01-12-19 | Grizzlies +5 v. Heat | Top | 108-112 | Win | 100 | 6 h 0 m | Show |
Memphis at Miami 5:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Heat- At the season's halfway point the Heat are even 20-20 while Memphis who won only 22 games last season are 19-22 after breaking a six-game losing streak with a win over San Antonio last time out. Miami has been impressive of late defeating Boston. Milwaukee and Houston and have a win over the Grizzlies at Memphis in mid-December. The Heat are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and the Griz are just 1-7 ATS in their last eight road games. Still, look for the Grizzlies to get the cash. Take MEMPHIS! |

01-12-19 | Colts v. Chiefs -5 | Top | 13-31 | Win | 100 | 22 h 15 m | Show |
Indianapolis at Kansas City 4:35 ET Chiefs (-) over Colts- I think by now all have realized that Indianapolis has won 10-of-11 since their 1-5 start the best record in the entire NFL the past 12 weeks. Kansas City just hasn't been the same since the release of Kareem Hunt as they have gone 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight games with the lone ATS win in the final game against Oakland 35-3 which makes me think that was their 'tune-up' game. Chiefs first-year starter Pat Mahomes had 50 TD passes and threw for over 5,000 yards and they storyline for this matchup is about Andrew Luck. But, the Colts luck has run out! Too much attention to Indy and I keep hearing how KC is 0-4 Su and ATS in their last four playoff games as host. Take KANSAS CITY! |

01-11-19 | Bucks v. Wizards +6 | Top | 106-113 | Win | 100 | 8 h 53 m | Show |
Milwaukee at Washington 7:05 ET Wizards (+) over Bucks- I just love these Milwaukee Bucks as they not only win for 'us' in clutch situations but they generally don't lose at all entering the night with the least amount of NBA losses this season win a winning percentage of 72.5 the highest in the league. Washington on the other hand is such a hoax and mixed of fractured egos that don't know how to play to win. They win quit at the earliest chance and for the most part don't play with any heart...unless they are an underdog at home. On the road they are a miserable 5-18 while when playing at home they are 12-7 SU at home. Now, they are getting points against a team off of a huge road win (yes, they are hot and playing great team basketball) while the Wizards have one of those addition by subtract deals...with John Wall sidelined more people get to see the ball and that gives them a chance. Take WASHINGTON! |

01-10-19 | Celtics v. Heat +3 | Top | 99-115 | Win | 100 | 7 h 33 m | Show |
Boston at Miami 7:00 ET Heat (+) over Celtics- Boston was expected to be the front runner in the East but have not played at that level as of yet. Now, they are on a 4-game winning streak and are 10-games over the breakwater mark for the first time this season. Miami has dropped their last two after having won eight of ten and are 4-1 ATS against the Celtics in the last five meetings. The Celtics had scored 135 points and shot 57% in last night's win over Indiana and had 32 assists all season highs. After a game like that I expect there to be some drop-off in production for Boston. The Heat won 2-of-3 meetings last year and get the money again. Take MIAMI! |
|||||||
01-09-19 | Houston v. Temple +1.5 | Top | 69-73 | Win | 100 | 7 h 21 m | Show |
Houston at Temple 7:00 ET Owls (+) over Cougars- No. 15 Houston is one of just three 'majors' that are undefeated (Virginia and Michigan) as they travel to Philadelphia to take on Temple who returns home to play their first game as hosts since Dec. 15. The Cougars have played their last seven at hone and this contest is just their second road contest. The Owls are 5-0 straight-up at home but are 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight at home when favored (which they are not here). Houston has had the best of this series as they are 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings but this is a spot for an Owls upset. Take TEMPLE! |
|||||||
01-07-19 | Alabama v. Clemson +5.5 | Top | 16-44 | Win | 100 | 30 h 4 m | Show |
Clemson vs Alabama 8:00 ET Tigers (+) over Crimson Tide- A great rematch of 14-0 teams that both finished 8-6 ATS on the season. Alabama has won three of the last four meetings including last years 24-6 win as they allowed Clemson just 188 yards total offense although they are 2-2 ATS. In the meetings for the Championship two years age the Tigers defeated the Tide 35-31 with over 500 yards offense and the season before the Crimson won 45-40. This again may end up a classic as they are the two most talented teams in college football and the points are worth taking. Take CLEMSON! |

01-06-19 | Pacers +1 v. Raptors | Top | 105-121 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 14 m | Show |
Indiana at Toronto 7:30 ET Pacers (+) over Raptors- This game has a 'funny' smell to it as the Raptors the team with the most wins in the league and off of a win at Milwaukee are barely a 1-point favorite at home. Indiana has been one of the hotter team's in the NBA having won six straight and haven't lost since December 19. Toronto is 15-4 SU at as hosts and yet they get co cred here as they have won the last four meetings an 10 in-a-row at home over the Pacers. Add that Indiana is 12-26 ATS in their last 38 visits to Toronto make this even more suspicious. Take INDIANA! |
|||||||
01-06-19 | Chargers v. Ravens -2.5 | Top | 23-17 | Loss | -115 | 15 h 30 m | Show |
San Diego at Baltimore 1:30 ET Ravens (-) over Chargers- Okay gang, which is the storyline that will remain prevalent in people's minds concerning this game. Will the populace be thinking that San Diego with Phillip Rivers who has the talent and 16 years experience to lead the Chargers to victory against the Ravens rookie quarterback who is better off running than throwing the football. These two hooked-up two weeks ago in San Diego and Baltimore (+4) won 22-10 as they held the Chargers to 198 yards total offense. One of the illusions of this contest is that San Diego has a more diverse (yes) and potent offense but, Baltimore actually has a slight advantage in total offense. There are trends to support either side as the road team is 4-0 ATS in last four meetings and the underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. But, they don't stand up to Baltimore being 7-0 ATS in their last playoff games including 5-0 ATS in Wildcard games. The believe the overall money will be too strong for the Chargers to over-come. Take BALTIMORE! |

01-05-19 | Jazz v. Pistons +2.5 | Top | 110-105 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 18 m | Show |
Utah at Detroit 7:00 ET Pistons (+) over Jazz- This matchup of sub .500 clubs who have had disappointing season's to date. Detroit is off of a win over Memphis as they had lost 12 of 15 while the Jazz took care of business last night in Cleveland 117-91. That doesn't bode well for Utah as they are 0-5 ATS following a win of more than 10 points and the Pistons are 4-0 ATS in their last four games playing on two days rest. Although Utah has dominated this series winning the last four and are 11-2 ATS in their last 13 meetings in Detroit but, that was a different era. Take the PISTONS! |

