10-22-22 | UCLA v. Oregon -6 | Top | 30-45 | Win | 100 | 23 h 6 m | Show |
UCLA at Oregon 3:30 ET Ducks (-) over Bruins- I expect that we will have very little company with ‘us’ on this one and that’s just the way I like it. Both clubs are coming off bye weeks with No. 9 UCLA (6-0, 3-0) visiting Eugene where No. 10 Oregon (5-1, 3-0) will be laying in wait as they are 19-8 ATS following a bye week. The Ducks are 12-3 against the Bruins since 2000 and has won 9-of-10 last meetings. Bo Nix is maturing as QB after a career (not much of one) at Auburn and he can match Thompson-Robinson’s numbers. Take OREGON! |

10-21-22 | UAB +1.5 v. Western Kentucky | Top | 17-20 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 36 m | Show |
UAB at Western Kentucky 8:00 ET Blazers (+) over Hilltoppers- Bailey Zappe may not be starting for the Patriots Monday night but he will be paying attention to his high scoring Alma mater as the Hilltoppers are 17th in the nation averaging 490 ypg. UAB is not that far behind averaging 450 ypg themselves but the Blazers have the stronger defense allowing just 319 ypg ranking No. 20. Defense will be the difference...Take UAB |

10-21-22 | Celtics v. Heat +2.5 | Top | 111-104 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 21 m | Show |
Boston at Miami 7:30 ET Heat (+) over Celtics- I’d like to make a coaching comparison between these two but the jury is still out on the Celtics change at that position as their former coach couldn’t keep it in his pants with female subordinate and is on double-secret probation for at least a year. Miami coach Eric Spoelstra is probably the most under-rated coach on the NBA and he will have he Heat ready to rebound from their opening loss to the Bulls. Take MIAMI! |

10-20-22 | Clippers v. Lakers +6 | Top | 103-97 | Push | 0 | 9 h 56 m | Show |
L.A. Clippers at L.A. Lakers- Lakers (+) over Clippers- The Clippers swept the Lakers last season winning all four games and have won seven straight meetings. The Lakers are already 0-1 as they fell to Golden State on opening night. But, Anthony Davis is back and healthy (?) and the Lakers will be the first to see the return of Kawhi Leonard who hasn’t play in an NBA game in over 16 months. The Lakers still believe they are contenders for the title and look to show what they have tonight. Take LAKERS! |

\Virginia at Georgia Tech 7:30 ET Cavaliers (+) over Yellow Jackets- Neither of these clubs have been very impressive as Georgia Tech has won their last two to even their record at 3-3 while Virginia continues to slide and is 2-4 and 0-3 in ACC action dropping four-of-five. Tech has an interim coach Brent Key and he is 2-0 while the Cavaliers have first year head coach Tony Elliott who spent 11 years as a Clemson assistant. Cavs are 13-4 ATS after a bye week and the Jackets are 7-19 ATS in their last 26 home games and 2-11 ATS after a straight-up win. Take VIRGINIA! |

10-19-22 | Blazers +3 v. Kings | Top | 115-108 | Win | 100 | 10 h 9 m | Show |
Portland at Sacramento 10:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Kings- Neither of these two clubs made to expanded NBA playoffs last season and for Portland it was the first time they missed the postseason in eight years whereas the Kings have not made the playoffs in 16 seasons. There’s a new coach in Sacramento in Mike Brown the former Lakers and Cavaliers leader. Alvin Gentry replace Luke Walton after 17 games last season and the Kings weren’t much better after the change. Same old...take PORTLAND! |

Denver at L.A. Chargers 8:15 ET Broncos (+) over Chargers- Entering last week’s game in Cleveland the Chargers were last in rushing in the NFL but a breakout game by Austin Ekeler moved them up 10 spots. Justin Herbert was his usual self and when he is they are hard to beat. Denver got what they wanted by signing Russel Wilson and they are beginning to realize what they actually have...and for four more years after this. LA has covered their last two while Denver is 0-2 getting beat 12-9 last week at Indy but they are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games after scoring less than 10 points. Add that LA is 5-13 ATS at home against teams with losing records.Take DENVER! |

10-16-22 | Bengals v. Saints +3 | Top | 30-26 | Loss | -115 | 18 h 18 m | Show |
Cincinnati at New Orleans 1:00 ET Saints (+) over Bengals- The Bengals (2-3) have struggled thus far to regain the form that brought them to the Super Bowl last season. All three of the Bengals' losses have come on a field goal on the final play of the game. It has dropped from No. 13 to No. 22 in total offense, from No. 7 to No. 12 in passing offense and from No. 7 to No. 16 in scoring. New Orleans put together a complete offensive game for the first time this season in a 39-32 home victory against Seattle that ended a three-game losing streak last Sunday. Saints starting quarterback Jameis Winston has missed the last two games because of back and ankle injuries and has been replaced by Andy Dalton, who started 133 games for Cincinnati from 2011-19. TAKE NEW ORLEANS! |

Clemson at Florida State 8:00 ET Seminoles (+) over Tigers- In the mist of their comeback season Florida State (4-2, 2-2) blew a 17-3 lead to NC State last week and dropping their second straight. No. 4 Clemson (6-0, 4-0) leads the ACC in take-a-ways and allows just 18.3 ppg while scoring 39.3. The Tigers are 14-20 lifetime in this series while the home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five and they are 5-1 ATS in their last six ACC games. Take FLORIDA STATE! |

10-15-22 | Alabama -8.5 v. Tennessee | Top | 49-52 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 20 m | Show |
Alabama at Tennessee 3:30 ET Crimson Tide (-) over Volunteers- No. 1 Alabama (6-0, 3-0) has won 15 in-a-row against the No. 6 Volunteers who are led by QB Hendon Hooker who leads the SEC with a 175 QB rating. The question for the Tide is will QB Bryce young be ready to play and he needs to play after what we saw last week from the crimson offense. Well, that might not matter because Hooker (I just love that, where’s Dandy Don) hasn’t faced a defense like Alabama’s. ‘Bama averages 6.99 ypr and only allows 250 ypg on defense. Vols learn how far they have to go. ALABAMA. |

