LA Rams at Indianapolis 1:00 ET Colts (+) over Rams- The Colts are galloping alone with Gardner Minshew at quarterback and have won their last two including an overtime win at Baltimore. So, now Indy with the return of Anthony Richardson a choice of two QB’s with different styles. Los Angeles has no such issue as Mathew Stafford is at the helm, but he’s running for his life with a line that surrendered six sacks against the Bengals Monday night. The Colts have a fresh attitude this season and the rest of the league will have to realize that. Take INDIANAPOLIS! |

10-01-23 | Commanders +9.5 v. Eagles | 31-34 | Win | 100 | 21 h 24 m | Show | |
Washington at Philadelphia 1:00 ET Commies (+) over Eagles- It appears that the Eagles are shaping into form while the Commanders already have to regroup. Washington was totally out-classed by the Buffalo Bills last week managing only a field goal in their 37-3 drubbing while Philly was workman like in their dominating win at Tampa Bay. Jalen Hurts is almost perfect as a starting QB winning 20 of his past 21 starts with his only blemish coming against the Commandos. Lighting strikes twice as the division home dog gets the money. Take WASHINGTON! |

10-01-23 | Bengals v. Titans +2.5 | Top | 3-27 | Win | 100 | 21 h 23 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Tennessee 1:00 ET Titans (+) over Bengals- So, thing are now supposed to be alright with the Bengals who posted their first win of the season over the Rams Monday night. Well, not so fst my friend! Cincinnati did have six sacks against LA but quarterback Joe Burrow still does not look the same. Maybe it is rust from not playing during the preseason in which he was hurt or maybe his injury is hampering his play because to me he still hasn’t passed the eye test. In other words he don’t look so good. The Titans are off a 27-3 loss at Cleveland (A-Play winner) and their is little that can said in a positive vein about their performance. But, like most professional teams when they have a game like that they play with more intensity and compassion the following week. Take TENNESSEE! |

Notre Dame at Duke 7:30 ET Blue Devils over Fighting Irish- ESPN's College GameDay comes to town with No. 17 Duke hosting No. 11 Notre Dame. Duke (4-0) has never been part of the longtime pregame college football show as a host or opponent. The task at hand for the Blue Devils is beating Notre Dame (4-1), a team motivated to get back in the win column after suffering its first loss of the season.

The Tigers (3-1, 2-0) and the Rebels (3-1, 0-1) have both shown short-coming as the Ole Miss offense has had issues and LSU on defense. The Rebels were 7-0 and ranked No. 7 in the country last season when LSU beat them 45-20 in Baton Rouge, La. and look to atone for that performance. Take MISSISSIPPI! |

Kansas at Texas 3:30 ET Longhorns (-) over Jayhawks- Saturday's match-up will be the first time these two programs have ever played each other while both are ranked. No. 3 Texas and No. 24 Kansas will look to continue torrid starts to the season when they square off in Austin, Texas. Both teams are 4-0 overall and 1-0 in conference play. The Jayhawks used a 22-yard fumble return from Cobee Bryant to race to an early lead and then added a 30-yard pick-six by Kenny Logan Jr. they won’t be so fortunate this week. The Longhorns are 17-4 against Kansas all-time and 9-1 when the teams play in Austin. Texas defeated Kansas in Lawrence last season, 55-14 and the Jayhawks' 2021 win in Austin is their only victory as a visitor. Take TEXAS! |

Louisville at N.C. State 7:00 ET Wolfpack (+) over Cardinals- Louisville (4-0, 2-0 ACC) is off to its best start in conference play in seven years. Their offense has been humming along at a pretty good clip so far this season, while North Carolina State is still attempting to hit its stride. NC State (3-1, 1-0) might need to get its offense cranked up if it intends to keep up with the Cardinals. The arrival of quarterback Brennan Armstrong to the Wolfpack was supposed to be accompanied by a dynamic offense that failed against hos former Virginia mates last week. The Wolfpack will be playing on a Friday night for the second week in a row after and this will be NC State's first night home game of the season. This will be a Wolfpack night! Take NC STATE! |

Power Play TCU at Houston 8:00 ET Cougars (+) over Horned Frogs- The Horned Frogs and Cougars haven't played each other since 2007, so it will be the renewal of what was a regular rivalry in the 1980s, ‘90s and a majority of the 2000s. It will also be the first conference game for Houston as a member of the Big 12, so the game will be the start of what should be an annual rivalry between in-state conference foes. Following a loss to Colorado in the season opener, TCU responded with a lopsided 41-6 win over Nicholls last week. As is the case with a lot of teams, the Cougars are still trying to find cohesion after welcoming in a healthy amount of transfers during the off season, most notably starting quarterback Donovan Smith. A transfer from Texas Tech, Smith is second on the team in rushing at 88 yards through the first two games, and is 46 of 76 passing for 493 yards and four touchdowns.

Megabucks Syracuse at Purdue 7:00 ET Boilermakers (+) over Orange- Syracuse has been impressive through the first two weeks of the season, but things get dicey with the challenge that they will see when they travel to take on Purdue in West Lafayette, Ind.

They are third nationally in scoring offense, trailing only Oregon and USC, and their defense has been stout, as well. No team has yielded fewer points per game than Syracuse (3.5), which has recorded a defensive touchdown in each of its first two games. Syracuse won last season's meeting with Purdue, 32-29, as the teams combined for 42 fourth-quarter points. The Boilermakers outlasted Virginia Tech and there was a weather related delay of nearly 5 1/2 hours in last weekend's 24-17 road triumph.

