of those games were 10 or fewer points. I'll take the Dolphins here today as the Jets likely won't hit double digits on the score board. Play Miami. |

12-18-21 | Marshall +5.5 v. UL-Lafayette | 21-36 | Loss | -110 | 108 h 3 m | Show | |
New Orleans bowl action here today has local favorite UL Lafayette playing in their back yard against Marshall on Saturday. Marshall finished the season with a 7-5 S/U and 6-6 spread record on the season. Marshall had a very good offense, averaging 34 ppg and 471 yards per game this season. They held opponents to just 22.7 ppg and 388.3 ypg average. The Thundering Herd are coming off a loss to Western Kentucky, 21-53 as a 1.5-point dog. UL Lafayette was 12-1 S/U and 6-7 ATS on the season. The Ragin' Cajuns averaged 30.7 ppg while allowing 18.3 ppg. The Cajuns are just 2-5 their last seven games as a favorite and 0-4 ATS in their last four bowl games. Conversely, Marshall is 7-2 ATS in their last nine bowl games. I like Marshall here on Saturday. |

12-18-21 | Patriots v. Colts OVER 45 | 17-27 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 39 m | Show | |
The New England Patriots have opened up a 2-game lead in the AFC East over the Buffalo Bills. The Patriots are not only 6-0 away from home this year but are on a 7-game win streak. They head to Indianapolis tonight to face the Colts. The Colts trail the Tennessee Titans in the AFC South by two games. After that, the Wild Card at this point is surely Wild and up for a number a teams to take. The Colts have the leagues 11th ranked overall offense and 2nd ranked rushing attack. New England has the leagues 16th ranked offense. The Colts have the 12th ranked defense and the Patriots have the 3rd ranked defense. As for the total, the Colts have gone over in five of their last seven overall games. They are also 13-3 O/U in their last 16 games vs a team with a winning record. This series has also been a good over bet with 16 of the last 21 meetings going over and seven of the last nine at Indianapolis going OVER. Play OVER today. |

New England has the leagues 16th ranked offense. The Colts have the 12th ranked defense and the Patriots have the 3rd ranked defense. This should be a excellent game here tonight. The Colts are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games. I'll take the hot team with the great road record. Play New England. |

12-18-21 | UTEP +11.5 v. Fresno State | 24-31 | Win | 100 | 101 h 25 m | Show | |
New Mexico Bowl has Texas-El Paso taking on Fresno State. The UTEP Miners bring a 7-5 S/U and ATS record into this bowl game, the first of the season. El Paso has played decent defense, holding opponents to just 338.9 ypg while averaging 391.5 ppg. The Miners lost their last game against UAB, 25-42 as a 13.5-point dog. The Fresno State Bulldogs are 8-4 S/U and 5-7 ATS on the season. The Dogs finished second in the Mountain West to San Diego State. Fresno has won two straight games, including their last at San Jose State, 40-9 as a 7-point road dog. Fresno has covered just two of their last eight bowl games and for me I'll take the points here today with the Miners. Play UTEP. |

The Toledo Rockets enter today's Bahamas Bowl with a 7-5 S/U and ATS record. The Rockets averaged a nice 34.2 ppg this year while allowing just 21.0 ppg. They come in with a 3-game win streak both S/U and ATS. Their last game coming on Nov 27 at home against Akron in a big win, 49-14, as a 28.5 point favorite. The Rockets have scored at least 34 points in each of their last five games. Mid Tennessee State Blue Raiders just did get to bowl eligible with a 6-6 S/U and ATS records. The Raiders averaged 29.7 ppg while allowing 25.8 ppg. The finished third overall in the Conference USA standings. The Raiders won their last game at Florida Atlantic, 27-17 as a 3.5 point dog. They have split their last four games both S/U and ATS. I like the Rockets in this game as they have a much better offense. Play Toledo. |

12-16-21 | Chiefs v. Chargers +3 | Top | 34-28 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 32 m | Show |
Kansas City and the LA Chargers play a key divisional game here on Thursday. The 9-4 Chiefs lead the 8-5 Chargers by just one game. A win tonight by the Chargers and they pull into a divisional tie. A loss and they can let the Broncos tie them with a win on Sunday. The Chiefs have the league's third best overall offense, 17th in rushing and 6th in passing. The Chargers are right behind them ranked 5th overall. Defensively, the Chargers rank a bit better at 15th compared to the Chiefs 23rd. The Chiefs have won five straight and covered four in row after last week's easy win over the Raiders, 48-9. The Chargers have won and covered two in a row after their win last week over the Giants, 37-21. Short turnaround here tonight. The Chargers also get back Keenan Allen who missed last week under Covid protocols. I like the home dog here tonight. Play the Chargers. |