Kansas at Oklahoma 12:00 ET Sooners (-) over Jayhawks- There are couple of stats that I want to give you and then I will just say no more. The Sooners have dominated Kansas forever. This is the first time that I can ever remember KU being ranked and OK not. The Sooners have won 17 straight in the series with the Jayhawks last win coming in 1997. QB updates Sooners returns and Kansas QB is out. Take OKLAHOMA! |

10-13-22 | Washington Commanders v. Bears | Top | 12-7 | Win | 100 | 29 h 36 m | Show |
Washington at Chicago 8:15 ET Commies (+) over Bears- Believe it or not Washington actually out-played and out-gained Tennessee by over 150 yards and still fell short with quarterback play turning the result. Chicago’s Justin Fields had his finest day as a pro going 15-21 208 yards passing and 47 yards rushing accounting for 255 of the Bears 271 offensive yards. The road team is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings and the commies are 5-0 ATS at Chicago. Bears are 2-6 ATS in their last eight home games and just 6-16 ATS against the NFC. Take WASHINGTON! |

10-10-22 | Raiders +7 v. Chiefs | Top | 29-30 | Win | 100 | 16 h 6 m | Show |
The Chiefs (3-1) have dominated the Raiders (1-3), winning the past three meetings by a combined score of 124-54. They've won eight of the teams' past nine meetings and 13 of the last 15 matchups. Along with that the home team is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. The Chiefs' strong start, which included a 41-31 win at Tampa Bay on Sunday, has been fueled by quarterback Patrick Mahomes. He's completed 66.4 percent of his passes for 1,106 yards and 11 touchdowns, the latter tied for most in the league. His 82.3 quarterback rating is tops in the NFL. The Raiders, who are coming off a 32-23 win over the visiting Denver Broncos, have struggled defensively. They have yielded 100 points and 1,015 passing yards, ranking in the bottom third of the league for both. Quarterback Derek Carr has completed 61 percent of his passes for 1,038 yards with six touchdowns and four interceptions. After a disappointing start posting a win last week has the Raiders believing in themselves once again. Take LAS VEGAS! |

10-09-22 | Cowboys v. Rams -5 | Top | 22-10 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 31 m | Show |
Dallas at L.A. Rams 4:25 ET Rams (-) over Cowboys- The Cowboys (3-1) would be nowhere without one of the top defenses in the NFL that has 15 sacks and has destroyed the internal clocks of opposing quarterbacks this season. While the Cowboys have found a winning formula, the defending Super Bowl champion Rams (2-2) have been sputtering along. Their latest defeat came Monday night against the San Francisco 49ers, as they fell 24-9. The uneven play from Los Angeles quarterback Matthew Stafford continued as he went 32 of 48 for 254 yards and an interception that was returned for a touchdown. Stafford has been intercepted an NFL-leading six times after throwing 17 picks last season, which was tied for the most in the league. Take the L.A. Rams! |

10-09-22 | Titans v. Washington Commanders +1 | Top | 21-17 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 28 m | Show |
Tennessee at Washington 1:00 ET Commanders (+) over Titans-After two seven-win seasons and a poor start to this year, pressure is ramping up on Rivera. During their three-game skid, the Commanders have been outscored in the first half 58-7. If ever a team needed a feel-good story it's the embattled Commanders (1-3), losers of three straight games and who host the Tennessee Titans (2-2) on Sunday. The Titans enter on a two-game winning streak, which coincides with improved work from running back Derrick Henry. In two losses to open the year, Henry averaged 3.1 yards per touch. Since then, he's gained 290 yards on 50 touches, for an average of 5.8 yards. Still, in need...take WASHINGTON! |

Florida State at N.C. State 5:00 ETSeminoles (+) over Wolfpack- The Wolfpack (4-1, 0-1 ACC) fell from the ranks of the undefeated with a 30-20 loss at No. 5 Clemson last weekend. The Seminoles (4-1, 2-1) also dropped its first game of the season last weekend as it fell 31-21 to visiting Wake Forest. As far as trends go don’t look at them as they are so one sided I can only get you this...the Seminoles are 4-0 ATS in their last four road games. Take FLORIDA STATE! |

10-07-22 | Houston +2.5 v. Memphis | Top | 33-32 | Win | 100 | 9 h 46 m | Show |
Houston at Memphis 7:30 ET Cougars (+) over Tigers- Prior to the season, Houston was picked to win the AAC in a media poll, edging Cincinnati but the Cougars' have struggled to close out games. The Cougars head to Memphis on the heels of a 27-24 overtime loss at home to Tulane on Sept. 30. Houston has played three overtime games this season, a program record, and has dropped two of them. Houston (2-3, 0-1 AAC) scored 14 straight points in the fourth quarter before Tulane produced a tying TD with 39 seconds left in regulation before falling. Memphis heads into Friday's game on the heels of a 24-3 win at home over Temple. Cougars Quarterback Clayton Tune threw for 208 yards and two scores in the loss, in which he became just the fourth player in Houston history to amass 10,000 career total yards. Take HOUSTON! |

L.A. Rams at San Francisco 8:15 ET 49ers over Rams- Los Angeles (2-1) hasn't beaten the 49ers (1-2) at Levi's Stadium since 2018 and San Francisco is seeking their seventh straight regular-season victory over the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams won against the Niners in playoff action last season.

