11-14-21 | Warriors v. Hornets OVER 224.5 | 102-106 | Loss | -104 | 23 h 50 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Charlotte Hornets have won back to back games, but they rank dead last in the NBA allowing 116 points per game this season. Golden State ranks first in the NBA in scoring, averaging over 116 points per game. The Warriors come in as winners of seven straight, with an overall record of 11-1. The over is 4-1 in Hornets last five home games, and the over is 3-1 in the Warriors last four overall. Don't be surprised to see a high score in a game between two of the highest scoring teams in the NBA. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-14-21 | Bills v. Jets OVER 48 | 45-17 | Win | 100 | 2 h 40 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Jets are a double digit dog at home versus Buffalo, but they might not be as bad as you think. There are 2-1 at home this season, and there is no denying that when Mike White steps in at QB they make things interesting. White has played in three games, completing 73 percent of his passes for 702 yards and five TDs. The Jets have gone over in five straight, and they are 4-1 ATS in their last five games as a home underdog. This might be a get right game for the Bills, but I expect Mike White to put some points on the board for the Jets. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-13-21 | Georgia v. Cincinnati UNDER 138.5 | 68-73 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 42 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The Bearcats gave up just 43 points in their season opener against Evansville, and they are a big favorite Saturday in a home game against Georgia. The Bulldogs scored just 58 points in a win over FIU in their first game of the season. Georgia shot just 35 percent from the field, going 3-of-15 (20%) from beyond the arc despite facing an inferior opponent. A road game against a notorious defensive powerhouse like Cincinnati spells trouble for the Bulldogs. Expect a low score here. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-13-21 | Texas A&M -128 v. Ole Miss | 19-29 | Loss | -128 | 16 h 43 m | Show | |
This is a 7* play on the Aggies. The Rebels offense has been cooking this season, but a string of injuries could prove to be fatal ahead of this marquee matchup against the mighty Aggies defense. Texas A&M ranks second nationally allowing just 14.7 points per game. The Aggies rely on their running game for offense, and Ole Miss ranks at the bottom of the SEC versus the run, allowing almost 200 rushing yards per game. The Rebels are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games as a home underdog, and they have lost their last three versus the Aggies. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-13-21 | Maryland v. Michigan State -12 | 21-40 | Win | 100 | 20 h 10 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play Michigan State. The Spartans suffered a let down after their big win over Michigan. Coming off a loss to Purdue, you can expect Michigan State to get back on track against a Maryland team that has trouble protecting the football. Taulia Tagovailoa has thrown as many INTs (8) as he has TD passes in his last five starts. The Terrapins are 7-19 ATS in their last 26 conference games, and they are 7-22 ATS in their last 29 road games. Kenneth Walker has run for over 300 yards and eight TDs in his last two games in East Lansing. Expect him to light up the scoreboard again today. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-13-21 | Minnesota v. Iowa -175 | 22-27 | Win | 100 | 20 h 39 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Iowa. Minnesota scored just six points in a home loss to Illinois last week, and their injuries are starting to take a toll. Their backfield is thin after their top three running backs all picked up injuries. The next man up had been picking up the slack, until they averaged just 2.5 yards per carry and failed to run for 100 yards in the loss to Illinois. Iowa ran for 185 yards, averaging 4.9 yards per carry in a win over Northwestern last week. Minnesota has failed to cover in five straight versus the Hawkeyes, and I expect that trend to continue this week. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-13-21 | Michigan v. Penn State +105 | 21-17 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 11 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Penn State. The Wolverines will be a road favorite at Penn State this Saturday, and it's as if the bookmakers don't know that Jim Harbaugh has a troubling history in big games in the BIG10. He's just 2-13 against Top 10 ranked teams, and while Penn State isn't even ranked, they were a Top 10 team earlier in the year when they beat Auburn at home, and lost a close game on the road at #3 ranked Iowa. Michigan has lost three of it's last four versus the Nittany Lions, and the home team is 4-1 straight up in the last five meetings. The Nittany Lions are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games as an underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-12-21 | Calgary v. BC OVER 45.5 | 33-23 | Win | 100 | 22 h 12 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. I bet the over when these two teams played four weeks ago, and here is what I said prior to the game: "It's no secret that scoring is down in the CFL this season, and perhaps that can be explained by almost a two year layoff. The bookmakers have been offering lower numbers every week, and I think this presents an opportunity to capitalize on an over-correction. Here in this game both QBs are former league MVPs (MOP). Both teams come in averaging over 23 points per game, even though both these star QBs missed time early in the season. This is by far the lowest total in the previous 10 head to head meetings between these teams, and the average total was over 50." Calgary won that game by a score of 39-10, and I expect another high score here in BC tonight. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-12-21 | Capitals v. Blue Jackets OVER 5.5 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 19 h 51 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Columbus Blue Jackets are coming into Friday's game against Washington off three straight wins, and all of those games went over the total. The over is 12-4 in Blue Jackets last 16 home games, and the over is 9-3 in their last 12 games a home underdog. The Capitals are still one of the highest scoring teams in the NHL, averaging well over three goals per game. The Blue Jackets aren't far behind, and they have won four of their last five versus the Caps. Expect both teams to fill the net tonight. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-11-21 | Heat v. Clippers -2.5 | 109-112 | Win | 100 | 22 h 13 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on LAC. |
|||||||
11-11-21 | Ducks +1.5 v. Seattle Kraken | 7-4 | Win | 100 | 20 h 8 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on ANA. The Ducks will be a big underdog on the road versus the expansion team Seattle Kraken, despite the fact that Anaheim has won five straight overall. The Ducks have the better goaltender in Jon Gibson, who is 6-2-2 with a 2.35 GAA so far. The Ducks are 12-2 ATS this season, covering the puckline in five of their six road games. The Kraken are really struggling with special teams, with the league's worst powerplay and a below average penalty kill. The only reason I can think why Seattle is a favorite, would be that bettors are chasing the magic that they witnessed when the Golden Knights exploded on the scene as an expansion team. The reality is that such early success is the exception, rather than the rule. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-11-21 | Ravens -7.5 v. Dolphins | 10-22 | Loss | -100 | 18 h 18 m | Show | |
