4* Total Money OVER Giants/ Packers

Taking OREGON. Well, the Ducks have seem to have rebounded from the utter beating they took at Georgia to start the year. 70 vs EWU pushes their ppg to 50 points, but even removing that one - 41 vs BYU - 44 at Washington State - 45 vs Stanford. Bo Nix has found his groove 12 TDs 3 INTs (2 vs Georgia). Ducks 29 and 27 pt favorites the last 2 matchups and won by 22 and 28. Arizona improved, but Oregon is clicking pretty well right now. 4* Money Maker OREGON

4* Money Maker NC STATE

4* Total Money UNDER Madison/ Arkansas State

4* Money Maker DUKE

Taking UTAH. These are my PAC 12 favorites. They are a printing press for us and we will go back to them again today. Let's just look at Utah vs the Bruins their last 4 games. Utah wins by 20-46-31-31. I am not saying we have a 30pt win on the horizon. I am saying we cover this number. Because the Utes absolutely have UCLAs number .4* Money Maker UTAH UTES

Taking TENNESSEE. For me. This is all about QB play, and the Vols have a monster edge. I will say the Tennessee defense is not super. But the offense will put up points. LSU is slow out of the gate. Last week LSU QB had 80 yards passing. Should have lost the game. 2 INTs, force 6 fumbles, recover 2 and 1 goes for a TD. They started out slow vs Florida State and it cost them. Mississippi State. Another grinder down 13-7 at the half as you hit a TD with 45 seconds left. Vols won against Florida and at Pitt. I like their wins better. And I love their QB and WR play. #1 offense vs a very good defense. But you need to score a few to win. I don't think, even here in Death Valley the Tigers pull it off.  Add in the extra rest for Tennessee and LSU coming off a tough a tough fight, edge road team. 4* Money Maker TENNESSEE 

4* Money Maker MISSISSIPPI STATE --- this line has ballooned. Looks like Arkansas starting QB is out. 

4* Money Maker TEXAS LONGHORNS

4* Money Maker NEVADA

Taking MEMPHIS. Maybe this is my square play of the day here, I dunno. I just can't bet on Houston. I though these guys would be good. I mean. Look at these scores. 33-30 OT loser to Texas Tech. You hit a FG with 37 seconds left and give one up at 000s, then lose in OT. Yikes. Next week vs UTSA. Down 21-7, you come all the way back to hit a FG to go up 24-21 with 23 seconds left. Deja Vu as UTS connects with no time left for OT again! You pull this one out to get even. You jump out 14-0 on Kansas as 10pt faves at home. Hey- we are good. Gas in the tank after a pair of wild OT games! 28 unanswered and you are down 28-14. It's 48-30 and you are 1-2. As a 17pt home favorite you are down 27-24 to Rice entering the 4th before the 34-27 win because Rice coughed up a fumble for a TD at their own 11. Tulane comes to town and, what a shocker, hits a FG with no time on the clock to force OT! What nightmare is this for Cougars fans as to add insult to injury, Houston kicks a FG and Tulane scores a TD to win! Now we expect them to not somehow cough up a late lead if they get one? 3 OTs in 5 games and really that Rice one could have gone OT as well. - As for Memphis. Yes, a lackluster win over a terrible Temple team. But, hello - Houston on deck - a revenge spot for last years 31-13 after Memphis had won 5 in a row in the series.  One last kick in the back for Houston. It is one thing saying - oh they play close ones, take the points. That is fine if they were dogs. They were favorites in 4 of these 5 games.! 4* Money Maker MEMPHIS TIGERS

Taking NEBRASKA. Finally a win for these guys. Took Frost getting canned and then they fired his DC after getting demolished by the Sooners. A win for the new guy leading the crew. Should make it 2 in a row over Rutgers. Yeah. I'm a Jersey guy. But this team is scoring 15ppg vs schools not named Wagner. Rutgers took a 7-0 then it was 49-10 basically at the start of the 4th. As bad as Nebraska was under Frost, they were in games. Albeit they lost in the most painful fashion. New guy calling shots. Team seams to have responded. This is a winnable game for them. Rutgers with 2 offensive touchdowns their last 3 games. Road favorite gets the call from me. 4* Money Maker NEBRASKA