01-04-19 | Clippers v. Suns +4.5 | Top | 121-111 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 21 m | Show |
L.A. Clippers at Phoenix 9:00 ET Suns (+) over Clippers- After a start that saw L.A. Leading the NBA West with their 15-6 start but have gone 6-10 since. The lack of defense has been the Clippers Achilles heel as is evidenced by the 76 points that they allowed 76 first half points to Philadelphia last time out. The Clippers have defeated Phoenix 10 straight times including twice this season once at Phoenix already 123-119 in overtime a game in which Suns leading scorer Devin Booker who was injured. Booker is averaging 29.3 points in his last 10 games and the Suns are 4-6 but have lost their last four. L.A. Is also 4-6 in their last 10 contests and are 9-10 on the road while the Suns are 9-11 ATS as hosts. Take PHOENIX! |
|||||||
01-03-19 | Raptors +3 v. Spurs | Top | 107-125 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 16 m | Show |
Toronto at San Antonio 8:00 ET Raptors (+) over Raptors- A reunion of sorts tonight in San Antonio where Kawhi Leonard returns to play against his former teammates after seven years as a Spur and DeMar DeRozan faces his former team and he should be ready to oppose the team that 'dumped' him in the trade for Leonard. San Antonio is playing their best ball of the season and have won 10 of their last 13 after adjusting to seven 'new' teammates. The Spurs are off an emotional come-from-behind win over Boston and have dominated Toronto at home winning nine straight and yet they are less than a bucket favorite. Take the RAPTORS! |
|||||||
01-03-19 | NC State v. Miami-FL +2 | Top | 87-82 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 41 m | Show |
N. C. State at Miami-FL 7:00 ET Hurricanes (+) over Wolfpack- No. 19 N.C State has shown that they can play with the big boys as they have posted wins over then No. 7 Auburn 78-71 and have impressive wins over Vanderbilt and Penn State with their only defeat coming at Wisconsin 79-75. After a sluggish start Miami has gained confidence with three straight wins as they face their first ranked team this season. Hurricanes coach Jim Larranaga has his team 6-1 straight-up at home while the Wolfpack is 0-1 in true road games and as a matter of fact they are just 9-20 ATS in their last 29 road games. But the Hurricanes are just 11-29 ATS at home in their last 40 as hosts but the underdog is 10-3-2 ATS in the last 15 meetings. Take MIAMI! |
|||||||
01-02-19 | Texas Tech v. West Virginia +4.5 | Top | 62-59 | Win | 100 | 5 h 22 m | Show |
Texas Tech at West Virginia 7:00 ET Mountaineers (+) over Red Raiders- These two started the season in different positions as West Virginia was ranked No. 13 while Texas Tech was unranked and now, it is the Red Raiders who are 11-1 and ranked No. 11 with their only loss to Duke. The Mountaineers have struggled to keep their legs under them as they are 8-4 SU and an abysmal 2-9-1 ATS. Texas Tech is 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games while UWV has shown some life at home where they are 6-1 straight-up and have defeated the Raiders seven straight times to go along with 7-2 ATS against the Red Raiders in the last nine meetings. Take WEST VIRGINIA! |
|||||||
01-01-19 | Jazz +3.5 v. Raptors | Top | 116-122 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 52 m | Show |
Utah at Toronto 7:35 ET Jazz (+) over Raptors- Something is amiss here. Toronto who started the season 20-4 and still have the best record in the East but are just 7-7 SU in their a last 14 overall. Utah has struggled to date and is just 18-19 SU on the year and are just 1-10 ATS in the last 11 meetings including 1-4 ATS in their last five at Toronto. Part of the current issue for the Raptors is the absence of point guard Kyle Lowry who will miss this contest his eight in his last nine. Toronto is 0-4 ATS in their last four overall and 1-5 ATS in their last six as well as 7-11 ATS at home. Take UTAH! |
|||||||
01-01-19 | Washington +7 v. Ohio State | Top | 23-28 | Win | 100 | 25 h 22 m | Show |
Washington at Ohio State 5:00 ET Huskies (+) over Buckeyes- Now, this is an amazing fact...the Big Ten and Pac-12 have had their conference champions play in the Rose Bowl every year for eons and these two clubs have played for the Roses 15 times each, but have never played each other. It has been a bit of a disappointing season for both clubs as early season goals were to get to the FBS Final-4. Washington blew their shot in their opener losing to Auburn so understood the entire season that the Rose Bowl was their best option while Ohio State received their disappointment late in the season and that is a key factor. Urban Meyer is stepping down and like Woody Hayes in his final game I expect the Buckeyes to go out a point-spread loser. The field 'numbers' say fade the Huskies but they came on strong at seasons end and get it done by winning the Pac-12 and get the win here. Take WASHINGTON! |
|||||||
01-01-19 | LSU -7 v. Central Florida | Top | 40-32 | Win | 100 | 22 h 40 m | Show |
LSU vs Central Florida 1:00 ET Tigers (+) over Panthers- Now, this is one of the more difficult games to handicap as Central Florida remains undefeated in their last 25 games but will be without star quarterback McKenzie Milton who is out and will be replaced by freshman Darriel Mack, Jr. The Panthers freshman have the support of 22 seniors that defeated Auburn 34-27 as a 10-point underdog in last season's Peach Bowl win but this time they sneak up on no one. Here's where the 'rub' is on this game, LSU is ranked No. 11 and Central Florida (undefeated) is ranked No. 8 and yet the Tigers are favored. The 'public' has finally jumped on the Panthers but it's too late. Take LOUISIANA STATE! |
|||||||
12-31-18 | NC State +7.5 v. Texas A&M | Top | 13-52 | Loss | -129 | 32 h 32 m | Show |
N.C. State at Texas A&M 7:30 ET Wolfpack (+) over Aggies- I 'loved' this one right from the start as I have seen some of this talent up front and liked what I saw. I wonder if the Aggies legs have yet recovered from their 74-72 seven-overtime win over LSU upping their home record to 7-1 SU and 6-2 ATS. I point this out to say that Texas A&M doesn't take well to the road going 1-3 SU 2-2 ATS and having played just four of 12 games away from their famous '12th man.' But, it is not the Aggies offense that will steal the show it will be N.C. State and quarterback Ryan Finley who led the ACC in passing with 3,789 yards along with 24 touchdowns. A&M will be shocked by the Wolfpack's receivers speed. Take NORTH CAROLINA STATE! |
|||||||
12-30-18 | Colts v. Titans +3.5 | Top | 33-17 | Loss | -110 | 31 h 16 m | Show |
Chip's 'Guaranteed' AFC 'Highest-Rated' Megabucks Indianapolis at Tennessee 8:20 ET Titans (+) over Colts- The Colts coming galloping into Nashville riding a three-game winning streak and eight of nine and that makes this one easy as the winner is in and the loser is out! After starting the season 1-5 Andrew Luck and the Colts have shocked the entire NFL community with his and their performance this season and he brings a 10-0 record against Tennessee to the table. Luck is second behind Mahomes in TD passes (36) in the AFC and we know he will under center on Sunday. On the other side we are no so sure and I don't even know if it matters because Marcus Mariota has under 200 yards passing the past two weeks (combined) and hasn't thrown a touchdown in three weeks. The Titans have won their last four and are second in scoring defense 18-pts and have allowed one touchdown the last three weeks. Take TENNESSEE! |
|||||||
12-29-18 | Spurs +3.5 v. Clippers | Top | 122-111 | Win | 100 | 11 h 3 m | Show |
San Antonio at L.A. Clippers 10:30 ET Spurs (+) over Clippers- The L.A. Clippers should have the memory of the 125-87 blowout loss suffered at the hands of the Spurs two weeks ago in San Antonio embedded in their minds. LA.s leading scorer Lou Willams was out that contest and his presence will be welcomed. The Spurs have won eight of eleven despite losing two of their last three and are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. SA made a huge comeback last night after trailing by 22-points cutting the margin to one-point but the 'hoax' DeMarcus DeRozen made just 2-of-4 free throws in the final minute as they fell short at the buzzer. This time they complete the task. Take SAN ANTONIO! |
|||||||
12-29-18 | Notre Dame v. Clemson -12 | Top | 3-30 | Win | 100 | 22 h 25 m | Show |
Chip's 'Guaranteed' FBS Game of Year (10-1 91%) Notre Dame vs Clemson 4:00 ET Tigers (-) over Fighting Irish- I guess this double-digit price has driven more people than I expected to side with the points and Notre Dame. For the most part for the past four weeks I have heard nothing but, 'the Fighting Irish are imposters, they don't play anyone and they choke in big games.' Well if that is the case why do they have so many backers. Clemson of course had three players get caught with their hands in the cookie jar so to speak and will be suspended for the FBS tourney but I don't think it will matter that much. The Tigers are 0-5 ATS in their last five non-conference games but this one has more significance than all the others combined. Take CLEMSON! |
|||||||
12-29-18 | Kentucky v. Louisville +2.5 | Top | 71-58 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 5 m | Show |
Chip's 'Guaranteed' NCAA Bk 'Highest-Rated' Megabucks Kentucky at Louisville 2:00 ET 5* Cardinals (+) over Wildcats- Sometimes these games just fall into a pattern and if you can see it from a distance you might be able to make some money. It's a four week scenario that has Kentucky getting crushed by Duke and then North Carolina beating Duke and then Kentucky getting up to beat North Carolina and now it's Louisville turn to shine. Very quietly the Cardinals are a more than respectable 9-3 with wins at Seton Hall and over Michigan State. Wildcats just 1-2 away from home and this is their first true road game. Take LOUISVILLE! |
|||||||
12-28-18 | Bulls +5.5 v. Wizards | Top | 101-92 | Win | 100 | 8 h 17 m | Show |
Chip's 'Guaranteed' NBA 'Highest-Rated' Money Game Chicago at Washington 7:00 ET Bulls (+) over Wizards- The NBA doesn't mind these games between the leagues worst teams because one of these guys is forced no matter how bad they play to pick-up a win. Chicago is a young team that is looking to bet better on a daily basis whereas Washington is just a bunch of huge egos that just go through the motions half the time. The Wizards won 2-of-3 meetings last season but Chicago is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings in Washington and 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings overall. The Bulls will have an added boost as Zach LaVine returns and Chicago has more heart and will desire and wins here. Take the BULLS! |
|||||||
12-28-18 | Syracuse v. West Virginia +3 | Top | 34-18 | Loss | -115 | 17 h 32 m | Show |
West Virginia vs Syracuse 5:15 ET Mountaineers over Orange- West Virginia at one time was ranked in the Top-10 but as they do often they collapsed at the end of the season losing their final two games to Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. The Mountaineers open as a virtual touchdown favorite but that changed drastic when quarterback Will Grier and their starting left tackle decided to abandon their teammates a save their soon to be pitiful careers. Syracuse won five of their final six games with that loss showing just who they really are as Notre Dame (Game of Year winner) crushed to Orange like they were making juice 36-3. West Virginia has had four weeks to prep and coach Dana Holgorsen says his playbook will be wide open as he uses two quarterbacks Jack Allison and Trey Lowe III. That will leave the Syracuse defense a bit confused. Look for the Mountaineers to suck it up and win here. The underdog is 4-1 ATS in the that five meetings. Take WEST VIRGINIA! |
|||||||
12-27-18 | Miami-FL -2.5 v. Wisconsin | Top | 3-35 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 36 m | Show |
Chip's Guaranteed 'Highest-Rated' Pin Stripe Bowl Miami vs Wisconsin 5:15 ET Hurricanes (-) over Badgers- Both these clubs were major disappointments not only to their fans but to their 'backers' as well. Miami was sitting pretty the first week of October at 5-1 and then dropped their next four until closing with a pair of easy wins over Virginia Tech and Pittsburgh going 2-4 ATS on the road. That same week Wisconsin was 5-1 and then went 3-4 the rest of the way but just 3-9 ATS. This is a rematch of lasts year's Orange Bowl when Wisconsin won outright in Miami 34-24 . The Hurricanes are just 1-7 in their last eight bowl games and it seems a bit strange for them to be favored here. I figure 'speed kills' and the Canes have plenty of it and may leave the lead footed Badgers holding their jocks. The Badgers just haven't had it this season. Take MIAMI! |
|||||||
12-26-18 | Nuggets +4 v. Spurs | Top | 103-111 | Loss | -103 | 9 h 7 m | Show |
Denver at San Antonio 8:30 ET Nuggets (+) over Spurs- The Nuggets have emerged as one of the better teams in the NBA West with the Conferences best record at 21-10 and are coming off a132-111 beating at the hands of the L.A. Clippers. Now, although Denver has lost 11 straight times in San Antonio I expect them to rebound here (notice how I worked the rebound in) and play the over-rated Spurs tough. The Spurs had put together a decent spurt winning seven of eight before their loss at Houston Saturday night but, I am just not so I'm pressed with the Spurs team make-up. The coaching may be the same but the personnel is not...take DENVER! |
|||||||
12-26-18 | Minnesota +6 v. Georgia Tech | Top | 34-10 | Win | 100 | 30 h 8 m | Show |
Minnesota vs. Georgia Tech 5:15 ET Golden Gophers (+) over Yellow Jackets- The storyline here will surround the fact that Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson has stepped down and will be on the sideline for the final time with the Yellow Jackets. Johnson's triple-option has been among the NCAA rushing leaders perennially and as usual his team got better as the season wore on winning six of their last seven. Minnesota also needed a late push winning three of their final five to become bowl eligible including a final season 37-15 victory over Wisconsin. Although Minnesota will be with two outstanding defensive players they will overcome Tech's sudden attitude with the departure of Johnson. Take MINNESOTA! |
|||||||
12-25-18 | 76ers +4 v. Celtics | Top | 114-121 | Loss | -102 | 19 h 27 m | Show |
Chip's 'Guaranteed' NBA 'Highest-Rated' Megabucks Philadelphia at Boston 5:30 ET 76ers (+) over Celtics- Although tBoston beat me or shall I say 'us' up pretty good their last time out I just don't think the Celtics have 'it' this season. Granted, they now have Gordon Hayward full time but he hasn't been able mesh in the way the brass had hoped. Philadelphia has some meshing issues of their own with the addition of Jimmy Butler and sometimes they might need two basketballs on offense. This is a series in which the Celtics have had the upper hand going 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and are 4-0 the last for meetings in Boston including opening night a 105-87 Celtics romp. The Sixers have struggled on the road going 6-9 SU and 5-10 ATS while Boston at home is a mirror image at 10-5 SU and 9-6 ATS. But, I believe that Joel Embiid wants to make Christmas Day his persona showcase...take PHILADELPHIA! |

