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. |