Going UNDER the total. Have ben on these Colts Under because the offense is a hot mess. Same with the Denver totals. Though the Broncos got involved in a wild-one that cost me Sunday. Still. Short week. A pair of solid defenses. An offensive side of the ball, that for both teams, has underachieved to say the least. Not expecting any fireworks tonight. 4* Total Money UNDER Colts/ Broncos

Going UNDER the total here on Monday night. Did we not see Jimmy G last week as we cashed Denver and the Under? Look. I like Jimmy. The last 2 weeks has been his pre-season tune up. That being said, 1 of the last 5 between these two has eclipsed this total. San Fran always brings the hammer on defense. Tonight won't be any different. They will stymie Stafford. And Aaron Donald - with no Trent Williams. Just helps to add to the 3 and out counts.  For the trend people out there. Under is 7-2 last two here in San Fran 4-1 last 5 overall in the series. But for me - Niners defense Good- Niners offense Bad.  4* Total Money UNDER Rams/ Niners

Taking the PACKERS, again. Going for 3 in a row on GB. Like I said in both previous write ups. I like the defense. I like the run game. And you have to love the QB. Every game he gets more in a groove with his WRs. We saw an ugly win, but a win in Tampa. And as I also said as we cashed with the Ravens, this Patriots team is a mess. I have zero faith in the offense. I can't stand their OCs. Green Bay should wrap this up by double digits. 4* Money Maker GREEN BAY PACKERS 

Going UNDER. Has anyone watched the Broncos play. Let Russ Cook is basically him not being able to boil water and then he burns the toast. 11 points -16 points - 16 points. The defense has pretty much showed up every game. 10-9-17. And the Raiders. Is this an offense that screams score at will? If the Broncos get to 17 I will be shocked. And the Denver is good enough to keep the Raiders to under 27. 4* Total Money UNDER Denver/ Raiders

4* Money Maker CAROLINA PANTHERS

4* Total Money UNDER Titans/ Colts

Taking the COLTS. Had the Titans as a Best Bet last week and we escaped by the skin of our teeth. Well, Tennessee on the road, I am not interested. Yes, Indy in a 'let-down' spot after beating KC. But they had good numbers in 8 of the last 11 vs the Chiefs. And, like the Titans, were in a huge must win spot. I trust the Colts defense a whole heck of a lot more than I do this Tennessee bunch. Also on the Under here. 4* Money Maker INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS

Taking the EAGLES. Man this guys look pretty good so far. Another solid defensive performance. Home spot laying a TD. I will take it. Look - Jags a nice story so far. But this is a huge let-down spot after a monster road win in LA over the Chargers. 9pt opening doggy winning outright. I don't think Philly is a team that is getting too high on their press clippings either. Back to back road games are tough enough. TD dogs in both (before injury news). I am not buying that Jags here. At home, I get it. Again - b2b roadies and off a huge upset. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 

Taking the VIKINGS. Winston or Dalton. Doesn't matter. Saints have a bunch of injuries and banged up guys. I don't consider this a 'prime time' game so Cousins will toss 2 or 3 TDs to his better WRs and hopefully Cook gets involved with the offense if he's healthy. And where the heck are the Saints getting any scoring from? Last week they scored on a fumble return for a TD and a blocked FG that helped the cause. They are a mess. Payton must have read the tea leaves to get out of there ahead of time. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA VIKINGS 