They fell 35-7 at No. 2 Michigan on Saturday as UNLV quarterback Doug Brumfield was 10 of 19 for 100 yards passing, while backup Jayden Maiava went 5 of 7 for 68 yards. UNLV, which was playing without injured starting left guard Alani Makihele, had no turnovers vs. the Wolverines. Rebels have enough to win his one on the field. Take UNLV! |

09-14-23 | Vikings +6 v. Eagles | Top | 28-34 | Push | 0 | 20 h 54 m | Show |
Money Game winner Minnesota at Philadelphia 8:15 ET Vikings (+) over Eagles- My original thoughts on this meeting is that the Eagles will play a better game this week than they did in their opening week win at New England. This season it would be fitting for Minnesota to take a big fall after a string of close wins last year and it might be catch up with them where they lose close games. In my way of thinking I should be all over the Vikings after a home loss but with just 41 yards rushing they shouldn’t do much better against this one of the NFL’s tougher defenses. But, Philly managed just 251 yards on offense against the Patriots. Not, enough tonight. Take MINNESOTA! |

09-14-23 | Navy +13.5 v. Memphis | 24-28 | Win | 100 | 8 h 27 m | Show | |
Navy at Memphis 7:30 Midshipman (+) over Tigers- Navy’s opening defeat to Notre Dame in Dublin saw them get torn to shreds both on the ground and through the air. Running back Audric Estime gained 95 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries for the Irish, but he also caught two passes for 26 yards. The Navy defensive coordinator last season Brian Newberry is now their head coach. The Tigers are off a win against the softest team on their schedule and will find the Middies a tougher competitor. Take NAVY! |

09-10-23 | Cowboys -3 v. Giants | 40-0 | Win | 100 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
Dallas at New York Giants 8:15 ET Cowboys (-) over Giants- New York started last season 7-2, stumbled down the stretch, eventually made the playoffs and beat the Minnesota Vikings in the wild-card round before losing to Philadelphia. Dallas has one of its most talented collections of players in recent memory and wants to avoid under performing in the playoffs, in owner Jerry Jones' eyes. New York arrived on the playoff scene ahead of schedule last year and is bringing back the same core with some improvements on both sides of the ball. The Cowboys are again rolling with Dak Prescott as the starting quarterback. He was criticized for throwing 15 interceptions a year ago, but the Cowboys are confident he will "own" a revamped offense with head coach Mike McCarthy taking over play-calling. The Cowboys have won 11 of the past 12 meetings with the Giants, including another prime-time visit to New Jersey last September, a 23-16 Monday night victory. They do it again...Take DALLAS! |

09-10-23 | Eagles v. Patriots +3.5 | 25-20 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 22 m | Show | |
Megabucks Philadelphia at New England 4:25 ET Patriots (+) over Eagles- There is a history of Super Bowl losers having a bigger hangover than the big game’s winner. Philadelphia blew a 24-14 halftime lead against Kansas City and they realize it is long road to get back to that game. New England has been picked to finish last in the AL East Division and very little is expected of them this season. That is always a time to watch out as professionals do like to be counted out before the games are even played. Early season play is a live with the dogs as their spirits are still high for the season. Look for the Patriots to ambush the Eagles in their season opener. Take NEW ENGLAND! |

09-10-23 | Packers +1.5 v. Bears | Top | 38-20 | Win | 100 | 4 h 20 m | Show |
Green Bay at Chicago 4:25 ET Packers (+) over Bears- This an opportunity for the Packers to a man to show the league and the public that they can win without having to rely on Aaron Rodgers. Chicago has put their future in the hands of quarterbacks Justin Field who may be the worst passing QB in the NFL but he may also be the best runner. Having run for 1,146 yard last season set all kinds of records but he only had two games with more than 200 yards passing as the Bears were dead last by a far margin in passing yardage. the best quarterback on the field will be Jordan Love who finally gets his chance to show his stuff and he will. Take GREEN BAY! |

Auburn at California 10:30 ET Golden Bears (+) over Tigers- Auburn an SEC power for years opened the season with a 59-14 win over a non-competitive UMass team that was out of their league. With a load of transfers the Tigers ran for 289 yards and six touchdowns. Like Auburn, Cal had a lot of success running the ball in its season-opening win over North Texas. The Bears' ground attack finished with 357 yards and six touchdowns. Dynamic runner Jaydn Ott averaged 9.4 yards per carry and finished with 188 yards and two scores. Isaiah Ifanse tallied 54 yards and three TDs. Ben Finley replaced an injured Sam Jackson and completed 24 of 34 passes for 289 yards and a touchdown. Cal has enough...take CALIFORNIA |

Oregon at Texas Tech 7:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Ducks- Two years ago I was spewing about the incompetence of Auburn quarterback Bo Nix who transferred to Oregon last season. Well, the move has done him good and he has matured into a Heisman front runner leading the Ducks to an 81-7 romp over Portland State going 23-of-27 for 287 yards. Texas Tech was a beaten favorite (-14) as Vegas Hotline winner Wyoming won outright 35-33. The Red Raiders opened a 17-0 first quarter lead and then tried to rest on their laurels. Returning home the will be ready for the Ducks who are flying high but will be shocked by the Raiders intensity. Take TEXAS TECH! |

SMU at Oklahoma 6:30 ET Mustangs (+) over Sooners- We have seen this before! Oklahoma starts the season by annihilating an undermanned opponent and this year is no different as the routed Arkansas State 73-0. SMU started fast building a 31-0 halftime lead defeating Louisiana Tech 38-14. The Mustangs put up 465 yards on offense and held Tech to 38rds rushing. They can keep it close with their balanced offense. Take SMU! |

Utah at Baylor 12:000 ET Bears (+) over Utes- Utah had their way in their opener hosting Florida dominating the Gators in a 24-11 win while holding them to 13 yards rushing in 21 attempts. Baylor (-26) was ambushed by Texas State 42-31 outright while out-gaining the Bobcats by over 100 yards. The Bears passed for 416 yards but three turnover did them in. Quarterback question for the Bears but they will claw their way to an ATS of not outright win here. Take BAYLOR! |

Hey, not so fast, this will be the first real football that they will play and the adjustment might be more difficult than they conceive. NC State slept walked through 416their opening 24-14 win at Connecticut in a non-cover victory.

