09-18-21 | Arizona State -3 v. BYU | 17-27 | Loss | -108 | 132 h 54 m | Show | |
Taking ARIZONA STATE. I faded BYU and it cost me last week. But, as a dog outright winner in the Holy War, this game has let-down written all over it. Rushing the field. All the non-sense that goes with beating a big rival. Well, Arizona State sleep walked in their game last week. This is a big game for them and I expect QB Daniels to be sharp. Also, the defense coming off a nice game, (UNLV so does that count?), but gives them some momentum here. I'll lay the short number. 4* Money Maker ARIZONA STATE |
|||||||
09-18-21 | UAB -11.5 v. North Texas | 40-6 | Win | 100 | 94 h 49 m | Show | |
Taking UAB. These guys are the class of CUSA. I thought maybe they would hang with Georgia. Looking back on it. I should have figured they would take the pay day and get ready for their conference opener. A nasty loss on paper for them, but they should take it out here on Mean Green. 4* Money Maker UAB BLAZERS |

09-18-21 | Eastern Michigan -19 v. UMass | 42-28 | Loss | -110 | 91 h 31 m | Show | |
Taking EASTERN MICHIGAN. Don't be fooled by the UMass score last week. BC played with a back up QB, and the team threw just 18 times. They also lost 2 fumbles. This is a bad team. EMU comes in off playing Wiscy. That is like your 14 year playing varsity and now playing in U10 rec league. Eagles should get it done by 3 TDs here. 4* Money Maker EASTERN MICHIGAN EAGLES |
|||||||
09-18-21 | Florida State +6 v. Wake Forest | 14-35 | Loss | -112 | 90 h 59 m | Show | |
Taking FLORIDA STATE. I'll be honest. Part of me wants to grab Wake here. And if the Seminoles held on last week, that is exactly what I would be doing. Now, we had FSU against Notre Dame. That is a tough loss. You are going to play down off that kind of game with an ACC foe on deck. But to lose like that to Jacksonville State. Yikes. That just makes this one a more of the 'circle the wagons' type game. Make no mistake. This is a 'Must Win' game for the coach and team. FSU is 7-1 SU/ 5-2 ATS last 7 in the series. I am hoping for the outright, but will settle for a cover. 4* Money Maker FLORIDA STATE |
|||||||
09-18-21 | Baylor -17 v. Kansas | 45-7 | Win | 100 | 90 h 55 m | Show | |
Taking BAYLOR. Kansas couldn't get in a 27pt road back door last week while not committing a turnover. And we think they are going to stay within 4 TDs of Baylor. Heck, we don't even need that from the Bears. But I think that is what we will get from them. Baylor has covered 9 straight in the series with an average score of 49-10. 4* Money Maker BAYLOR BEARS |
|||||||
09-18-21 | Purdue v. Notre Dame -7 | Top | 13-27 | Win | 100 | 25 h 29 m | Show |
Taking NOTRE DAME. I think the Irish win this one by double digits. This line is a joke in my eyes. Do we forget that Notre Dame was up nearly 20 points vs Florida State. That was a tough place to play that night with Bowden stuff going on. A hungry home dog. They took the punches and won the game. Here at home vs the Boilermakers. This is Purdue. A team I think is one of the bottom 3 teams in the Big 10, I mean Big 14. I understand that everyone is going to be on Purdue here. I see it already. Notre Dame defense bad. Can't stop people. I think this is a big overreaction. Normally I am an Irish fade guy, but something tells me the little green guy gets it done today. 5* Best Bet NOTRE DAME |
|||||||
09-18-21 | Cincinnati v. Indiana +4.5 | 38-24 | Loss | -110 | 87 h 44 m | Show | |
Taking INDIANA. How many people will see Cincy, ranked in the Top laying the short number and jump on it? Honestly. When I see an AAC team favored over the Big 10 I really want to grab the road favorite. But this isn't say UCF over ACC Louisville. Cincy is a team that has been beating on the Jan 1 Bowl Game Doors for awhile now. This is a pretty good program. The home dog gets the call for me though. We have a tough QB and a decent defense. I can't see this being a blow-out. This is a one possession game with whoever has the ball last probably kicking a FG to win it. 4* Money Maker INDIANA HOOSIERS |
|||||||
09-18-21 | Nebraska v. Oklahoma -22 | 16-23 | Loss | -110 | 87 h 34 m | Show | |
Taking OKLAHOMA. Nothing I have seen from Nebraska makes me think they can stay within this number. The offense is sloppy and erratic. Sooners can write in any score they want to and get to it. Let's be honest. The alumni will want to see Oklahoma run it up here. They coach will know exactly what these guys are betting on their old school. 4* Money Maker OKLAHOMA SOONERS |
|||||||
09-16-21 | Ohio +20 v. UL-Lafayette | 14-49 | Loss | -110 | 82 h 11 m | Show | |