Taking USC. So - Do I think the Trojans are a Top 5 team. Probably not. They are getting loads of help on the defensive side of the ball that has helped them to a +14 turnover margin. Wow. New HC Lincoln Riley probably loves that, who wouldn't. But that won't last all season. Good news - they probably don't need 4 turnovers to cover this number - I'll take 2 or 3 though! Look. We had Utah last week and then Arizona State canned Herm. Now you have a team off a 21pt trying to stay focused on a lost season. What kids are even thinking of staying with this program? Some might defect across the field at half-time. I'm sure the new HC will remind some of his guys how ASU beat them last year 31-16. A little extra motivation doesn't hurt. SC does like to run it and have 2 backs averaging 7ypr with 3 TDs each. QB Williams is solid with 9 TDs 0 INTs and 1000 yards through the air. A nice balanced attack. Don't be fooled by 34-13 loss to Utah. This ASU team was down 24-3 then hit a FG at 000s heading into the half. Then a meaningless TD down 34-6 to make it a lot closer than it was. UTAH gashed them for over 200 yards on the ground and 260 in the air. A 500 + yard night of offense is on the horizon tonight. 4* Money Maker USC

4* Total Money UNDER LSU/ Auburn

4* Total Money UNDER Georgia Southern/ Coastal 

4* Money Maker TULSA

4* Total Money UNDER Cal/ Washington State

Taking SOUTH ALABAMA. Ah the Jaguars. The secret must be out because this line is now -9. Not really shocking. Napier is in Florida, and this ULL is off a pair of losses to bottom feeders ULM and Rice as 9.5 and 12 point favorites! South Alabama is a 32-31 loss, just 2pts from perfection on the young season. ULL has won 6 in a row in the series and got them last 20-18 because SoAla kicker missed 2 PATs and then they couldn't get a 2pt conversion to tie. I think the Jaguars take out those losses out on the Cajuns today. 4* Money Maker SOUTH ALABAMA 

Taking OHIO STATE. Buckeyes offense starting to show up finally. 52 vs Wiscy - 77 vs Toledo. Rutgers scored 10 at home last week vs Iowa giving up 27 points to a team that beat South Dakota State 7-3 and lost to Iowa State 10-7 before putting up 27-0 win on terrible Nevada team. 52-13 LY Then 49-27 - 56-21 - 52-3 - 56-0 - 58-0 - 49-7. Do we think Rutgers gets to 10? Not happening. If Ohio State doesn't score 60 I will be in shock. 4* Money Maker OHIO STATE

4* Money Maker FLORIDA STATE 

4* Money Maker ALABAMA

Taking MARYLAND. Sparty has won 6 of 7 SU in this series, not a TD dog. And why wouldn't they be. The defense is a mess. Lose by 11 at Washington. 34-7 ripped at home vs Minny. Both as dogs. This team was ranked Top 10 in the coaches poll when they lost at Washington. The defense is terrible. Michigan State somehow goes 13-4 their last 17 games. And they have been out-yarded! That is a lot of good fortune. And you know what. Not any coming back today. Terps took care of a what I think is a decent SMU squad. Then gave Michigan a battle on the road. I think the QB can exploit the Spartans here. Minny went for 268 3 TDs last week in the air. Washington torched them for 397 and 4 TDs. Tagovailoa has over 1100 yards already. He can chuck it. Terps get it done and get some quadruple revenge this afternoon! 4* Money Maker MARYLAND TERPS 

4* Total Money UNDER Tech/ Carolina 

Taking TEXAS TECH. Both teams off big upset. Texas and Oklahoma. K-State has been a pretty good dog over the years. We will here how the Wildcats have covered in this series with 6 straight wins. They have been in dog in 5 straight! These lines have been 1-1-1-6.5-3.5. Now we are at 8? We need to go back to Mahomes in 2016 to see TT favored by 9.5! Is Kansas State the better team. Yeah, probably. But I will gladly take the points in what has been a competitive battle lately 25-24 LY - 31-21 2020 -- 30-27 2019.. 4* Money Maker TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS

Taking AIR FORCE. Everyone will run to be the under here. Not sure why - it opened at 34.5 and has been bet up! The last 3 have been 48, 47.5 and 48.5. 23-3 last year. But -2020 here at Falcon Stadium 40-7. 2018 here 35-7. AF has won 3 of the last 4 and would have covered this number in each of those wins. AF has covered 6 of the last 8 in the series. They are right up to possibly win the Mountain West. Navy was pegged for 4. AF by 20+. 4* Money Maker AIR FORCE

Taking KENTUCKY here. Too many points for Ole Miss here. Lane Kiffen is bring a run first offense. They haven't play a decent team yet. I think the Wildcats can do enough to stay in the number, and possibly pull the upset. They get their best RB back. The OL will appreciate that. QB Levis is having a great season so far. And, these guys won at The Swamp already. That was a big revenge spot for the Gators and the Wildcats, down their best RB in that one, still won outright. Stoops has done a great job and I think he gets us to the window here. 4* Money Maker KENTUCKY WILDCATS

Taking MINNESOTA. Nice winner last week with these guys. Fleck has his boys in a groove right now. Purdue QB got banged up last week in a 2pt win over FAU. Every Boilermakers game a dog fight. That wild 32-29 game at Syracuse. Opening night vs Penn State 35-31. Toss out that 56-0 payday game. Now they get double digits from the Gophers. Open at 9 and moved up. That is what happens when you demolish Michigan State 34-7 and post scores of 49-7, 62-10 and 38-0. Maybe Purdue has another dog fight in them. I don't know. I like this RB - kid has is going for 150 a game with basically 2 TDs. QB tossed 3 TD passes vs Mich State last week. 7/1 split on the year and also 3 rushing TDs. These guys might win the Big 10 West the way they are playing. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA 

Taking the BENGLAS. I am no lover of Cincy - you all know this. But this is just a tough spot for Miami. Off 2 bruising, grinding games. Huge comeback vs the Ravens. Huge defensive stands vs the Bills. A Buffalo team that had owned them. A Bills team that put up what, 500 yards of offense. 40 minutes or whatever on the field for that defense. Yikes. Now a short week road game. At least Cincy had an 'easy' game vs the Jets. This is a big game for the Bengals. Take care of business at home here Cincy! 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI BENGALS

Taking DALLAS. Are you kidding me with the Giants being favored like this? I know Copper is just 2-0 in his career, but this team does play some defense. Parsons might have 5 sacks tonight. And hopefully Pollard gets more involved in the offense. And Daniel Jones. That guy is good for at least 1, probably 2 turnovers tonight. Will be ugly with Dallas looking to churn out my guy Pollard and Zeke. But with a backup QB and a turnover prone starter on the other sideline, this game can get to over 40 by accident. Much like we said about the Thursday night Browns game on the Mid Day Money Show. Line has already shifted towards the doggy. Dallas always gets a heavy following. History says Dallas wins as they are 8-2 ATS last 10 vs the G-Men. Those were with a different guy behind center and entirely different offense. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS 

4* Money Maker DENVER BRONCOS 

Going UNDER tonight. When I grabbed this I thought we would be getting the Lance nightmare. Said Bears outright in Week 1. Took Seattle in Week 2. Have Denver here at -2.5. Then he gets waffled, and my guy Jimmy G comes in. Totally different team with him. They win. Now that being said. I still like our UNDER play here. HC will be fired after this season. Wilson doesn't look comfortable at all. Maybe he should have played some pre-season games to get on the same page as his WRs. Niners always a solid defensive unit. 4* Total Money UNDER Niners/ Broncos 