Nebraska at Colorado 12:00 ET Cornhuskers (+) over Buffaloes- If you have not seen the highlights of Colorado’s upset victory over TCU them you have missed an awesome display of raw speed, quickness, great instinct and football awareness. The Buffaloes’ behind QB Shedeur Sanders set a school record of 510 yards passing and four touchdowns completely 37-of-48 attempts. The Buffs did surrender 262 yards rushing and this week they will face a club that in know for running the ball and they gained 181 yards on the ground against Minnesota in their 13-10 loss. Colorado will spend the week a ‘Mile High’ off their 21-point upset win. Take NEBRASKA! |

Jayhawks QB Jalon Daniels was replace because of injury by Jason Bean who went 22-of-28 for two TD’s and 276 yards. These two meet for the first time since 1968 and the first time in Lawrence since 1892. Jayhawks still just 3-8 in their last 11 overall and being favored here is a bit of a stretch. Take ILLINOIS! |

During the off-season the Lions were seen by the public as the possible upstart Division and a futures winner. Kansas City will most likely be without Travis Kelce and believe me it won’t matter all that much. Since taking over in Kansas City coach Andy Reid is 9-1 in opening week and undefeated since Mahomes arrival. The Chiefs have the pride that comes with being a champion...take KANSAS CITY! |

Clemson at Duke 8:00 ET Blue Devils (+) over Tigers- I’m not so sure this isn’t a hate bet against the Tigers as they have been so disappointing ATS in the past (at least when it seems I had them). Clemson went 11-3 last season and once again dominated the ACC having one of the easiest schedules in the nation. Duke under first year coach Mike Elco won nine of 13 decisions their highest win total since 2014. The Blue Devils return 98% of their offensive production while Clemson lost four player to the NFL draft. Devils deep enough and talented enough to bring this one sown to the final gun (do they still do that...Nah). Take DUKE! |

Texas Tech at Wyoming 7:30 ET Cowboys (+) over Red Raiders- Texas tech finished strong last season defeating Mississippi 42-25 in the Texas Bowl winning their last four games. Wyoming coach Craig Bohl is well-versed in Red Raiders history. He was defensive coordinator at both Rice and Nebraska before carving out success at North Dakota State and Wyoming. The Red Raiders led FBS by going on fourth down 52 times last season with a 63.5 percent success rate. Wyoming will counter with a running attack designed to play keep-away from the Red Raiders. Opening game on the road the Red Raiders may not be perfectly in sync. Take WYOMING! |

The Green Wave have been hit hard by players moving on and must replace their top running back who rushed for 1,581 yards and 19 TDs. The Jaguars finished 10-3 in 2022 and have 20 returning starters and tied at 7-1 for the USA West title. They were manhandled in the New Orleans Bowl 44-23 by Western Kentucky and return to the Super Dome with better results this time. Take SOUTH ALABAMA! |

Rhule is taking over a 4-9 Nebraska team that lost five games by one score last season. Minnesota went 9-4 last season and won five of their final six games including a huge 44-27 win in the Pinstripe Bowl over Syracuse.

Kansas City vs. Philadelphia 6:30 ET Chiefs (+) over Eagles- Let us hope that out boy MVP Patrick Mahomes is as healthy as the KC brass are telling us he is. There have been things said that leads me to think that they are not been completely forthright. I like the Chiefs here especially with the public (so far) and for the most part backing the Eagles. The part that I don’t get is why is everybody (well it seems that everybody) is willing to play against the leagues MVP and best player. I guess when it comes down to it the number for the Philadelphia defense are the dominate factor, ranking No. 1 against the pass and leading the league in sacks. No matter here. Take KANSAS CITY! |

San Francisco at Philadelphia 3:00 ET 49ers (+) over Eagles- Well, I believe that the two best teams in the NFC made it into the Championship game which has the No. 1 seed hosting No. 2. The storyline here is has multiple facets as the emergence of quarterbacks Jalen Hurts who many believe had this kind of potential and Brock Prudy that he was the least respected player drafted. You guys don’t need me to guide you in this game if you or even I can figure out who will win the turnover battle. San Fran is 15-0 in their last 15 games when they have either won or tied the turnover battle. Niners enter this contest riding a 12-game win streak and are 20-6 ATS in January while the Eagles are 1-6 ATS in January. Look for a purdy win...take SAN FRANCISCO! |

San Francisco brings the No. 1 defense against the NFL inception leader in Zak Prescott who has thrown 16 to the opposition while missing five and a half games. After last weeks win I was sure that I would be on the 49ers but the odds maker has deemed this the bogus line on the week.The price here is ridiculously low for the two teams resume and looks way too inviting for the favorite. Cowboys 12-5-1 ATS in their last 18 road games and the road team is 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take DALLAS! |

01-22-23 | Bengals v. Bills -5.5 | 27-10 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 29 m | Show | |
Cincinnati at Buffalo 3:00 ET Bills (-) over Bengals- One of the most surprising aspects of the Bengals season is that they were the Super Bowl loser and had the best point spread record (13-4) in the NFL this season. Cincinnati was so lucky to survive a flawed Ravens team last week when we all saw it the game swung 14 points on one play. Usually, it is said that one play among all the plays in a game will not be the difference...HA. The Bengals are without three offensive line starters and although Joe Burrow has been able to withstand numerous sacks in the past it all will take its toll sooner or later. They were out-gained in both of their last two games by Baltimore and have been behind in yardage to opponents in 11 of their 16 games. Take BUFFALO! |

New York at Philadelphia 8:15 ET Eagles (-) over Giants- The Giants actually looked like a real football team in their win at Minnesota last Sunday as Danny Dimes delivered his best game in his four year career. His most important contribution was the 80 yards rushing on seven attempts that kept New York’s drives alive. Playing against the Vikings defense was a treat that the Giants won’t see again. Ole Danny Dimes will have to deal with the NFL’s No. 1 passing defense and the No. 2 defense overall allowing just 301 YPG. New York’s defense who people are raving about their improvement is still ranked No. 25 allowing 358 YPG while the Eagles offense is No. 3 overall gaining 390 YPG. Hurts will be back after four weeks (all non-covers). This time they hold court. Take PHILADELPHIA! NOTE: Originally this game was posted in error with the Giants as the side...They are NOT. |