10-02-22 | Cardinals v. Panthers +1 | Top | 26-16 | Loss | -120 | 18 h 7 m | Show |
Arizona at Carolina 4:05 ET Panthers over Cardinals- The Panthers (1-2) are coming off their first victory. The Cardinals (1-2) won at Vegas in between losing their two home games. Quarterback Baker Mayfield picked up his first victory with Carolina last week, though the outcome against New Orleans largely hinged on defense. The Panthers won despite Mayfield completing less than half of his passes (12-for-25). Carolina holds a 14-5 all-time record, including postseason against the Cardinals and has six consecutive victories in the series. Kingsbury is 0-3 versus the Panthers and for good reason. After a 7-0 start in 2021 the Cardinals continue to dive. Take CAROLINA! |

N.C. State at Clemson 7:30 ET Tigers (-) over Wolfpack- Clemson has just not been very impressive especially on offense were they have now shown 'life' the past two weeks accumulating over 500 yards. When we think of these two clubs we would think defense first and the Clemson before NC State, but that is not the case. The Wolfpack actually surrender almost 90 yards less per game at 261.yards per than does Clemson at 350 YPG. Last season, the Wolfpack pulled out an overtime victory against the Tigers to snap an eight-game losing streak in the series but NC State hasn't won at Clemson since 2002. NCS is 5-14 ATS in their last 19 road games while the Tigers who ave struggled against the 'number' are 4-1 ATS in their last five ACC games. Tigers get it done at home...take CLEMSON! |

The 309 passing yards was the lowest total in a game this season for the nation's leading passer. UCLA (4-0, 1-0) has yielded points in nine of its 10 opponent red-zone opportunities. The conference-opening win marked the third time this season UCLA scored 45 points, bolstering their 20th-ranked 41.8-point per game scoring average. UCLA's defense enters the week gearing up to make life difficult for Penix and the Washington passing attack. The Bruins are among the nation's top 24 defenses in sacks. Take U.C.L.A. |

09-30-22 | Tulane +2.5 v. Houston | Top | 27-24 | Win | 100 | 30 h 16 m | Show |
Tulane at Houston Green Wave (+) over Cougars- Starting the season ranked No. 24 Houston, defeated UTSA 37-35 in three overtimes. But now, it there may be tension within the program. The Cougars (2-2) will look to sort out some of those problems when they host American Athletic Conference foe Tulane (3-1) Friday night in the conference opener. After two convincing wins to open the season, the Green Wave -- a two-touchdown underdog at Kansas State stunned the Wildcats 17-10 on Sept. 17. However, the euphoria of the 3-0 start was dashed in last weekend's 27-24 home loss to Southern Mississippi. Houston has won the past two meetings with the Green Wave and owns a 19-7 edge in the all-time series. Take TULANE! |

Tua Tagovailoa has passed for 925 yards, eight touchdowns and two interceptions during the 3-0 start wile Joe Burrow passed for 275 yards and three touchdowns against the Jets. He was only sacked twice after being dropped 13 total times in the two setbacks. Tagovailoa said he doesn't have a head injury but backup QB Teddy Bridgewater is being prepared to play.

San Francisco at Denver 8:20 ET Broncos (+) over 49ers- 'It is the best of time and it is the worst of times,' that how 49ers fans see the Jimmy Garoppolo is back story. Personally, I like him injuries aside, but he's in trouble here. With Lance out for the season following surgery on his right ankle on Monday, Garoppolo is the No. 1 quarterback once again, and he makes his first start of the season on Sunday night when San Francisco (1-1) pays a visit to the Denver Broncos (1-1). QB Russell Wilson has seen better days and the Denver crowd is letting him hear it as his subpar performances have drawn attention after him signing a 5-yr extension. He'll come to play tonight as Broncos No. 3 defense allowing just 243.5 YPG leads the way! Take DENVER! |

Baltimore at New England 1:00 ET Patriots (+) over Ravens- If you keep playing against Mack Jones you will pay. The Ravens collapse to Miami (blew 28-7 lead) will linger. The difference here is the Pats defense is ranked No. 4 and allows only 246 YPG while Ravens ranked last surrendering 463.6 PPG. Aside from QB Jackson Baltimore has little run game to speak of. The Patriots dropped their season opener against Miami, but their defense fared much better than the Ravens did against the electric offense down in South Beach. New England's defense has been among the league's best through the first two weeks of the season, allowing just 34 points and the fourth-fewest yards per game (275). Take NEW ENGLAND! |

USC at Oregon State 9:30 ET Beavers (+) over Trojans- Both clubs are 3-0 SU with this being Oregon State's Pac-12 opener and both clubs have met and defeated Fresno State. USC (3-0, 1-0 Pac-12) was impressive again last week, rolling past Fresno State 45-17. The Trojans have 10 takeaways with no turnovers, the best margin in the nation. Under coach Jonathan Smith. Oregon State snapped its eight-year bowl-game drought last season and ended a losing streak USC with a 45-27 win over the trojans last September. USC is 2-5 ATS in last seven meetings with State and the dog is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings. Add that the Beavers are 8-1 ATS in their last nine home games. Take OREGON STATE! |

Iowa at Rutgers 7:00 ET Hawkeyes (-) over Scarlet Knights- This has got to be the most 'bogus' line of the weekend! Think about this for a second...Iowa, which ranks last among 131 FBS teams with 217.7 yards per game on offense will face a Rutgers defense allowing 240.3 per game and is 10th in the nation. The Scarlet Knights (3-0) are over a TD underdog at home and this just doesn't make any sense. We can always find trends to support our side so it goes. Knights are 0-5 ATS against teams with winning records and 4-9 ATS after a SU win. Take IOWA! |

This will be his first challenge on the road after three home games to start the season. The Red Raiders (2-1) return home after a 27-14 loss at then No. 16 North Carolina State last weekend. Texas holds a 54-17 advantage over the Red Raiders in the all-time series between the schools and has captured 11 of the past 13 matchups. The Longhorns scored 10 touchdowns in a 70-35 win over Texas Tech in Austin last season and Tech is looking to atone at home. Red Raiders 7-1 after a loss. Take TEXAS TECH! |

Friday will mark the sixth all-time matchup between the teams, with Virginia leading 3-2.