This is a 7* play on Baltimore. In case you hadn't noticed, there are two NFL teams that are surely tanking this season. It was perfectly clear when Houston played Miami last week that neither team was all that interested in winning. Jacoby Brissett got the start in place of Tua Tagovailoa, and despite throwing for two picks and getting sacked four times, Miami hung on for a 17-9 win. To say that recent history favors the Ravens would be an understatement. Baltimore has won the last two meetings by a combined score of 99-10. The Ravens have covered in nine straight against the Dolphins, and six of those games were in Miami. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-10-21 | Hornets v. Grizzlies OVER 228.5 | 118-108 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 54 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. This game features the highest total on tonight's NBA card, but there is a good reason for that. Memphis and Charlotte rank 29th and 30th respectively in opponents scoring, and both these teams can score more than their share of points. In fact Charlotte ranks 2nd in the NBA averaging over 114 points per game. The Hornets have gone over in five of their last six overall, and the over is 4-0 in their last five games at Memphis. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-10-21 | Toledo v. Bowling Green OVER 49.5 | 49-17 | Win | 100 | 20 h 49 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. Toledo will come into Bowling Green as a double digit road favorite, and both of these two teams are coming in scoring a ton of points. Bowling Green is coming off a 56-44 win over Buffalo, totaling 484 yards of offense. They allowed Buffalo to tally up 499 yards of offense in that game. Toledo is coming off a 52-49 home loss to Eastern Michigan, in a game where they racked up a whopping 672 yards. The Falcons have gone over in five of their last seven as a home underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-10-21 | Buffalo +16 v. Michigan | 76-88 | Win | 100 | 18 h 24 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Buffalo. The #6 ranked Wolverines will open their season as a double digit favorite against an unranked team from the MAC, but don't for a second think this game will be easy. Buffalo finished second in the MAC last season, and they are bringing back their leading scorer, their leading rebounder, and their assist leader. The Bulls are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog, and they have covered in six straight road games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-09-21 | Kentucky +1.5 v. Duke | 71-79 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 19 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on UK. Kentucky comes in ranked #10, and Duke #9, with the line close to a pickem for the season opener. There isn't much recent history between these teams, with Duke winning the last meeting 118-84 back in 2018. Things change fast for college basketball blue bloods like Duke and Kentucky, with freshmen phenoms arriving year after year, and departing shortly then after. It's the talent that is left behind that should favor Kentucky here this early in the season. Leading scorer Davion Mintz returns with junior Kion Brooks and Oscar Tshiebwe coming over from West Virginia. The Wildcats are 13-3-2 ATS in their last 18 neutral site games as an underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |

8* |
|||||||
11-09-21 | Buffalo v. Miami-OH OVER 57 | 18-45 | Win | 100 | 18 h 31 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Bulls have had a disappointing season so far, and a 56-44 home loss to Bowling Green didn't help matters. They have had two weeks to put that behind them, and they are hoping for a much better effort here on the road at Miami-Ohio. These teams have a history of playing high scoring games, the over is 12-4 in the last 16 head to head meetings. The over is 8-1 in the last nine meetings in Oxford. Both these teams should pile on the points here. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-08-21 | Sabres v. Capitals OVER 5.5 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 6 h 53 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Sabres have shown signs of improvement so far, despite losing four straight. The most notable improvement is on the powerplay, converting on 28 percent of their man advantage opportunities. Buffalo has gone over the total in five of their last six overall, and the over is 5-1 in their last six meetings versus the Capitals. These two teams have gone over the total in five of the last six meetings at Washington. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-07-21 | Predators v. Blackhawks OVER 5.5 | 1-2 | Loss | -113 | 7 h 44 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. Here is what I said prior to Chicago's game against Carolina: "The Hurricanes already beat Chicago 6-3 last week, and we might expect another high score in Chicago tonight. No team has scored more goals than Carolina so far this season, and the Canes powerplay is ranked 3rd in the NHL converting at better than 28 percent. The Hawks also have a decent powerplay, tied for 5th in the league converting on better than 26 percent of their chances. The over is 17-8-3 in the Hurricanes last 28 games as a road favorite, and they have gone over in four of their last five versus Chicago. The over is 9-3 in the Blackhawks last 12 games a home underdog, Patrick Kane scored a hat trick and added an assist in his first game back after missing almost two weeks due to Covid protocols. The Hawks offense should be far better with Kane in the lineup." I like another high scoring game here againstg a Predators team that also has a strong powerplay. GL, Jesse Schule |

|||||||
11-07-21 | Packers +7.5 v. Chiefs | 7-13 | Win | 100 | 98 h 47 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on GB. So Aaron Rodgers is out with Covid, and the line has moved in favor of the Chiefs. Seems like a big overreaction to me. Keep in mind that the Chiefs are tied for last place in the AFC West, and last week just barely beat the Giants who were down their top two WRs and starting RB Saquon Barkley. The Packers still have studs at WR and RB, and a solid defense. The question is, how bad is backup QB Jordan Love? He's going to have to be pretty bad for the Packers to lose this game by more than a TD. We've already seen the Jets win with Mike White, the Cowboys win with Cooper Rush, The Browns win with Case Keenum and the Seahawks win with Geno Smith. Don't be surprised if we add Jordan Love's name to that list. GL, Jesse Schule |

|||||||
11-07-21 | Raiders -165 v. Giants | 16-23 | Loss | -165 | 60 h 43 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on LV. The Raiders continue to face adversity, coming off another week of tragic headlines and scandal. They have already proven that they can overcome these distractions, and I still believe they bring a lot more talent to the table than the sad sacked New York Giants. New York will not have starting RB Barkley and top two WR Sheppard and Galloday. The Giants are 7-20-1 ATS in their last 28 home games, and they are 5-16 ATS in their last 21 games as a home underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-07-21 | Vikings v. Ravens OVER 49.5 | 31-34 | Win | 100 | 47 h 34 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Vikings know they need to be more agressive moving forward. Assistant coach Andre Patterson told reporters this week: "Instead of trying not to lose games, we need to go out and try to win". Being too conservative might explain why the Vikings offense ranks near the top of the league in total yards, but not in points scored. It's only a matter of time before those numbers even out. The over is 10-2 in the Vikings last 12 games following a straight up loss, and they have gone over in five straight road games. These two teams have gone over in five straight head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-06-21 | San Diego State v. Hawaii +7 | 17-10 | Push | 0 | 21 h 37 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Hawaii. Hawaii will be an underdog at home against San Diego State, but the Aztecs aren't the powerhouse they used to be in the Mountain West. San Diego State lost by double digits at home to Fresno State last week, and they gave up almost 500 yards of offense in that game. The Bulldogs lost at Hawaii earlier this season, and it would be no surprise to see the Aztecs struggle on the road here. The Rainbow Warriors are 4-1 ATS in their last five games as a home underdog. Hawaii QB Chevan Coriero played well last week, throwing for 296 yards, three TDs and an INT on 23-of-39 passing in a loss to Utah State. He should keep his team competitive here in this game. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-06-21 | Red Wings v. Sabres OVER 5.5 | 4-3 | Win | 102 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Red Wings will try to snap a four game losing streak in Buffalo tonight, and the Sabres have lost three straight. History tells us we can expect a high scoring affair, as these teams have gone over in four of the last six meetings. The Red Wings rank 29th in the NHL in goals against, allowing an average of over 3.5 goals per game. The over is 6-2 in Red Wings last eight road games, and they have gone over in six straight when coming off a loss by three or more goals. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-06-21 | Newcastle United v. Brighton & Hove Albion OVER 2.5 | Top | 1-1 | Loss | -101 | 35 h 23 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Over 2.5. Brighton Hove Albion is coming off a pair of 2-2 games against Premier League powerhouses Liverpool and Leicester. They host Newcastle today, and they have won their last two versus Newcastle by a combined score of 6-0. Newcastle has conceded 23 goals in 10 matches so far this season, only Norwich has conceded more. The good news for Newcastle is that they have only been held scoreless in one of their last eight matches, scoring nine goals during that span. Expect a high score here. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-06-21 | Wake Forest v. North Carolina OVER 76.5 | 55-58 | Win | 100 | 10 h 9 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. Wake Forest is an offensive juggernaut, coming in averaging over 50 points per game in their last three games, and over 43 points per game this season. They are an underdog on the road at North Carolina, and the Tar Heels are another team that can score more than their share. These two teams have gone over the total in five straight at North Carolina, and the Tar Heels have gone over in five of their last seven overall. This game has shootout written all over it. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-05-21 | Blackhawks v. Jets OVER 6 | 1-5 | Push | 0 | 18 h 5 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. The over is 9-3 in the Blackhawks last 12 games a home underdog, Patrick Kane scored a hat trick and added an assist in his first game back after missing almost two weeks due to Covid protocols. The Hawks offense should be far better with Kane in the lineup. The Jets come in with one of the league's best power play units, however they rank at the bottom of the league on the penalty kill. Special teams could play a big role here, allowing both teams to score their share of goals. The over is 12-5-2 in Blackhawks last 19 overall, and the Jets have gone over in seven of their last eight home games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-05-21 | Spurs v. Magic OVER 211.5 | 102-89 | Loss | -107 | 18 h 48 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The one take away from the early season NBA games is that scoring in general is down as the officials have been calling a lot fewer fouls, giving defenders a significant advantage in comparison to the way the game has been called in recent seasons. The Spurs and the Magic are doing their part to keep scoring up, by refusing to play defense. They are both allowing roughly 110 points per game, well above the league average. These two teams have gone over in six of the last seven meetings, and the over is 15-7 in the last 22 meetings in Orlando. The over is 9-2 in the Magic last 11 home games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-05-21 | BC v. Hamilton OVER 43.5 | 18-26 | Win | 100 | 16 h 22 m | Show | |
This is a 8* play on Over. It's no secret that scoring is down in the CFL this season, and perhaps that can be explained by almost a two year layoff. The bookmakers have been offering lower numbers every week, and I think this presents an opportunity to capitalize on an over-correction. Here in this game the Lions come in with a veteran QB who is coming off a stellar performance. Mike Reilly threw for 290 yards and three TDs in the loss to the Argos. With Lucky Whitehead back from injury, this BC offense is as good as any in the CFL. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-04-21 | Jets v. Colts OVER 45.5 | 30-45 | Win | 100 | 18 h 38 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. Last week the Jets totaled 511 yards and upset the Bengals winning 34-31. Nobody saw it coming, but perhaps we should have been more optimistic about Mike "Effin" White. After all he did step in the previous week and immediately New York's offense started moving the ball. The Colts have been far from perfect, and they have gone over in four of their last five overall. These teams have gone over in seven of the laat 10 head to head meetings, and with Mike "Effin" White under center the Jets offense could make some noise here. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-04-21 | Celtics v. Heat OVER 214 | 95-78 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 58 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The one take away from the early games is that scoring in general is down as the officials have been calling a lot fewer fouls, giving defenders a significant advantage in comparison to the way the game has been called in recent seasons. Two teams that haven't had any problems scoring are Miami (2nd in the NBA averaging 115.6 points per game) and Boston (4th in the NBA averaging 113.9 points per game). These teams have gone over in six of the last seven head to head meetings, and the over is 12-5 in Miami's last 17 games as a home favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-04-21 | Golden Knights v. Senators OVER 5.5 | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 16 h 25 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Senators rank 26th in the NHL allowing 3.3 goals per game, but they are 7-3 in their last 10 home games. They host the Golden Knights who are tied with the Senators in goals against, and they are coming off a 4-0 loss to the Leafs. The Knights are 9-3 in their last 12 games following a loss of 3 or more goals. These two teams have met six times previously, going over the total in five of those six games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-03-21 | Hurricanes v. Blackhawks OVER 5.5 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Hurricanes already beat Chicago 6-3 last week, and we might expect another high score in Chicago tonight. No team has scored more goals than Carolina so far this season, and the Canes powerplay is ranked 3rd in the NHL converting at better than 28 percent. The Hawks also have a decent powerplay, tied for 5th in the league converting on better than 26 percent of their chances. The over is 17-8-3 in the Hurricanes last 28 games as a road favorite, and they have gone over in four of their last five versus Chicago. The over is 9-3 in the Blackhawks last 12 games a home underdog, Patrick Kane scored a hat trick and added an assist in his first game back after missing almost two weeks due to Covid protocols. The Hawks offense should be far better with Kane in the lineup. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-03-21 | Hawks v. Nets UNDER 221 | 108-117 | Loss | -101 | 6 h 47 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The one take away from the early games is that scoring in general is down as the officials have been calling a lot fewer fouls, giving defenders a significant advantage in comparison to the way the game has been called in recent seasons. Nobody has been hit harder by the rule changes than James Harden, who is only averaging 18.6 points per game so far this season. The Hawks are 0-6 ATS in their last six road games, and the under is 10-4 in the Hawks last 14 road games. The under is 8-2 in the Hawks last 10 games as an underdog. Brooklyn has failed to reach the total in five straight at home. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-02-21 | Kings v. Jazz UNDER 220 | 113-119 | Loss | -110 | 30 h 9 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The one take away from the early games is that scoring in general is down as the officials have been calling a lot fewer fouls, giving defenders a significant advantage in comparison to the way the game has been called in recent seasons. The Jazz are one of five teams allowing less than 100 points per game, and they have failed to reach the total in five of their last six overall. The under is 19-6-1 in the Kings last 26 road games, and the under is 9-1 in the Kings last 10 games as a road underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-02-21 | Braves v. Astros OVER 8.5 | 7-0 | Loss | -116 | 29 h 9 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Astros bats came alive in Game 5, and now the series shifts back to Houston and a chance to force a Game 7. Max Fried will toe the slab for Atlanta, and he was rocked in Game 2 of this series. He allowed six runs on seven hits in five innings in a 7-2 loss at Houston. The Astros hand the ball to Luis Garcia, who will be pitching on short rest for the first time of his career. The over is 5-1-1 in the Astros last seven World Series home games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-02-21 | Manchester United v. Atalanta OVER 3 | 2-2 | Win | 100 | 25 h 58 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. I had the over in the first leg of this Champions League tie, and here is what I said prior to that match: "Manchester United lost 4-2 at Leicester in their first Premier League game coming out of the international break, but they look good in a home game in the Champions League versus Atalanta. The Italian side has scored 11 goals while conceding seven in their last five matches in all competitions, and they have scored three goals in two Champions League matches. Manchester United hasn't posted a clean sheet in any of their last eight matches, but they do have the all time leading scorer in Champions League history. I like the Red Devils to win a high scoring contest." GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-01-21 | Giants +10.5 v. Chiefs | 17-20 | Win | 100 | 6 h 28 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on NYG. We all know that the Chiefs are capable of playing a lot better than they have this season. That being said they were not a great first half team even during their Super Bowl seasons. They also weren't great at covering the spread even dating back to last season. The Chiefs are 4-14 ATS in their last 18 games overall, and they have failed to cover in seven of their last eight as a home favorite. The Giants are 22-7 ATS in their last 29 games as a road underdog. The bookmakers listing KC as the double digit favorite flies in the face of all the historical trends. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-01-21 | Blazers +2 v. 76ers | 103-113 | Loss | -101 | 5 h 25 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Blazers. The Blazers are an underdog on the road at Philly, and they have dominated the Sixers in recent seasons. Portland is 6-1 straight up in the last seven head to head meetings, and the one loss came in a game decided by one point. Joel Embiid will sit out this game, making it a tough ask for the Sixers to snap this trend. Philly is 1-4 ATS in their last five when coming off a win, and they have failed to cover in four of their last five home games. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-01-21 | Capitals v. Lightning -135 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 22 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on TB. The defending champs lost four of their first six games of the season, call it a Stanley Cup hangover. They have since won back to back games by a combined score of 10-2. We get a good price to back the Bolts at home versus Washington here tonight, and the Caps have yet to lose in regulation. The Lightning are 52-22 in their last 74 home games. The Capitals have lost five of their last six as an underdog. This looks like a great spot to go against the Caps. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-31-21 | Cowboys v. Vikings UNDER 55 | 20-16 | Win | 100 | 100 h 32 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The Cowboys will make a decision on Dak Prescott before kickofff, but whether or not he plays it seems clear that he's not going to be 100 percent. The game plan here should be focused on a heavy dose of Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott. Only Cleveland has averaged more rushing yards per game than the Cowboys this season. The Cowboys have lost five of their last six at Minnesota, and the Vikings are 14-4 ATS in their last 18 home games versus a team with a winning road record. At 3-3 the Vikings appear to be flying under the radar, and this looks like a good spot for the home team. The under is 4-1 in the Vikes last five home games. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-31-21 | Cowboys v. Vikings -125 | 20-16 | Loss | -125 | 75 h 35 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Minny. The Cowboys will make a decision on Dak Prescott before kickofff, but whether or not he plays it seems clear that he's not going to be 100 percent. The game plan here should be focused on a heavy dose of Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott. Only Cleveland has averaged more rushing yards per game than the Cowboys this season. The Cowboys have lost five of their last six at Minnesota, and the Vikings are 14-4 ATS in their last 18 home games versus a team with a winning road record. At 3-3 the Vikings appear to be flying under the radar, and this looks like a good spot for the home team. The under is 4-1 in the Vikes last five home games. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-31-21 | Astros v. Braves +1.5 | 9-5 | Loss | -164 | 19 h 5 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Atlanta. The Braves are one win away from a Wolrd Series, and they look good as the underdog in Game 5. Framber Valdez will toe the slab for Houston, and he was rocked in a loss in Game 1. He allowed five runs on eight hits in just two innings. The Braves will once again turn the game over to their bullpen, a strategy that has served them well so far. The Astros are 3-7 in their last 10 road games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-31-21 | Jazz v. Bucks UNDER 224.5 | 107-95 | Win | 100 | 18 h 1 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. I had the under in last night's game when the Jazz lost to Chicago. Here is what I said prior to the game: "The one take away from the early games is that scoring in general is down as the officials have been calling a lot fewer fouls, giving defenders a significant advantage in comparison to the way the game has been called in recent seasons. Both the Utah Jazz and the Chicago Bulls rank near the top of the NBA in points allowed so far. History suggests that these teams trend toward low scoring games, and the under is 20-7-1 in the last 28 meetings. The under is 8-1 in the last nine meetings in Chicago." With another big total in tonight's game in Milwaukee, I'll take the under. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-31-21 | Titans v. Colts -145 | 34-31 | Loss | -145 | 12 h 46 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Colts. The Titans were my pick to win the AFC South, but they are on the road in Indy this week coming off consecutive impressive wins over KC and Buffalo. This could be a let down spot against a Colts team that has been getting better every week. Indy has won three of their last four overall, allowing an average of 17 points per game during that span. The Titans are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 meetings in Indianapolis, and the Colts have covered in 14 of the last 20 head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-31-21 | Eagles v. Lions +3.5 | 44-6 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 31 m | Show | |