12-24-18 | Broncos v. Raiders +3 | Top | 14-27 | Win | 100 | 10 h 29 m | Show |
Denver at Oakland 8:15 ET Raiders (+) over Broncos- What a paradox as a team as 'dark and sinister' as the Raiders who will host this game in the 'Black Hole' on Christmas Eve. Oakland is in the running for the worst NFL record and the first draft pick and will be moving to Las Vegas (Stadium issues) but most likely will play next season in San Francisco. After rising up at home and defeating Pittsburgh the Raiders reverted back to form and were taken out 30-14 in Cincinnati last week. Denver meanwhile has dropped their last two to fall out of the AFC wild card hunt and will most likely end up in the middle of the pack. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and gets it done here. Take OAKLAND! |
|||||||
12-23-18 | Bulls +1 v. Cavs | Top | 112-92 | Win | 100 | 7 h 9 m | Show |
Chicago at Cleveland 6:00 ET Bulls (+) over Cavaliers- These two clubs have are virtual mirror imagine of each other as they both share the NBA's worst record at 8-25 with the exact same home (5-12) and road records (3-12). It doesn't stop there as both clubs have lost seven of their last 10 and have little hope of much improvement this season. Chicago for some odd reason (considering LeBron played with the Cavaliers) is 26-9 ATS in the last 35 meetings including 17-4 ATS in Cleveland. The beat-goes-on...take CHICAGO! |
|||||||
12-23-18 | Bears v. 49ers +5 | Top | 14-9 | Push | 0 | 21 h 3 m | Show |
Chip's 'Guaranteed' NFC 'Highest-Rated' Megabucks Chicago at San Francisco 4:05 ET 49ers (+) over Bears- Having used the Niners last week as a Power Play Best Bet 'outright' winner over Seattle I have no problems coming back with them this week. The Bears are in the same position as a number of others that have failed in the same situation, the week after they have clinched a playoff spot (Rams, Saints, and Chiefs) they all were beaten and I expect the same to happen here. If a team isn't ready mentally it doesn't matter who they put out on the field and coming off a win against Aaron Rogers doesn't help. Chicago is 1-4 ATS in their last five games in San Francisco and this season all four of the Niners wins came at home. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |
|||||||
12-22-18 | Ravens +4.5 v. Chargers | Top | 22-10 | Win | 100 | 23 h 7 m | Show |
Chip's 'Guaranteed' Money Game Winner Baltimore at L.A. Chargers 8:20 ET Ravens (+) over Chargers- There are a few what I consider 'key' factors that are supporting my position on the contest. To start with the Chargers have already clinched a playoff spot and that has been a death nil the next time out for teams that clinched I.e.-Rams, Pats, Saints and Chiefs all lost after clinching a spot. Just in general with L.A. Coming off ending a nine-game losing streak against Kansas City there has to be a feeling of satisfaction, inflated ego and contentment, all this plays into the Ravens hands. The underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five as well as the road team 4-1 ATS in last five meetings. This will be a match of strengths as Baltimore will try and control the ball on the ground averaging over 200 yards since Lamar Jackson took over at QB. But, LA's strength is their rushing defense and Melvin Gordon on offense as well as a seasoned Phil Rivers at QB. The clinching in the clincher. Take BALTIMORE! |