The Arizona Cardinals can take sole possession of the NFC standings with a win here tonight over the LA Rams. The Cardinals are 10-2 this season with the 10-3 Packers and Bucs on their heals. The Rams sit at 8-4 and right now looking for one of the those NFC Wild Card slots. The Rams are 5-7 ATS on the season and coming off a win and cover over Jacksonville, 37-7. That snapped a four-game spread losing streak. Arizona is 9-3 ATS and coming off a win and cover over Chicago, 33-22. The Rams are now just 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games. The Cardinals are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games. The favorite has been the play in this series, going 8-1-1 ATS the last 10 meetings. That's just the side I will be on here tonight. Play Arizona. |

That snapped a four-game spread losing streak. Arizona is 9-3 ATS and coming off a win and cover over Chicago, 33-22. The Rams have a 2-5-1 O/U record in their last eight road games. They are also 3-7 O/U in their last 10 vs the NFC West. Arizona is 9-19 O/U in their last 28 games as a home favorite. I will take the UNDER here tonight. |

12-12-21 | Bears v. Packers UNDER 44 | 30-45 | Loss | -110 | 126 h 40 m | Show | |
The Chicago Bears travel to chilly Green Bay to take on the Packers here in week 14. The Bears are 4-8 S/U and ATS with a 4-8 O/U record. They average just 16.7 ppg this season while allowing 23.9 ppg. The Bears offense has now fallen to 31st in the NFL with the only team worse being Houston. The Bears do have the worst passing average in the NFL with just 173.8 yards per game. QB Justin Field missed last week's game with a rib injury and is questionable to play this Sunday. That means Andy Dalton will likely get the start again. The Packers improved to 9-3 with a win two week's ago at home over the Rams, 36-28. They Packers had last week off and they needed it. QB Aaron Rodgers has been nursing a toe injury and used the extra time off to heal. Both these teams have been good under plays this year with both having identical 4-8 O/U records. The Bears have also gone under in eight of their last 11 overall and are 12-28 O/U in their last 40-games on grass. Cold weather, wind and maybe even some rain/snow likely all play a part this week. The Bears already can't score much, add weather and they get even worse. I'll take the UNDER. |

12-12-21 | Bills v. Bucs -3 | 27-33 | Win | 100 | 122 h 42 m | Show | |
The Buffalo Bills coming off that wind-swept loss last week to the NE Patriots, 10-14. The Bills had two straight trips into the red-zone late in the 4th quarter and came away with no points. The loss dropped the Bills to 7-5 overall and two-games back of the Patriots in the AFC East. Now the Bills face the real prospect of having to fight for a AFC Wild Card slot. The Bills have lost three of their last five games and scored 15 points or fewer in those three losses. It won't get any easier this week as the Bills have to travel to Tampa to face the NFL defending Champion Bucs. Tampa Bay improved to 9-3 S/U and 6-6 ATS with their win last week at Atlanta, 30-17. It was the team's third straight win after having two losses in a row. Tampa Bay also has the league's third best overall offense and top rated passing attack. Buffalo operating on a short week here today and against the Bucs that can only hurt. I'll lay the field goal with the Bucs today. |

These are two very good offenses and I look for this game to fly OVER the total. |

12-12-21 | Ravens v. Browns -2 | 22-24 | Push | 0 | 118 h 18 m | Show | |
Reason: Baltimore is 8-4 S/U and 5-7 ATS after losing on Sunday to the Pittsburgh Steelers, 19-20. That snapped a two game winning streak. The Ravens have also now gone under in three straight games. The Ravens defense is ranked 20th in the NFL overall, but 2nd vs the rush and 32 nd vs the pass. The offense is 4th overall, 2nd rushing and 13th passing. The Browns had last week off after losing to the Ravens back on Nov 28th, 10-16. The Browns offense is ranked 16th and while their rushing is ranked 3rd they had only 40 yards on the ground in their loss to the Ravens two weeks ago. Weather can also wreck havoc in Cleveland and right now it doesn't look too bad, but that can change quickly. I look for the Browns to use that extra time off to be fully prepared for this game on Sunday. I'll take the home team here. |