This is a free play on DET. The Lions are 0-7, and this week's home game is as good a chance as they willl probably have to win a game this season. Only two teams in history have gone 0-16 in a season, and one of those teams was the 2008 Lions. Detroit hasn't played that bad at home this season, losing close games to San Francisco, Baltimore and Cincinnati. They have covered in five of their last six versus the Eagles, and the Eagles are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games. The Eagles are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games following a straight up loss. This Philly team has no business being a favorite on the road, not even against the Lions. GL, Jesse Schue |

10-30-21 | Astros v. Braves UNDER 8.5 | 2-3 | Win | 104 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Astros failed to score in a 2-0 loss in Game 3 in Atlanta, but the highest scoring team in MLB should get back on track here in Game 4. Houston ranks #1 in the majors in runs scored, team batting average and on base percentage. The over is 5-1 in the Astros last six playoff road games. Both these teams are digging deep into the rotation here, and Atlanta hasn't even named a starter. Zack Greinke will go for the Astros and he's 0-1 with an 11.12 ERA in his last three appearances. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-30-21 | Manchester United v. Tottenham Hotspur OVER 2.5 | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 1 h 7 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on over. I bet against Manchester United last weekend, and here is what I said before the game: "Manchester United is coming off a 3-2 win over Atalanta in the Champions League, just a few days after they lost 4-2 to Leicester in the Premier League. Their defense will need to be a lot better if they hope to come away with any points in this weekend's fixture versus Liverpool. Mo Salah leads the Premier League in scoring with seven goals in eight starts, and Liverpool is tied for 2nd with a +16 goal differential. Manchester United is 0-2-1 in their last three Premier League games versus Liverpool." I am expecting another high score here in their match versus Tottenham. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-30-21 | Iowa +3.5 v. Wisconsin | Top | 7-27 | Loss | -110 | 38 h 20 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Iowa. Just two weeks ago Iowa was #2 in the polls, and looking like the favorite to win the BIG10. After losing 24-7 at home to Purdue, they are an underdog on the road at Wisconsin two weeks later. Keep in mind that their loss to Purdue was partially explained by turnovers (4). Normally the Hawkeyes win the turnover battle, and perhaps coming off a bye week will give them a better chance to do that here in Wisconsin. The Badgers are coming off a blowout win over Purdue, again explained by turnovers (5). There is no doubt that the results of each of these team's last game is having an impact on this line, which appears to a be a classic case of recency bias. This game should probably be closer to a pickem. I'll take the points with the Hawkeyes. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-29-21 | Hamilton -5.5 v. Edmonton Elks | 39-23 | Win | 100 | 9 h 33 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Tiger Cats. Hamilton comes into Edmonton as a road favorite, and these two teams are trending in opposite directions. The Tigercats are eyeing the CFL Playoffs, while Edmonton is looking to start over with a new QB. The Elks traded former Redblacks QB Trevor Harris back to Ottawa, and picked up former Calgary Stampeder Nick Arbuckle from the Argos. This move might pay dividends in the long term, but it's not likely to help much against one of the best defenses in the CFL here in the short term. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-29-21 | Astros v. Braves UNDER 8.5 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 55 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The World Series is tied 1-1 with the series shifting to Atlanta, and we might see a pitcher's duel here in Game 3. Ian Anderson will toe the slab for Atlanta, and he's been solid at home. He's allowed three runs on six hits over seven innings in his last two starts, both home wins over the Dodgers. Luis Garcia was the here in Game 6 versus Boston, striking out seven while allowing one hit in 5 2/3 scoreless innings. The under is 9-4-1 in the Braves last 14 home games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-29-21 | Hornets v. Heat UNDER 222.5 | 99-114 | Win | 100 | 6 h 29 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Under. The Heat are off to a great start, winning three of their first four games. They host Charlotte tonight, and the Hornets are also playing well. Miami is getting it done on defense, ranking 1st in the NBA in opponent's scoring allowing just 95 points per game. Charlotte is on the opposite end ranking 1st in the NBA in scoring. Scoring in general is down as the officials have been calling a lot fewer fouls, giving defenders a significant advantage in comparison to the way the game has been called in recent seasons. The under is 10-3 in the Hornets last 13 games as a road underdog. The total in the last seven head to head meetings has never been higher than 216.5. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-28-21 | Grizzlies v. Warriors -5 | 104-101 | Loss | -110 | 30 h 8 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on GSW. The Warriors are off to a helluva start to the season, undefeated with a 4-0 record (9-0 if you include the pre-season). They host the Grizzlies who are coming off a 20 point loss at Portland last night. The Grizz are in a tough spot with another road game in the second game of a back to back. The Grizzlies are 1-5 ATS in their last six games following an ATS loss, and they have failed to cover in four straight versus a team with a winning record. They are 3-8 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Golden State. The Warriors are 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games, and they have covered in eight of their last 10 overall. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-28-21 | Packers +6.5 v. Cardinals | 24-21 | Win | 100 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on GB. It's a shame that Devonte Adams will miss this game due to Covid19 protocols, but Aaron Rogers still has plenty of weapons. In fact with the way that the Cardinals offense has been playing, getting Aaron Jones and the running game going, controlling the clock might not be a bad idea. Adams isn't the only star player who won't play tonight, as the news is out that J.J. Watt might be done for the season with a shoulder injury. Even more reason why the Packers should look to run on this Cardinals defense. The closest the Cardinals came to losing so far was a 34-33 home game against the Vikings, and Dalvin Cook ran for 131 yards on 22 carries in that game. The Packers are 6-1 ATS in their last seven versus a team with a winning record, and the under is 5-1 in their last six versus Arizona. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-28-21 | Bruins v. Hurricanes -125 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 19 h 9 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Carolina. The undefeated Carolina Hurricanes will host the Boston Bruins tonight, and this is a tough spot for Boston on the road in the second game of a back to back. Linus Ullmark allowed four goals on 26 shots while suffering his first loss of the season at Florida last night. He could get a break here tonight, allowing Jeremy Swayman to make his third start of the season. He was lit up in a loss to Philly in his last start, allowing five goals on 24 shots. The Bruins are 1-5 in their last six games as an underdog, and the Hurricanes are 11-4 in their last 15 home games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-27-21 | Braves v. Astros OVER 8.5 | 2-7 | Win | 100 | 7 h 60 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Braves pitching staff did a great job in Game 1, but I don't like their chances of holding the Astros to just two runs in Game 2 tonight. Max Fried will toe the slab for the Braves, but he was lit up in a loss to the Dodgers his last time out. He allowed five runs on eight hits in 4 2/3 innings in an 11-2 loss. The Astros hand the ball to Jose Urquidy, and he failed to get out of the second inning in his last start. He allowed six runs in just 1 2/3 innings in a 12-3 loss. The over is 8-2 in the Astros last 10 overall, and they have gone over in four straight when coming off a loss. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-26-21 | Braves v. Astros -125 | Top | 6-2 | Loss | -125 | 52 h 21 m | Show |
This is an 8* play on Houston. The Braves take on the Astros in Game 1 of the World Series, and the series opener could be a pitcher's duel. Framber Valez will toe the slab for Houston, and he was lights out in his last start. He allowed one run on three hits while striking out five in eight innings in Game 5 versus Boston. The Braves hand the ball to Charlie Morton, who has not been perfect but he's given Atlanta a chance to win in each of his starts this post-season. He's allowed two runs in each of his three starts. The Braves are 3-11 in their last 14 interleague games versus a left-handed starter, and the under is 7-3 in the last 10 head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-26-21 | 76ers v. Knicks UNDER 217 | 99-112 | Win | 100 | 9 h 45 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The New York Knicks finished #1 overall in scoring defense last season, and Philly wasn't far behind. Both these teams appear to have picked up right where they left off, and if history is any indication then we could be in for another low scoring game. Three of four meetings last season went under the total, and the total for tonight's game is higher than it was in three of the four meetings last season. The under is 17-8 in the 76ers last 25 road games, and the under is 7-3 in the Knicks last 10 games as a home favorite. The Knicks have failed to reach the total in four straight home games versus Philly. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-25-21 | Saints -197 v. Seahawks | 13-10 | Win | 100 | 24 h 21 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on New Orleans. The Seahawks trailed 14-0 at the half in Pittsburgh last week, and their second half rally was mostly a product of their running game. The Saints defense isn't an ideal opponent here, as only the Tampa Bay Bucs have allowed fewer rush yards per game than New Orleans. Leading rusher Chris Carson is out, Geno Smith is at QB, and New Orleans is coming off a bye week. This could spell disaster for a Seattle team that has too many issues to list them all. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-25-21 | Magic v. Heat -13 | 90-107 | Win | 100 | 5 h 18 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Miami. The Orlando Magic are not going to win many games this year, and it's not a surprise to see them as a double digit underdog in Miami tonight. Both of their losses so far have come by 20+ points. The Heat are coming off a loss at Indiana, but they beat defending champions Milwaukee by 40+ in their home opener. The Magic are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games following a win, and the Heat are 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine games as a favorite. The Heat will win this game by as many points as they "feel like". GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-25-21 | Maple Leafs v. Hurricanes OVER 6 | 1-4 | Loss | -114 | 5 h 46 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. The Leafs are coming off a 7-1 loss to Pittsburgh, and we expect to see plenty of scoring here in Carolina Monday night. The Canes are averaging 4.5 goals per game so far, and their power play is clicking at 37.5% which is the 3rd best in the NHL. History shows us that these teams have a history of playing high scoring games, with the total going over in six of the last eight head to head meetings. Both these teams averaged well over three goals per game last year, and Carolina had the second best power play unit in the league. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-24-21 | Colts v. 49ers -191 | 30-18 | Loss | -191 | 23 h 25 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on SF. The Colts are coming off a blowout win over Houston, and Carson Wentz is really starting to settle in as QB. He's facing a tougher test this week, and I expect him to regress here against a stingy San Francisco defense coming off a bye. The 49ers pushed the undefeated Arizona Cardinals to the brink in their last game, losing by a TD after Trey Lance was stopped a half an inch short of the goal line on fourth down. If we see a similar effort from the Niners defense, it's going to be tough sledding for Carson Wentz. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-24-21 | Predators v. Wild -155 | 5-2 | Loss | -155 | 21 h 14 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Minnesota. Both these teams are playing their second game of a back to back, but Minnesota is coming off a home win over Anaheim, while Nashville played north of the border in Winnipeg. The international travel would put the Predators at a significant disadvantage here in an already tough road game. The Predators are 1-6 in their last seven overall, and they are 0-6 in their last six games as a road underdog. The Wild are 22-6 in their last 28 home games, and they have won four of their last five coming off a win. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-24-21 | Bears v. Bucs -12 | 3-38 | Win | 100 | 64 h 1 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on TB. Justin Fields threw for 174 yards with a TD and an INT in last week's loss to Green Bay. He was sacked four times, bringing his total to 16 sacks in four starts. He's thrown more picks than TDs, and his completion percentage is barely over 50 percent. Any success the Bears have had this season has come with their running game, and that's a tough ask here matched up against a Bucs defense that is only allowing 55 rushing yards per game. Even with the injuries to Gronk and AB, the Bucs receiving corps is still pretty impressive with Mike Evans, Scotty Miller and Chris Godwin. This looks like a potential blowout. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-24-21 | Eagles v. Raiders -147 | 22-33 | Win | 100 | 64 h 38 m | Show | |
