Before that 3-10-15, that is 28 in 3 games against Memphis, Tulane and Miami U. Pretty decent teams. Then there was 49 vs 1-7 Southern Miss. Again, like UAB bad team and they performed.

Taking the TEXANS. This line has moved to 2 since I added this (Diggs out). Hey - Sometimes we get good numbers posting early, today's game, not the case. Doesn't matter because at these prices it is obvious I think Houston wins the game. 1-2-10. Doesn't matter what the spread it. I am not running to back the Jets. This team has dropped 5 in a row. Do we think they show up just because they lost to the Patriots. Deep problems at the Meadowlands that aren't fixable on a short week. Diggs and Collins are out. Expect a steady diet of Joe Mixon. Tank Dell and Dalton Schultz should produce also. Rodgers led offense has been lack luster to say the least for the Jets. 22-15-20-17-9 points in their losing streak.

ULL QB has 15 TD 4 INT and completing nearly 70% of his passes. They have a pair of good RBs that are gashing for over 6.5 ypc.

Going UNDER the total in this one. When I see a team, in this case, New Mexico State, who has given up 30,54, 50,31,48,and 30 in their last 6 games - I start to think why is this total so low? Then the total comes down even lower to the 44 point range. If we take out FIU's last game that was 10-7 and a game that was 17-10 back at the end of September, we see final score totals of 51 (L 30-20) 55 (L 31-24) 87! (L 45-42) 58 (L 38-20) 68 (W 52-16) and an opening day loss at Indiana 31-6. And yet - we now have 44s. What the heck am I missing? Maybe this is me not grabbing the proverbial low hanging fruit and going over the total. Will this just be the Aggies running the ball and burning clock? Will they be utterly flat off winning as a 12pt dog last week? I am normally of the mindset of 2 bad teams, poor play, more points. The numbers say over. Yet we see from an opener of 47.5 to now, some 43.5s. One team isn't getting to 16 tonight. 4* Total Money UNDER New Mexico State/ FIU

Taking the STEELERS. Man. I told you in Look Ahead Lines while they were playing last week. Take Pitt now. I am sure you didn't listen. Too worried about a couple bucks for a NBA first basket prop. Well. Instead of -3.5, you have -6. I still think the Steelers take care of business. Jones has terrible prime time numbers, and the Pitt defense is always a formidable unit. But you always want the best number. New York somehow pulled a 29 point game out of their butts in Seattle. That isn't happening here. This team is exactly what you see. 10 points their last 2 games at home. 15 points vs Dallas. 18 vs Washington. 6 vs the Vikings. They have trouble scoring. You want an Under?

Dallas plenty of time to stew, and get a little healthy, off that 47-9 beat down at home to the Lions. San Fran is sitting at 3-4, and have been a favorite in every game. Safe to say, an underachieving bunch. But they have their own injury concerns. Dallas HC, I don't even like to type that clowns name, is on his way out. But you would think he can muster one last stand vs a team that has beat Dallas 3 straight times, twice in the playoffs. Line has moved here as well.

Taking TEXAS A&M. What a love/ hate relationship I have with these guys. I think with NIL, these guys can absolutely get the best players with the money they have. Getting Ws, that has been a problem. But I love their new HC. Elko is a good coach. So 2nd straight road game for LSU after winning at Arkansas- bye week, then Alabama. They score a win their QB not throwing a touchdown. 3 turnovers by Arkansas helped. The RB had 101 yards. 34-10 looks like a dominate win - it wasn't. Keeping with shoddy QB play, A&M fits that bill also. Connor Weigman not inspiring Heisman hype this season with 3 TDs 4 INTs. But this is a team game, and the Aggies have a defense. Somehow Mississippi State scored 24 on them. Most they allowed all season! Maybe it was a flat spot as the Tigers of LSU loomed on deck. They lost to LSU last year 42-30, and these 2 have rotated wins the last 7 times they have met. Doesn't mean the Aggies take care of business, but hey, it works for me since I think A&M wins by 10 tonight. 4* Money Maker TEXAS A&M

Then, favored again, on the road this time, fail to get it done and lose to Tennessee. The last few games I have seen some untypical Alabama behavior. 2 losses. I am shocked guys haven't quit the team. 2 losses. Yeah. Maybe in 2 years 2 losses. Missouri is far from a great team. But they have a QB and decent WRs. For sure, we are alive for a back door cover in this one. No matter how desperate Alabama is, I can't trust them. The August Game of the Year line on this was Tide -8. Have we seen anything that thinks they should be -14? Maybe it is a square play, but until I see a good Alabama game, which we haven't seen since mid-September at Wisconsin. 4* Money Maker MISSOURI