Dallas at Tampa Bay 8:15 ET Cowboys (-) over Buccaneers- Other than Aaron Rodgers no other quarterback has taken the verbal beating that the Cowboys Dak Prescott has incurred this week after his pitiful 14-for-37 for 128 yard performance with one interception against at Washington in their season final. Just throw that game out as Dallas knew Philadelphia would handle the Giants easily and they just went through the motions an never real put forth an effort. If the NFL ever cared about a team laying down it was that one as the Boys has 64 rushing yards and just 182 total yards the lowest in the league this season. but, believe it or not Tampa Bay who has the worst rushing game in the NFL averaged just 12 more yards per game than that output. Tom Brady is 7-0 lifetime against Dallas including a win to opening season. Despite have the No. 2 rated passing game behind Mahomes the Buccaneers will not be able to overcome the coach of Todd Bowles and OC Byron Leftwich who blame their inefficiency on injuries. It’s a poor cobbler who blames his tools. I should note that Prescott missed five games and still led the league in interceptions.You will see a different Cowboys club Monday night as this is one game he will not miss. Take DALLAS! |

Baltimore at Cincinnati 8:15 ET Ravens (+) over Bengals- Will he or will he not...nah no way that Lamar Jackson plays and that means that Baltimore will rely on their No. 4 starter a quarterback. Anthony Brown will most likely get the start as back-up No. 3 Tyler Huntley was limited in practice thru Thursday. Brown made his first career start last week against these same Bengals and was 19-of-44 for 286 but had a pair of interceptions and a lost fumble. having seen the Cincy defense as fresh as last week should be helpful. Ravens defense isn’t what is once was but is still No. 10 allowing just 324 YPG. but still No. 3 against the run allowing just 92 YPG while Bengals run game is ranked near the bottom at 29 and the Ravens even without Jackson are No. 2 in rushing at 160 YPG. Play BALTIMORE! |

New York Giants at Minnesota 4:40 ET Really now Giants Vikings- Really now, I haven’t hear one person this week say that they like the Vikings in this game. In Las Vegas it seems everyone is enamored by the Giants and are predicting an outright win but with just 3-points to work with that is not such a stretch.No one believes that Minnesota is as good as their 13-4 record would indicate. These two played one of the most exciting game of the season on Christmas eve as the Vikings pulled out a 27-24 win as Greg Joseph made a 61-yard field goal as time expired. A little clash of trends to fog your head has the Giants 7-0 ATS after a SU loss and the road team is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings but...the favorite is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Do what you want...Take MINNESOTA |

Miami at Buffalo 1:00 ET Bills (-) over Dolphins- Man if you don’t like the Bills to win here you must be stuck on the 1972 undefeated Dolphins. Miami is a shipwreck with 25-year old rookie Skylar Thompson at quarterback who completed 20-of 31 passes against the Jets last week but just for 152 yards as the Dolphins failed to score a touchdown. The Bills split the series each winning at home but Miami was 2-0 ATS. Josh Allen Buffalo’s most valuable asset has 400 passing yards in the loss and threw four TDS in the victory and he is 8-2 against Miami. The Dolphins who started the season 8-3 have not won a playoff game since 2000 and that stat will remain. Take BUFFALO! |

LA Chargers at Jacksonville 8:15 ET Jaguars (+) over Chargers- With the way Jacksonville finished the season winning their last five and 6-of-7 that the public would side with the Jaguars. Not-so from what I have seen so far as the Chargers and Herbert is what the public likes. Sure why not they have great tam colors and no matter which uniform they decide to wear (except of course that deep navy they sometimes wear) they are always pleasing to the eye. Okay, enough that. The Jaguars trek to the playoffs was so unlikely as they have had coaching issues and were only 4-29 the last two seasons and started this year 2-6 so they were 6-35 before their flash finish. Trevor Lawrence is of course the key to the Jags moving forward and will key personnel hurting for LA and a home field the improbable may happen. The Chargers are 9-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings including 5-0 ATS at Jacksonville. But, the lone Jaguars win and cover came in week 3 when the Jags pounded a wounded Chargers club 38-10 with Lawrence throwing three TDS. Jax 5-1-1 ATS versus the AFC. Take JACKSONVILLE! |

Seattle at San Francisco 4:30 ET Seahawks (+) over 49ers- Here we go with my nominee for MVP Geno Smith leading the upstart Seahawks in the Wildcard weekend against the NFL’s most dominating defense owned by San Francisco. The 49ers defeated Seattle twice 2-13 (-5) and 27-7 (-8.5) holding the Seahawks to a total 493 yards combined in both games. On the season they allow just 300. which is truly amazing when you think of today’s NFL offenses. The Niners also come with the No. 5 offense even with their season long quarterback issues thy have the No. 8ranked rushing attack while the Seattle rush defense is ranked 30 out of 32 allowing 150 yard on the ground per week. But, sometimes the numbers just don’t pan out. QB Brock Purdy who every knows was the final pick in the 2022 draft has been excellent at protecting the ball while throwing multiple touchdown passes in six straight games (how bout dat). Here’s some fun stuff. Hawks are 6-2 ATS in eight Wild Card games and despite their two losses this season the Seahawks are 15-7-1 ATS in the last 23 meetings. But the balance the stats SF is 8-0 ATS against the NFC West this season...they finish 8-1 ATS. Take SEATTLE! |