09-22-22 | Steelers v. Browns -4 | Top | 17-29 | Win | 100 | 19 h 16 m | Show |
Pittsburgh at Cleveland 8:15 ET Browns (-) over Steelers- Pittsburgh pretty much trailed most of the game in their loss to the Patriots (A-Play ML winner) and will stay will Mitch Trubisky at QB, he will be making just his third start and there are already 'rumblings' about replacing him with Kenny Pickett. Trubisky is averaging just 5.1 yards per completion which ranks 32nd among 33 qualifying quarterbacks while passing for 362 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Both clubs coming off losses but the way the Browns lost last week has got to have some lingering effect. The Browns (1-1) blew a 13-point lead with 1:55 left to play in Sunday's 31-30 home loss to the New York Jets. I'm looking for the Browns to suck-it-up and run the ball at the Steelers and not surrender the lead. Take CLEVELAND! |

Penix -- who transferred from Indiana to Washington (2-0) to be reunited with coach Kalen DeBoer who led the Hoosiers to a 24-0 victory at East Lansing, Mich., in 2020. Penix has guided the Huskies to lopsided victories against Kent State (45-20) and Portland State (52-6), completing 46 of 66 passes for 682 yards and six touchdowns with one interception and he knows how to beat MSU. Spartans 1-5 ATS versus the PAC-12 and Huskies are 7-2 ATS in their last nine non-conference games. Take WASHINGTON! |

Preparing for Kansas City is typically tough and this time the Chargers have to do it on a short week. The Chargers have their own gunslinger in Justin Herbert, who passed for 279 yards and three touchdowns in a 24-19 home win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Kansas City has won 13 of the past 16 meetings with the Chargers, but the teams split two games last season and LA is 3-01 ATS in the last four meetings in KC. Take the CHARGERS! |

09-12-22 | Broncos v. Seahawks +7 | Top | 16-17 | Win | 100 | 21 h 55 m | Show |
Denver at Seattle 8:15 ET Seahawks (+) over Broncos- Denver's Russell Wilson's return to Seattle and the question is what of kind of greeting he might get from the 69,000-plus fans. Wilson recently signed a five-year extension worth $245 million with the Broncos expects to contend for a title but not so much with the Seahawks. At quarterback for the Seattle will be Geno Smith, who served the past two seasons as Wilson's backup. Pete Carroll isn't ready to write off his team, though most predict they'll finish last in the NFC West. Denver is 1-5 ATS in their last six road games and 1-4 ATS on MNF. Seahawks are 16-7 ATS in their last 23 games as underdogs and 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take SEATTLE! |

Kansas City at Arizona 4:25 ET Cardinals (+) over Chiefs- Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury, who recruited Mahomes to Texas Tech. Now, he has to coach against him for the first time in the 2022 season opener when his Cardinals clash with the Chiefs on Sunday. Kingsbury, of course, has watched the development of his own quarterback, Kyler Murray, who enters his fourth season. Cards are not getting much respect after closing 2021-22 they way they did. I expect this one to come down to the final gun...take ARIZONA! |

U.S.C at Stanford 7:30 ET Cardinals (+) over Trojans- No. 10 Southern California will open Pac-12 Conference play against Stanford on Saturday at Palo Alto, Calif. The Trojans (1-0) won a 66-14 rout of Rice last week and it was the debut of Southern Cal head coach Lincoln Riley. USC has a number of transfers in a Trojans uniform for a the first time, Quarterback Caleb Williams, who followed Riley from Oklahoma, completed 19 of 22 passes for 249 yards and two touchdowns which both of which went to Pitt transfer and reigning Biletnikoff Award-winning receiver Jordan Addison. The Cardinal (1-0) opened the season with a 41-10 romp over Colgate, an opponent from the Football Championship Subdivision. Stanford out-gained the Raiders 497-218, with quarterback Tanner McKee going 22-of-27 passing for 308 yards and two touchdowns. Cardinal is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take STANFORD! |

09-09-22 | Louisville +6 v. Central Florida | Top | 20-14 | Win | 100 | 9 h 9 m | Show |
Louisville at C. Florida 7:30 ET Cardinals (+) over Knights- Last Saturday Syracuse gained a measure of revenge on Louisville as the Cardinals had embarrassed the Orange in last year's meeting. Now, it is UL that is coming off an embarrassing play and will look to get it right against Central Florida who destroyed South Carolina State 56-10. They will find the competition a bit tougher this week. Cardinals are 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 games following a ATS loss and the Knights are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS win. Last season, Louisville beat visiting UCF 42-35 with QB Malik Cunningham putting up 364 yards total, 265 yards and a touchdown through the air and 99 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. Take LOUISVILLE! |

Buffalo at L.A. Rams 8:25 ET Rams (+) over Bills- There is no question that the Bills are the 'Public' favorite in 2022 to win it all and for good reason as it appears they are ready to make the next step. L.A. of course is expected like most Super Bowl champs to fall back to the rest of the pack. I just wonder if a young coach like they have if he isn't still going to be driven. Allen, who passed for 4,407 yards, 36 touchdowns and 15 interceptions last season, downplays the hype over the season opener. Stafford, who passed for 4,886 yards, 41 touchdowns and 17 interceptions last season. I just hope Stafford is healthy. Take the RAMS! |

Clemson at Georgia Tech 8:00 ET Yellow Jackets (+) over Tigers- Clemson opens the season Monday as a 22-point favorite against Georgia Tech in Atlanta as part of the annual college football Labor Day showcase. Tiger's QB junior quarterback DJ Uiagalelei is back after a poor 2021 showing as he had a completion rate of 55.6 percent and he threw for 2,246 yards, he averaged under 11 yards per completion. He finished with more interceptions (10) than touchdowns (nine). The Yellow Jackets are coming off a 3-9 season, including 2-6 in the ACC. Somehow, the Tigers cover. Take GEORGIA TECH! |

Florida State at L.S.U. 7:30 ET Seminoles (+) over Tigers- Sunday night's game in New Orleans has Florida State (1-0) playing LSU in the Allstate Louisiana Kickoff in the Caesars Superdome. The Tigers went just 6-7 last season as Ed Orgeron was fired as head coach and Brian Kelly left Notre Dame to speak cajun. I just don't see Notre Dame's winningest coach going over on Bourbon Street. The Seminoles have a new look and attitude and boy do they need it. Tigers will begin this season without John Emery, who was projected to be the top running back. FSU 5-2 ATS last seven games while LSU is 1-4 ATS in last five non-conference encounters. Take FLORIDA STATE! |