Taking OHIO. Oh man. I had these guys pegged out of the gate vs Syracuse and they laid an egg. Then they lose outright to Duquesne as 28pt favorites! Yikes. But this is too many points to pass up. Lafayette was a team that everyone loved in Week 1 vs Texas. They didn't cover. Then last week, not an outright loser, but a 27-24 win as 26pt favorites? If you want to give up 4th quarter touchdowns, then wonderful, leave that back-door open for the Bobcats. 4* Money Maker OHIO BOBCATS |
|||||||
09-12-21 | Bears v. Rams -7.5 | 14-34 | Win | 100 | 47 h 9 m | Show | |
Taking the RAMS. I know people want to jump on the dog here. I wouldn't even bite if Fields was playing. Best defense guy in the game will be looking to feast on Bear meat tonight. I think Stats Padford. Pad Stattsford. Oh wait Matt Stafford will have a big game. A team he beat when he was on a bad team. This team has talent around him. Should be a fun offense to watch. Nagy should be canned. Could very well be on the under 46.5 here also. 4* Money Maker LA RAMS |
|||||||
09-12-21 | Browns v. Chiefs -5.5 | 29-33 | Loss | -102 | 43 h 18 m | Show | |
Taking the CHIEFS. So I will say this. We have a couple Cleveland futures working here. But that being said, give me Kansas City. Browns a super trendy dog pick here going off this line movement. I will rave about them another day. For today, this is about Andy Reid and the prep time ATS wizard he is. 27-5 SU - 21-11 ATS - Worth it at this price. 4* Money Maker KANSAS CITY CHIEFS |
|||||||
09-12-21 | Dolphins v. Patriots -2.5 | Top | 17-16 | Loss | -110 | 836 h 26 m | Show |
Taking the PATRIOTS. Here comes the Mac Attack. I thought Cam would be here, but, so it goes. This team was missing a bunch of guys on defense and still managed to win games. The Patriots will be better. I am not buying into Tua on the road. I get it - Miami HC ex NE guy. Ok. Fine. But this isn't old NE where we are laying huge numbers. This is a FG game. I think NE wins by more. Simple as that. One team out to redeem themselves and prove doubters wrong. Sign me up with the coach with some SB hardware looking to show people he hasn't lost a step. 8* Sure Shot NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS |
|||||||
09-12-21 | Seahawks +2.5 v. Colts | 28-16 | Win | 100 | 1056 h 41 m | Show | |
Taking SEATTLE. Said on Mid Day Money on Saturday to try to find Russell and the 'Hawks getting points. Now with Wentz out, this line will be on the move. Jacob Eason, Sam Ehlinger, Jalen Morton and Brett Hundley listed as QBs 2-5. Anyone vet they sign will have 3 weeks to learn the system. Give me the road dogs. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE SEAHAWKS |
|||||||
09-12-21 | Jaguars v. Texans +3 | 21-37 | Win | 100 | 1056 h 41 m | Show | |
Taking the TEXANS here in Game 1. An underdog. To rookie QB and HC who hasn't coached any football in 2 years. Give me the home team that nobody believes in. Tyrod Taylor has played for both this HC and OC before. I think people forget he had decent years back in Buffalo. Again, a guy playing with a chip the size of Texas on his shoulder. I will be grabbing some ML here also. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON TEXANS |
|||||||
09-12-21 | Steelers v. Bills -6.5 | 23-16 | Loss | -110 | 833 h 10 m | Show | |
Taking the BILLS. This line is going to move to 7 or more. Short of our QB not playing, Buffalo should put up a nice 30+ here over the Steelers. Pre-season is one thing. And I had Pitt a couple times there. But regular season - hello. Big Ben farewell tour - rebuilt OL. Shaky defense. Not buying it. Not here. Bills and their QB out with a lot to prove. Taking care of the Steelers by double digits should be a nice start to the season. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO BILLS |
|||||||
09-12-21 | Eagles v. Falcons -3 | 32-6 | Loss | -120 | 40 h 4 m | Show | |
Taking the FALCONS. If you watched any of the Mid Day Money August previews shows, you had to know we were coming in on Atlanta. I went over their 4-12 record - We know about that crazy Dallas loss. But there were a couple more they let slip away. Easily could have been anywhere from 7-9 to 10-6. The offense should be fine. The defense can only get better. Back to Philly. Hurts, 1-5 in his games last year. You really think this kid is coming into the dome, with fans, and taking care of business? I don't. And if he does. Then hats off to him. I think this is going to be a 34-10 type of game. I have no doubts Falcons put up 30+ here. I would be on the over but not sure that the Eagles help the cause. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS |
|||||||
09-12-21 | 49ers -7.5 v. Lions | Top | 41-33 | Win | 100 | 833 h 5 m | Show |