4* Money Maker LA RAMS 

Taking the PACKERS. Had them last week. Will do it again. TB a hot mess. Banged up all over the place. I said over the summer this team could have issues. They lost their center and with Brady being out all August, unders were going to be in play. We have seen it early already. Now their WR corps are banged up. Give me Rodgers here. He has now a couple games under his belt with his new WRs. Should only get better as the season progresses. Are we really buying the Tampa defense vs a Dallas team with a terrible OL and losing Dak and having 1 NFL WR on the field. Or beating Winston and the Saints with no Kamara. Come on. Aaron Jones is good. 4* Money Maker GREEN BAY PACKERS

Taking the BILLS. Short of Josh Allen not playing. This is a 10 + win for Buffalo. 26-11 -- 35-0 -- 56-26 -- 31--28 -- 37-20 -- 31-21 -- 42-17. Buffalo has owned these guys. Sometimes a team just has another teams number. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO BILLS 

4* Money Maker KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (line has climbed to 6 in some spots. I played the Colts at that number in the Circa contest - hoping for a middle. 

4* Money Maker HOUSTON TEXANS 

4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 

Taking BALTIMORE. I understand the love for Pats at home with their HC's history. Totally understandable. No way they lose as home dogs! Did you see them score 3 whole TDs in their last 2 games. Sure, the defense looked good. I am still not buying. Lamar looks like he is in MVP form. Up 35-14 and you blow the lead and lose. Blowing leads in one thing. Ravens did that a few times last season. But I am sensing a huge comeback here. Zero faith in Patricia and Judge to get the offense going, even against a banged up Baltimore unit. Ravens with Buffalo on deck and if things go haywire here, 1-2 and possibly 1-3 on the horizon. Nope. Beat the bad team Harbaugh.  4* Money Maker BALTIMORE RAVENS

Taking the TITANS. How the heck are the Raiders a favorite. Did we not see them blow a 20pt lead at home. I mean. Why do I think plenty of teams will be run out of games by the Bills. Pretty sure we saw that happen to the defending Super Bowl Champs on their own field opening night. Must win for both teams. Only one has a real NFL HC. Guess who that is. Humiliated on MNF - big time souring on Tennessee by everyone. Raiders never play good crossing time zones East. They have their own set of problems to sort out. Home dog in a must win. Sign me up. 5* Best Bet TENNESSEE TITANS

Taking UTAH. Herm out at Arizona State. That is what happens when you lose outright as 20pt favorites. Utes looking like the PAC 12 faves the were tabbed over the summer. Tough loss to open the season. But a couple of nice wins, 108-14! Should score another 20+ win tonight. 4* Money Maker UTAH UTES

4* Money Maker STANFORD 

4* Money Maker OREGON ST

4* Money Maker KANSAS STATE

4* Total Money UNDER Hawaii/ New Mexico State

Taking ALABAMA here. Also have the Under at 61 and 60. I'm guess 47-3 -- 55-0. I can't see Vandy getting to 10. 4* Money Maker ALABAMA

4* Total Money UNDER Vandy/ Bama

4* Total Money UNDER Arkansas/ A&M

4* Money Maker MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE

Taking  MADISON here. Appalachian State continues to burn the candles at both ends-- for 3 straight games. Man, just when you think you have seen it all, this bunch pulls off another win and another insane ending. James Madison comes in rested and that has to be a huge edge here. Appalachian may feel like they are a team of destiny. But I am grabbing the points. 4* Money Maker JAMES MADISON

Taking KANSAS. Cue up the Hoops Talk for this game. Totally sick of that between these guys and Syracuse. Anyways - Jayhawks. Yes. This is a a big number for a team that has been a doormat for years. But this is Duke coming to town. A team that isn't that great themselves. Temple is bad. NC A&T is worse. Northwestern. That team just lost to Southern Illinois. That's a good win? Duke allowed 500+ yards to them. Sign me up for the home team. Go on the road and beat West Virginia in OT by 8 as 14 point dogs. No let down. On the road and a 48-30 beatdown of Houston on the road again as double digit dog at opener. Much more impressive. Let us look to the end of last season also. Upset Texas, on the road 57-56 in OT as 30 point dogs. Lose on a last second FG the next week on the road at TCU 31-28. Then lose at home to West Va 34-28 after those 2 close calls. This is a young team growing. Growing pains last year late. Wins this season early.  4* Money Maker KANSAS JAYHAWKS

Taking VIRGINIA TECH. We faded these guys vs OD to start the year. But they have turned things a round by beating BC and Wofford. Don't be alarmed by 27-7 win and not covering 38 vs Wofford. They were off the 27-10 BC win and have this matchup on deck. While West Virginia was running up a 65-7 win vs Towson. That is what you have to do when you are 0-2 and coming off a 55-42 OT home to Kansas. Run it up vs a 'buy-win' team. The West Va hot seat will be on full burner after they lose outright here. JT Daniels has gone from USC to Georgia to West Virginia. He played 11 games as freshman for the Trojans! Clearly not the answer at QB. Hokies defense is the difference makers vs this. 4* Money Maker VIRGINIA TECH

Taking the VIKINGS. Faded Philly in Detroit. Will do it again here. You know what I think of the Eagles. Think they are an overrated bunch. I think Minny will be a dark-horse this year. New HC to take this offense to the next level. Should be a shoot-out. We have the better QB - RB - WR and defense. Getting a couple points is nice, but we win this outright. I don't want to hear about Cousins in Prime Time Games. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA VIKINGS 

Taking the BILLS. Man on man. We said in Mid Day Money on Thursday before the Bills beat the Rams, and we said it in Look Ahead Lines on Sunday night before the Thursday Opening Kicking - Take them now because after the Giants (who we had in our 10-3 Week 1 of NFL) beat the Titans, this game will go to 10. Hello double digits. Again, we have a good number. I still think the Bills take this one by something in the 'teens. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO BILLS

Taking GREEN BAY. We didn't pull the trigger on Minny last week for whatever reason. Guess it got lost in the 10-3 Week 1. We did cash the Bears though. And now GB will do what it does. Demolish Chicago. Getting points at home from basically a rookie QB is one thing. Getting them from a HOFer. A totally different story. Packers left for dead after Game 1. We saw this last year. And honestly - you think Fields is outplaying Aaron Rodgers. They can wheel out James Loften and Antonio Freeman for Rodgers to throw to. The guy will make plays tonight. Bears still a long way to go to be a competitive team. This game has 34-13 written all over it. 5* Best Bet GREEN BAY PACKERS 

Taking the RAIDERS. Everything that could go wrong, went wrong. Big revenge spot for the Chargers. Playing in Week 1 was huge. They got their payback. Now Vegas opens up against a miserable Arizona team headed for disaster.  This line is now 5 heading towards at least 6 and possibly a TD by kickoff. 4* Money Maker LAS VEGAS RAIDERS

You can see the Write Up in our Cincy Side picks.. I would still like this even at the 43.5 it is at now. Now OL for Dallas. Bad overall offense. Solid D that should get pressure on a bad OL of Cincy. 4* Total Money UNDER Cincy/ Dallas

Taking the BENGALS. We were doing Look Ahead Lines during the Dallas debacle watching our Under cash. I said - Have to grab Cincy off that 5 TO performance. 5 TOs and still in position to win the game. This Dallas OL is a mess. Dak is helpless with 1 WR and a RB who can't catch and their best RB on the bench. Then Dak gets hurt and this line explodes. We go 10-3 in NFL Week 1 by not laying TDs on the road. Last year we cashed the 'Boys with Cooper in Minny as a dog with no Dak. 7.5 and 8s.. I'm happy with my number. 4* Money Maker CINCINATTI BENGALS 

4* Total Money Texans/ Broncos OVER 

Taking DENVER. Uh. laying some big numbers here on Sunday. I just think it is the right play. Indy put up 500 yards on Texans on the road. This offense is better. As much as I say in the Mid Day Show.. Seattle Outright and Under, never in doubt. Broncos could have and should have gotten 30+. I think after that game, this coach is going to 'Let Russ Cook'.  I think Denver gets to 40 this afternoon. As much as I love Mills. Kid is solid. Do not like the road for him, or this team. 4* Money Maker DENVER BRONCOS

Taking the FALCONS. So this is kind of goes hand and hand with the OVER. I am thinking Rams with their extra rest, get on track. Totally humiliated on Opening Night raising their Super Bowl Banner. Bills totally dominated and it wasn't close. Rams find their offense here. Falcons nearly blew it. I think they are good for about 20 points. Best case. This is 36-27 type of shoot out and we cash both. Worse case. Rams D shows up with and this is 44-10 and we split. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS 

4* Total Money OVER Atlanta/ Rams 

Taking SEATTLE. We had Seattle way back in July at +4. What a spot. World on Wilson. Entire team of Seattle wanted to beat this guy. City ready to mug him. Now. The Niners. We had the Bears. Outright. Sweet. But, we have a little bit of a let-down spot hanging over our heads. A MNF Win. Beating an old teammate. Now a big division rival. A rival off a brutal loss. You know my feelings on Lance. I think our guy Jimmy G should be in here. But let the rookie take his lumps. Kid is not ready. And really not ready to be laying near double digits. Way to many points even with all things considered. Should be a low scoring ugly game. Give me any points here. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 

Taking NEW ORLEANS. You know we love our NFL home dogs. Especially a divisional puppy. Tampa defense looked awesome. But was that because the Dallas offense is terrible. I think so. Saints with a late come back to win, but the home dog Falcons covered. Tampa had an awful lot of FGs and not many TDs last week. We saw NO sweep last year 36-27 at home and a wild 9-0 game in Tampa. They also have won over Tampa the last 3 years here. Home doggy barks again. 4* Money Maker NEW ORLEANS SAINTS 

4* Total Money UNDER Colts/ Jags

Taking the DOLPHINS. This is really a defensive play for me. I like the Miami defense. I think offense still is a work in progress. Still working some pieces together. Ravens with basically an extra pre-season game facing Joe Flacco. Somehow statue that's 45 years old threw for over 300 yards vs Baltimore. It didn't matter. That was a joke. They will get some real NFL type players today. And honestly, I question this Ravens offense. Lamar is great. I think  he doesn't get proper respect sometimes. But this is a one man show with an occasional TE making a play. Did you see the RB play? I think this game comes down to a FG and getting points, only way to go. 4* Money Maker MIAMI DOLPHINS

4* Money Maker NORTH DAKOTA STATE

Going OVER the total. YES- this line has moved in the 4 days since we have posted it. - That is why it is good to get a weekly or seasonal package. Not just from me - but any capper. You need to get down on the best number.  4* Total Money OVER Fresno/ USC 

Taking UTSA. Texas nearly pulled off the shocker, probably should have. QBs hurt and still were in it. Now in a flat spot of all flat spots. Plus, Texas Tech on deck. Only reason I can't really unload totally on the Roadrunners is because it is their biggest game ever! Plus - off back to back OT games! Still have to like the dog here - so many Texas kids who probably never got a hello from Texas recruiters. 4* Money Maker UTSA ROADRUNNERS

4* Money Maker MONTANTA STATE 

Taking WASHINGTON. A PK or -1, now laying a FG. Unranked vs a Top 10 team. Some basic betting that I believe. The oddsmakers -- way sharper than poll makers. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON 

4* Total Money UNDER Nevada/ Iowa

Taking BYU. Will grab whatever points I can get in this one. Tough spot for sure for the Cougars. Open in Florida. Home for Big 12 Baylor in an OT affair. Now at Oregon. Beating up on Eastern Washington is nice to pad some stats. Let's see Bo Nix have that success vs a real team. Last we saw him and Oregon they were getting trucked vs Georgia. BYU is Not Georgia. But they are far from EW. Oregon revamped their entire staff. This team was a mess last year. It showed in that Georgia game. BYU is on a 22-3 SU run. Feels like a FG game. 4* Money Maker BYU

Taking APPALACHIAN STATE. 3rd time coming into one of their games. 1-1 so far. Thought they tank would be a little empty after that North Carolina game. Nope. Outright at A&M. Now - I get it. I hear it. Let-Down Spot! Eh. I don't think so. 45-7 -- 47-10 -- 48-13 -- 21-10 the last 3 years vs the Trojans. I get freaking ESPN Gameday at this so that is a bit worrisome! Troy lost 28-10 in the opener to Ole Miss. It was 21-0 half-way through the 2nd quarter and 28-3 4 minutes into the 3rd. That is with Ole Miss breaking in a new QB. Maybe the defense is a little improved. I know Mountaineers can score on these guys though.  4* Money Maker APPALACHIAN STATE

4* Total Money UNDER Troy/ Appalachian State

TAKING UCLA. Bruins offense clicking vs their 1st two foes albeit Bowling Green (I had the BGs) and Alabama State. But they had been putting put points prior dropping 42-62(at USC)-44-24- 31 (at Oregon) vs PAC 12 schools. Enter South Alabama. Big road win at Central Michigan as small dogs. We had the over there because of the poor defenses. Jags defense won't keep this within 20pts. Last 3 road games last year 60 at Tennessee  31 at App St - 31 at Troy. A little leaky on defense. DTR looking to get into that Heisman hype. 4* Money Maker UCLA 

Taking OHIO here. So we lost with Ohio last week vs Penn State. Now they get another big boy school as they travel to Iowa State. A 10-7 grinder last week vs Iowa. Baylor on deck. On the dog again. 4* Money Maker OHIO BOBCATS

4* Money Maker HOLY CROSS

4* Total Money OVER Georgia/ South Carolina 

Taking GEORGIA. Also have the Over at 49.5 for this game. Bulldogs defense doesn't look like it has lost a step. Forget about last week's game. Rivalry game. Conference game. Expecting something along the lines of 44-10, 45-14. How about a Stetson Heisman look? Some once upon a time Heisman hopeful is now leading South Carolina. 5* Best Bet GEORGIA BULLDOGS

4* Money Maker SOUTHERN ILLINOIS

4* Total Money OVER Air Force/ Wyoming 

Taking WYOMING. Cowboys looked horrible in that Illini opener. Opened as a 2pt home dog to Tulsa, then to 6.5 - promptly win 40-37 in OT after your QB had 30 yards in Game 1. So for me here - I see 24-20 .. 20-6 .. 35-27 W .. 28-14 W.. 35-26 W.. 31-17 .. that goes back to 2015. Dogfights. They know this offense. It isn't a surprise. I am also on the OVER here. Yeah, it has been under wagon, but this AF team can score. I'm think 38-24 or along those lines. 4* Money Maker WYOMING

Taking FLORIDA STATE. Yes Yes Yes. I know I said I like UL to go over their win total. But I haven't liked much of what we have seen the first 2 weeks. A game at Syracuse where you get steamed up to 5/6 pt fave and get demolished 31-7. Then, in basically a circle the wagons type of game for your Hot Seat HC, you upset UCF for the 2nd straight year 20-14. 2 long TDs called back a 2 minute drill stop save you from another road loss. Now - you get FSU. Another HC feeling the heat. They beat LSU basically in a home game for LSU. 2 straights win and 4 of 6 over the Noles for UL. But for me - I see some FSU run game here. 200 yards allowed in both games so far for the Cards. I think this team is going to take it right down ULs throats. These guys were in control of the entire game vs LSU. Don't let that 24-23 fool you. Late TDs. Wild finish. But you know what. A good team will withstand that. That is something a struggling team builds on. These guys have lost to UL enough. Time for some payback. 4* Money Maker FLORIDA STATE