Going OVER the total tonight. With both teams off bye weeks, I am expecting some extra wrinkles in the offense to get some more scoring. Syracuse doesn't have Cal's defense. So we will see Pitt gets close to 40 tonight. 34-73-38-28-55 on the scoreboard so far this year. SU has put 44-42-38-31 in their more high scoring as well (24-24 the other 2). Pitt lost last year so there is a little revenge angle to boost their point production. I think Pitt covers the spread, but my bets play in this game is clearly the OVER. 38-30 or in that range seems about right. 4* Total Money OVER Syracuse/ Pitt

We had TB to win the South last year at 10/1. We said to take them this year with everyone running to Cousins in Atlanta. That should be a good one next week here at Tampa vs the Falcons. Lamar and Henry really look like a great 1-2 punch right now. I also see where you want to take the home dogs based on Baltimore having division rival Cleveland on deck. But the Browns are not threatening to anyone right now. Baker is leading the league in TD passing, 71% Completions. That sounds great. How about Lamar being 22-1 vs NFC teams? Normally, I would like, who cares. What have you done for me lately. But the Ravens are consistently have a 1 or 2 schedule.

Going OVER the total here. I think we see a high scoring game here in Atlanta. Cousins seems to finding his footing in his new offense. Seattle defense is rested off their Lions defeat. 3 Straight losses for Seattle, 3 straight wins for the Falcons. Helps when you are putting up over 33ppg as Atlanta has done in those wins. But this is a tough spot with a trip to Tampa on deck. Seattle possible in a 'must win' type game with the way they have played. Atlanta defense is average at best - 20-30-24-22-21 points allowed - 18 to Pitt, who settled for 6 FGs. Another team may have had a TD or 2. In this spot, I expect 24-30 from Seattle.

That will help Watson who has been brutal this year. But you can't throw when you are on your back. With Chubb back, I expect the run game to be center stage here. Cleveland has not scored more than 18 points in a game this year. And that 18 got them a win, 18-13 at Jacksonville. But my oh my - 16-13-16-15-17 points scored.

Taking BYU. Cougars have been on an absolute mission this season. Let's just talk about the defense with 9 turnovers the last games. That is always helpful. Defense also helps win and more importantly, cover games. 6-0 ATS for BYU. Oklahoma State is in off their bye week. Have they found a run game and some offense? They have scored 14-20-19 points their last 3 games - all vs Big 12 teams. So don't get all excited about 44 vs Tulsa and South Dakota State. 39 vs Arkansas. Ok - 1. 1 game off offense. 3 straight losses also. Cowboys won last year 40-34 in OT. So a little payback is in order. Cougars have actually been out-yarded their last few games and still have wins and covers. I think you will get out-yarded when you force the other team into turnovers - it isn't a question of them 'getting lucky.' 4* Money Maker BYU

FIY QB Jenkins should be able to generate points vs this Miners defense. UTEP also has QB issues. Locklear came with the HC from Austin Peay. Was the starter, got benched, is back with McConnell getting hurt last week. Both QBs have struggled this year regardless. Locklear 3 TD 4 INTs McConnel 4 TD 3 INTs. When your defense is giving up 35ppg and 200+ yards on the ground and in the air, you are in trouble. 4* Money Maker FIU

Taking the GIANTS. Bengals continue to show zero defense. I am annoyed at myself for not grabbing the 5 or more when I did my LOOK AHEAD LINES show. Dumb. Giants at least plan defense. We can bad mouth Daniel Jones all we want - but Cincy has the much bigger problems. This is a team that is thought to get back to the Super Bowl with Joe Burrow. They play tough in losses to KC and Baltimore. Lose outright at home to the Patriots and Washington. Maybe Washington is half-way decent. Giants will put up a fight at home. Bengals with at trip to Cleveland on tap. Division rival more important than the G-Men. 4* Money Maker NEW YORK GIANTS

The loser is still going to make the playoffs. Winner gets the inside track to the Big 10 Title. As good as this Buckeyes offense is, I think the Ducks defense can slow them down a bit.

Well now to add to that, the defense loses it's two top players. Looks like their #2 WR is out. And oh, if you haven't noticed, oh I don't know the last 30 years - the Steelers always have a good defense. How about this that I read. Dallas allowed 1.1 yards per rush vs Giants on Thursday Money 24 rushes 26 yards. Great job Defense! Dallas still last in rushing defense. But when you allow 190 to the Saints and 250 yards rushing to the Ravens, a super game still doesn't help! And they can't run the ball either.