Taking the NINERS. This is probably my favorite game of the week. I am not rushing out my big Top 10* Money Bombs in week one. I know some guys come out with GOWs or GOYs out of the gate, but I will go Best Bet here. Still Week 1. Anything is possible. But San Fran is a good team. I like the defense. Like the coach. The offense is good. We have an entire new regime in Detroit. A QB who this defense knows. A QB with less talent than he had when he faced this defense. If SF doesn't win by 2 touch downs, I'll be shocked. A double digit win should in the making. 5* Best Bet SAN FRANCISCO 49ers |
|||||||
09-11-21 | UNLV v. Arizona State -32 | 10-37 | Loss | -110 | 122 h 3 m | Show | |
Laying the wood here with ARIZONA STATE. Real sloppy last week in their opener. I expect a crisp game here. UNLV is bad. Miracle that game even went to OT, but some bad play calling by Eastern Washington and taking their foot off the gas made that a game. Will also lay 20 in the first half if I have to. 4* Money Maker ARIZONA STATE |
|||||||
09-11-21 | Utah -7 v. BYU | 17-26 | Loss | -100 | 131 h 17 m | Show | |
Taking UTAH. Annoyed that I didn't grab the 6 or even 6.5 when I had a chance on Sunday. Do I think it will come down to a point. Heck no. You know me by know. If I am on a small dog, I think we are winning outright. If I am on a favorite like this, only thing going through my head is double digit blow-out. If you watched the Mid Day Money Show, you know that I like the Utes to win the PAC 12. Nothing is changing that. Love the coach. Love the defense. The team is good. Big rivalry here. For sure. People think, oh man BYU, home dog. Zach Wilson .. Yeah. Their QB is now in the NFL and their defense has just 4 starters back and the offense loses a Top NFL draft pick. What can go wrong? I know the Cougars are usually a solid club. But our guy Whittingham has a deep, experienced team back ( 10 Off 9 Def). This guy is the most underrated coach in CFB. There is a reason they are favored basically by a TD all over the place right now. They are that good. 4* Money Maker UTAH UTES |
|||||||
09-11-21 | Texas -3.5 v. Arkansas | 21-40 | Loss | -110 | 148 h 35 m | Show | |
Taking TEXAS. Jumping on this guy before the line goes up. We had Rice getting 20 and they somehow blew that game. As I said in that write up - Razorbacks were on a 5-27 SU run. And now you are telling me they can stay this close to Texas. I am not huge Longhorns guy. I thought that ULL was a trendy dog, but still don't want to bed on a new HC in Game 1. They did look good though. Again. This will go up at least 2 points. Arkansas will take a step forward in year 2 of HC Pittman, but I think there is still a talent gap here. Might be a low hanging fruit game, but we are on the road favorites today. 4* Money Maker TEXAS LONGHORNS |
|||||||
09-11-21 | Appalachian State v. Miami-FL -8.5 | 23-25 | Loss | -110 | 68 h 41 m | Show | |
Taking MIAMI. Everyone saw the Hurricanes look like garbage the other night. Why do I feel like the world will be on Appalachian State this week. Go make a list of teams that beat Alabama in Week 1, or any weeks for that matter. And then go to the score-card and see some of these Tide scores. No shame in that loss. This is game the Hurricanes should roll in. Home. National TV loss. Big bounce back here. 4* Money Maker MIAMI HURRICANES |
|||||||
09-11-21 | Houston v. Rice +8 | 44-7 | Loss | -110 | 67 h 5 m | Show | |
Taking RICE again. Well, it was a tough one not to cover last week. But I am back again on these guys. We faded Houston and will do it again. Nothing I saw changes my thoughts about these guys. Cougars on a 7-14 SU run. Give me those points - maybe even outright today! Home dog, lets go. 4* Money Maker RICE OWLS |
|||||||
09-11-21 | Florida v. South Florida +29 | 42-20 | Win | 100 | 62 h 49 m | Show | |
Taking SOUTH FLORIDA. I will either look like a genius or idiot with this play. Also on the UNDER in this game. A team is never as good or bad as the were in the previous game. And USF was downright awful losing 45-0. Off that kind of beating, if their ever was a game 2 circle the wagons type of situation, it is brewing right here. 4* Money Maker SOUTH FLORIDA BULLS |
|||||||
09-11-21 | South Carolina v. East Carolina +2 | 20-17 | Loss | -104 | 60 h 17 m | Show | |
Taking ECU. I didn't pull the trigger on these guys last as they were getting a whole lotta love. And promptly laid an egg. We had line movement early on this game and it looks to be settled. For me. When I see a SEC team laying this kind of number, I have to take the dog just on principle. Pirates are not as bad as they looked last week. And the Gamecocks, well safe to say that getting a blocked punt, 2 INTs, it helps the cause. Hey. They do that here on the road, they deserve to win. 4* Money Maker ECU |