TCU vs Georgia 7:30 ET Bulldogs (-) over Horned Frogs- It has been a beautiful ride for 200-to-1 Horned Frogs but they will seem like toads after the way Georgia tough tenacious bulldog defense closes them down. Yeah, that defense that has allowed 71 points their last two games and yet they still rank fifth nationally in scoring defense at 14.6 PPG. TCU is tied for fourth nationally scoring 41.1 PPG but may be without their leading rusher Kendre Miller (1,399 yard rushing and 17 TDS. He will be missed and the Bulldogs defense will hone in on QB Max Duggan who wasn’t even the opening day starter. Yeah, this Sonny Dykes is a genie. Duggan had 41 touchdown passes before this his senior season and Dykes had him benched before the season started. TCU is 5-11 ATS in last 16 games at neutral sites while Dogs are 8-3 ATS in last 11 bowl games and 15-7 on neutral sites. Okay, enough of all that. The line is ridiculously high and there is a reason for that...take GEORGIA! |

Detroit behind Jared Goff has the No. 4 offense in the entire NFL and are averaging 384 YPG while the packers have been in and out and are ranked No. 16 as Goff has out-performed Rodgers. The Lions have come on strong and are 12-2 ATS versus the NFC North and they are 8-1 ATS overall last nine and they are 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take DETROIT! |

Think about it, think about what we have seen out of Denver and Russell Wilson and then think of what we have seen Justin Herbert do. Now, think of how many points LA is favored by over the 4-12 Broncos whose offense is so inept they set an NFL record for fewest points by a team after 10 games and they still scored just 16 PPG. Chargers are locked-in there playoff spot and will be resting. Well, one thing is that The Broncos have always played the Chargers tough as they are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings and they are 5-1 ATS in six meetings at home.Take DENVER! |

There will be no contest! I don’t care who is the Eagles quarterback because their defense will disassemble New York offense especially with the limited time that’s gong to be given to the starters for New York. A win for Philadelphia will assure them the No. 1 seed and a bye week. After two losses they are ready to re-establish their NFC dominance. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Cleveland at Pittsburgh 1:00 ET Browns (+) over Steelers- If turn-about is fair play then this one should work out just fine. It was in the final Monday Night game last season when the favored Browns when into to Pittsburgh and were eliminated from the payoffs and Mike Tomlin insured himself another winning season. This time around the Browns are already out of the post season and Pittsburgh needs a win here to have a shot. This to me makes the line very shallow as the home team is motivated incentive and a reason to play. Pittsburgh needs to win and for the Patriots to lose to Buffalo (very possible) and for the Jets to beat Miami also very possible. The Steelers have won three straight to get into this position as most thought (as did I ) that they were dead in the water a month ago. Kenny Pickett the Pitt rookie has out preformed veteran Deshaun Watson who has led the browns on just three TD drives in five starts. So, he better be ready for the Steel Curtain (sorry guys not even close) but it will be Mick Chubb who has averaged 147.3 yards rushing. Take CLEVELAND |

New York Jets at Miami 1:00 ET Jets over Dolphins- Both of these clubs thought that they were going to the playoffs at the halfway point...Ha it is a long season and both the Jets and Dolphins failed miserably in the second half. After a 5-2 start New York won just two of their next nine games. As for Miami they started 3-0 lost three straight and then won five straight before December and were 8-3 but haven’t won since dropping their last five games. Both clubs are short on quarterbacks and are using their fourth different starter of the season. For Miami it will be back to their third stringer Skyer Thompson who has yet to win a game. The Jets will not be playing Zach Wilson at QB under any circumstances and with Mike White once again is play hurt and will be sidelined with a rib injury. Jets have the No. 3 overall defense allowing just 311.6 YPG, while Miami’s offense is ranked No. 6 gaining 368 YPG (note: most of those yards came when Tua was leading the charge). Take NEW YORK! |

Tampa Bay at Atlanta 1:00 ET Falcons (-) over Buccaneers- Who’s favored here...and Tom Brady says that the Buccaneers will go all out here, although they are locked into their playoff spot. I personally like him but I don’t believe him, yes he is right that they need to work but gee it’s week 18 and they can’t fix it in one week. Think of it Atlanta is favored and not just by a field goal. Tampa Bay is a sucker play and don’t fall for it. Bet no them the first week of the playoffs if you want but NOT here. Take ATLANTA! |

01-07-23 | Chiefs -8 v. Raiders | Top | 31-13 | Win | 100 | 22 h 54 m | Show |
Kansas City at Las Vegas 4:30 ET Chiefs (-) over Raiders- Oh my how the Raiders supporters are rallying around Jarrett Stidham because of the 500 yards of offense that Las Vegas accumulated against the NFL top defense owned by San Francisco. The Niners thought that they would cruise through Las Vegas but this is the NFL and for the most part you have to earn your wins and they did in the end as the new Tom Brady is emerging. Unlike SF, KC has something to play for, a number one seed and a first round bye in the playoffs. The Chiefs have defeated the Raiders 9-of-10 including a come-from-behind 30-29 win on a Monday night after trailing 17-0 in October. Mahomes eats up the Riders throwing 26 TD passes and only three INTs. That was Stidman’s first start anywhere since 2018 when Auburn played Purdue in the Music City Bowl. And guess what, he was limited in practice this week because of a sore elbow. Take KANSAS CITY! |

01-02-23 | Utah v. Penn State +1.5 | Top | 21-35 | Win | 100 | 24 h 49 m | Show |
Penn State vs Utah 5:00 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Utes- So far, when I hear people speak of this game they feel Utah will destroy Penn State and the first thing I think of is, that gee the line is under a field goal how much better can they be. The Utes were the favorites to be the Pac-12 team to break into the CFP and did what we here expected be over-rated and win out in the end but still be short of their season goal. The Utes won six of their final seven games capping with a crushing pounding of USC. Unheralded Penn State finished 10-2 and their losses came at the hands of two CFP participants Michigan and Ohio State and I don’t think the Utes are of that stature. The Lions have not had a large number of transfers leaving (probably because these guys actually go to school and graduate). here we go with the Pac12 non-conference where Utah is 4-10 ATS while the Nittany Lions are 13-6-1 ATS in non-conference games. Take PENN STATE! |