12-22-18 | Bucks v. Heat +3 | Top | 87-94 | Win | 100 | 9 h 43 m | Show |
Milwaukee at Miami 8:00 ET Heat (+) over Bucks- Two of the 'hotter' clubs matchup in Miami where the Heat host the Bucks who have won four straight including a convincing 120-107 win at Boston last night. Miami, meanwhile has lost their best player in Goran Dragic who will be out for two months or more and have managed a season high three-game win streak. After falling behind 10-1 to the Celtics last night the Bucks stormed back for their win and will be floating on 'cloud nine' so I don't expect full focus here. But, key here is that Milwaukee is 0-5 ATS in the last five meetings and 0-4 ATS in their last four in Miami. Defense has been the key for the Heat as they have held the Bucks to 88.3 points per game. Take MIAMI! |
|||||||
12-22-18 | North Carolina v. Kentucky +2.5 | Top | 72-80 | Win | 100 | 17 h 18 m | Show |
Chip's 'Guaranteed' NCAA 'Highest-Rated' Megabucks Kentucky vs North Carolina 5:15 ET Wildcats (+) over Tar Heels- Without a doubt this selection will be 'against the gain' for so many reasons starting with Kentucky's 3-9-2 ATS record against the Tar Heels. Both No. 9 North Carolina and the No. 19 Wildcats are 8-2 with KU coming in at 4-6 ATS while NC is 5-3-2 ATS. Kentucky opened their season getting pounded by Duke 118-74 (the largest KU loss ever) and only a 1-point loss at Seton Hall is their only blemish since going 8-1. NC was 'our' Highest-rated' Megabucks winner last week over Gonzaga and this week they fall to the Wildcats. Carolina has a 24-15 series lead but the Cats are 5-3 since John Calipari to the reins. Take KENTUCKY! |

12-21-18 | Bucks +1.5 v. Celtics | Top | 120-107 | Win | 100 | 9 h 44 m | Show |
Milwaukee at Boston 8:00 ET Bucks (+) over Celtics- How things have changed in the odds-makers eyes since the 2018 NBA playoffs when Boston was pounding the rest of the league. The Celtics and Milwaukee met in last year's post season and Boston was favored by 5-points and now are favored by less than a 3-point bucket. This gets more of my attention as we see the Bucks are 0-6 ATS in their last six trips to Boston and 2-9 ATS in the last 11 meetings. With these obvious trends the 'price' should be getting larger not smaller. Take MILWAUKEE! |

Dallas at L.A. Clippers 10:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Clippers- After quick starts to the season these two are moving back to the pack as Dallas has lost their last three straight-up and are 0-4 ATS in their last four while Los Angeles dropped their last four, seven of their last nine and are 1-6 ATS in their last seven. The Clippers started 15-6 and were leading the West while the Mavericks had won 12 of 15 before their recent slide. Although the Clippers have won the last three meetings the Mavs are 5-1-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. After 10 season's in Los Angeles center DeAndre Jordan returns to the Staples Center with the Mavericks and The Clippers will be without Lou Williams again. Take DALLAS! |

12-19-18 | Nets v. Bulls +2 | Top | 96-93 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 40 m | Show |
Brooklyn at Chicago 8:00 ET Bulls (+) over Nets- Like I said before Brooklyn's win last night over the Lakers, 'Break-up the Nets!' They have won six straight games and are favored on the road for what seems like the first time since forever, This win streak comes on the heels of an eight game win streak as they are off of their 115-110 over the Lakers to go 3-0 on their home stand. Jim Boylen Chicago's 'new' coach is 2-5 since taking over but is pleased with the Bulls competitive nature although they have lost 11 of 13. With the way Brooklyn is playing along with Chicago's talent level the 'line' here is very shallow. Consider the Nets are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings makes this look too inviting. Take CHICAGO! |

12-19-18 | Ohio v. San Diego State +3 | Top | 27-0 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 8 m | Show |
Ohio vs San Diego State 8:00 ET Aztecs (+) over Bobcats- Okay, 'we' have some issues about this game with Ohio from the Mid-American Conference being favored. As it is, the MAC has had one of the worst bowl results than any other conference even worse than the Big-Ten and have already lost with Northern Illinois this time around. San Diego State who at one time was 6-1 has lost their last three and five of six and are 1-6 ATS in their last seven contests. The Aztecs were beset with injuries to key personal who have returned for this contest. Ohio who runs the ball for the most part will be up against the Aztecs defense that ranks fourth nationally in rushing defense. Take SAN DIEGO STATE! |

12-18-18 | Mavs +5 v. Nuggets | Top | 118-126 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 56 m | Show |
Dallas at Denver 9:00 ET Mavericks (+) over Nuggets- Don't look now but it is the Nuggets that own the best record in the west as they have won 10 of their last 12 including their last three as they host the Mavericks who have dropped their last two. Those two losses followed as span of 12 wins in 15 games. Dallas is capable and although they have lost four straight at Denver they are a rejuvenated team this season. The Paradox is that the Nuggets are 6-0 ATS in their last six home games but Dallas is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. It's a spot for the Mavericks to buck the Nuggets. Take DALLAS! |

Buffalo at Syracuse 7:00 ET Orange (-) over Bulls- Boy, does this match-up have an odd look. Here, is SUNY Buffalo (10-0) undefeated and ranked No.15 while floundering Syracuse (7-3) is reeling after losing outright 68-62 as a 10-point favorite against Old Dominion. In that loss the Orange blew a 13-point lead and were outscored by 16 in the second half. Buffalo dropped an 81-74 decision at Syracuse last season and claimed that they had a better team. Well, they will not be able to sneak up on the orange tonight. Take SYRACUSE! |

L.A. Lakers at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Nets (+) over Lakers- Break up the Nets...Brooklyn in the '50s used to cry about breaking up the New York Yankees and now it is the Nets who dominate the floor winning five straight and ready to take on LeBron James and the Lakers. To start with we have to understand the NBA player's psych as they travel the country week in and week out. But , some times they only get to visit their favorite destination a limited number of times and the Los Angeles Lakers don't make it to NYC that often. For a team that has had Brooklyn's number in recent seasons this is a very short 'number,' they aren't giving the Lakers much room although they are 12-3-3 ATS in their last 18 visits to Brooklyn. Hangover city for LA or we don't have a chance. Take the NETS! |

New Orleans at Carolina 8:15 ET Panthers (+) over Saints- Carolina's year has been a 'Tale of Two Seasons.' It was five short weeks ago the halfway point in the season and the Panthers were riding high on the arm and legs of Cam Newton and they have lost five straight four of which were on the road. New Orleans has already clinched the division and is battling the Rams for the conference lead. Carolina will close the season at New Orleans and will need to start here first. They are 5-1 SU at home and the underdog is7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take the PANTHERS! |

Chip's 'Guaranteed' NBA 'Top-Rated' Megabucks Sacramento at Minnesota 8:05 ET Timberwolves (-) over Kings- Hey wots-up with this...I would think with the way Sacramento is playing not just covering the spread but dominating their opponents, the Kings have already won the first two meetings both In Sacramento 141-130- and 121-110 so this will be the Wolves first crack at them as hosts. The Kings have won six of their last seven with the only loss was bowing to the Warriors but are 7-1 ATS in the last eight and yet they are a heavy underdog against a Minnesota team that has lost four in-a-row. Sacramento is 0-5 ATS playing with no rest and they are off of a win at Dallas Sunday. Add the Minnesota is 4-1 ATS in their last five home games. If Smells like payback to me!...Take the TIMBERWOLVES! |

Phoenix at New York Knicks 7:00 ET Suns (+) over Knicks- With the return Devin Booker of the Suns have won back-to-back games for the first time this season following a 10-game losing streak. Phoenix who is 0-5 ATS in their last five road games will be without Trevor Ariza who was traded over the weekend but are 6-2 ATS in their last eight trips to Madison Square Garden. If you consider the points allowed (+3) for the home court advantage the odds-makers are rating the Suns higher than the Knicks. This 'line' would have Phoenix favored if this game was played on a neutral site. Take the SUNS! |

L.A. Lakers at Washington 6:00 ET Wizards (+) over Lakers- The Wizards have lost four straight and haven't won since their mini 3-game winning streak when the defeated such powerhouses as Atlanta, Brooklyn and New York. The Lakers after a slow start have won seven of their last nine and they are off last night's 128-100 romp over Charlotte where both LeBron James and Lonzo Ball had triple-doubles. That is the first time teammates had triple-doubles in the same game in 36 years. Washington just pulled off a trade and acquired Trevor Ariza from the Suns and he should help with their 3-point shooting currently at 32.8%. Considering that L.A. Is 12-5-1 in their last 18 meetings in Washington this line is way too low. Looks like a 'come-get-me' to me. Take WASHINGTON! |