09-09-21 | Cowboys v. Bucs -6.5 | 29-31 | Loss | -118 | 410 h 5 m | Show | |
Taking TAMPA. Now. I was ready to grab Dallas all summer at +6. No way Tampa can't win by a touchdown. Tom Brady is the QB. Super Bowl Champs. All these guys back on both sides of the ball. Well this line has jumped up way before I thought it would. But to me, as I write this on the 22nd in August, I think I know why. Dak sitting out. Tired arm. Or MRI. Whatever it is. People in the know, know it has to be serious. I am seeing a couple 8s pop up on the screen. We saw how bad this team looked without Dak last year. Even with backup QBs getting reps with their first team, it is still not facing Tampa to open the season. This might come back to bite me - but I will have to be like the public and grab the Brady's, I mean Bucs in this spot. Also on the UNDER - 51.5 as I do this write up. 4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS |
|||||||
09-05-21 | Notre Dame v. Florida State +7 | 41-38 | Win | 100 | 21 h 3 m | Show | |
Taking FLORIDA STATE. I am just not high on the Irish. And honestly, normally when we have some kind of tribute going on with the home team, I am looking to bet the visitor. But not a chance that is the case with them laying a TD on the road. The fall from grace has been tough to watch. The Noles still get recruits but the coaching had taken a turn for the worse. 2nd year Norvell has a lot of experience back. Last year was a lost cause. I say that to all teams that had new coaches and lost their practices. At least with a returning coach the players have an idea what is expected. Now everyone is on the same level. I liked this hire for FSU. I think he is going to inject new life into the program. What better than way to celebrate Bobby Bowden's life then with a win over the Irish. I might sprinkle some ML on this. 4* Money Maker FLORIDA STATE |
|||||||
09-04-21 | Georgia +3 v. Clemson | Top | 10-3 | Win | 105 | 224 h 16 m | Show |
Taking GEORGIA. I know Clemson doesn't rebuild, it just reloads. But, big shoes to fill at both QB and RB. Georgia is always a talented bunch. Nothing really to say here. I am high on Georgia this year. It starts right here in Game 1. ML +190 should be sprinkled in. Let's go Bulldogs. 5* Best Bet GEORGIA BULLDOGS |
|||||||
09-04-21 | UTSA +6.5 v. Illinois | 37-30 | Win | 100 | 224 h 20 m | Show | |
Taking UTSA. Yes. We had Illinois vs Nebraska. I don't even know what is going to happen in that game. All I know is that I see some 6.5 out here. Right off the bat, Big 10 vs Conference USA and we get, for a me, a lowish line. I know the Illini aren't a Big 10 juggernaut. But this is still a step down in talent. Roadrunners with 21 starters back! Actually probably more if you consider the depth of this team. All of the top skill players on offense are back. 6 of 7 WRs, 6 RBs, heck 4 QBs! Won't be shocked at an outright win for the road team here. Again, yes, Illinios with a game under their belt. But UTSA will be pumped up for game 1, and it being against a low level Big 10 opponent. 4* Money Maker UT SAN ANTONIO |
|||||||
09-04-21 | Baylor -13.5 v. Texas State | 29-20 | Loss | -110 | 79 h 15 m | Show | |
Taking BAYLOR here. Maybe a square play. But I have to believe the Bears can come here and win by 2 touchdowns on the road. Bad year last season. They should be able to start 3-0 with some fluff on the schedule. 4* Money Maker BAYLOR BEARS |
|||||||
09-04-21 | Rice +19.5 v. Arkansas | 17-38 | Loss | -107 | 75 h 51 m | Show | |
Taking RICE. This just looks a little high to me for Arkansas. Hogs 5-27 SU last 32 games. This team was an underdog is every game last year. Now they are in favorite position and need to win by 3 touchdowns to cover? Texas on deck. You think this is the game they pull out all the stops and run it up? They need to keep something off the game film for next week. 4* Money Maker RICE OWLS |
|||||||
09-03-21 | Old Dominion v. Wake Forest -31 | 10-42 | Win | 100 | 80 h 36 m | Show | |
Taking WAKE FOREST. Yeah. Laying 30+ with an ACC team and it isn't Clemson or Carolina or Miami. It is Wake! But call me crazy - I have been called worse. I think Old Dominion is going to be terrible. These guys are the worse team in C-USA. The worse offensive and defensive units in the 14 team conference. I said on the Mid Day Money showing with our previews I didn't think they win 3 games. Their is zero chance they come here on the road and are even competitive. They haven't played a game since November of 2019. That was wrapping up a nice 1-11 season. Maybe you think 2 springs of practice and scrimmage will help - I don't. I have about 20 starters back on Wake. Sign me up. 4* Money Maker WAKE FOREST |
|||||||
09-02-21 | Ohio State v. Minnesota +14 | 45-31 | Push | 0 | 57 h 45 m | Show | |
Taking MINNESOTA. Come on. Ohio State is a great team. I can't come in here and say why they will lose this game. But cover, I don't know, I think we have a shot here. Buckeyes very talented. And maybe they just reload and don't skip a beat with their new QB. But what I do know is that Minny brings probably a Top 2 QB, RB and OL to the battle. Granted. Ohio State defense can probably be like the Steel Curtain in the Big 10 this season. But I am just looking to pound the ball, run the clock and keep us in striking distance. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA GOLDEN GOPHERS |