01-02-23 | Purdue v. LSU -15 | 7-63 | Win | 100 | 20 h 50 m | Show | |
Purdue vs Louisiana State 1:00 ET Tigers (-) over Boilermakers- In a times where ridiculous lines have become commonplace this one turns my head as the odds makers are giving the Boilermakers no respect. The feelings must be so hurt that maybe the lack of respect will lessen their self confidence...man, this is way out of whack. Or is it! Under further review we find Purdue in shambles. Not only has their head coach left with members of his staff and they are left with just 38 scholarship players after the transfer portal was busy including their All-American QB Adian O’Connell and his record setting receivers along with All Big Ten linebackers. Tigers 20-8 ATS after a loss and 52 ATS in their last seven bowls. Lay it...take LSU! |

01-02-23 | Tulane +2.5 v. USC | Top | 46-45 | Win | 100 | 20 h 52 m | Show |
Tulane vs USC 1:00 ET Green Wave (+) over Trojans- Usually when teams like this meet in a major bowl like the Cotton Bowl and once is a conference champion and one is not I would most likely side against the conference winner. But, this battle sets up differently. Granted both teams are 11-2 and deserve to be here but the disappointment USC feels after beating by Utah had many players despondent and have opted out of this to them meaningless exhibition. Not only will Heisman winner Celeb Williams sit out (finger injury) but so are a pair of offensive line starters and their Biletnikoff Trophy winning receiver is getting ready for the draft I always thought the best way to get read is to play and show your wares). The Green Wave have talent and will be excited to play in the school’s first Cotton Bowl appearance and they are 15-3 ATS in their last 18 games being under-valued while USC is 0-5 ATS in their last five bowl games and 1-11 ATS in their last 12 games at neutral sites. Take TULANE! |

01-02-23 | Mississippi State v. Illinois +2.5 | 19-10 | Loss | -107 | 19 h 53 m | Show | |
Mississippi State vs Illinois 12:00 ET Illini over Bulldogs- Looks like a pretty even match to me with both teams 8-4 on the season ranked at No. 22 for Mississippi State and No. 21 Illinois. The situation with the passing of State’s coach Mike Leech puts it all in a different prospective. Most feel that the Gipper is showing up and that the Bulldogs with heavy hearts pull off a miracle victory...Nah, not here, Illinois coach Bret Bielema has the nation’s No. 1 scoring defense allowing just 12.3 PPG. Three members of his staff have left for greener pastures as Bret signed a $6 million a year through 2028. So, they lost coaches but Mississippi has lost 10 players to the transfer portal and I think they will come up short here. The Illini haven’t won a Bowl game since 2011 in the Hungry Bowl and they are hungry now! Take ILLINOIS! |

01-01-23 | Panthers v. Bucs -3.5 | 24-30 | Win | 100 | 15 h 50 m | Show | |
Carolina at Tampa Bay 1:00 ET Buccaneers (-) over Panthers- When you ranked dead last in rushing in the NFL averaging at only 77 yards per game you have no business playing for the division title, but somehow Tampa Bay with Tom Brady at QB they can accomplish that feat with a win at home today. The Buc’s have been burning their backers money the entire season and have covered just once in their last 13 games covering 3 1/2 months. After a horrid start Carolina has gone 5-5 under Steve Wilks and can win the division with a victory here and again next week at New Orleans (Not gonna happen). The Panthers have covered just once in their last five trips to Tampa Bay and the favorite is 5-1 ATS in the last is meetings. Take TAMPA BAY! |

01-01-23 | Colts +5.5 v. Giants | 10-38 | Loss | -109 | 15 h 47 m | Show | |
Indianapolis at New York Giants 1:00 ET Colts (+) over NY Giants- Man what great memories of the Baltimore Colts with Johnny Unitas, Lenny Moore and their own marching band. I was nine years old an in attendance of that 1958 NFL Championship game that went into overtime (1st ever) with the Colts Allen Ameche scoring a touchdown to cover as 3.5-point favorites.It is said Baltimore owner Carroll Rosenberg instructed coach Beeb Embank to pass on the field goal to score the TD to win 23-17. Now-a-days he would only have to call one of the NFL advertising sponsors to get down. Take INDIANAPOLIS! |

01-01-23 | Browns +2.5 v. Commanders | Top | 24-10 | Win | 100 | 15 h 49 m | Show |
Cleveland at Washington 1:00 ET Browns (+) over Commies- This line looks a bit short to me when you consider where these two teams are and who is going to play. Let me start with Washington who despite not winning a game in a month still controls their own destiny as they must of course win here and then at Dallas next week. For Cleveland there is no such pressure as they have been eliminated from playoff competition. But we will have everybody’s favorite human being Deshaun Watson at QB once again and he is 2-2 in his four starts and is off a Christmas Day performance that looked like he wanted to be somewhere else completing just 15 of 31 passes for 135 yard, no TDS and 1 INT. Carson Wentz was a starter when these guys were called Redskins (How dare they) and now he is back as the original starter in the most important game of the season against a non-play off, sub. 500 team and they are favored by less that a field goal. I don’t buy it and neither should you. Take CLEVELAND! 2 |

01-01-23 | Saints +5.5 v. Eagles | Top | 20-10 | Win | 100 | 15 h 48 m | Show |
New Orleans at Philadelphia Saints (+) over Eagles- If Philadelphia wins they lock up the number 1 seed in the NFL and if the Saints fail they will be eliminated from the post season. All things being even both side had the same talent the same situation you would have to say the team getting disqualified is greater motivation. That being said even with Gardner Minshew leading the charge the Eagles are stronger. The Saints defense has stepped it up the last eight games and are allowing just 15.6 points per game over that span. They have won their last two and will be entering this contest with a lot of confidence and a lot to play for. The Saints are 40-19 ATS in their last 59 road games while the Eagles are 1-4 ATS against teams with losing records. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