Chip's 'Guaranteed' AFC Game of Year (9-1 90%) New England at Pittsburgh 4:25 ET Steelers (+) over Patriots- Pittsburgh had a shaky start to the season opening 1-2-1 and then reeled off six straight wins to take command at 7-2-1. But, since then, they have dropped three straight and now hold just a half-game lead over the charging Ravens. New England of course is still steady and it took a freaky last play of the game touchdown to beat them last week in Miami. Tom Brady always seems to be at his best when up against 'name' quarterbacks and is 5-0 the last five meetings including twice last season and has 25 TD's and only four interceptions in 10 career games against Pittsburgh. Find and good, but, the Steelers are 8-1 ATS at home as an underdog off a loss. New England is just 3-4 SU and ATS on the road go down here. Take PITTSBURGH! |

Seattle at San Francisco 4:05 ET 49ers (+) over Seahawks- Now let me step back and get a good look at this scenario. From what I've seen out of Seattle the past four weeks is nothing but wins and 'covers.' the Seahawks are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 games including a 43-16 beatdown of San Francisco two weeks ago at home. The Niners have struggled once again although they gone the outright win over Denver last week they are were 1-5 ATS in the pervious six. Then I look at the series between these two and see the Seahawks with nine straight wins and wonder why this line opened so low and got lower. With Kansas City up at home next week Seattle will get caught peeking. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

Cleveland at Denver 8:20 ET Broncos (+) over Browns- Okay, here we go...I kept hearing that the Browns are closing in on a playoff spot despite their 5-7-1 record. A mighty improvement over the past few years as they finally dumped their 'dead-weight' coach Hue Jackson who is now helping with the dismantling of the Bengals. Denver is also in the mix after three straight wins but the loss to the Niners last week have them is dire need of a win here. A win last week for Cleveland was their third in four games but they have followed five wins by going 1-4 ATS the next time out. Denver is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings...take the BRONCOS! (PS- Don't miss Chip's AFC Game of the Year (9-1 90%) on Sunday! |

Chip's 'Guaranteed' NCAA 'Highest-Rated' Megabucks Gonzaga at North Carolina 7:00 ET Tar Heels (-) over Bulldogs- Gonzaga has been impressive at 9-1 with wins over Duke, Arizona Washington and Creighton while their lone loss was to Tennessee on a neutral floor. The Bulldogs loss to the Vols dropped them out of the college top spot in the nation and Kansas moved in to No. 1. North Carolina has a pair of losses to Texas and to No. 5 Michigan. One thing that happens often in college or even professional sports is after a team has their 'mojo' disrupted it takes them a game or two to regain their momentum and confidence. Two season's ago the Tar Heels got the best of Gonzaga in the Final-4 Championship game 71-65 and will do it again as Roy Williams has criticized his team's effort of late and I'm sure they will respond here. Take NORTH CAROLINA! |

Chip's 'Guaranteed' Las Vegas Bowl Winner Arizona State vs. Fresno State 3:30 ET Sun Devils (+) over Bulldogs- Fresno State enters Las Vegas winners of their last three and nine of 10 including the Mountain West Championship overtime 19-16 win over Boise State. With seven wins and a trip to a bowl game most are surprised Herm Edwards was able to pull off a successful first season at Arizona State and they enter with four wins tin their last five. Normally, I'm concerned about the MWC's ability to stay with the Pac-12 but the Sun Devils have been a piece of cake for the inferior conference going 1-6 ATS in the last seven meetings. ASU's leading receiver will skip this game and that will put the ball in the hands of All Pac-12 running back Eno Benjamin who had 277 carries for 1,524 yards. Take ARIZONA STATE! |

Villanova is off a loss to Big-5 rival Penn their first loss in the series in 25 games and in part, the Wildcats issues in that loss might be keyed to the fact that they were looking ahead to this contest. Kansas is 4-0 at home but is just 1-3 ATS but will be without center Udoka Azuibuike and that will weaken their interior. Villanova is 15-6 ATS in their last 21 games and will come to play here.

Portland has dropped their last two games, 7-of-10 and after a 10-3 start is reeling as they have won just five of their last 15 games. The status of the Raptors Kawhi Leonard who has missed the past two games doesn't hurt the balance of this Toronto squad that is well balanced. Although the Raptors has swept the two-game series in each of the last three seasons they are just 3-7 ATS in the last 10 meetings in Portland. Take the TRAILBLAZERS! |

At 10-3 Los Angeles (Don't I mean San Diego) has become a formidable for for the AFC leading Chiefs. Kansas City is undefeated at home at 6-0 but just 3-3 ATS while the Chargers are 5- straight and AATS on the road. Although LA is 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings the road team is 6-1 ATS and it is time for Philip Rivers take up when it counts and show the young phenom Mahomes what a veteran can do.

The Grizzlies after a quick start have lost six of nine while the Blazers have lost seven of their last 10. Memphis will have a hampered Mike Conley who injured his hamstring against the Nuggets is expected to play but his effectiveness is to be questioned. The Memphis offense has slowed down a bit scoring less than 100 points in five of their last six games. Take PORTLAND! |

The Buffaloes are 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS in their last five and while New Mexico has dropped their last two getting blown out by St. Mary's and New Mexico State going 1-4 ATS in their last five. The Buffs won (-7.5) 75-57 as hosts last year and I expect the most solid reason I can give is that turn-about-is-fair-pay. Nah, Lobos light-up 3-pointers tonight...take NEW MEXICO! |

Portland at Houston 8:00 ET Rockets (+) over Trailblazers- The Houston Rockets have lost seven of their last nine games and have 14 losses this season which is just three shy of all the losses they accumulated last season. The issue with the Rockets is no longer the presence of Carmelo Anthony but their lack of defense (29th) and meager contribution by the bench which is dead last (28.2) in NBA scoring. Portland opened the year with a 104-85 in a game they never trailed. Portland has won their last two after losing six of their previous seven and but have lost seven of the last nine meetings including the win this season. The Trailblazers have struggled on the road trail losing their last four and are just 4-8 ATS allowing 115.2 points per contest. It is time for the Rockets to take off and blast Portland here.

Even with their loss last night the Rams have the division clinched and Seattle is scraping for a Wild Card spot. At 6-5 Minnesota has a half-game lead over Philadelphia, Washington and Carolina and have alternated wins and losses the last five games. The Vikings have struggled against 'better' competition as they are 1-7 ATS in their last eight against teams with winning records. Seattle has won the last four meetings but Russell Wilson is trowing for a career low 226 yards a game. Take MINNESOTA! |

Sacramento has made huge strides this season with the addition of Marvin Bagley III to work with center Willie Cauley-Stein and shooting guard Buddy Hield. The Kings who are playing their fourth straight road game are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 meetings at Chicago. But, the Bulls had a closed door players only meetings after they were booed off the floor in during their 56 point loss. Bulls gore the Kings here. Take CHICAGO! |

Chip's 'Guaranteed' Games of Year (8-1 89%) L.A. Rams at Chicago 8:20 ET Bears (+) over Rams- A month ago the Rams were dropped for the ranks of the unbeaten by New Orleans and everybody decided that the Saints were the best team in the NFC. Well, three wins latter and Los Angeles is atop the NFC and has clinched the NFC West Division crown for the second straight year. Last week Chicago mounted a second half comeback against in New York but fell in overtime 30-27 to the Giants with Chase Daniels at the helm ending a five-game win streak. It appears Mitch Trubisky will be back running the Bears offense and will be opposed by Jared Goff. With the Rams having already clinched I believe that that believe they will be totally focused but I think not. Important game of Chicago who are 6-2 ATS against the rams in the last eight meetings and they are 6-0-1 ATS at home against a team with a winning record while LA is 0-3-1 ATS against teams with winning records. Take CHICAGO! |

Chip's 'Guaranteed' NFC Megabucks Winner New York Giants at Washington 1:00 ET Redskins (+) over Giants- A few short weeks ago the Redskins had a two-game lead and were running away with the NFC East and now after three straight losses and a plethora of injuries that are and underdog at home to a 4-8 New York Giants team. For Washington the answer is Mark Sanchez who will make his first start since 2015 and the third different quarterback to start for the Redskins in the past four weeks. New York has won 3-of-4 and is off a home overtime win over Chicago. I expect a heavy dose of Adrian Peterson to protect Sanchez's limited knowledge of the offense. This may not be so bad with the porous Giants defensive line and their strong defense putting pressure on Eli Manning how will get nervous feet. The underdog is 11-5 n the last 16 meetings and now without Beckham to Giants drop another notch. Take WASHINGTON! |