08-28-21 | Nebraska v. Illinois +7 | 22-30 | Win | 100 | 263 h 23 m | Show | |
Taking ILLINOIS. Kind of annoyed I didn't grab the 7.5 when it was out there. No shot at every getting that 9 out of the gate. That being said, why is Nebraska favored like this on the road. Do we think that Scott Frost is bring his burning on fire hot seat here and getting revenge for last years home 41-23 home loss as16pt favorites? The walls are closing in on him as he has posted a 12-20 record in his first 3 seasons. A new HC in Brett Bielema for Illinois. I think the change of culture will be positive for the Illini right out of the gate as home dogs. Again, I think Frost has lost this team. The guy had a nice run as AC/OC at Oregon. Parlayed that into his UCF job. He was there 2 years. A huge 13-0 undefeated season beating Auburn landed him his dream job as a Cornhusker, the school he led to National Championship 13-0 season in 1996. But that was 25 years ago. He isn't bringing in guys- Nebraska rated 13 out of 14 teams in the Big 10 with their recruiting class, Illinois was 6. This could be more of fade of the HC and program. But things clearly look like the are trending differently for both teams. 4* Money Maker ILLINOIS |

01-24-21 | Bills v. Chiefs | Top | 24-38 | Loss | -101 | 168 h 18 m | Show |
Taking the BILLS. No Mahomes. Or a concussion Mahomes. Don't think it makes a difference. We will buy more Buffalo if we somehow start getting some points here. But as I said last week taking the Bills, this team is good. Underrated defense. A more than solid offense. A quality HC. 5* Best Bet BUFFALO BILLS |
|||||||
01-24-21 | Bucs v. Packers -3.5 | Top | 31-26 | Loss | -114 | 161 h 47 m | Show |
Taking the PACKERS. Maybe this line comes down a bit more. Everyone loving the Brady story. He got his payback over the Saints last week. Now it is time for Rodgers to get his. Bad game in Tampa. I don't see Rodgers throwing 3 INTs this afternoon. Not happening. GB can run the ball. And we know they can pass it. The defense can get after Brady a bit. Not worried about Tom in this weather. But, it is Green Bay late January and Tampa is the road team. Everything went right last week in the New Orleans dome. Rodgers is the MVP this season. He shows it here. 8* Sure Shot GREEN BAY PACKERS |
|||||||
01-17-21 | Bucs v. Saints -3 | Top | 30-20 | Loss | -114 | 163 h 12 m | Show |
Taking NEW ORLEANS. I didn't like Tampa last week, and not liking them here. I don't see the revenge angle here. 34-23 in Week 1. 38-3 Week 9. Brady has had some problems to say the least vs New Orleans. 2 TD in Week 1 2 INTs. 3 INTs 0 TDs in Week 9. The Saints defense is the real deal. 5* Best Bet NEW ORLEANS SAINTS |
|||||||
01-17-21 | Browns +10.5 v. Chiefs | 17-22 | Win | 100 | 94 h 24 m | Show | |
Taking the BROWNS. Cashed these guys last week. Granted, we got some turnovers that always help the cause. But lets face it. That was a huge monkey for Cleveland to get off their shoulders. 28-0 vs Big Brother and then cruise control the rest of the game. Baker with 14TDs 1 INT run. Efficient. Chubb and Hunt. I think they can do enough to keep Mahomes off the field and leave the back-door, and 1 score margin open. I look for Hunt to get some extra attention vs his old team. Looking for some props for him. Look- I know Reid is an absolute BEAST with extra prep time and bye weeks. But, we the regulars looking at nearly 2 weeks of rest, I am buying into rust. How about 0-7-1 ATS run for KC last 8. 7 wins and all by 6 points or less. Now laying double digits. I'll take my shot on the dog here. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND BROWNS |

Taking the BILLS. Everyone on the Ravens. And yes, they have been playing very well. But this Buffalo team is awfully good. The money poured in on Baltimore early, then shot up late here on the Bills Mafia. This defense is good. The offense is as good or better. This QB can run. This isn't one QB making a difference with his legs. Give me Bills by at least a touchdown. 10* Money Bomb BUFFALO BILLS |

01-16-21 | Rams v. Packers -6.5 | Top | 18-32 | Win | 100 | 72 h 59 m | Show |
Taking the PACKERS. Already on the Under 46.5 here, we go with the home team. Rams in the cold. I dunno. Not buying Goff, who has a 5TD 7INTs when the weather turns chilly. Chilly thumb might act up a bit. Rodgers having an epic season and looks like he is going to try to close out an MVP Season with a Super Bowl Trophy. Edge defense to Rams for sure, but GB offense should be able to cover this number. 8* Sure Shot GREEN BAY PACKERS |

01-11-21 | Ohio State v. Alabama -7 | Top | 24-52 | Win | 100 | 235 h 0 m | Show |
Taking ALABAMA. So I lost with both of these guys on Friday. I am still not sold on Ohio State defense. I don't think anything can slow down the Tide but themselves. If you watched Alabama play at all this year, you can sit there and think they aren't 2 TDs better than any time? So they didn't run it up vs ND. To me, it seemed like they were going through the motions most of the time. Now- I didn't think OSU would lay the wood to Clemson. I thought they had something to prove in their own right. Maybe the loss of that offensive coach really set them back. Can't dwell on it - time to move on. OSU with a huge chip on their shoulder, probably the number 11. That being said, I still don't think the should be in the playoffs. The win, I will swallow a huge bitter pill. But this Tide team is just too much on offense. The total is in the mid-70s for a reason. I am just shocked this game isn't double digits. I mean, 22-10 grinder vs Northwestern. 42-35 Indiana. 49-27 Rutgers. 38-25 Penn State. PSU was 0-5 before it ran off a bunch of wins over 2 win teams. And lastly, let's not forget that big hit Fields took. He'll be feeling that a day later for sure. Eye test people. Think of what you have seen out of this Alabama team all year. I'd lay 10 and feel extra comfortable. 10* Money Bomb ALABAMA |

Taking the BROWNS. Everyone down on the Cleveland. I will be buying at this price. No coaches. More Covid. I am in! As long as we have our RB's, I thin we win this thing. Look. Steelers started 11-0 and faltered down the stretch. I am not buying into this team. Especially with an inflated line. If Browns can get almost 200 yards on the ground tonight, we should be looking at an upset. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND BROWNS |

Taking the TITANS. I am just not sold on the Ravens this season. Tennessee can control things with the run game. The QB can, as we saw late Sunday, make key plays. The defense, ok. - leaves a lot to be desired. But getting points at home, we will ride the home dog. I get it. Revenge Game for Baltimore. Double revenge in fact. They lost last year's playoff game 28-12. Then, thinking payback, Tennessee got them again 30-24. Everyone saying NO WAY Titans win again over Harbaugh's guy.

Taking the RAMS. We have the HC edge here. Rams 5-2 SU vs Seattle and should be 6-1 if they didn't miss a last second FG. I get being worried about Goff and his thumb. But this is a defense first team. And honestly, the backup didn't look that bad vs Arizona. Getting points, with this defense, sign me up. 4* Money Maker LA RAMS |

Taking the BILLS. I think these guys can give the Chiefs a run. The offense is just absolutely rolling right now. Dome team outside, in Buffalo in January. What can possibly go wrong? Under-rated defense. An MVP in the making at QB. Coach of the Year most likely. I don't think Indy keeps up. 8* Sure Shot BUFFALO BILLS |

Taking CAROLINA. I get a nice live dog QB at home this afternoon. Saints already clinched the South. Scoreboard watching GB and Seattle. Seattle and Saints both looking for a GB trip up to get home field. Possible for GB to lose at Chicago. Yes, any given Sunday is the saying I believe. Extra rest for visitors off that Minny beatdown on Christmas Day. New HC will demand a full 60 minutes from his guys. And depending how things go, NO might be pulling guys for a little breather in the 2nd half. 5* Best Bet CAROLINA PANTHERS |