12-31-22 | Ohio State +6.5 v. Georgia | Top | 41-42 | Win | 100 | 21 h 59 m | Show |
Ohio State vs Georgia 8:00 ET Buckeyes (+) over Bulldogs- I so love this side so much it scares me because I have never considered the other side and usually you look for pros and cons to support your position but don’t care here. Ohio State last played against Michigan and they had a second half that was an anomaly and outscored the Buckeyes 28-3 although the Buckeyes had more total yards and seven more first downs. There is no doubt in my mind that Georgia is the best ream I have seen this season but they don’t win ever game by 50 points. Both clubs have stellar defenses as with the Bulldogs who are ranked No. 2 nationally in scoring defense allowing just 12.8 ppg while Ohio State is No. 13 allowing 19.2 ppg. Bulldogs are 3-8 ATS following an ATS win. Take OHIO STATE! |

12-31-22 | TCU +8 v. Michigan | Top | 51-45 | Win | 100 | 17 h 11 m | Show |
TCU vs Michigan 4;00 ET Wolverines (-) over Horned Frogs- My first thoughts were that Michigan who dominated Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship game and opened such strong favorites would just run rough shod over the Horned Frogs. The number has come down and so have I on the Wolverines. Remembering that any team rarely looks as good one game to another and things just don’t always fall into place. so, here TCU losers of the Big 12 Championship game to Kansas State is in the CFP and not many expect much of them here. Frogs looking to prove they belong and have a chip-on-their-should after backing into the CFP. Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN! |

Iowa vs Kentucky 12:00 ET Hawkeyes over Wildcats- Last Bowl season these two met in the Citrus bowl a game that Iowa dominated and Kentucky won 21-17. Both clubs have been challenged offensively this season and both with be down to their third string backup quarterbacks as injuries and transfer abound. The Wildcats will also be without their top running back and although the Hawkeyes will be without their starting QB he was so ineffective any replacement even a 3rd stringer could be much worse looking for revenge the Hawkeyes defense could rule the day but their offense is that bad. Take KENTUCKY! |

12-31-22 | Kansas State +7 v. Alabama | Top | 20-45 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 18 m | Show |
Alabama vs Kansas State 12:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Crimson Tide- The question here is just how motivated are the Crimson Tide going to be after all their goal is the CFP and they are even playing on New Year’s Day. Nick Saban is aware as he keeps insisting this game is important to them. Alabama’s QB Bryce Young the 2021 Heisman winner will play but the Tide have lost 15 players to the transfer portal including five offensive lineman. While Alabama was the preseason No. 1 Kansas State was even ranked in the Top-25 but managed to hand undefeated TCU their lone loss in the Big-12 title game. Bama just 1-5 ATS against teams with winning records while the Wildcats are 4-1 ATS against winning teams and are 5-1 ATS at neutral sites. Take KANSAS STATE! |

12-30-22 | Clemson -5.5 v. Tennessee | Top | 14-31 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 45 m | Show |
Tennessee vs Clemson 8:00 ET Tigers (-) over Volunteers- Both of these clubs will be without their starting quarterbacks and for one side the impact will be too much to overcome and for the other it is a blessing. Clemson’s Dabo Swinney insisted that DJ Uiagaleli be the tigers quarterback and it took almost two full season’s before he benched because of overall poor play and now he’s in the transfer portal. Tennessee is not as pleased that QB Hendon Hooker tore his ACL and will be replaced by Joe Milton III (yes that Joe Milton III) who’s talents are still unknown. The Tigers QB Cade Klubnik entered the ACC Championship game in the second quarter and went 20-24 for 279 yards. The Volunteers are 0-4 ATS at neutral sites while the Tigers are 20-6 ATS at neutral site and 11-3 ATS in their last 14 bowl games. Take CLEMSON! |

Ohio vs Wyoming 4:30 ET Bobcats over Cowboys- Ohio was 3-9 last season and had the biggest college football single season turn around this year going 9-4 this year. The turn around is due to QB Kurtis Rourke a fourth year starter but he will not be playing due to a torn meniscus. Wyoming who ended their season with a 30-0 loss at Fresno State and will be without their top rusher but have able runners to back up the run game. The Bobcats without their QB have a bigger gap to make up and the just don’t perform well out of conference where they are 1-9 ATS in their lat 10. Cowboys 6-1 ATS after a SU loss and are 4-0 ATS in their last four bowl games. Take WYOMING! |

Notre Dame vs South Carolina 3:30 ET Gamecocks (+) over Fighting Irish- Man, this is a tough call with all the defections and transfers and such but there has got to be a winner and I believe we have one. We’ve heard in a million times in our life and that is what goes around comes around and nothing could be better for Notre Dame quarterback Tyler Buchner who started the season as the Fighting Irish starting QB but an injury sidelined him until Drew Payne was force to enter the transfer portal. Both of the Fighting Irish defensive and offensive captains have opted out including impact player and All-American tight end Michael Mayer which is a huge loss. Spencer Rattler the transfer form Oklahoma got hot the second half of the season and lead the Gamecocks who have no run game to speak of to a 7-2 close of the season with upset wins over Tennessee and Clemson. look for more of the same. Take SOUTH CAROLINA! |

12-30-22 | Pittsburgh +8 v. UCLA | 37-35 | Win | 100 | 11 h 37 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh vs UCLA 2:00 ET Panthers (+) over Bruins- The quarterback position is up for grabs for both schools in this year’s Sun Bowl as UCLA’S Dorian Thompson-Robinson hasn’t decided if he’s going to play or not while former USC QB Kedon Slovis Pittsburgh’s starter for the season has once again entered the transfer portal and won’t be around. Nick Patti filled in for Kenny Pickett in last year’s Peach Bowl but broke his collarbone in the first quarter and will get the start here. The Panthers really don’t mind who is under center because of their three-headed running trio that average nearly 200 yard son the ground. As part of the Pac-12 it isn’t surprising that the Bruins are 2-7 ATS against winning teams and 7-19-1 ATS in their last 27 non-conference games. Take PITTSBURGH! |