12-12-21 | Cowboys v. Washington Football Team +4 | 27-20 | Loss | -110 | 118 h 18 m | Show | |
Key NFC West matchup here on Sunday, especially for the Washington Football team. The Dallas Cowboys lead the NFC East with a 8-4 record and the Washington Football team is in 2nd with a 6-6 record. While Washington is in the thick of the Wild Card race, they could use a big win here on Sunday in this divisional matchup. Washington is hot, winning four straight games including a last seconds win last week at Las Vegas, 17-15. The defense has played much better, allowing 21 points or fewer in each of their last four games. Dallas snapped a two game losing streak last week with a win at New Orleans, 27-17. They got a pick-six late from the defense to make the final look better than it was. The Cowboys were outgained in that win with the Saints, 379-405. That's three straight week the Cowboys out lost in the yardage total. Getting four points or more looks great to me here today when I believe that Washington can win this game outright. Play Washington. |

The Browns offense is ranked 16th and while their rushing is ranked 3rd they had only 40 yards on the ground in their loss to the Ravens two weeks ago. Weather can also wreck havoc in Cleveland and right now it doesn't look too bad, but that can change quickly. I look for a repeat of their game two weeks ago, a low scoring affair. Take UNDER. |

12-09-21 | Steelers +3.5 v. Vikings | 28-36 | Loss | -117 | 54 h 37 m | Show | |
Tonight, it's the Steelers at the Vikings in this Inter-Conference matchup. The injury report isn't good for the Vikings in this one as their star RB Dalvin Cook is questionable with a shoulder injury. At first it looked like a season ending injury, but turned out to just be dislocated. Still, without Cook this Vikings team is not the same. The Vikings have the dubious distinction of being the first team to lose to the Detroit Lions this year after last week's 27-29 setback at Detroit. That makes two straight losses for the Vikings. They will have to face a Steelers team that is playing with lots of confidence after coming from behind last week to beat Baltimore, 20-19. That improved the Steelers to 6-5-1 on the season. While the Steelers are still 3rd in the AFC North, they kept their playoff hopes alive. Getting 3.5 points here today with the Steelers looks, well like a steal since they can win this game outright very easily. Play Pittsburgh. |

At first it looked like a season ending injury, but turned out to just be dislocated. Still, without Cook this Vikings team is not the same. The Vikings have the dubious distinction of being the first team to lose to the Detroit Lions this year after last week's 27-29 setback at Detroit. That makes two straight losses for the Vikings. They will have to face a Steelers team that is playing with lots of confidence after coming from behind last week to beat Baltimore, 20-19. That improved the Steelers to 6-5-1 on the season. While the Steelers are still 3rd in the AFC North, they kept their playoff hopes alive. Minnesota will also be without their star wide receiver in Adam Thielen who has an ankle injury. Even with Cook playing tonight, they will still be missing a key cog tonight and I look for this game to go UNDER. |

12-06-21 | Patriots +3 v. Bills | 14-10 | Win | 100 | 10 h 19 m | Show | |
Looks like a typical late fall early winter night in Buffalo as the weather is going to be around freezing with rain that will turn to snow with very high winds that can be upwards of 30 mph. This will make for a very interesting night between the Pats and the Bills. The Patriots have been rolling too, winning six straight games. their defense has also been great, allowing 18 points or fewers in five of those games. They have also covered all six. The Bills have been hit and miss of late, going 2-2 S/U and ATS their last four games. The defense, with the exception of the 41 points allowed to Indianapolis two weeks ago has also been very good, allowing 17 or fewer in four of their last five games. I like the Patriots a lot here tonight and will take the points in what should be a game with not many scoring opportunities. |

12-05-21 | Jaguars v. Rams OVER 47.5 | 7-37 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 25 m | Show | |
The Jacksonville Jaguars are 2-9 on the season and tied for last in the NFC overall standings. While they won't be going to the postseason, they can make life rougher on the Rams chances here today. The Jags are 4-7 ATS and average 15.7 ppg while allowing 25.7 ppg. The Jags defense is ranked 19th overall in the NFL while their offense is 23rd. The Jags have lost three straight games. The Rams need to stop their free fall if they hope to make the playoffs. They have lost three straight games including last week at Green Bay, 28-36. They have also failed to cover their last five games. The Rams return home where they are 3-2 S/U and 2-3 ATS. Neither team all that good defensively, despite the big name defensive players on the Rams. I expect the Rams offense to get back on track today and if we can get a few TD's out of the Jags we'll get the OVER. Play OVER. |

12-05-21 | Washington Football Team v. Raiders -1 | 17-15 | Loss | -109 | 15 h 24 m | Show | |
The Washington Football Team is 5-6 on the season and trails first place Dallas by 2.5 games. Washington trails San Francisco by one game for a Wild Card spot. Washington is 4-7 ATS on the season. They average 20.8 ppg while allowing 25.6 ppg. They have won three straight both S/U and ATS including last week at home over Seattle, 17-15. The Raiders are in the thick of it for both the AFC West and the Wildcard. While their changes are low, they still need every win. Vegas broke a three-game losing streak last week with a big win at Dallas, 36-33. Now they return home where they are just 3-3 S/U and 2-4 ATS on the season. A loss here today by the Raiders and they likely take themselves out of playoff contention. I'll take Las Vegas. |