Last game and I am sure they will bring it. Especially against Seattle. And they get Seattle off a tough game vs the Rams. Division clinched for Seattle. This is also a spot depending on other games we can see the Seahawks pull some guys. I think SF controls this game from the opening kickoff. 5* Best Bet SF 49ers |

Taking the COWBOYS. Leave it to this franchise to lose its QB, and instead of going into the tank after a brutal run, they win games and go from a Top 10 pick to possibly 19th. The offense will score enough to pull this one out. Giants D has carried them. Total down a bit and I still like it a bit. But I think the Cowboys pull this out. Their defense looked decent last week and I think they can stymie the GMen here on the road. The pass rush has been rapidly improving. Gimpy Jones behind an underwhelming line. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS |

A tough place to play. And, yeah, Bills could be sitting some guys. But I have seen Barkley come in at QB and do a couple things. Bills in middle of a huge dream season.

You know I am sitting on COY futures even though I think the guy up in Buffalo has it in the bag now. What I do think we see is Pitt pull some guys in the second half for sure. I see 10s starting to pop up here. That would mean we get a full game of back-ups. Cleveland wins, and they are in the Playoffs. We know they can run the ball. They will have WRs back. And Pitt, again, they HAVE to rest guys. Their bye week was way back in Week 4. I can't see them going all game - not happening. 8* Sure Shot CLEVELAND BROWNS |

Taking A&M. I thought this team should have made the Playoff over Ohio State. After OSU gets trucked by Clemson and Bama wins by 30 over ND, you will hear that losing to good teams isn't bad. Except when you are 1 loss A&M. NC lost a bunch of offense to bowl opt-outs. 2 thousand yard rushers 28 TDs, Out. Leading receiver, 1000 yards 8 TDs Out. I'm all for next guy up. But next RB up has 121 yards on 80 rushes - oh its the QB. Yikes. The TAM comments alone make me think they will try to run it up. 10* Money Bomb TEXAS A&M |

Taking ALABAMA. Part of me wanted Ohio State here so we can all make fun of the Big 10 when the Tide put up 60+ on them and beat them by 45. But, we get another laugher as Notre Dame gets the 4 spot based on beating a team they just got dominated by with a backup QB. Irish do not have the horses to run with Alabama. I lost with Bama in the SEC Championship, but I think that is really a blessing. Now the Tide have been in a close game. They won't call the dogs off when they get up as Florida was fighting back the entire time. Is ND keeping Alabama under 50? Blowout. 5* Best Bet ALABAMA |

Taking GEORGIA here. So, yeah. This game opened up and I was like, oh, Cincy for sure. I like the defense. A solid group. But the Georgia defense can more than hold its own. They gave up about 20ppg. But Florida and Alabama put up 44/41 on them. The best offense Cincy faced, UCF, put up 33. I think it is safe to say the 2 SEC teams are slightly better. I just don't think Cincy can score here. They haven't faced a defense like this. Bulldogs have some key opt outs for sure. But this is Georgia. They don't rebuild, they reload. Big talent gap here. This is a near-home game for Georgia. I think they deliver big time. 4* Money Maker GEORGIA BULLDOGS |

Taking SAN JOSE STATE. Wish I had this at a smaller price as the line keeps climbing. But that makes sense. Ball State RB opts out who lead them in yards + TDs in just 3 games The defense ranks nearly at the bottom (121) defending the pass. Sparty QB an efficient 16-4 TD/INT and 9ypp average. 61% completion and he should carve these guys up with his 20th ranked passing O. HC will be focused on completely the undefeated season. SJSU should win this by about 2 TDs. 4* Money Maker SAN JOSE STATE |

Tulsa all day for me. Only losses on the year. Opening game at Oklahoma State 16-7 and a FG loss in AAC Championship Game to Cincy. Both those teams would be favorites over this slop of a team from Starksville. Nothing better than your smaller brother beating up big brother. 8* Sure Shot TULSA |

What do the Gators get for losing to LSU and Alabama. No playoff and a Cotton Bowl visit. Who knows who will be opting out for the Gators. What I do know is that this defense can be scored on. Sooners can score. Oklahoma probably wins this one. I will sprinkle ML. Let's be honest here. Big 12 had a better defensive year than the SEC. Looks like they flipped their scripts. If Georgia scored 28 against these guys when they didn't even have a QB, what is this Sooner offense going to put up? 4* Money Maker OKLAHOMA SOONERS |

I want to know how excited Texas is about being in the Alamo Bowl for the 2nd straight year. Granted, Colorado in off a loss. But they have a new coach and players who are excited to be here. As mentioned above, 5 Longhorn Captains have opted out. That's a big loss. Give me the dog here. 4* Money Maker COLORADO |

I will ride this beast of a RB to the ticket window. GB always has trouble against a power run game. Tennessee brings it like a Mack truck. Might sprinkle some ML.

Taking the RAMS. Seattle with no answers for LA. Rams with straight up wins in 6 of the last 7 and the loss was 30-29, wide right with 15 seconds left after Greg The Leg hit his first 3 FGs of the game. Besides that. We have the better team. No question in my mind. Defense a clear edge. Rams know they just need to win these last 2 games. Well, would have been nice if they took care of the winless Jets last week for us. Heck. I can't tell you what I lost live betting them when they went to even money to win after cutting lead to 23-10. Brutal. Anyway. So - in off a horrible loss.