12-29-22 | Washington v. Texas -3 | Top | 27-20 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 16 m | Show |
Texas vs Washington 9:00 ET Longhorns (-) over Huskies- Okay here we go with that ‘don’t make sense’ shit. Washington is 10-2 SU and ranked No. 12 and has the No. 2 ranked offense averaging 521 yards behind Michael Penix Jr. who leads the nation in passing yards averaging 377 yards through the air and had 4, 354 yards on the season. Texas will be without their tow top running backs All-American Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson have both opted out. So, No. 20 Texas who lost four games by a total of 18 points and have their top backs out be favored. Once again I believe the odds maker is trying to tell us something and that is Texas is much better with or without their star players. Take TEXAS! |

Oklahoma vs Florida State 5:30 ET Seminoles (-) over Sooners- They are B-A-C-K! Florida State after a two year bowl absence and will be playing in their back yard for the most part with this game in Orlando. The last time these two met in was in Miami at the Orange Bowl in 2000 as the Sooners closed out a National Championship. This time around as a huge underdog Oklahoma can finish below .500 as they ended up just 3-6 in Big-12 play. The spread on this contest is a bit on the strong side and that is a reflection on the Oklahoma having three of their starting offensive lineman opted out and are preparing for the NFL draft along with running back Eric Gray. The Seminoles are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 Bowl games and the Sooners are 1-6 ATS against teams with winning records. Take FLORIDA STATE! |

The Red Raiders had a five game lull winning just once as QB Tyler Shough returned for their final three games. Ole Miss and Lane Kiffin attract plenty of attention as their no. 8 ranked offense averages 262 yards rushing ranking No. 3 on the ground. rebels closed the season with three straight losses to Alabama, Arkansas and Mississippi State. look for the trends to continue.

Oregon at North Carolina 8:00 ET Ducks (-) over North Carolina- As Al Pacino once said, ‘There is something really really wrong here’... I mean look at the Tar Heels averaging 474 YPG on offense and were averaging over 525 yards a game until their final three outings when they led the nation in offense at season’s mid-point. Carolina closed the season with three straight losses to Georgia Tech, NC State and Clemson gaining 150 yards in each game below their average. Oregon led by Bo Nix did sustain an offense that averaged 508 YPG ranked 4th nationally and scoring 39.7 PPG ranking ninth. Heels surrender 440 YPG and that is their down. Look for the Ducks who opened the season with a 49-3 loss to Georgia and closed their year with a loss at Oregon State to come out strong and will show no mercy. Take OREGON! |

Kansas lost six of their final seven and is playing their first bowl game since 2008. The Jayhawks were 5-0 before TCU and managed just one win against Oklahoma State the rest of the year after QB Jalon Daniels was injured and returned for the final two games losses to Texas and Kansas State.

After a 5-0 start the Cowboys lost five of their last seven games as QB Spencer Sanders when down with an injury and has opted out of this encounter. Wisconsin who fired their coach mid-season will also have inexperience at quarterback as three year starter Graham Mertz who entered the transfer portal and he will be replace with either a senior or freshman who combined have thrown 11 career passes. OK State will also be without their leading rusher and tackler while Badgers 1,000 yard running back Braelon Allen is looking forward to showcasing his talents. Take WISCONSIN! |

Coastal Carolina vs East Carolina 6:45 ET Pirates (-) over Chanticleers- Coastal Carolina has one of the more outstanding quarterbacks in the country in Grayson McCall who has entered the transfer portal but will still play in this game. McCall has thrown for 8,019 yards and 78 TD passes and only eight interceptions as a four-year starter. The Chanticleers can reach 10 wins for the third straight year while the Pirates have won a bowl game in nine years and have had back-to-back winning seasons for the first rime since 2013-14. East Carolina at 7-5 is favored over a 9-3 Coastal team and that seems a bit odd but, the Pirates have QB Holton Ahlers a five year starter who has thrown for 3,408 yards and 23 touchdowns with five interceptions this season. Chanticleers are 2-8 ATS against winning team and are 13-5-1 ATS against winning team. Take EAST CAROLINA! |

Indy has lost four straight including losing the biggest lead in NFL history. Now, don’t you think that would embarrass you. The Chargers have been even better to us as we have no problems fading Herbert in the right spots and this is one of them. Indianapolis has changed quarterbacks once again and this time it will be Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles who with any luck won’t have to face Joey Bosa who does not appear to be ready. The Chargers are 1-3-1 ATS after a SU win and the underdog is 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Colts 5-0 ATS after allowing 30 points or more. Take INDIANAPOLIS! |

With Carolina and New Orleans at 6-9 but holding the tie-breaking edge, so it just adds pressure on an already flawed team. Arizona is already out of the playoff picture and will have former Penn State QB 26-year old first time-starter Trace McSorely under center while the GOAT Tom Brady has started 330 times. Bucs are 1-10-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall and are dead last in rushing. Cardinals 4-0 ATS in the four meetings. Take ARIZONA! |

With both these teams at 4-10 there really shouldn’t be much interest in the match-up except that the Super Bowl Champs are a home underdog to one of the worst offensive teams ever to grace the NFL averaging 15.6 points. With 12 different offensive line-ups and leading the league in sacks allowed and by now have just given up while Hackett’s Broncos are fighting for his job. Take DENVER! |

Las Vegas after horrid start to the season have won 4-of-5 and have blown leads of 13 points or more four this season. Trubisky will sit if Pickett clears protocol and they are just 4-11 after a SU win and the Raiders are 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. Take LAS VEGAS! |

Hurts is out and a Gardner Minshew will run the show and he has been more than capable in his limited play although he was 7-13 as a starter at Jacksonville. He had 186 yards 2 TD’s and an interception against the Cowboys last year in a loss. Dak Prescott was out in the first meeting and will look to raise he stock against one of the top defenses in the NFL. So...lay it! Take DALLAS! |