This is a 7* play on LV. The Raiders appear to have put the John Gruden scandal behind them, or at least it looked like it last week in Denver. Derek Carr had a big game, throwing for 341 yards and a pair of TDs. The Eagles on the other hand got a back door cover in a home loss to Tampa, but Jalen Hurts threw for 115 yards with TD and an INT on 12-of-26 passing. The Eagles are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up loss. They have lost four of their last five against the Raiders, and this looks like another tough spot for a below average team with a below average QB. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-24-21 | Chiefs v. Titans OVER 55.5 | 3-27 | Loss | -105 | 134 h 50 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Titans win over the Bills on Monday Night Football was quite impressive, but their defense was shredded by Josh Allen. It won't get any easier this week against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. The last two meetings between these teams have gone over the total, even a high number such as 58 (the current number at some books). Kansas City ranks 29th in the NFL in scoring defense, and second in the NFL passing yards. This game has "shootout" written all over it. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-24-21 | Liverpool v. Manchester United | 5-0 | Win | 100 | 7 h 19 m | Show | |
This is a 10* play on Liverpool. Manchester United is coming off a 3-2 win over Atalanta in the Champions League, just a few days after they lost 4-2 to Leicester in the Premier League. Their defense will need to be a lot better if they hope to come away with any points in this weekend's fixture versus Liverpool. Mo Salah leads the Premier League in scoring with seven goals in eight starts, and Liverpool is tied for 2nd with a +16 goal differential. Manchester United is 0-2-1 in their last three Premier League games versus Liverpool. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-24-21 | New Mexico State v. Hawaii OVER 62 | 34-48 | Win | 100 | 12 h 47 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. Hawaii defeated New Mexico State 41-21 earlier this season, but we expect an even higher score this time around. Why? Well since that loss the Aggies haven't improved defensively, allowing a combined 92 points in losses to San Jose State and Nevada. On a positive note, the passing game has been improving. Jonah Johnson has thrown for 725 yards, six TDs and one INT in his last two starts. The over is 36-16-1 in the Aggies last 53 road games, and the over is 5-2 in the Rainbow Warriors last seven games as a home favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-23-21 | Saskatchewan v. Calgary OVER 44 | Top | 20-17 | Loss | -110 | 48 h 44 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Over. My top play last week was on the over in Calgary's win at B.C., and here is what I said about that game: "It's no secret that scoring is down in the CFL this season, and perhaps that can be explained by almost a two year layoff. The bookmakers have been offering lower numbers every week, and I think this presents an opportunity to capitalize on an over-correction. Here in this game both QBs are former league MVPs (MOP). Both teams come in averaging over 23 points per game, even though both these star QBs missed time early in the season. This is by far the lowest total in the previous 10 head to head meetings between these teams, and the average total was over 50." I expect a similar result here this week with Calgary hosting Saskatchewan. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-23-21 | Dodgers v. Braves +1.5 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 21 h 14 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Atlanta +1.5. The Braves are back home still ahead in this series with a 3-2 lead. The Dodgers starting rotation is being held together with duct tape and paper mache. Max Scherzer was the scheduled starter, but he's been scratched in favor of Walker Buehler. It will be just three days after Buehler was torched for four runs on six hits in a no decision in Game 3. The Dodgers rallied to win that game 6-5. The Braves hand the ball to Ian Anderson who allowed a pair of runs on three hits in three innings in a win in Game 2 in Atlanta. The Dodgers appear to be overvalued as the favorite here in Atlanta. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-23-21 | Heat -165 v. Pacers | 91-102 | Loss | -165 | 21 h 3 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Miami. The Heat crushed Milwaukee in their season opener, and they catch the Indiana Pacers on the back end of a back to back tonight. The Pacers lost in overtime in the nation's capital last night. The Heat are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings in Indiana, and they are 7-0-1 ATS in their last eight games as a favorite. The Heat are 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games, and they are 5-1 ATS in their last six games following a straight up win. This is a tough spot for the Pacers. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-23-21 | Panthers v. Flyers +1.5 | 4-2 | Loss | -195 | 21 h 30 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Philly. The Flyers are off to a 2-1 start, with their one loss coming in a game decided by one goal. They will be a home dog tonight against Florida, and the history between these teams suggests Philly could easily win this game outright. The Panthers are 1-6 in the last seven meetings in Philadelphia, and their one win came by one goal. The home team is 16-5 in the last 21 meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-23-21 | Predators v. Jets -125 | 4-6 | Win | 100 | 20 h 30 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Jets. After losing three straight to start the season, the Jets won big at home versus the Anaheim Ducks by a score of 5-1 in their last game. I expect the positive momentum to carry over here as they host Nashville. The Predators also come in with a record of 1-3, but they are coming off a home loss to the New York Rangers. The Predators are 0-5 in their last five games as a road underdog, and the Jets are 5-1 in their last six games following a win. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-23-21 | Hurricanes v. Blue Jackets +1.5 | 5-1 | Loss | -180 | 20 h 27 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on CBJ. The Blue Jackets are 3-1 to start the season, and they will be an underdog at home to Carolina tonight. The history between these teams tell us that we can expect a close game, and the Blue Jackets could easily win outright. Four of the last five meetings between these teams have required overtime to decide a winner. This could be a let down spot for the Panthers who are 4-0 on the season with wins over Tampa (defending champs) and Colorado (current Stanley Cup favorites). GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-23-21 | BYU -175 v. Washington State | 21-19 | Win | 100 | 39 h 18 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on BYU. Washington State comes in riding a three game winning streak, but after coming from behind in the final minute to beat Stanford last week, head coach Nick Rolovich as well as a handful of his assistants were fired over vaccine mandates. “This is a tough day for Washington State football,” WSU AD Pat Chun said at a news conference. “Nobody wants to be here.” The Cougars are 2-6 ATS in their last eight home games, and they have failed to cover in four of their last five versus teams with a winning record. The Cougars are 0-5 ATS in their last five non-conference games. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is a 6* play on Pitt. To put this game in perspective, we will refer to home team versus away team. That will remove any preconceived bias that Clemson is an elite team. The home team is 5-1, ranked #23 in the polls, and ranked in the Top 10 nationally in points per game. The away team is 4-2 overall, unranked, and comes in averaging 20 points per game (220th nationally). The away team have failed to cover in seven straight games overall. The home team is 6-1 ATS in their last seven overall. Based on the numbers, you would think the home team would be a more significant favorite here. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-23-21 | Oklahoma State +7 v. Iowa State | 21-24 | Win | 100 | 72 h 6 m | Show | |