Taking COLTS. So the look ahead was Pitt -3. An over reaction after losing to Bengals? Maybe- Look. Steelers defense missing some pieces. Their run game has been brutal, 54.5 ypg last few weeks. Big Ben with 5 picks last 4 games. A miserable 5.5 yards per pass attempt. 3rd straight short week game for Pitt. 12 straight weeks of games. An offense that has scored 19-17-15-17 the last 4 weeks Maybe Big Ben's elbow is feeling the age after an injury. On the other side of the field, Rivers seems in sync with his new team. Taylor + Hilton have been solid weapons for the offense. Defense not terrible. Road warriors get the call. 4* Money Maker INDIANAPOLIS COLTS |

Can't practice or play games in your own area. Zero motivation now as Niners have dropped 3 straight. Coach said they will be home with their families for the holidays. Last I checked Christmas Eve/Christmas is Thursday/Friday. This is a Saturday afternoon game. Yeah. These guys will be roaring to go. Arizona still fighting for their playoff lives.

Cougars with at least 15-20 guys not suiting up here. 3 of them, your sack leader, tackle leader and a pretty explosive WR, helps our dogs cause. I think the lack of games for Houston, they have played once since mid-November hurts them. They have had some extended bouts of Covid Cancels.

But BYU is a program that will be proud to go 11-1 when some teams played 5 games. Defense the big edge here for me. UCF is a pretty good offensive unit.

In 2017 NT lost its bowl game 50-30 to Troy, 2018 52-13 to Utah State. 2019- No Bowl game. Not because they were banned for giving up 50 in back to back losses, no, they were 4-8.

They are getting beat on the road by an average of 22ppg. They got crushed by Seattle last week. Then flew home, to fly back to LA. Great planning. You don't think this Rams defense is licking it chops to fly at this offense? How about the offense against this defense? Are you going to be shocked when its 34-9? 4* Money Maker LA RAMS |

Because Minny lost by 12 - or should we say, Dan Bailey, at one time the most accurate kicker in history (now 12th!) missed 3 FG and a PAT. And the Bears, who the Vikes undressed in Prime Time their first meeting, found an offense against a rudderless Texans team? No way. Not buying at all. Give me the Zim at home.

I think it will be a fitting end to the way the Big 10 ran their season if Northwestern wins outright. OSU just needs to win to get into the CFB. So we can toss out them running things up if it gets out of hand. They don't need style points. I'll take my shot with a big dog here. 4* Money Maker NORTHWESTERN |

Taking A&M. Real simple thinking for me here. Aggies on the outside looking in sitting at #4. We know that at least 1 team ahead of them will be taking a loss. Their lone L is to #1 Alabama. This is the game they need to drop a 40+ spot for some extra style points. No way they can let the Vols come anywhere near them. Aggies defense should keep Tennessee under 10 points. If this game isn't 40-6 heading into the 4th quarter, I would really be shocked. 10* Money Bomb TEXAS A&M |

Losing at home to a Minny team that left 30 something guys off the travel roster. Rutgers if anything, is feisty. Give me the home dog with something to prove. They do get mauled by top Big 10 teams.

Taking UAB here. What is wrong with this picture? We have Marshall, a team that has allowed 20 points to a team, ONCE, all season, not even favored by a TD? And, they gave up 20 while turning the ball over 6 times. That was their last game out vs Rice. A team UAB beat 21-16 with just 42 scholarship players. Maybe the line is down based on limited guys traveling for the Blazers. I am not sold on this Thundering Herd defense though. There are a couple down programs on the schedule. Think we have a live dog tonight. 4* Money Maker UAB |

Taking the BROWNS. So yeah. Probably a little bias from me sitting on Stefanski COY tickets that will net be a few thousand and a Baker Comeback POY that will put another nickel in my pocket. That being said, there is a reason I made those bets! Stefanski has changed this team around. They are good! The OL is solid. The defense is solid. The QB doesn't have to force things to happen and make mistakes. He has a pair of RBs that can carry the team all game if need be. Now the Ravens. So I am writing this Monday before they even face Dallas. But as I take Dallas Tuesday I say - what have the Ravens looked like lately? The offense looks average. I think the league has caught up to Lamar. Much like when the offense was run in SF by Kap, the OC has yet to make adjustments. We had Cleveland in the first meeting and we were swamped. Look for some payback Let's go all the way to Romeo Crennal and 2007 for a 10 win season. Sitting at 9-3, playoffs still not locked in place. What better way to reach double digits and bury a division rival. 5* Best Bet CLEVELAND BROWNS |

Taking the BILLS. What have we seen out of the Steelers the last few weeks that they should be favored here? I am writing this as Steelers lead 17-10 over the Redskins Monday and the Bills haven't taken the field. This Bills offense is improved. The defense is solid. No matter the outcome Monday night, Buffalo will be pumped to play Pitt. They aren't undefeated, but this team still has some goals it can be proud of. They hit 10 wins for the first time in 19 years last year. They string some Ws together and you are in 12, 13 win territory with some Super Bowl bound teams. As much as I hate Pitt, cause I do, I really like their HC. But the guy on Bills side of the field has a lot of respect from me also. Something tells me the weird pushing games back finally nips the Steelers heels tonight. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO BILLS |

Rodgers should be in the MVP hunt. Guy will have 40 TDs after today's game. I get the Mahomes love, but come on. We know Rodgers does it with nothing like the KC offense has weapon wise. Lions going to Lion. We had them as our Free Pick video last Sunday and they delivered after firing their pathetic coach. But, it was a real battle and we need some Bears misery by Trubisky to pull that baby out. Detroit's win streak comes to an end in abrupt fashion. 4* Money Maker GREEN BAY PACKERS |