I know they play down to teams. They just want to win and move on. But we have yet to see a good game from KC. They could be 0-3 on the year. Chargers have some problems right now with overall health. Like the Under also here. 4* Money Maker KC CHIEFS

Taking MINNESOTA. Joran Love should be back for the Packers, but I still like the points and the dog here. After a pair of underdog wins their last 2 (Colts/Titans), they are now favored. Enter the Vikings who are giving up just 10 points a game (7-17-6). The Brian Flores defense looks pretty good. These guys look for real considering they were picked for last in the NFC North. If this was a 100% Love, then maybe this is a stay away. But everything we've seen from the Vikings so far tells me they can compete, and possible win this one outright. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA VIKINGS

Taking the JETS. Simple handicap for me. Denver and Bo Nix off a huge road win as big dogs. This is the Broncos 3rd road game in 3 weeks! Yes. NFL dogs of 5 or more have been covering machines. Jets are not going to be overlooking any team. The entire league just watched Washington knock off Cincy. As I said way back in Week 1 - the Jets are Super Bowl or bust. They have a little extra rest off beating the Patriots on Thursday which helps. I think we see New York play their best game of the young season this afternoon. No back to back road upsets for Denver. 4* Money Maker NEW YORK JETS

Taking the RAMS. I know that LA comes in off a huge win over the Niners. But there is no way that I am taking the Bears as a favorite. I should have covered with the Titans in Week 1. The Bears win and cover without doing anything on offense. They have done nothing on offense. I have the better HC by a mile. I have a better QB by a mile. Bears defense is solid, I get it. But we are dogs here and don't have to cover a number. Give me the visitors. 4* Money Maker LA RAMS

Taking TAMPA BAY here. Eagles dominate the stats vs the Saints and eked out a win. I think their HC is out sooner rather than later. Banged up on the OL. Missing WRs. Tampa beat these guys last year in the playoffs when Philly came in floundering. Now Tampa is off a bad loss to a rookie QB. Bounce back time as a home dog. Also like the Under here. 4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY BUCS

Taking the FALCONS. Saints were totally dominated last week. Don't look at that final score. Philly rushed for 172 yards, threw for nearly 300. New Orleans is banged up with Olave and Kimara dinged. Look. Falcons probably should have won on Sunday night. You would think, at home, and your receiver being tackled in the endzone before the ball arrives you would get a flag. But, alas. KC and Mahomes. Falcons were moving the ball well before getting away from the run in the 2nd half. Not the case here. I thing Bijan and Allgeier get the job done. Cousins is finding his groove with Mooney and London. Maybe some favorable home team calls after last week. Atlanta should win this one by more than a FG. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS

Taking UCF. I will always look to fade this Colorado team. beat North Dakota State. Took care of Colorado State. Never should have beat Baylor. I still like my Under 5.5 +145 win total. UCF KST @ Ariz Cin @Tex Tech Utah @ Kansas Oklahoma State. Maybe they get 2. Doubt it though. Prime will screw that up. He has a 2 man team with his QB and WR/CB. Everyone else is running out 22 players. And depth behind that. Knights have been slowly building to the Big 12 level talent wise. I like the coach. KJ Jefferson is a good enough QB to put up 35ppg here. UCF is scoring 40+ this afternoon. Buffalos maybe get 20. 4* Money Maker UCF KNIGHTS

Taking TEXAS. Longhorns just mashing right now. No team playing better. Outscoring their foes 190-22 on the year. They have a bye week next week. Then it gets with Oklahoma and Georgia back to back. But taking on SEC patsy Mississippi State. Blow-out. Bulldogs 4-15-1 ATS last 20 games. This team allowed 45 at home to Florida and 41 at home to Toledo! What will Ewers or Manning put up here? Let's be honest. Pencil the Longhorns in for at least a 50 spot. Does Mississippi State score 10 points? I think this game goes somewhere along the lines of 64-20. Want to dabble in some Texas FH -21.5. 4* Money Maker TEXAS LONGHORNS

Well -- Wasn't counting on our starting QB to sit out and call it a year... As I have said on Mid Day Money and the Look Ahead Lines Podcasts, betting early doesn't always get us a good number.. Rebels will probably be a 2 point home dog by kickoff. I like Odom for UNLV, a great hire to coach. If this kid hung it up during the bye week. But to do it on a Monday night. Terrible. If you haven't bet it.. Stay Way... 4* Money Maker UNLV