12-05-21 | Cardinals v. Bears UNDER 43 | 33-22 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 21 m | Show | |
The Chicago Bears have had some extra time off before today's game with their last coming on Thanksgiving Day in their win at Detroit in the last seconds, 16-14. The Bears are 4-7 on the season and out of the playoffs. But they can still put a bump in the Cardinals playoff run. Arizona QB Kyler Murray is questionable today with his ongoing ankle injury. With or without Murray, this game looks to be one that the weather could have an impact on. This will be the first time the Cardinals will have to deal with cold weather. There is a near 50% chance of rain and while it will be in the 40 degree range, the winds will be pushing 20 mph and that not only makes the wind chill much less but the rain that much colder. I believe the weather will play a factor here today, especially if Murray doesn't play for the Cardinals. Take the UNDER today in chilly Chicago. |

12-05-21 | Vikings v. Lions UNDER 47 | 27-29 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 20 m | Show | |
Detroit Lions still looking for their first win of the season. They have had plenty of time off, last playing on Thanksgiving Day and losing to Chicago in the last seconds, 14-16. It's their third straight game decided by 3-points or fewer. Bad news is that they have scored 16 points or fewer in each of their last four games. Detroit has the 28th ranked defense and the 29th ranked offense. They face a Vikings team ranked 9th in offense and 30th in defense. The Vikings lost last week at San Francisco, 26-34 as a 4-point dog. The Vikings are 8th overall in the NFC. I don't expect the Lions to get many points here today. I'll take the UNDER and see if Detroit can keep it close. Play UNDER. |

12-05-21 | Giants v. Dolphins -6 | Top | 9-20 | Win | 100 | 12 h 18 m | Show |
The NY Giants are in last in the NFC East with a 4-7 S/U record. The Giants are 6-5 ATS and 3-7-1 O/U on the year. Won't be any better here today at Miami as the Giants will be starting QB Daniel Jones who has a neck injury. Mike Glennon looks to be the starter on Sunday. The Dolphins did have the worst defense in the NFL, but after last week have moved up to 24th in defense. The Giants beat the Eagles last week, 13-7 and had just 264 total yards of offense. Meanwhile, the Dolphins have won four straight games and their defense has allowed 17 points or fewer in each of those games. Don't look for the Giants to get much today against an improving Dolphins defense and with a backup QB. Play Miami. |

12-04-21 | Wake Forest v. Pittsburgh -3.5 | 21-45 | Win | 100 | 20 h 41 m | Show | |
ACC Championship game from Charlotte, NC has Wake Forest taking on Pittsburgh. Wake Forest is 10-2 S/U and 6-5 ATS on the season. The Demon Deacons have averaged 42.9 ppg while allowing 29.1 ppg. Wake is ranked 9th overall in offense with a 484 average per game and ranked 100th on defense allowing 427 yards per game. Wake finished the regular season with win at Boston College, 41-10. However, the did finish the regular season with just a 2-2 record both S/U and ATS. The Pitt Panthers finished with a 10-2 S/U and 9-3 AS record. They averaged 42.8 ppg while allowing 23.2 ppg. The Panthers had the 4th ranked offense in the country, averaging 513 yards per game. The defense was also good, ranked 42nd overall. I have to take Pitt here today. They have the better balanced team overall than Wake. Play Pittsburgh. |

12-04-21 | Georgia v. Alabama UNDER 49.5 | 24-41 | Loss | -112 | 2 h 47 m | Show | |
Two of the top four teams in the nation meet today in the SEC Championship as Georgia takes on Alabama. One of these teams could see itself drop out of the top four with a loss here today. Alabama could be without RB Brian Robinson Jr here today who is questionable with a hamstring injury. Alabama is 11-1 S/U and 6-6 ATS on the season. The Tide got lucky last week in a come-from behind win at Auburn, 24-22 to keep it's place in the top four. They have covered just one of their last three games however. Alabama still has the 7th ranked offense and the 7th ranked defense. They will however face the nation's top ranked defense today in Georgia. The Bulldogs have held opponents to just 230 yards per game and a very good 39% defensive red zone efficiency. They have allowed only six red zone TD's all season, best in the nation. The Dogs are 12-0 S/U and 8-4 and have scored an average of 40.7 ppg while holding opponents to a nations' best 6.9 ppg. Can't say enough about this Georgia defense and I look for them to give Alabama's offense all it can handle today. Take UNDER tonight. |