We toss out the Tyler Luton game vs the Steelers, again, a pretty decent team, and the Jags add scoring of 20-25-29. This Titans defense isn't some juggernaut. Jags even at 1-11, are fighting every game. Too many points to pass up here. 4* Money Maker JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS |

Taking the CHIEFS. Lost with these guys last week. Should have been a near 20pt win. But it was just a fat loser. On to the new week. KC has not looked sharp offensively the last 2 weeks. Add not showing up for basically the 2nd half Tampa and the Chiefs are looking a little bland. I like the Dolphins. I like their coach. But I think this game will be a huge home dog public play. Especially with that half point looming. For me, when I see that I am running to the favorite. I think KC puts up 30 here. I think Miami offense is struggling right now. Should be a double digit win for the road warriors. 4* Money Maker KC CHIEFS |

Taking the GIANTS. I can't stand the NYG. This team looks terrible half the time. But, the defense. The defense gives this guys a chance every game. I have been waiting for them to collapse from the weight of near misses. It has not yet occurred. I don't think it will now, especially off a big road win. My dumb butt was on Seattle even before the QB news. NYG defense will shut down the Murray. HC Kliffy was totally schooled by our 10* Rams + McVay play. Judge has proven to be a good HC in his short time. Edge HC. Huge edge defense. Home getting points. Sign me up. 4* Money Maker NY GIANTS |

Taking the VIKINGS. So, I have a nice future on Minny Under Wins - But I will grab the points here. Minny just plays close games. 12 games on the year. Here are some final margins of 8 of them. 1-2-1-6-6-1-3-3 If we take out the 1st two games of the year, we have a 10 games of them in every game. Heck, their bad loss at Atlanta was basically 3 Cousins INTs. Bottom line, after getting a hang of their new OC, Minny has been tough. Where the heck does Tampa get off laying this kind of number vs a team that can score? Or really any half -way decent team. Brady looks bad at times in games. I don't have faith in their defense to have a meaningful back-door stop. Everyone will be on Tampa saying, Oh, Brady just needs to win by a TD.. over Cousins. Sign me up. Wrong. This game will be close, maybe we steal it, maybe its just a FG loss. Give me the road team. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA VIKINGS |

Taking the RAMS. December football. Time to separate the men from the boys. And the Rams are the men. Kudos for The Hoodie doing a great job with this patchwork team from NE. Pounding the Chargers and their HC (hello, I hate Lynn but still took them Sunday) doesn't really do it for me. You have a coach who coach on the other sidelines today. 13-3 Super Bowl revenge ready for the taking. For me though - the defense. We cashed Rams last week as our GOW and again due to huge edge on DL and CB. We got a pair of guys who are absolute game changers. The offense is much better than the Pats. Don't let that 40 spot fool you. This New England offense has sputtered vs real teams. 4* Money Maker LA RAMS |

Taking DALLAS. This is tough for me. As a fan, I want these guys to flame out so they get a Top 5-10 draft pick. Also as a fan, I think they can still run the table and win the division. As a bettor, I am taking any points from Baltimore. Let's not be fooled by what we saw vs Pitt (we had the Steelers). This Ravens team has been sputtering for sometime on offense. Maybe a leaky Dallas D is what they need. Who knows who is their QB this week? A 3rd stringer? Again, the Dallas offense should be able to put some kind of points up. When will it happen, who knows. This is just a lot of points to give a rested team vs a team that let it all hang out when the world was against them Wednesday afternoon. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS |

same write up from Sunday -- Taking the REDSKINS. Give me this Washington team getting double digits. They can play some defense. I have said that every time I have backed them this season. I like the coach. And again, the defense can play with anyone. Alex Smith is a hero coming back from his leg injury. If the offense can put some points up, this is a team to be taken seriously. We know Pitt plays down sometimes. Now they are in uncharted waters with a Tuesday game. So a super short week. Undefeated or not, Washington in the hunt for the NFC East crown and won't be overlooking or taking the Steelers lightly. Maybe the undefeated season weight is too much. I find it a tragedy that Denver had to suit up Sunday, while the Ravens get a free pass after free pass from the commish. I hope someone on the Pitt defense breaks Lamars leg Tuesday night. They will be more focused taking out that rival then Washington, non-conference opponent coming to town. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON |

Taking the CHIEFS. I'll lay anything less than 17 here. Denver, no matter who is behind center, has trouble getting into the end zone. KC cruised to an early lead and coasted to a win vs Tampa last week. Division game. Rivalry. Statement game to let the league know the best team still resided in the AFC West. 2 road games up next. Give the fans a nice 44-10 win. 5* Best Bet KC CHIEFS |

Taking SEATTLE. Doing this before the Monday nighter. I just can't see NYG keeping Wilson under wraps. That's it. Fade the Giants. This NYG team has been playing with fire all season. Just look at their games the last 2 months. I mean, to the wire. 19-17 at Cincy, 23-20 at Washington, 25-23 Tampa, 22-21 at Philly, 20-19 vs Washington, 37-34 at Dallas, 17-9 at Rams with late INT. Ok. so you tell me they will cover since they play it close. I see a team that is sitting 4-7, first place or not, literally in coin flips. That has to take a toll on guys. Nothing easy. I get they have Seattle in a short week here. Win, and this line probably ticks up - Lose, and I think it ticks up. Seattle has the Rams on their heels win or lose. Arizona lurking. Russ at home gets the nod for me. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE SEAHAWKS |