Boise State at Oregon State 10:30 ET Beavers (-) over Broncos- To start with the changes in Idaho have started to play out as Boise State is just not the dominating club that it has been the past two decades (7-5) their fewest wins since since 1998. Oregon State hasn't put together back-to-back winning seasons since 2012-13 and the Beavers were 6-0 on their home turf in 2021 while going 7-5 overall and playing in their first bowl game since 2013. Oregon State holds a 5-4 lead in the series and is 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take OREGON STATE! |

09-03-22 | Utah v. Florida +2.5 | Top | 26-29 | Win | 100 | 25 h 40 m | Show |
Utah at Florida 7:00 ET Gators (+) over Utes- I've already penciled the Utes into the Championship Series...haven't you! Yeah, like last year's North Carolina, the pundits and so-call experts are all over Utah to dominate the PAC-12 and west. When that much attention is bestowed on one team things usually don't go so well. Florida head coach Billy Napier is in his Gators debut and he went 40-12 the last four years at Louisiana. The Gators will be aided with the atmosphere at the Swamp and Utah needs to show it can win on the road last year when its losses came at BYU, at San Diego State, at Oregon State and in the Rose Bowl against Ohio State. Early season results have not been good for the Utes as they are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games in September. Take FLORIDA! |

Cincinnati at Arkansas 3:30 ET Bearcats (+) over Razorbacks- This is the first meeting between these two schools don't have any history but they are both ranked side-by-side in the Top-25. Arkansa ranked No. 19 had a 9-4 record last year their best season in a decade and defeated Penn State 24-10 the Outback Bowl. Cincinnati of course made it to the Championships but were spanked by Alabama and the lost QB Desmond Ridder a 4-year starter with 43 wins. But, the Bearcats program is on the rise and most expect a huge drop-off from last season but, I don't. They are on the up swing and not getting the respect deserved. Take CINCINNATI! |

Virginia Tech at Old Dominion 7:00 ET Monarchs (+) over Hokies- Last year after a 1-5 start Old Dominion rallied to finish the regular season with five wins in six games to capture a berth in the Myrtle Beach Bowl. They have 17 starters back, including 10 on offense, and transfers from Power 5 schools the Monarchs will be under-rated' out of the Sun Belt. Tech was just 6-7 last season and are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games overall and ODU is 5-1 ATS in their last six home games. Take OLD DOMINION! |

Penn State at Purdue 8:00 ET Boilermakers (+) over Nittany- Boilermakers quarterback Aidan O'Connell had a prolific 2021 season throwing for 3,712 yards and 28 touchdowns while completing 71.6 percent of his passes as he paced Purdue to a 9-4 finish last fall and a Liberty Bowl win over Tennessee. Penn State started 2021 with a five-game winning streak that included two victories against ranked foes and a No. 4 national ranking of its own. But the Nittany Lions faltered after that, sputtering to a 7-6 finish that included a 24-10 loss to Arkansas in the Outback Bowl. The Nittany Lions have dominated the Boilermakers in the schools' history, going 15-3-1, including winning the past eight, But, O'Connell will be the difference here. Take PURDUE! |

Texas at Boston 7:10 ET Red Sox over Rangers- Boston's Rich Hill (6-5, 4.32 ERA) is starting for his fifth different team in the last four years and 11th clubs in his 17-year career. After a slow start he has won four of his last five decisions surrendering just a pair of walks with 17 K's in hid last three starts. Texas will start 2nd year man Glenn Otto (6-8,4.79) and his weakness is his lack of control walking over five per nine innings worked. Red Sox are 4-1 versus Rangers in last five meets at Fenway and 21-10 overall in the last 31 meetings. Texas also just 8-26 on the AL East road. Take BOSTON! |

But, I don't expect much from them today. The Lions are rarin' to ro |

Washington at Baltimore 7:05 ET Commanders (+) over Ravens- All I have say about this game is of Lamar Jackson plays he is not the 'brightest' bulb on the tree. Baltimore has now won 3,321 straight preseason games (Okay I embellished a little) and it's getting to where the 'public' is riding them every week during the preseason. So, playing the part of the spoiler the 0-2 Commanders will tip the cart over against the 2-0 Ravens. I don't expect Baltimore to show anything or play any starters at all. Take WASHINGTON! |

08-26-22 | Bills v. Panthers -6.5 | Top | 0-21 | Win | 100 | 9 h 53 m | Show |
Buffalo at Carolina 7:05 ET Panthers (-) over Bills- Now, isn't this silly! Only three other teams won less games than Carolina last season while Buffalo is the definitive AFC favorite to get to the Super Bowl. The Bills are 2-0 in the preseason and are ready for their opener in LA right now coming off their 42-15 beatdown over Denver. Mayfield earned the starting nod and the team is settled and more confident with the choice as Darnold everybody realizes is the pits. Watch for the Bills to avoid playing anyone of significance while looking for Sam Darnold to lead the second half win and cover. Take CAROLINA! |

Cincinnati at New York Giants 7:10 ET Giants over Bengals- For the most part the Super Bowl loser has a difficult time the following year and not only during the regular season but the preseason as well. Even though Joe Burrow won't be playing but I can't get past him getting sacked nine time in the playoffs and they still won. Now, no Burrow but the same lineman. New York will for the most part use Tyron Taylor and the veteran is perfect for the preseason as he runs and is expendable. Giants come up big at home. Take NEW YORK! |

Dallas at L.A. Chargers 10:10 ET Cowboys over Chargers- Both of these clubs were 'Public' favorites last week and both were unimpressive. Dallas was shut out for 55+ minutes before scoring during garbage time and San Diego played fair against the Rams having 120 yards in penalties. The Cowboys had covered their last four preseason road games and after last week's 17-7 loss at Denver they have taken a lot of heat for their effort. The 'Boys' will be looking to right themselves here. Take DALLAS! |