Minnesota at Portland 10:00 ET Timberwolves (+) over Trailblazers- Portland's quick start has all but been wiped out as they lost six of seven before trouncing the Suns 108-86 as a 12.5-point favorite at the Moda Center. Minnesota on the other hand after slow start and the trade of Jimmy Butler has changed their fortunes as they have won their last two and six of seven. These two have played twice already each holding serve on their home court with the Blazers winning by 30-points 111-81 as a 5.5-point favorite on Nov. 4. Tonight, they opened -1.5 and that is a huge difference. Consider this Minnesota is 6-19-1 ATS in the last 26 meetings in Portland and are 13-37-1 ATS in the last 51 meetings. Yet, tonight, they opened at 1.5-points. The Trailblazers have been in a funk and beating Phoenix at home is hardly anything that will fix these problems. This one 'stinks'...take TIMBERWOLVES! |

Navy vs. Army 3:00 ET Midshipman (+) over Cadets- As an 'Army' man (drafted) I always felt a pang every year as the Navy with superior talent just ran roughshod over the Cadets time and again winning 14 straight in the series and many of them not even close. This time around the roles are reversed as it is the Army that is 9-2 and riding a seven game win streak while the Navy is 3-9 and off a loss to Tulane and 8-of-9. It has been eons since The Army has been this kind of favorite in this game. The Knights are favored by a solid touchdown and ranked No. 25 with a ground attack that produces over 300 yards per game, only Georgia Tech averaged more. The Navy has lost 12 straight away from home but are No. 3 nationally in rushing at 288.5 yards a game. The Midshipman's defense has been questioned but and rightfully so surrendering 35 points per games but, their level of competition is stronger then the Army's Ivy league fare. Although, this season the Knights defeated both mutual opponents while Navy lost to both Hawaii and Air Force. Still, this is ARMY/NAVY...take a hungry dog! Take NAVY! |

Chip's 'Guaranteed' NCAA Megabucks Winner Louisville at Indiana 2:30 ET Hoosiers (-) Cardinals- Louisville has won their last three and are 4-0 ATS in their last four as they are considered the visitor although this game is at Madison Square Garden and Indiana is considered the home team. The Hoosiers have won four of their last five including their last two but had lost five straight ATS until their 64-62 win as a 3-point dog at Penn State. That makes a pair of two-point wins back-to-back and that strengthens character. The Cardinals have won three straight after a pair of losses to Tennessee and Marquette the last one a 86-41 beatdown of Central Arkansas, hardly a good workout. Louisville has been favored the last four meetings and the last time the Hoosiers were favored in the they won by 15 points. Take INDIANA! |

Philadelphia at Detroit 7:00 ET Pistons (+) over 76ers- With the acquisition of Jimmy Butler teams are beginning to put a little more focus on Philadelphia when they get them in their sites. But, the 76ers are too inexperienced to handle that kind of everyday pressure. Teams that can have targets on their backs need to be experienced with strong leadership that have winning team are qualities. It's too early for Philly to handle that load especially on the road where they still need to mature as a team. They are great at home 13-1, but 4-8 SU and 3-9 ATS on the road including 1-6 ATS in their last seven trips to Detroit. The Piston are 9-4 SY at home and have lost their last two. Embiid and Butler matched against Griffin and Drummond has the making of a great encounter if they give to the game what they should (NBA players take too many games off and some of them they are playing in). I think the natural response is to jump on the Sixers off their last at Toronto, but this is the first of back-to-back meetings (Monday at Philly) and I expect the home team to prevail here. Take DETROIT! |

Maryland at Purdue 7:00 ET Boilermakers (-) over Terrapins- There are some conflicting 'numbers' here that could bring confusion when making an analysis of this matchup. Starting with the Boilermakers who have lost their last two and are just 7-18-2 ATS in their last 27 games in the Big Ten and are only 4-11 ATS in their last 15 home games. No. 23 Maryland is 7-1 straight up this season but just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall. I believe this 'price' is a bit high as the oddsmakers are aware that Purdue have won four straight in this series. Take PURDUE! |

Since that loss the Wildcats have reeled off four straight road wins and now return home to host Big-5 rival Temple where they are 15-5 ATS in their last 20 games. The Wildcats have owned the Big-5 winning 23 straight including Saturday's 85-78 win against LaSalle.

12-05-18 | Nuggets v. Magic +5.5 | Top | 124-118 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 5 m | Show |
Denver at Orlando 7:00 ET Magic (+) over Nuggets- Both of these clubs are on winning streaks as Orlando has won their last two and the Nuggets are on a season high six game ride with the last win at Toronto Monday night. But, the Denver win may have been costly as leading scorer Gary Harris is scheduled for an MRI today and will not play. The Nuggets pounded the Magic 112-87 in Denver November 23 and should suffer a bit of a letdown after defeating the Raptors at Toronto on Monday. The Magic are 10-6 straight-up in their last 16 and are looking forward to start winning at home. Take ORLANDO! |

12-04-18 | Michigan v. Northwestern +6.5 | Top | 62-60 | Win | 100 | 10 h 48 m | Show |
Michigan at Northwestern 9:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Wolverines- Sometimes I just wonder what the hell is going on! Here is Michigan (8-0) having played in the Final-Four Championship Game and have destroyed opponents by an average of 21 points and yet they are only ranked No. 5. Northwestern has played well at 6-2 and are off a 68-66 loss at Indiana while the Wolverines are off of three home games the last against Purdue. The Wildcats are 4-0 at home and both clubs play tough defense and I expect a tight contest. Take NORTHWESTERN! |

Chip's 'Guaranteed' NBA 'Highest-Rated' Money Game Orlando at Miami 7:35 ET Magic (+) over Heat- This Miami team inconsistency is like the part of Joe Pesci spoke of in Oliver Stone's film, an enigma and a riddle all mixed into to one and there is no answer. 'We' have been very fortunate on-and-against the Heat both home and away so I always feel confident what having a side in their games. This is the final stop for the Magic on a season high six game road trip and a win here would even the trip 3-3. Miami has won the last two at home following a six game home losing streak Orlando is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings and are on a 4-0 ATS run in their last four games while Miami is 1-6 ATS at home against teams with losing records. Magic are 8-3 ATS on the road while Miami is now 5-8 ATS as hosts. Take ORLANDO! |

Chip's 'Guaranteed' NBA 'Highest-Rated' Money Game L.A. Clippers at New Orleans 8:00 ET Clippers (+) over Pelicans- The last time these two played each other in late October in New Orleans the Pelicans won their third straight in this series as 5.5 point favorites. Everyone knows just what an impact Anthony Davis has on the game when on the floor scoring points, blocking shots and grabbing rebounds. Tonight he will be facing a formidable foe in the Clippers who had won nine of ten before last night's loss at Dallas but LA still leads the Western Conference with 15 wins. The Pelicans have won the last three meetings but the 'numbers' were much different. Something has happened since their last encounter in the Crescent City as the Pels are now favorites by less than a long field goal attempt. This 'price' tells me the Clippers have gained ground or that New Orleans is slipping. Either way...take LA. CLIPPERS! |

L.A. Clippers at Dallas 7:00 ET Mavericks (+) over Clippers- My, my, my just look at those Clippers, they are the 'best' in the West with their 15-6 record and have won nine of 10 including their last four both SU and ATS. Dallas at 10-10 is in a better spot then most expected at this time with rookie Luke Doncic and veteran center DeAndre Jordan who is facing his ex-teammates for the first time. The Mavericks who are 6-0 ATS in their last six home games and are 14-2 ATS following a loss by 10-points or more and they are 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take DALLAS! |

Chip's 'Guaranteed' Highest-Rated Megabucks Winner Minnesota New Patriots 4:25 ET Vikings (+) over Patriots- Minnesota was 'our' Highest-Rated' Megabucks 24-17 winner over Green Bay winner last Sunday night as they dominated the Patriots had the semi annual weekend off (played the Jets) and are 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS at home. These two have met five times the last 15 years with the road team going 4-1 ATS. The road has been and will be so much easier for New England who for years has played in the weakest division in football. The Vikings are just starting to rev it up and are putting together a late charge and are the side tonight. Take MINNESOTA! |