This is a 7* play on OKST. The Cowboys are 6-0, and Mike Gundy has recently been given a lifetime contract as head coach. Their offense hasn't been as prolific this year as it normally is, but their defense has been carrying them. That bodes well as the underdog here at Iowa State. The Cyclones are 4-2, and QB Brock Purdy threw for 1 TD and four INTs in those losses. The underdog is 5-1 ATS in their last six head to head meetings, and the Cowboys are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games as a road underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-22-21 | Oilers v. Golden Knights -130 | 5-3 | Loss | -130 | 24 h 54 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on VGK. The Oilers are off to a perfect 4-0 start, but they are due for a let down here on the road in the second game of a back to back. They face a hungry Vegas team that is coming off back to back losses. The Golden Knights are 43-17 in their last 60 home games, and they are 4-1 in their last five home games against the Oilers. Edmonton's starting netminder Mike Smith is on the IR, and that puts pressure on Mikko Koskinen who will likely get the call for the second night in a row. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-22-21 | Red Sox v. Astros OVER 8.5 | 0-5 | Loss | -115 | 20 h 52 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. Game 6 will feature two starting pitcher's that each got hammered their last time out. Nathan Eovaldi didn't even get out of an inning after allowing four runs on two hits and two walks in a relief appearance in Game 4. Luis Garcia pitched one inning, allowing five runs on two hits and three walks in Game 2. The over is 19-6-2 in Red Sox last 27 playoff home games. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-22-21 | Toronto -105 v. Montreal | 16-37 | Loss | -105 | 21 h 28 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Toronto. The Argos are one of the hottest teams in the CFL, winning three straight and taking over first place in the Eastern Conference. They are in Montreal, and the Als are coming off back to back wins over Ottawa. The Redblacks rank dead last in the league in total defense, and they have the league's worst record. Their starting QB is out with an injury, and his replacement Matthew Shiltz played well in his first start. He won't have the luxury of facing the league's worst defense this week. The Alouettes are 0-6 ATS in their last six home games. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-21-21 | Clippers v. Warriors -155 | 113-115 | Win | 100 | 22 h 44 m | Show | |
This is a 7* play on GSW. The Warriors are coming off an undefeated pre-season, and they beat the Lakers in LA in their season opener. They host the LA Clippers in their home opener, and I see no reason why we shouldn't continue to ride the hot hand. The Warriors are 6-0 ATS in their last six games following an ATS win, and they are 6-0 ATS in their last six home games. Steph Curry had a triple-double in the win over the Lakers, and he scored a total of 71 points in his final two games of the pre-season. It's fair to say that he's already in mid-season form.

10-21-21 | Broncos v. Browns -119 | 14-17 | Win | 100 | 17 h 11 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Browns. Cleveland is coming off an ugly home loss to Arizona, and the injuries are piling up. Bettors are lining up to fade the banged up Browns, moving the line from -6 to close to a pickem. The line dropped a few points on the news that Baker Mayfield was out, but I think Case Keenum is probably better than Baker (if Baker isn't healthy). Let's not forget that back in 2017 he won 13 games with the Vikings, throwing for over 3,500 yards with 22 TDs and 7 INTs. He's only 33 years old, and he should still be capable of stepping right in and playing above average (as far as a backup QB goes). It's also important to remember that the Broncos are 3-3, coming off three straight losses, and their three wins came against teams with a combined record of 3-14. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-21-21 | Braves +1.5 v. Dodgers | 2-11 | Loss | -155 | 18 h 6 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Atlanta. The Braves were an underdog in Game 1 at home versus LA, and I said the following in my analysis for that game: Max Fried will toe the slab for Atlanta, and he's been as hot as any pitcher in baseball the last few months. He's 3-0 with a 1.29 ERA in his last five starts. The Dodgers have yet to list a starter, and their rotation is being held together by chewing gum and duct tape at this point. The Braves are 11-5 in their last 16 playoff games, and they are 7-2 in their last nine playoff home games. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-21-21 | Ducks v. Jets -175 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Jets. The Ducks have started the season hot, while the Jets have been ice cold. This is exactly the opposite of what was projected for these two teams. The Ducks finished dead last in the West Division last year, and they didn't really make any significant roster moves. This looks like a tough spot for an overachieving Anaheim squad. The Ducks are 15-36 in their last 51 games as an underdog, and they are 0-5 in their last five games in Winnipeg. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-20-21 | Wizards v. Raptors -137 | 98-83 | Loss | -137 | 16 h 19 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Toronto. The Wizards open the season north of the border in Toronto, and this looks like a tough matchup for the visitors. The Raptors are a much younger team, with veterans Kyle Lowry, Serge Ibaka, Marc Gasol, and Norm Powell all moved on. Fred Van Fleet, Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby sre still in the starting lineup, along with veteran Goran Drajic who came over from Miami. The Wizards were winless in the pre-season, including a loss to Toronto. The interesting thing about the Raptors win over Washington was that the Raptors starters did not play against Bradley Beal, KCP, Kyle Kuzma and Spencer Dinwiddie. Toronto is 9-1 straight up in their last 10 versus the Wizards, and this is a big game in a home opener after they played last season's home games in Tampa. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-20-21 | Astros v. Red Sox OVER 9.5 | 9-1 | Win | 100 | 14 h 48 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. Game 5 will feature the same pitching matchup as Game 1, and here is what I said prior to that game: "Chris Sale will toe the slab for Boston, and he hasn't been himself since his return from injury. He was lit up for five runs in just one inning in his only appearance in the ALDS versus Tampa Bay. The Astros hand the ball to Framber Valdez, who was 2-0 with a 1.26 ERA in two starts versus Boston this season." The over is 18-6-2 in Red Sox last 26 playoff home games. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-20-21 | Atalanta v. Manchester United -125 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 50 h 22 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on MUTD. Manchester United lost 4-2 at Leicester in their first Premier League game coming out of the international break, but they look good in a home game in the Champions League versus Atalanta. The Italian side has scored 11 goals while conceding seven in their last five matches in all competitions, and they have scored three goals in two Champions League matches. Manchester United hasn't posted a clean sheet in any of their last eight matches, but they do have the all time leading scorer in Champions League history. I like the Red Devils to win a high scoring contest. GL, Jesse Schule |