08-20-22 | Lions -3 v. Colts | Top | 27-26 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 18 m | Show |
Detroit at Indianapolis 1:10 ET Lions over Colts- This is another of those silly 'prices' (like yesterday's Houston) where the worst is favored on the road. Indianapolis is expected to make a playoff run with QB Matt Ryan leading the way. But, the Colts the receiver of five Buffalo turnovers last week did what they do beat and blew a fourth quarter lead and couldn't take advantage of the gifts the Bills gave them. Detroit believe it or not was the 'public' choice last week and failed against the lowly Falcons in a game they dominated the clock and yardage but, a pair of turnovers did them in as they lost at home 27-23. This time they are road favorite (silly isn't it) so I expect the colts to come up lame. Take DETROIT! |

Las Vegas is not suppose to win this game they shouldn't 'cover' the number. But remember, the more they win this preseason the better to play Under total wins for the regular season. Okay, enough of that the Raiders cruised 27-11 in the Hall of Fame game against Jacksonville the NFL's worst in 2021.Take MINNESOTA! |

British Columbia at Calgary 7:00 ET Stampeders (+) over Lions- B.C. Is without a doubt the best team in the CFL as they lead in every vital offense and defensive categories. They are No. 1 in Total Offense and Total Defense, gaining 458 yards per contest while allowing just 299.9 yards per game. They are also No. 1 in rushing and passing yardage and pretty much dominate all aspect of CFL play. The Stampers have shown that they can play with the Lions in the pasted defeating them twice last season. Look for more of the same. Take CALGARY! |

Winnipeg at Calgary 7:00 ET Stampeders (+) over Blue Bombers- Winnipeg has been the best team in the CFL even before this 7-0 start to the season but they have been very consistent. Calgary at 4-0 is 2-0 both SU and ATS at home and is No.2 in offense averaging 388 YPG I bring this up because the undefeated Blue Bombers are ranked No. 8 in this nine team league on offense gaining just 337 YPG. Winnies 10 turnover forced on defense is the difference. Stampeders are 6-0 ATS after a SU loss and win here. Take CALGARY! |

Don't let their records mislead you as Hamilton (1-5) has out-gained three of their last four opponents and 4-of-last-5. The Alouettes are off a 40-33 win over Ottawa and are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games after a straight up win.

The RedBlacks have lost all five games with season with their last win coming over this Montreal squad in the final game of last season. The Alouettes are 0-3 on the road and if there is anyone Ottawa can beat it is this group who rank eighth on offense. Take OTTAWA! |

Looks like it should be a pretty even game when comparing offenses and defenses but the 'number' is kind of drastic for a team ranked 8-of-9 on offense. But, injuries are a part of the game and the RedBlacks are hurting as well as 4-10 ATS on the road and 0-4 ATS in their last four stops at Tiger-Cats. Take HAMILTON! |

Maybe not so much on defense where they rank No. 7 allowing 393 YPG but Edmonton is the worst in the league allowing 420 TPG. On offense is where the difference is pronounced as The Stampeders gain 391.3 ranking No. 2 while once again the Elks are dead last gaining just 318 YPG.

Winnipeg at Toronto 7:30 ET Argonauts (+) over Blue Bombers- With only nine teams in the CFL it's hard to understand how Winnipeg is 3-0 when they have the seventh ranked offense and their defense is squarely in the middle of the pack racked No. 5. Toronto has yet to 'cover' in a pair of starts and were totally wasted by BC last week 44-3 managing just 11 First Downs while surrendering 35 FDs. The Blue Bombers have dominated this series winning eight of 10 ATS and the Agros may be the worst in this league but after getting crushed last week on the road they return home and where they posted a 20-19 win over Montreal.

Golden State at Boston 9:00 ET Celtics (+) over Warriors- The Warriors still moved one victory away from a championship with a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series, despite shooting 9 of 40 (22.5 percent) from distance as a team. Curry went 0 of 9. A determined mindset won't be exclusive to the Warriors, of course. Boston heads home keen on extending the series to a Game 7 back on the West Coast. A championship would give Boston an 18th banner to hang in the rafters, which would be the most all-time. They are tied with the Los Angeles Lakers at 17 championships apiece, but they have not won one since 2008. With their backs to the wall the Celtics deliver. Take BOSTON! |

Boston at Golden State 9:00 ET Celtics (+) over Warriors- Although the series is even at two games apiece I get the feeling that most believe Golden State has a decided edge. An edge maybe but the series is still at 2-2 a slight edge maybe because of home court and Stephen Curry. The Celtics have gone 8-3 on the road in the postseason, outshooting their opponents 38.1 percent to 31.2 percent on 3-pointers. The Warriors have gone 10-1 at home, hitting 40.7 percent of their threes as opposed to 36.3 percent by the visitors. The biggest factor in determining winners and losers in the series has been rebounding. Boston has held the upper hand on the boards 86-70 in its two wins, including 22-18 on the offensive end.

The Celtics are 21-5-1 ATS in their last 27 road games they are 13-3-2 ATS in their last 18 games as an underdogs and the Celtics are 9-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings in Golden State. Take BOSTON! |

Miami at Boston 8:30 ET Celtics (-) over Heat- After what we've seen the play between these two clubs it appears obvious that Boston is the better team. After playing 20 separate quarters the Heat have outscored the Celtics just four times but have still managed a pair of victories. Miami is playing with damaged goods with injuries to Jimmy Butler having the biggest impact. With an ailing Butler the Heat offense just doesn't get it done and Boston's defense is stifling. In an elimination game the Heat will be desperate and are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 meetings in Boston. I just don't think the Heat are up to it. Take BOSTON! |

The difficulty I have with this one is that I expect heavy action on the Warriors and they have enough room to win under the 'number.' Mavericks are 21-10 ATS in last 31 on the roads against winning teams and the Warriors are 7-15-1 ATS I their last 23 games following an ATS loss. Somehow, someway it's...DALLAS! |

Boston at Miami 8:30 ET Heat (-) over Celtics- I just keep hoping these guys continue to doing what they do and that is taking turns beating each other up. I remember a series like this before between the Knicks and then Bullets as Wes Unseld and Willis Reed exchanged great performances on alternating nights. Okay, enough nostalgia about Game 5...it's simple the Heat licks their wounds and warm up in Miami! The oddsmakers favor the Celtics more and more which I don't like but they will have the 'public money' against them in this one. Take MIAMI! |

Miami at Boston 8:30 ET Celtics (-) over Heat- For Boston Jayson Tatum is questionable, Marcus Smart is questionable, Robert Williams III is questionable and Al Horford will play. Miami, like the Celtics are a band of walking wounded with Jimmy Butler most likely probable. Still, this is a high price to pay to bet the Celtics and probably for good reason. Take BOSTON! |

Golden State at Dallas 9:00 ET Warriors over Mavericks- Teams that live and die via the 3-point field goal run hot and cold during the same game and games have dramatic lead swings. Dallas like so many other teams after grabbing a huge early lead (2nd or 3rd Q) players seem to think it gives them license to throw up long range bombs shot after shot without ever having an offensive flow or an attempt to work the ball inside. Golden State has outscored the Mavericks 106-62 in the paint and with their veteran experience I don't see that changing. They will attack Doncic and wear down this one-man team. Take GOLDEN STATE! |

Cincinnati at Toronto 3:07 ET Blue Jays (-1.5) over Reds- I love the matchup but this price is too high to lay the money so instead 'we' will lay the run-line. Toronto will start Alek Manoah (4-1, 1.71 ERA) who has allowed just 25 hits in 42 innings and last season threw 117 innings and surrendered just 70 hits. His mound opponent will be Hunter Green (1-6, 6.21) who before his last start a 7.1 inning no-hit performance which lower his ERA to 6.21. Prior to that start he had given up 23 runs in 25 innings. Lay the RUNS...take TORONTO! |

Dallas at Golden State 9:00 ET Mavericks (+) over Warriors- Of course everyone thinks that this series hinges on Dallas' Super-star Luca Doncic but that is not how they are going to win, if they can. Defense is what got the Mavericks here as they enter Game 2 allowing 104.7 PPG ranking No. 2 in the NBA and Game 1 was one of their worst performances. The Mavericks are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games after allowing more than a 100 points and they are 19-7 ATS after a straight-up loss. The Warriors are 8-2 in their last 10 home games but the Mavs are 11-4 ATS in the last 15 meetings and 6-2 ATS at Golden State! Take DALLAS! |

Dallas at Golden State 9:00 ET Mavericks (+) over Warriors- Only one game separated the teams in the regular season, and it's because of the Warriors' 53-52 edge in wins. The Mavericks' were 3-1 straight-up in the season series and are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games at Golden State but the Warriors earned the home-court advantage in the best-of-seven Finals. Home court could be critical this time as well, with Golden State yet to lose in six games on its home floor this postseason. Dallas is 6-2 ATS following a win and the Warriors are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games as favorites. Take DALLAS! |

Boston at Miami 8:30 ET Celtics (+) over Heat- The top-seeded Heat have prevailed in six straight conference final appearances, tied for the fourth-longest streak in NBA history. Two of those series victories came against Boston (2012, 2020). The second-seeded Celtics have dropped four straight Eastern Conference finals, including three in a four-season stretch from 2017-20. But it looks to me like the oddsmakers have made the No. 2 seed the favorite to win the series and they will start with a win here. Celtics are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 meetings in Miami! Take BOSTON! |

Milwaukee at Boston 3:30 ET Celtics (-) over Bucks- When these two clubs met in a Game 7 in the first round in 2018, the Celtics prevailed easily 112-96, with Antetokounmpo (22) and Tatum (20) playing on basically even terms. Horford played the role of the difference-maker in that one, hitting 13 of 17 shots on a 26-point night. On Friday Horford had two pints after a career high 30 the previous game. Defense and pressure are keys to Boston's No. 1 ranked defense as the Bucks have shot 32.3 percent on 3-pointers in their wins, but just 25.7 percent in their losses. Jrue Holiday has defined the disparity, going 10 of 22 from deep in the wins, 5 of 22 in the losses. Celtics are 12-3-1 ATS in the last 16 meetings including 6-2 ATS at home. Take BOSTON! |

Boston at Milwaukee 7:30 ET Celtics (+) over Bucks- If you saw what I just saw in Game 5 it looks as though the Bucks can just turn it on any time they'd like...but we know what has happened in this series as these two battlers have alternated wins and losses and it's the Boston's turn to rise to the occasion. With Milwaukee's rating slipping even when the win as they are such meager favorites at home where they were 33-14 and just have to win. Celts are still No. 1 in overall defense and FG and 3-pt % allowed.and they are 9-2-1 ATS in the last 12 meetings including 5-0 ATS in Milwaukee. Take BOSTON! |

Phoenix at Dallas 9:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Suns- This has been a home series all the way and I see no reason to expect anything different here no matter the margin of the previous game. Phoenix has won by 7, 20 and 30 points at home and on the road they have lost by 9 and 10. Chris Paul once again seems lost in the playoffs but teammate Devin Booker has picked up the slack hitting 50% (16-of-32) from 3-point range. 4-9 ATS last 13 games on one days rest and 2-6 ATS as road favorites last eight. Mavericks are 5-1 ATS in last six games as home underdogs and 18-7 ATS after a loss. Take DALLAS! |

Golden State at Memphis 9:30 ET Grizzlies (+) over Warriors- Memphis was 20-5 SU when Ja Morant was sidelined this regular season and are now 0-1 without him in the playoffs although they did 'cover' the number. It appeared the Grizzlies were going to pull off the upset on the road and would even the series but Stephen Curry with playoff guile scored 18 fourth quarter points as the Warriors outscored The Grizz by 10 points for the 101-98 'non-cover' win. Golden State is just 1-5 ATS in their last six playoffs games as favorites while the Grizzlies are 10-1 ATS at home against teams with winning records. Take MEMPHIS! |

Philadelphia at Miami 7:30 ET 76ers (+) over Heat- He may not be the MVP but Joel Embiid in the most dominating player on the court when healthy and he is carrying the 76ers on his back. James harden showed signs of life last time out scoring 31 points while handing out nine assists. Miami of course has the fabulous Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro coming off the bench but the need more scoring balance as Kyle Lowry has been ineffective and is questionable. Most of the trends and money is moving toward the Heat and it's getting too hot for them. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Boston at Milwaukee 7:30 ET Celtics (+) over Bucks- Here we go again where the defending NBA Champions with the most dominating player in the league is hosting a game and yet with the line so short is the 'books' are saying that the Bucks need only to win the game to win the bet. It just looks too easy! Boston who is in dire need are 5-0-1 in their last six games as road underdogs and aren16-51 ATS in their last 22 road games and Milwaukee is just 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven home games.

Phoenix at Dallas 3:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Suns- Dallas came up with the win they needed in Game 3 and now have a chance to even the series at two wins apiece and they did it with defense the No. 2 ranked defense. Phoenix scored just 93 points and was held under 50% shooting from the field for the first time on the 2022 playoffs 11 points below the Mavericks defensive average. As veteran as the Suns are they are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 on 1 days rest and 2-5 ATS in their last seven games when road favorites. The Mavs are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 home games and 20-8-1 ATS when playing on 1 days rest. Take DALLAS! |

Boston at Milwaukee 3:30 ET Celtics (+) over Bucks- Having posted two winner in this series including Boston as my 'Highest-Rated' Megabucks winner in Game 2 I believe I can say that this 'line' is off the wall. In the, 'you have got to be kidding' department how in the world can the Bucks be such a small favorite at home. Everyone saw how dominate Milwaukee was in Game 1 and that is difficult to put out of your mind but, at home under a bucket and the line is dropping. The 'books' must believe that the Celtics have the answer to Giannis and with Middleton sidelined...take BOSTON! |

Miami at Philadelphia 7:00 ET 76ers (+) over Heat- The Heat is on! Miami is on a roll once against as the media and public keep underestimating them. As a 'Money Game' winner with them in the first two games I like the feel of playing against them and with the 0-2 team that most likely will return Joel Embiid. But, with or without him the 76ers are the side here. And of all people I wouldn't be surprised if James Harden actually shoots well and paces the Sixers. It is now or never...Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Dallas at Phoenix 10:00 ET Mavericks ()+) over Suns- Having used Phoenix as a Megabucks winner in Game 1 of this series I have no problem backing the Dallas here as I've been weary of them since they sent Porzingis packing. The Mavericks started the Utah series with Luca Doncic nursing an injury and have shown the defense travels well as they are ranked No. 2 allowing only 104.7. Without Porzingis whose heart was questioned their defense has risen to where they can win anytime with Luca carrying the offensive load. Although the Suns have dominated this series the Mavs are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games and 10-4 ATS in their last 14 as road underdogs. Take DALLAS! |

Milwaukee at Boston 7:00 ET The Bucks played Game 1 in this series they way they closed out their Championship last year as they were just too physical for the Celtics. Even with Khris Middleton out the Milwaukees big bodies just were causing problems for Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown who struggled for open looks. Giannis is unstoppable and Boston's Marcus Smart sustained an injury in Game 1 has his effectiveness should be questioned. The Celtics look like they don't have a chance so I have to have them.

Dallas at Phoenix 10:00 ET Suns (-) over Mavericks- Both teams overcame the absence of their young superstars in tough first-round matchups. The Mavericks ousted the Utah Jazz, and the Suns survived the eighth-seeded New Orleans Pelicans, both winning in six games. But Dallas was without Luca Doncic and Phoenix was missing Devin Booker for three of the six contests. The Suns swept the season series 3-0 from the Mavericks, with two wins coming by eight points and the third by seven. Two of the games were in Phoenix, a November back-to-back that Doncic missed with a sprained left knee and ankle.The Suns are 21-8 ATS in the last 29 meetings including 7-3 ATS as hosts.

Golden State the No. 3 seed took out Denver in five games and are at their strongest point physically with a healthy Draymond Green and Klay Thompson getting up to speed averaging 22.6 points in the playoffs. Meanwhile the Grizzlies are 8-1 ATS at home against teams with winning records and 5-1 as home underdogs and 4-1 against the Warriors in the last five meetings in Bluff City. Take MEMPHIS! |

Memphis at Minnesota 9:00 ET Timberwolves over Grizzlies- The oddsmaker is certainly giving Minnesota the seventh-seed plenty of respect as the No. 2 seed Memphis is barely favored in what could be a close out game for them. After blowing a 26-point lead in Game 3 the Timberwolves have rebounded with a pair of ATS wins eking out a 119-118 win at home and losing at the buzzer in Memphis 111-109. With the line where it is they are giving you a chance to just pick the winner...not so easy. The NBA's two top scoring teams go to a game 7. Take MINNESOTA |

Chicago at Milwaukee 7:30 ET Bulls (+) over Bucks- The NBA Champion Milwaukee Bucks are not messing around like last year's playoffs when they fell behind 0-2 in their opening and second round series as they have pounded the Bulls in the last two games taking a 3-1 series lead. Undermanned Chicago will be without All-Star Zach LaVine who entered the NBA safety protocol on Tuesday and Alex Caruso is in the league's concussion protocol after getting whacked in the face on Saturday. Still, this is an elimination game and the Bulls will scratch and claw The Bulls are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games in Milwaukee. Take CHICAGO! |

But, of course the Key to the Heat's success now is Jimmy Butler who posted 36 points in Sunday's win while Atlanta top scorer Trae Young had just nine points after scoring just eight points in Game 1 of this series. The Hawks are 6-1 ATS following a SU loss and are desperate trailing 3-1 and facing elimination. Take ATLANTA! |

Utah at Dallas 9:30 ET Jazz (+) over Mavericks- An unusual twist has happened in this series as the impact of Dallas's Luka Doncic presence is huge. In all four previous games Utah has been the favorite including the first two in Dallas when Doncic was out. Upon his return in Game 4 at Utah the Mavs held a 4-point lead with 30 seconds remaining only to be bested by a lay-in at the buzzer. The 'price' seems short with Luca's return and maybe it's because Dallas is 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven playoff games. Take UTAH! |

The Suns are the number 1 seed and they were the best all season and they have had the better of it in the series but the Pelicans are 6-1 ATS in their last seven hames after a straight up loss and the Suns are 2-6 ATS as playoff favorites.