12-01-18 | Northwestern +15 v. Ohio State | Top | 24-45 | Loss | -115 | 26 h 39 m | Show |
Chip's 'Guaranteed' Big-Ten Power Play Winner Northwestern vs Ohio State 8:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Buckeyes- Having used the Buckeyes as my Early-Bird winner (10-2 86%) over Michigan last Saturday I have no qualms about playing against them this week. My problem is not on how good Ohio State's offense is but in my lack of confidence in Northwestern who I deem as being a bit short in talent with recent bowl editions. I expect this line to keep running 'up' until game time as the 'public' will believe that the #6 Buckeyes must run up the score to overcome #5 Oklahoma who played earlier. This just sweetens the pot for the Wildcats who will be looking to win the game. Take NORTHWESTERN! |

Fresno State at Boise State 7:45 ET Bulldogs (+) over Broncos- Its fitting that these two meet in the Mountain West Championship game as they were by far the best teams in one of the countries weakest conferences. Underdog 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings. Fresno is 0-3 ATS in their last three contests after a seven-game ATS win streak, Boise comes in winning their last seven-games with three straight covers. Considering the Broncos are 5-1 at home this is a very short number and tells me Telford's Bulldogs has a shot. Take FRESNO STATE! |

Chip's 'Guaranteed' NBA 'Highest-Rated' Money Game Golden State at Detroit 7:00 ET Pistons (+) over Warriors- In 11 games without point guard Stephen Curry the Warriors have gone 5-6 but will see the return of the games best pure shooter in the league. Kevin Durant tried to pick up the scoring slack 51 points against the Raptors Thursday and has had 40 or more points in three straight games. The trouble is teams with high scorers don't win and Golden State has struggled with out team balance. Although the Warriors have won 12 of their last 14 meetings they hare just 1-5 ATS in the last five meetings. Detroit is playing well and is 6-1 ATS in their last seven. Take the PISTONS! |

Oklahoma State at Minnesota 10:00 Cowboys (+) over Golden Gophers- Minnesota opened the season 5-0 including wins over Utah, Washington and Texas A&M but when it can to their ACC matchup they fell 68-56 to Boston College last time out. Playing out of conference or just about anywhere for the Gophers has been ugly. They are 2-16 ATS against the Big-12 and just 8-21 ATS in their last 29 overall. Oklahoma State on the other hand defeated Memphis and No. 21 LSU last time while losing to NCAA champ Villanova last Friday. The Cowboys are good enough to win here. Take OKLAHOMA STATE! |

11-30-18 | Utah +6 v. Washington | Top | 3-10 | Loss | -115 | 26 h 8 m | Show |
Utah vs Washington 8:00 ET Utes (+) over Huskies- Last week we posted Washington as our 'Highest-Rated' Guaranteed winner (9-1 90% L-10) and they delivered in a big way dominating Washington State 28-15. The Huskies were the Pac-12 favorites to become the first team from the conference to get into the FBS Final–4, but were exposed early in a loss to Auburn as quarterback Jake Browning and running back Myles Gaskin just didn't reach their potential. The Huskies already own a win over the Utes a 21-7 victory on September 15 but the underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Washington is 0-5 ATS in their last five on grass while Utah is 7-1 ATS in their last eight on grass. The Utes are going with replacement quarterback Jason Shelley which only strengthens their resolve. Take UTAH! |

Utah at Charlotte 7:00 ET Jazz (+) over Hornets- So the storyline here is that Utah has acquired Kyle Kover from Cleveland and the 37 year old believe it or not was one of the most productive player on the Cavaliers. Utah is off to a slow start (10-12) but are 8-6 straight-up on the road. Charlotte has been good to 'us' and their backers this season posting a 14-7 ATS record including 8-8 ATS at home. A a matter of fact the Hornets have defeated Utah four straight time at home both SU and ATS with the Jazz last winning in Dec. of 2013. After a team meeting the Utah says that they are 'locked-in' as team communication has improved. Take UTAH! |

11-29-18 | Saints v. Cowboys +8 | Top | 10-13 | Win | 100 | 27 h 60 m | Show |
New Orleans at Dallas 8:20 ET Cowboys (+) over Saints- How long can this go on...no not the Jerry Show in Dallas but show Drew Brees and the Saints have put on since NFL Week 2. That's when the picked-up their first win of the year as 21-18 non-cover win over Cleveland and then nine straight wins nine straight 'covers' including 5-0 SU and ATS on the road. Dallas is another story at 6-5 share the lead in the NFC East and have won three straight with Ezekiel Elliott once again becoming the league's leading rusher (1,074 yards). The Cowboys will need that to keep the ball out of Brees hands (76.4 completions) and possess the ball. Pokes must come up with 'Big D' to win here. Take DALLAS! |

Golden State at Toronto 8:00 ET Raptors (-) over Warriors- Nine points...That's right the Warriors opened a 9-point underdog to the Raptors and both Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are expected back soon possibly tonight. Golden State has been without Curry for 10 games and are 5-5 but have won their last three while Toronto is on a six-game winning streak. The Warriors are just 4-5 on the road and an even worse 2-7 ATS but have won the last eight in the series and yet the Raptors are a huge favorite here as the Warriors just don't have the same team chemistry. Take TORONTO! |

11-29-18 | Alabama v. UCF -5.5 | Top | 64-70 | Win | 100 | 9 h 44 m | Show |
Alabama at Central Florida 7:00 ET Panthers (-) over Crimson Tide- Central Florida has waited for this matchup for the past two years and amazingly the Panthers are favored, unfortunately this is basketball and not football. Both clubs are 5-1 but that's where the similarity ends. The Tide are 1-5 ATS while C. Florida is 5-1 ATS. UCF lost their only game 80-79 to FAU while Alabama lost by 16 to Northeastern (not exactly a powerhouse). Could any of us imagine that the Panthers would favored over the Crimson but they have a weapon 'Bama can't handle, that is 7-6 Tacko Fall who has become a force in the middle. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA! |

Virginia at Maryland 7:30 ET Terrapins (+) over Cavaliers- A pair of ranked and unbeaten (6-0) clubs will totally different styles will battle it out in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge at College Park, Maryland as the Terrapins host Virginia. The No. 4 ranked Cavaliers are known for defense under Tony Bennett and are at it again this season allowing just 49.3 points per contest. The Cavs off their 53-46 win over Big Ten rival Wisconsin in the Battle of the Bahamas Championship game and are 7-1 in the last eight meetings. This rivalry goes back to 1912 and Maryland has a huge 107-75 series lead. The Terrapins average 84.8 points per game and have a major advantage with the home floor. Take MARYLAND! |

Toronto at Memphis 8:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Raptors- Toronto appears to have righted the ship winning their last five after dropping the previous three. Meanwhile, the hometown Grizzlies have lost their last two falling at the Clippers in overtime and then returning home and getting ambushed by New York who has won a season high three straight. The Raptors swept the two-game series last year and are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. But, there's always a but, this is a much different Memphis club as they are NBA leaders in defense and had 19 blocked shots against the Knicks and former coach David Fizdale. These bears will have bite tonight...take the GRIZZLIES! |

Michigan State at Louisville 7:30 ET Cardinals (+) over Spartans- After dropping their opening game to Kansas 92-87 Tom Izzo has his No. 8 Spartans riding a five-game winning streak including the title in the Las Vegas Invitational defeating UCLA and Texas. Louisville opened with three wins but have dropped their last two to Tennessee and Marquette on the road and return home (3-0) to host Michigan State. A pair of small trends that back the Cardinals says that MSU is 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 true road games and Louisville is 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 versus the Big Ten. Take LOUISVILLE! |

Virginia Tech at Penn State 7:00 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Hokies- No. 12 Virginia Tech enters Bryce Jordan Center 5-0 with a perfect 4-0 ATS record. Penn State at 3-2 has been unimpressive but are 2-0 at home and are 16-7 ATS in their last 23 games. The Hokies are 3-0 ATS away from home this season but other then Purdue have had a weak schedule. The Nittany Lions are returning home after three straight on the road including their last performance against Bradley where they had their worst shooting night 28.8% in three years. Look for State to bounce back here. Take the NITTANY LIONS! |

Tennessee at Houston 8:15 ET Titans (+) over Texans- The Houston Texans are on a franchise high seven-game win streak after dropping their first games this season. This steak has not been as impressive as say the Saints streak because they are just 4-6 ATS overall and just 1-3 ATS at home as they have won four games by three points or less. The Monday night scenario is so one-sided I have to consider it a key factor, Tennessee is 7-0 ATS in their last seven MNF appearances while Houston is 2-10 ATS in their last 12 Monday nighters. Tale TENNESSEE! |

Houston at Washington 7:00 ET Wizards (+) over Rockets- The Wizards were off to a terrible start but have managed to win five of their last eight games and how host the over-rated Rockets. It took Houston 10 games to realize that Carmelo Anthony was more of a liability than an assets but they are still having their own issues and are 7-1 ATS overall. Each team won on their home curt as they split a pair of decisions last season. Dwight Howard is day-to-day and has missed the Wizards' last three games...it won't matter. Take WASHINGTON! |

11-25-18 | Packers v. Vikings -3 | Top | 17-24 | Win | 100 | 27 h 28 m | Show |
Green Bay at Minnesota 8:20 ET Vikings (-) over Packers- Do you still believe in Aaron Rogers...I'm not so sure anymore. Yes, he's still great, I see that, but something is different. With Green Bay at 4-5-1 (tie vs Minny) a loss would pretty much make them a playoff after though. Both clubs are off losses with the Vikings quarter Kirk Cousins under fire of late losing 2-of-3 with only five touchdowns and four interceptions. It's time for him to shine for Minnesota in front of a national audience. Green Bay is 0-5 SU on the road and have lost four of six and is 0-4-1 ATS in their last five games on field turf (How 'bout dat!). The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five games and are the play here. Take MINNESOTA! |

New Orleans at Washington 8:05 ET Wizards over Pelicans- Whoa, did that really happen? How did a team with Anthony Davis loss to the New York Knicks last night. Ah yes, The Pelicans were on the road where they are just 2-8 in 10 games. Last season Washington defeated New Orleans in both meetings and have won 12 of the last 13 meetings and are 20-7 in the last 27. Sometimes, the beat goes on when teams meet no matter who is on the floor. Note, that the Pelicans are 0-7 ATS following a straight-up loss. Take the WIZARDS! |

Notre Dame at Southern California 8:00 ET Trojans (+) over Fighting Irish- Last week 'we' had Best Bet winners in both these teams matchups as Notre Dame crushed Syracuse 36-3 Power Play winner and USC fell 'outright' 34-27 to UCLA in our Rivalry winner. After what 'we' saw last week and with the Irish needing just to win here to go undefeated and grasp a spot in the college football version of the Final-Four this line will be greatly inflated. On the other side, after winning 11 games and the Pac-12 title the Trojans must get an upset win here they will miss out on a bowl game. USC has lost four of their last five but will put a maximum effort here. Take the generous points...take SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA! |

Louisiana State at Texas A&M 7:30 ET Aggies (-) over Tigers- Okay, here we have it! The 'Jerry Special,' you remember that...It's when an unranked team (Texas A&M) is favored over a ranked team (#7 LSU). So, Jerry is 9-2 88% in this situation this season and note that the favorite is 7-0 SU and ATS in the last seven meetings and guess what...all seven wins were by the Tigers. But, this is a 'new' season at Texas A&M with Jimbo Fisher getting his first crack as an SEC school against the Bengals. Personally, I am not that impressed with LSU and can see the A&M No.2 defense against the run allowing just 80 yards per game shutting down the Tigers. Take the AGGIES! |

Michigan at Ohio State 12:00 ET Buckeyes (+) over Wolverines- This is so illogical that it can't be any other way. Ohio State may be 10-1 but the have had a mediocre season football quality wise. After an opening week loss the Notre Dame the Wolverines have reeled off 10 straight wins and for the most part in impressive performances. I could come up with some stuff like the 'Dog is 4-1 in the last five meetings which also means that Michigan is 4-1 last five because they have been the 'dog each time. Well, the rolls are reversed here and the pressure is on the Wolverines. What bothers me some is that I don't ever remember the Buckeyes being an underdog at home, like I said, the 'rolls are reversed.' Still, the points are a bonus and may become a factor as I expect the Buckeyes to move the ball better than the Blue Maze. Take THE OHIO STATE! |

Utah at L.A. Lakers 10:30 ET Jazz (+) over Lakers- There is bound to be a turn-around of this series as the Lakers of course have LeBron James and all things are different for Los Angeles. Utah swept the series last season 3-0 and have won the last seven meetings. The young Lakers are maturing fast with James leading the way and are facing a struggling Jazz team that has dropped four of their last five. Last time out the Jazz had a weak effort in their game at Sacramento and I expect a huge change in attitude here. Take UTAH! |

Washington at Washington State 8:30 ET Huskies (+) over Cougars- I know, I understand and the Cougars are that good, I understand that the Huskies have been over-rated and underachieved (Except as 'our' Blowout GOY Winner 28-7 over BYU) all year long and are a miserable 2-9 ATS while Washington State is a most impressive 10-1 both SU and ATS and as heavy favorites in places. As school history goes it is and has been all Washington winning the last four and going 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings at Washington State. The Huskies do it again...take WASHINGTON! |

Oklahoma at West Virginia 8:00 ET Sooners over Mountaineers- Love the matchup as No. 13 West Virginia hosts No. 6 Oklahoma for a berth in the Big-12 Championship game. This could very well end up a shootout between a pair of premiere quarterbacks in college football. I have already stated that I believe the Sooners Kyle Murray is the most 'explosive' player in NCAA football and then West Virginia has Will Geir at QB who many feel will be the first pick in the draft. Grier has thrown for 3,325 yards and 33 touchdowns with eight interceptions while Murray has thrown for 3,310 yards 34 TD's and just sic ints along with 739 yards rushing for 10 touchdowns. Although the Sooners have won the last four meetings and 19 consecutive true road games, all said, the Mountaineers are off a lost at Oklahoma State and will rebound here for their first Big-12 win over the Sooners. Take WEST VIRGINIA! |

Texas vs Michigan State 6:30 ET Longhorns (+) over Spartans- both clubs are on winning streak as the Longhorns are 5-0 on the season and Michigan State has won four straight since their opening loss to Kentucky. The Spartans got here with an easy 87-67 win over UCLA while Texas was 'our' 'Highest-Rated' winner 92-89 over North Carolina. The way these two won was completely different as the 'Horns trailed the Tar Heels 17-4 and fought their way back while Michigan State just routed the Bruins. MSU has been on a down trend since conference play started last season and are 5-12-2 ATS in their last 19 games overall. I expect this game to pay close will take the points...take TEXAS! |

Atlanta at New Orleans 8:20 ET Falcons (+) over Saints- Oh man, this is one of those spots, you know the one where everyone gets 'smart' and takes the weaker team and gets crushed by the 'public' favorite. Since their opening game of the season New Orleans has been a point spread darling going 8-1 ATS and covering numbers in a huge way. The underdog is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings but the Falcons are 1-4 ATS in their last five road games. After the way the Saints took apart Philadelphia last week 48-7 and the way Atlanta blew its game to Dallas they have to move toward the center. Better from the Falcons and less from New Orleans. Take ATLANTA! |

Texas vs North Carolina 7:30 ET Longhorns (+) over Tar Heels- When Skaka Smart left VCU to coach for Texas many thought there would be an instant turnaround but this is the year their 'backers' expect results. North Carolina is undefeated and won their first five games by an average of 30.6 points as they have played all five games at home. Texas believe it or not leads this series 7-3 and has won the last three meetings and seven of the last eight. The Tar Heels will be without point guard Seventh Woods who leads the team in assists will miss this contest because of a concussion received in practice Tuesday. Take TEXAS! |

Oklahoma City at Golden State 10:30 ET Thunder (+) over Warriors- How can this be? 'We' all realize that Golden State is in a state of flux right now having lost three straight and four of their last five. The Warriors troubles started when Stephen Curry went down and then 'team' jealousy raised it's as fragile egos and insecurity surfaced. This internal turmoil is not a small issue as basketball is such a game of chemistry (see Carmelo Anthony). If there is any other team that loves to run the floor and can play with the Warriors. I'm sure Kevin Durant will come up with some issue regarding his former team and teammate Russell Westbrook. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |
