10-23-21 | Pelicans v. Wolves -6 | 89-96 | Win | 100 | 19 h 43 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Sat Power Pack winner is on the T-Wolves The Wolves may have turned the corner and are one of the best kept secrets in the West. Karl-Anthony is surrounded by some guys who can play and a lot of teams will be ambushed and find that out. The Pelicans are a jig saw puzzle with a Zion and other pieces missing. NOLA probably wishes the season would have started two weeks later as they don't want to get buried early. Not an easy spot on the road. T-Wolves by 15. |

10-23-21 | Heat -3.5 v. Pacers | 91-102 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 40 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Sat Power Pack winner is on the Miami Heat The Heat had a couple of days off after waxing the Bucks in their home opener. The Pacers lost a tough up and down OT game at the Wiz last night, flew home, and face a fresh as a daisy Miami team here. The Heat have a lot to make right after last year's collapse and winning games like these are part of the process. |

10-23-21 | Red Wings +142 v. Canadiens | 1-6 | Loss | -100 | 18 h 11 m | Show | |
DMack NHL Power Pack winner in the Detroit Red Wings The Canadiens are on a horrific start at 0-5 with a 4/19 goal differential. It doesn't matter who you play when you average less than a goal a game and the one thing this young Wings team does is score. Other than a 7-6 shootout with Tampa Bay, Detroit has done some good things on defense and the young goaltending has held up. Can't see Montreal a favorite vs. ANYONE in their current form and the Wings are not just a doormat at this point. |
|||||||
10-23-21 | Avalanche v. Lightning -104 | 4-3 | Loss | -104 | 18 h 9 m | Show | |
DMack NHL Power Pack winner in the Tampa Bay Lightning Colorado is off to a 1-3 start and the Avs just might be feeling the sting of not having an elite class goaltender with the departure of Philip Grubauer. The Lightning are 2-2 losing both home games to killers in not the best of spots so fully expect the Bolts to respond here.against a team that has lost three straight and allowing better than four goals a game. |

10-23-21 | Temple +2.5 v. South Florida | 14-34 | Loss | -105 | 82 h 49 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NCAAF LATE SHOW BAILOUT winner is on the Temple Owls South Florida doesn't have a FBS win in nearly two years and blew it last week with a 31-20 lead over Tulsa only to allow a 99-yard drive and then the winner in the final minute. Temple is off a bye after getting smoked by Cincinnati where their only points came on a 55-yard FG. The Owls are a pretty good team and have the perfect opponent to get on track against and ultimately get bowl eligible. Temple wins this easy by two touchdowns. |

10-23-21 | Hawks v. Cavs | 95-101 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 44 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Sat Power Pack winner is on the Atlanta Hawks The Hawks clubbed Dallas in their opener and get a sort touch in their first road game in the Cavs who are in second of back-to-back. The Hawks are supposed to take the next step this year and if they're going to do it, they have to win road games like this. |

DMack's UFC Fight Night 196 Power Pack wiiner is on Jessica Rose Clark Jessica Rose Clark has been fighting the best at flyweight and bantamweight since 2015 and at 10-6 .... with some success. Tonight she takes on the "Pantera" who is 1-1 in the UFC after going 9-2 on the regional scene. Clark is off an impressive KO win over a tough Sarah Alapar and matched in a very winnable fight here to see if she's ready for more. She'' get her shot with a late finish here. |

10-23-21 | Alex Caceres +245 v. Seungwoo Choi | 1-0 | Win | 245 | 44 h 52 m | Show | |
DMack's UFC Fight Night 196 Power Pack winner is on Alex Carceres This is a crossroads fight for both fighters. Caceres is a ten-year veteran with one of the best nicknames in the sport "Bruce Leroy". He's crafty and talented in all aspects of martial arts and has gone from a journeyman to a slick vet on a four-fight win streak including top prospect Chase Hooper. Choi is a power striker that's been a prospect for a while. He hasn't broken through with a signature win and this is a chance to move him up the ladder. Carceres gets this to the mat where he is relentless and grinds out a decision. |
|||||||
10-23-21 | Gregory Rodrigues v. Jun Yong Park +106 | 1-0 | Loss | -100 | 43 h 40 m | Show | |
DMack's UFC Fight Night 196 Power Pack winner is on Jun Yong Park Park is the better fighter by far but he is stylistically at a disadvantage stylistically fighting a fighter 5 inches taller and with significant reach. Rodriguez has cut his bones in LFA and won his UFC in June by decision. This is Park's fifth UFC fight and he's fought much much better than what he see's tonight. Once Park finds a way inside, this fight could be over. |

10-23-21 | Clemson v. Pittsburgh -3 | 17-27 | Win | 100 | 100 h 45 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NCAAF WEEK VIII POWER PACK winner is on Pittsburgh This has been a strange year for Clemson. The defense is world class but the offense couldn't score with a fistful oh hundreds at Cheetahs. Pitt si good, very good, and if not for a burp at Western Michigan would be a Top 10 in the country. Proof, it that this is the first time that Clemson is an ACC dog since 2010 and it's to these Panthers. Forget history here, two very different teams on the chart. Looking for a double-digit win here for Pitt. Clemson couldn't get it right last week off their bye vs. Syracuse. They won't get it down here. |
|||||||
10-23-21 | Rice v. UAB -23 | 30-24 | Loss | -109 | 100 h 47 m | Show | |
DMACK'S CUSA Game of the Year is on the UAB Blazers Rice is 2-4 with their wins vs. an FCS school and a 5-point win over a sad Southern Miss crew. The Owls weren't competitive in their money games vs. Texas, Arkansas, and Houston which was to be expected but they were also mauled 45-0 by surprising USTA last week. UAB is rolling and just two weeks ago beat that same Southern Miss team 34-0, calling off the dogs early in the second half. The Blazers have won the last four in the series, covering three, and the won the last three matchup by 15+ points. UAB has a habbit of taking care of business and is 16-6-1 L23 as a home favorite and won't miss a chance of extending late here with the meat of the schedule coming up. UAB 45-10. |

10-23-21 | Western Michigan -2.5 v. Toledo | 15-34 | Loss | -109 | 100 h 38 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NCAAF WEEK VIII POWER PACK winner is on the Western Michigan Broncos After getting hammered by the Michigan Wolverines in their fits game, Western Mich has been near perfect other than a blip vs. Ball State where they killed by turnovers and big plays as most teams are. Their five wins have been dominating and they include a win over Top 25 Pitt. Toledo is arguably the biggest disappointment in college football this year. The Rockets are yet to pass a test despite 20 returning starters including 6 that were first team All-MAC last year. Western is bog and physical on both sides of the line and that the difference here. Western Michigan 38-27. |
|||||||
10-23-21 | Jai Herbert -175 v. Khama Worthy | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 41 h 5 m | Show | |
DMack's UFC Fight Night 196 Power Pack winner is on Jai Herbert Both fighters are looking for a win in the worst way, possibly fighting for their UFC lives. Both fighters are strikers with power but Herbert is far more versatile and brings much more to the table. In short, if either fighter hits the other on the chin it would likely be lights out. It's far more likely that Herbert figures Worthy out first and works out a second or third round knockout. |
|||||||
10-23-21 | Daniel Lacerda +150 v. John Molina | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 41 h 42 m | Show | |
DMack's UFC Fight Night 196 Power Pack winner is on Daniel Lacerda Two powerful strikers that are for the most part mirror images of the other with the slight difference being that Molina sometimes has lapses in defense that hurt him. Both fighters have pop in both hands and there should be fireworks here start to finish. Lacerda is a value dog here at 11-1 and his only lose cam on a doctor imposed injury stoppage. Lacerda is destined for better things as is our betting accounts with this extra 50 cents. Lacerda. |

10-23-21 | Texas State v. Georgia State -10.5 | 16-28 | Win | 100 | 11 h 29 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NCAAF WEEK VIII POWER PACK winner is on Georgia State Panthers Georgia State had pretty good reviews coming into the season but the Panthers couldn't get anything going early in their money games with North Carolina and Auburn and then getting spanked by Army and App State early. The Panthers do have decent wins vs Charlotte and a 30-point win over Monroe which just upset Liberty as a 30-point dog. Hard to figure Texas State as half the team was ravaged by Covid but have battled through with OK results. The Bobcats are just up against it here and are playing in a tough venue where the hosts are 5-1 ATS in L6. Georgia State 37-19. |
|||||||
10-22-21 | Oilers +125 v. Golden Knights | Top | 5-3 | Win | 125 | 20 h 55 m | Show |
DMACK'S NHL PLAY OF THE DAY (6-1, 29-12 Runs) Two Pacific Division team headed in very different directions. VGK has so many injuries, you'l basically be seeing the Henderson Silver Knights plus a couple of the original Golden Misfits. Edmonton is a destroyer! 4-0 with a 19-10 goal differential. McDavid, Draisaitl, and Nugent-Hopkins are all looking at multi-point games and there is little Vegas can do about it. Absolutely floored when I saw this opening line. Wouldn't be shocked to see the Oilers favored at game time. Why wouldn't they be. |
|||||||
10-22-21 | Colorado State -3 v. Utah State | 24-26 | Loss | -110 | 33 h 32 m | Show | |
DMACK'S FRI MOUNTAIN WEST BANKROLL BUILDER winner is on the Colorado State Rams Colorado State has seemingly found its way after an inexplicable slow start. The Rams returned 19 starters that include 91 starts by offensive linemen. That said, the Rams have won their last two games scoring 32 and 36 points, against their own kind, and have held their last four opponents to less than 300 yards of total offense. The Rams have been outgained by an opponent just once that was Iowa so this team is definitely a work in progress. In this matchup we find a CSU team that is 11-6 L17 as a road favorite against a Utah State team that is just 2-10 L12 as a home dog and the Aggie three wins against Div-I competition has been by just 11 combined points. CSU gets the job done. |
|||||||
10-22-21 | Raptors v. Celtics -6.5 | 115-83 | Loss | -107 | 17 h 46 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NBA PLAY OF THE DAY is on the Boston Celtics The Toronto Raptors are going to be in a world of hurt this year. The play good defense but have absolutely NOBODY to get them any substantial points. That was more than evident in their 98-83 loss the the Wizards in their opener. Boston lost a 138-134 2X OT thriller to the Knicks but the Celtics are a work in progress and just starting to get healthy and playing together. Boston should have no trouble scoring on the Barneys. Lay the points. |
|||||||
10-21-21 | San Jose State -5 v. UNLV | 27-20 | Win | 100 | 37 h 7 m | Show | |
DMACK'S MOUNTAIN WEST THURSDAY NIGHT THUNDER winner is on San Jose State I've lived here since 1991 and have experienced the nightmare that is UNLV football. It's sad because the kids try hard, the facilities have been upgraded, but the mantra seems to be an endless "Close but no cigar". For some reason, oddsmakers seem to think that the Rebels are playing the the 2015 San Jose State rather than the excellent program they'll see tonight in the Spartans who have been competitive with all comers the last three years. UNLV has not won a game (0-12) under it's present coach. They have a pretty good running back in Charles Williams but he's a fifth year kid brought in by Tony Sanchez years ago. San Jose State gets a rare TV plug here and makes the most of it. Call this one 27-13. |
|||||||
10-21-21 | Braves +132 v. Dodgers | 2-11 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 31 m | Show | |
MACK ATTACK NLCS GAME OF THE YEAR winner is one the Atlanta Braves The Braves have put themselves in a great spot with a chance to clinch with their best starter vs. a Dodgers team that is forced into another bull pen games with a lineups that has hit in one game of the four in the series. Atlanta is 12-1 in Max Fried's L13 start. Atlanta is 8-2 L10 overall and 5-2 L7 on the road ..... and HITTING! Atlanta was in this spot last year with a 3-1 and coughed up a hair ball. Not this year! Braves in FIVE. |
|||||||
10-21-21 | Hurricanes -115 v. Canadiens | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 9 h 45 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Carolina Hurricanes Things are not good in Montreal. The Habs are missing several key pieces and the are not getting production from anyone. Four games (0-4, 3/15) in and the brass is already talking house cleaning and reportedly the locker room is no good. Carolina has only played two games (2-0, 9/5) and fresh as a daisy. The Canes have a much better roster and with multiple scoring options that will pepper the Canadiens net. Small price, nice price. |
|||||||
10-20-21 | Blues +116 v. Golden Knights | 3-1 | Win | 116 | 24 h 22 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NHL PLAY OF THE DAY winner is on the St Louis Blues Last year the Blues struggled with injuries all year and were basically toothless when they were swept in the playoffs. St Louis is healthy now and loaded for bear and ready to lay it on a team they don't particularly like. VGK has had a rash of early injuries including both their leading scorers, Mark Stone and Max Pacioretty. The Fortress will be under siege all night and the Knights don't have stonewall Marc-Andre Fleury to turn everything back. Wrong favorite here, St. Louis smokes the VGK! |
|||||||
10-20-21 | Coastal Carolina -4.5 v. Appalachian State | 27-30 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 18 m | Show | |
DMACK's SUNBELT CONFERENCE WEDNESDAY WINDFALL winner is on the Coastal Carolina Chants App State is down for the first time in many years and it showed in front of a national TV audience las week when the Mounties were crushed by Louisiana. This was confirmed when the Ragin' Cajuns rushed for 246 yards in App State's 10 returning starters. Coasta Carolina has come around after a somewhat slow start, blitzing three tomato cans by a 161-29 margin. The Chants are ranked No.14 this week and playing for a New Years Eve bowl the rest of the way. Coasta rushes for 262 per game so they were probably smiling watching last week's Mountie game film. Coastal won't take anything for granted being on the road at a VERY tough place to play. That said, if the Chants are ready and take care of their business, they should win by two touchdowns. |
|||||||
10-19-21 | Jets v. Wild -140 | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 16 h 9 m | Show | |
DMack NHL 3-Game Power Pack winner is on the Minnesota Wild The Wild are 2-0 and playing like they are on a mission. They're getting just enough offense to take advantage of a stifling defense. The Jets started the season short-handed and get some people back here including Mark Scheifele who returns from his playoff roughing suspension. This has been one of the toughest venues to win at for years (ask VGK) and this year will no different. Minnesota 4-1. |
|||||||
10-19-21 | Blue Jackets +102 v. Red Wings | 1-4 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 40 m | Show | |
DMack NHL 3-Game Power Pack winner is on the Columbus Blue Jackets The Jackets must have done quite well for themselves after going all in 2019 and then selling off the team in 2020. Young hungry people with talent top to bottom and the goaltending has held up well in two games (10-3 Jackets agg). The first two Red Wing games produced 17 goals but while they'll give up there usual share here, they'll face more resistance on the offensive end. Columbus 5-3. |
|||||||
10-19-21 | Nets +1.5 v. Bucks | 104-127 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 27 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NBA FIRST BLOOD WINNER is on the Brooklyn Nets Love the Nets here. Sure Kyrie the problem child is out here if it wasn't going to be a vax problem it would have been a groin, hammy, or mental health issue. Gimme a 100% Kevin Durant and James Harden who will be playing together "whole" for the first time and with a stronger supporting cast then last year. The Buck will be fine but the first homie off the the championship has always been a problem for most team and a bet in the dark in most cases, Remember the Lakers getting crushed by the Clippers last year. Brooklyn by 10. |
|||||||
10-19-21 | Sharks +136 v. Canadiens | 5-0 | Win | 136 | 15 h 17 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NHL PLAY OF THE DAY is on the San Jose Sharks The new look Sharks won the only game they've played and were very impressive in the preseason where they played excellent defense and got production from their snipers ..... and they have plenty of talented offensive people. The Canadiens are 0-3 and a bad 0-3 at that with a 3/10 goal differential. The goaltending has been brutal with Cary Price out and the Habs have gotten no production from the people that they paid over the summer. San Jose is a VERY live dog here. |
|||||||
10-19-21 | Canucks v. Sabres +133 | 2-5 | Win | 133 | 15 h 4 m | Show | |
DMack NHL 3-Game Power Pack winner is on the Buffalo Sabres Nothing wrong with the 2-0 Sabres who have played very well in two wins getting scoring and excellent defense and goaltending. Buffalo has a bunch of good young kids and hungry vet looking to continue their careers. They're very reminiscent of an expansion team. The Canucks play no defense which will hurt them here and hope every time they take the ice thay can score and win 5-4, 6-5. Not here. Buffalo 5-2. |
|||||||
10-18-21 | Ducks +166 v. Flames | 3-2 | Win | 166 | 13 h 27 m | Show | |
DMACK'S 2021 NHL FIRST BLOOD winner is on the Anaheim Ducks It might be a long year for the Calgary Flames who were smoked at Edmonton in its opener. It's a question of a good coach and a not very good roster at the Saddle Dome. Anaheim just might be a surprise in the Pacific. The Ducks have upgraded their talent and had some preseason and early success playing stifling defense and getting good goaltending. First game on enemy ice against a similar type of team will give us a better picture of rolling with Anaheim in the future. |
|||||||
10-18-21 | Bills -6 v. Titans | 31-34 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 29 m | Show | |
DMACK'S BUFF/TENN MONDAY NIGHT MAYHEM winner is on the Buffalo Bills Normally, when a number is out of the barn like this one, we'd just move along and pass. Not here. The Bills defense has been money giving up just six touchdowns in its opponents L53 drives. The offense is hitting on all cylinders and has won and covered four straight while averaging better than 39 ppg. Their last three games, the Bills are +11 in turnovers. The way to beat the Titans is to take Derrick Henry out of the game. The Bills are probably one of just three teams that can do it. The Titans have just one touchdown of more than 18 yards and they're not going to be able to grind it out here. Buffalo 30-13. |
|||||||
10-18-21 | Astros +108 v. Red Sox | 3-12 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 40 m | Show | |
DMACk'S MLB PLAYOFF PLAY OF THE DAY is on the Houston Astros The Astros got ambushed in Game II when the BoSox dropped nine on them in the first two innings. Houston is still hitting and pitcher Jose Urquidy is 1-1 with a 2.81 ERA in eight playoff starts. Eduardo Rodriguez has carried Boston in the regular season but has had no success in October rocking a 7.03 playoff ERA. Add to the mix ERod's 1-3, 8.53, cdredentials in 10 LT starts vs. the Astros and that makes this an easy call. |
|||||||
10-17-21 | Dodgers v. Braves +161 | 4-5 | Win | 161 | 18 h 28 m | Show | |
DMACK'S MLB PLAYOFF PLAY OF THE DAY winner is on the Atlanta Braves Don't underestimate the Atlanta Braves who are fresh, have decent pitching, and are playing with house money since losing their best player, Ronald Alcuna to an injury July 10th. Now they're up 1-0 in the series and send the oft-forgotten Ian Anderson to the mound. All Anderson has done is go 3-0 with a 1.50 ERA in his last three starts and 3-0 with a 0.76 ERA in five playoff starts the last two years. Max Scherzer closed things out against the Giants but he's been hit hard (5.40) his last four starts and no lock to handcuff the Braves. If you can find a more "LIVE" +160 home dog in a playoff game, please show me who it is. |

10-17-21 | Cowboys -3 v. Patriots | 35-29 | Win | 100 | 56 h 8 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Week IV Power Pack winner is on the Dallas Cowboys Dak has not missed a beat since returning from that gruesome leg injury an ex-Atlanta Falcon HC Dan Quinn has straightened out the Poke defense to the point that they can at least stop a light breeze. Actually, they're pretty good and top half of the league and in a division that they are getting ready to make a shambles of. The Pats have been playing excellent defense themselves and should keep this close but not will to keep relying on Mac to keep overachieving and keeping these roadies close. Dallas 30-20. |
|||||||
10-17-21 | Cardinals v. Browns UNDER 48.5 | 37-14 | Loss | -107 | 30 h 20 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Week VI Power Pack winner is on the Cards/Browns Under This number has been dropping like a stone thanks in largest part to weather reports of excessive wind in the area at game time. We're talking 20+ MPH all afternoon. That's suits the Browns well as they just assume run the ball 50 time, keeping possession and running clock. The Browns are averaging 187 ypg. and can actually help play defense on offense by keeping Kyler Murray and Co. off the field. Arizona was held to just 17 points by the 49ers last week so it can be done. Play the UNDER. |
|||||||
10-17-21 | Chargers +3 v. Ravens | 6-34 | Loss | -115 | 84 h 55 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NFL DOG BITE winner is on the Los Angeles Chargers. The Ravens are off a short week and a life and death win over the Indianapolis Colts, a game they had no right winning. They would have lost by three touchdowns if they were to face the more complete team they face today. Herbert is going to be a star, is already a star, and could be an all-timer. He has plenty of weapons and decent and getting better offensive line. Sure the Ravens are on a current 9-2 ATS roll but the Bolts can leave it on the field here and take that momentum into a big second half. Sure the Super Chargers are just 1-6 ATS prior to their L7 byes but this is a totally different team that is mych better coached than the most recent Anthony Lynn edition. |
|||||||
10-17-21 | Vikings -2.5 v. Panthers | 34-28 | Win | 100 | 40 h 33 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Week VI Power Pack winner is on the Minnesota Vikings Two things that describe the Vies season to this point. They've lost their two road games by a combined four points and they've been outscored 45-6 in the final two minutes of each half. Other than that and the Dalvin Cook injury, the Vikes are a playoff team. Cousins is having a quietly good year and there have been a ton of distractions. Carolina has come back to the field after opening with three straight wins. Nice story with Darnold and Rivera but just not enough talent in Charlotte yet to beat good teams on a regular basis. Vikings 22-13. |
|||||||
10-16-21 | Norma Dumont +115 v. Aspen Ladd | 1-0 | Win | 115 | 20 h 11 m | Show | |
DMack UFC FN 195 Power Pack winner is on Norma Dumont Aspen has not fought in two years and missed weight for a fight at bantamweight two weeks ago causing that fight to be canceled. She moves up here as a late replacement for Holly Holm who sustained a foot injury late in training. This fight is a rare fight at featherweight and the winner just might be in line for a shot against Amanda Nunes. Dumont was prepped for five rounds and the fight of here career if she could have beaten Holm. She winds up with an easier assignment here and will have no excuses. |
|||||||
10-16-21 | Felipe Colares v. Andrei Arlovski -105 | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 20 h 44 m | Show | |
DMack UFC FN 195 Power Pack winner is on Andrei Arlovski Arlovski is a legend who at age 42, has now been reduced to a gatekeeper. Carlos Felipe is big, tough, brash, fat man that likes to lean on you and ight out of the clinch. That won't work against a combat sports veteran who is a Sambo black belts and has light out power in both hands. Arlovski can chop Felipe down with short leg kicks and take his time with the finish. Arlovski by TKO late. |
|||||||
10-16-21 | Enrique Gonzalez v. Jim Miller -240 | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 19 h 13 m | Show | |
DMack UFC FN 195 Power Pack winner is on Jim Miller Jim Miller is an original UFC OG who will step into the octagon for the 38th time. Gonzalez, 29, 9-2, makes his UFC career off a journeyman career in regional circuits like Combate. Miller's last five wins have been by first round submissions. He gets a bone from the UFC here and wins in exactly that way. |
|||||||
10-16-21 | TCU v. Oklahoma -13.5 | 31-52 | Win | 100 | 16 h 42 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAF Can of Whup Ass Play is on the Oklahoma Sooners Regardless of who is quarterbacking the Sooners, this might be the week you Oklahoma live up to all it's preseason hype. They have the perfect team to get healthy against in the TCU horned Frogs who have given up 835 rushing yards in losing two of it's last three. Oklhoma has won five games by seven or less but last week ran for 200+ yards and just might turning the corner here. Lincoln Riley would like nothing better than to put all the nonsense to bed for good and what better way than to bury somebody 55-14. You just might see that type off offensive explosion here and with defense and special teams doing its part as Oklahoma post it's best performance of the year. |

10-16-21 | Brandon Davis +135 v. Danaa Batgerel | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 10 m | Show | |
DMack UFC FN 195 Power Pack winner is on Brandon Davis Wrong favorite here. Batgerel is a straight ahead striker/brawler with little else in his arsenal. Davis has been in with so much better, losing a split decision to Giga Chikadze as recently as 2019. Davis has been on a roll of late and has so many more weapons in his arsenal and ways to win. Davis by decision. |

10-16-21 | Istela Nunes v. Ariane Carnelossi -131 | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 16 h 36 m | Show | |
DMack UFC FN 195 Power Pack winner is on Ariane Carnelossi Isela Nunes has not fought in three years and gets no soft touch here in Ariane Carnelossi. The Brazilian is a 5'2" mighty might with exceptional strength ,excellent cardio, and a huge will to win. Nunes is long and a striker but eventually this will get to the ground with Carnelossi getting the duke with late ground and pound. |

10-16-21 | Red Sox +118 v. Astros | 9-5 | Win | 118 | 12 h 51 m | Show | |
DMACK'S MLB PLAYOFF PLAY OF THE DAY is on the Boston Red Sox If there is one person who can right the BoSox ship after last night's horrific crushing loss, it's the unflappable Nathan Evoldi and his bionic arm. Evoldi is 2-0 with a 1.65 ERA in his L3 starts and is a LT 3-1 with a 1.93 ERA in eight starts. The Red Sox went 1-9 with runners in scoring position last night and have still scored 29 runs in its last four games. This is a must win for the Red Sox and they get it done, likely in a big way. |

10-16-21 | Purdue v. Iowa UNDER 43 | 24-7 | Win | 100 | 12 h 31 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NCAAF WEEK VII TOTAL OF THE WEEK is on Purdue/Iowa Under This is a kind of strange matchup here. Thought about grabbing 12 with the Boilers on the assumption that Iowa would be hung over after their street fight with Penn State last week. That said, the Hawkeye offense has been toothless and strangely enough, Iowa is No.3 out of 135 FBS schools in total punts. Purdue is 5-0 to the Under this year and the Boilers are not exactly offensively endowed. Both teams run the ball and run clock. This one has 17-10 20-12, 24-3 written all over it. Play the UNDER. |

10-16-21 | UAB -16 v. Southern Miss | 34-0 | Win | 100 | 11 h 18 m | Show | |
DMACK's NCAAF CONFERENCE USA GAME OF THE WEEK winner is on UAB Southern Miss was not all that much and now they're a train wreck thanks to multiple injuries that include their two best quarterbacks. UAB is a nice program that often flies under-the-radar thanks to their low profile. The Blazers should be licking their chops, especially the defense. Southern Miss is rushing for just 38 ypg. in their last four games. The Eagle OL has allowed a whopping 28 sacks already, UAB got eight last week in their game vs. FAU. The Blazers offense does some good things and should handle a Southern Miss defense that could not stop UTEPs ground and pound last week. UAB 44-13. |

10-16-21 | Rutgers -2 v. Northwestern | 7-21 | Loss | -110 | 64 h 8 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NCAAF GAME OF THE MONTH winner is on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights The Northwestern Wildcats are among the most disappointing teams in college football and have been reduced from Big Ten division champs to the conference bottom-feeder. Nebraska took out their frustrations on the Cats in a gold old fashioned behind the woodshed beat down. Rutgers will love this weeks drop in class after going 0-3 through the Michigan, Ohio State, Michigan State gauntlet. Rutgers opened the dog and was bet up ... the Knights 6-0 as a dog since the return of Schiano to Piscataway. It won't be pretty as Rutgers wins 26-13 but for you it looks like just 54-7. Rutgers start to finish, wire-to-wire. |
|||||||
10-15-21 | Red Sox v. Astros -133 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 35 m | Show | |
DMACK'S MLB PLAYOFF PLAY OF THE DAY is on the Houston Astros Chris Sale was actually quite good after returning in the second half from Tommy John surgery. His playoff numbers are skewed by his bad start against the Rays but still couldn'tconsider backing him here against the raging Astros. Say waht you want about Houston but they are a professional bunch that has been in the playoffs five straight years. The beat a pretty good White Sox lineup with little trouble scoring 31 runs in four games. They're 7-3 in their L19 and 7-2 at home. Framber Valdez was 2-1 with a 1.59 ERA in three starts against the BoSox and should pitch well enough to get the home team off to a fast start in Game One of the ALCS series. |
|||||||
10-15-21 | Marshall -11 v. North Texas | 49-21 | Win | 100 | 47 h 28 m | Show | |
DMACK'S FRIDAY NCAAF BANKROLL BUILDER winner is on the Marshall Thundering Herd. The homestanding Mean Green have lost four straight after blowing out a FCS school in their opener. No breaks here meeting a Marshall team looking to get it's own swagger back. In fact, The Herd snapped a tough three game run with a 20-13 win over Old Dominion but will look to get their offense going against a team that has allowed 147 points in it's L4 and that includes holding La Tech to 24. True, Marshall plays for the 7th straight week but they have 15 days off after prior to five VERY winnable games that would leave them 9-3 and in line for a decent bowl game. Marshall 37-20. |

10-14-21 | Dodgers v. Giants -101 | 2-1 | Loss | -101 | 31 h 29 m | Show | |
DMack's Dodgers/Giants Win or Go Home winner is the Giants Both teams are now sitting at 109 wins and somebody goes home tonight. Can't take anything away from either starter but backing the homestanding Giants here with Logan Webb. He put the Dodgers light's out in Game One and he's just been nails all year. Urias has done the same for Los Angeles and was a big part of last year's championship. The Giants just ever give it. Take San Francisco. |
|||||||
10-14-21 | Bucs v. Eagles OVER 52 | 28-22 | Loss | -111 | 29 h 17 m | Show | |
DMack's Bucs/Eagles Thursday Night Thunder is on the OVER This number looks very manageable, especially with the Bucs off a 33 first down, 558 yard effort over the Dolphins last week. Looks like Bucs are really in sync on the offense. Philly made nice late surge to beat Carolina in a slugfest. The Eagles seem to come up with big plays week after week and there is no reason to think it won't happen again here to a very thin Buc bac seen. See these teams trading points into the 60s with Philly doing it's share of the heavy Lifting. Play the Over. |

10-12-21 | Appalachian State -5 v. UL-Lafayette | 13-41 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
DMACK's TUES SUNBELT SUPER PLAY: APP ST vs. ULL winner is Appalachian State This is a revenge spot for the Mounties who lost to the Cajuns last year after winning eight prior in the series. Two experienced teams but where as App State seems to get better each week, Louisiana has never found it mojo from last year despite 20 returning starters. The Cajuns were outgained by 100 yards in a 20-18 over a pedestrian South Alabama team in last and take a HUGE jump in class vs. 4-1 team whose only loss was bt two points at Miami, Fla. The books realised early on that the Cajuns aren't all that so the number, though higher than we'd like it, is reasonable and about right. |
|||||||
10-11-21 | Colts v. Ravens -7 | 25-31 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
DMACK'S COLTS/RAVENS MONDAY NIGHT MAGIC winner is on the Baltimore Ravens This is the third straight road game for Indy, a traditionally tough spot from a handicapping aspect. The Colts are battered on the offensive line and that has proven out in their numbers, 9-27 on third down in their two road games and 31st in points scored in red zone possessions. Indy has been in those games based solely on creating seven turnovers and are +4. The Ravens have won three straight and are 16-8-1 ATS off their L25 wins. The Ravens are 4-1 L5 in the series winning the last three games by 14-15-7. Not anxious to lay a full touchdown with the Ravens but there is little to nothing tp recommend on the Colts. Baltimore 26-10. |
|||||||
10-11-21 | Brewers v. Braves -110 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 2 h 22 m | Show | |
DMACK'S MLB PLAYOFF PLAY OF THE DAY winner is on the Atlanta Braves The Brewers are 19-8 in games started by Freddy Peralta this year but Peralta tailed off in the second half and Milwaukee is struggling at the plate, especially with runners (0-8) in scoring position. Ian Anderson had some success in the playoffs last year (2-0, 0.96) and figures to have success against the Brew Crew who he shut down on a run in six innings the only time he face then this year. Take Atlanta. |
|||||||
10-10-21 | Bills +3 v. Chiefs | 38-20 | Win | 100 | 117 h 45 m | Show | |
DMack's Bills/Chiefs Late Show Bail out Winner is on the Buffalo Bills This is a rematch of last year's AFC Championship game won by the Chiefs 38-24. Looking for Buffalo to make a statement here against a Chief team that just can't stop anyone on defense. Kansas City ranks between 30-32 (last or near last) in every valid defensive handicapping metric and face a Buffalo team that has scored 118 points in three games since their opening day debacle against the Steelers. Kansas City split it's first four games despite Mahomes still generating 33.3 ppg. That might not be the case here against a Bills defense that has give up just 4 TDs in the L43 drives they have faced. Buffalo 37-30 |
|||||||
10-10-21 | Giants +7.5 v. Cowboys | 20-44 | Loss | -130 | 73 h 57 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Week V 3-Game Power Pack winner is on the NY Giants This is simply too many points to be giving a Big Blue team that is starting to hit on all cylinders behind Daniel Jones. Dak will get his but when you consider that the G-Men are 8-2 in the their L10 as a division road dog and that the last three Giants games were decided by three or less point or in overtime. the Giants are 18-4 as a road dog period in all away from hone propositions. The Giants stay within the fill touchdown and a hook. |
|||||||
10-10-21 | Rays v. Red Sox UNDER 8.5 | Top | 4-6 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 40 m | Show |
DMACk"S MLB PLAYOFF PLAY OF THE DAY is on the UNDER Thought about pulling the trigger on the BoSox until taking a closer look at this VERY generous total. You absolutely couldn't find two pitchers in better form and that have had success against the other. Drew Rasmussen is 3-0 with a 1.93 ERA over his last 10 starts. He's 1-0 with a 2.08 ERA in three starts against Boston this year. You saw Nathan Evoldi handle the Yankees with ease and he's a journeyman that that lives for the post season where he's 3-1 with 1.63 ERA in seven limited starts. Key game of the series and runs witll be tough to come by. Play the UNDER. |
|||||||
10-10-21 | Saints -1 v. Washington Football Team | 33-22 | Win | 100 | 109 h 13 m | Show | |
DMACK'S WEEK V NFL GAME OF THE WEEK winner is on the New Orleans Saints The Saints play their fifth game in five different cities and you can't help but think that poor logistics has a lot to so with New Orlean's 2-2 start. Major edge to Sean Payton here and that will be the difference. When New Orleans gets in the red zone, they score touchdowns. That's 11 in 12 tries this year. Jameis should do some business against the WFT whose defense is allowing opposing offenses to convert 59% of their third downs. The Saints are 16-7 ATS in L23 as a road fave, 12-3 ATS in their L15 games where the spread was +-3, and can leave it on the field here with a bye (4-1 ATS L5 prior) next week |
|||||||
10-10-21 | Packers -3 v. Bengals | 25-22 | Push | 0 | 69 h 7 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Week V 3-Game Power Pack winner is on the Green Bay Packers The Bengals are 3-1 this year and have been doing what good teams do ..... figuring out ways to win. Burrow has been really good and has meshed with former teammate Chase to become a formidable go to. Aaron Rodgers has posted 30 points per game for the Packers following their Week I debacle with the Saints. Cinn is improved but by how much i too soon to tell. There aren't many times you'll get Aaron Rodger at less then a FGvs. a young team. Lay it. |

10-10-21 | Broncos -1 v. Steelers | 19-27 | Loss | -108 | 5 h 15 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NFL WEEK V LATE STEAM RELEASE is on the Denver Broncos Teddy Bridgewater being cleared to play puts this game in a whole new prospective. With Bridgewater, the Broncos run a controlled offense that moves the chains and does not turn the ball over which is exactly the type of team that has success against the Steelers. Big Ben is a spent shell and the Steelers are left with next man up because of their many key injuries. Look for Denver to break the Steelers down late and extend to a 1-14 point win in the fourth quarter. |
|||||||
10-10-21 | Jets +3 v. Falcons | 20-27 | Loss | -120 | 66 h 39 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Week V 3-Game Power Pack winner is on the NY Jets Both teams have struggled and bot team here are struggling with multiple injuries. The Jets were resilient in their first win of they year at Tennessee. The Falcons gave one away against the WFT in most recent and will likely working behind the eight ball here. This is the first time in London for both teams. Jets HC Robert Salah has done it three times as an assistant so he might have a better idea of how to get it done logistically. Jets 23-17. |
|||||||
10-09-21 | UCLA -16 v. Arizona | 34-16 | Win | 100 | 55 h 6 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAF Week VI 3-Game Power Pack Late winner is on the UCLA Bruins UCLA came up with another inexplicable dud in last week's home loss to Arizona State. After the Bruins came up with a similar performance in a loss to Fresno State, they followed that up by drubbing a much better Stanford team in Palo Alto. Can't see any reason that wouldn't happen again here against a Pac 12 bottom of the barrel Arizona Wildcat team. Arizona has scored 19 points or less in 7 straight games and are just 2-9 ATS L11 on their home field. UCLA can name the score and will. |
|||||||
10-09-21 | Alabama -17.5 v. Texas A&M | 38-41 | Loss | -109 | 22 h 48 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAF Linesmaker Error winner is on the Alabama Crimson Tide The Aggie do not produce a lot f points at 100% and now we're asking A&M to trade with the Tide with quarterback issues. It won't happen. The Aggie defense which is the only thing left that could keep them in this game has allowed 900+ yards the last two weeks, not exactly what you want to see before Alabama. Btyce Yound now has a 12-1 TD/INT ratio and just not turning the ball over. All Bama here ... call it 45-10. |
|||||||
10-09-21 | Notre Dame +1 v. Virginia Tech | 32-29 | Win | 100 | 52 h 7 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAF Week VI 3-Game Power Pack Late winner is on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish Virginia Tech is off a bye off a ho-hum win over FCS Richmond and a loss at West Virginia. In short, the Hokies have not reproduced the effort in their win over North Carolina back on the first week of the season. Easy thinking here. Notre Dame never showed up in their showdown with Cincinnati and it couldn't have been much fun at Irish practice this week. Notre Dame is better in all three aspects of the game, offense, defense, special teams and getting points however small. Expect Notre Dame to get back into the win column with an easy wire-to-wire win here. |
|||||||
10-09-21 | Michigan -3.5 v. Nebraska | 32-29 | Loss | -104 | 52 h 5 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAF Week VI 3-Game Power Pack Late winner is on the Michigan Wolverines The Wolverines are are 5-0 and 2-0 in the Big Ten by exerting their will over their opponents. They are averaging 144 more yards more than their opponents allow per game, defensively they give up 132 yards yards less than their opponents generally produce. Expect Nebraska keep this game a game for a half before Michigan breaks the Husker will and extend to a late double-digit win. |
|||||||
10-09-21 | UTEP -2 v. Southern Miss | 26-13 | Win | 100 | 52 h 4 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NCAAF UNDER THE RADAR SUPER PLAY winner is on the UTEP Miners UTEP is 4-1 for the first time since 2010 and the Miners are playing some pretty good football. They are not great by any means and were blown out at Boise but they've beaten four teams they were supposed to beat somewhat comfortably and their power running game and sold defense will always keep the Miners in games like this. Southern Miss has won five straight in the series but might be in for some payback here. The Golden Eagles are down to their third string quarterback and he'll be protected by an offensive line that has already yielded 23 sacks. This is a good spot for UTEP before facing the meat of their schedule. A win here and some very winnable games late could have the Miners in a bowl for the first time in a ling time. UTEP 31-10. |
|||||||
10-09-21 | Braves v. Brewers UNDER 7.5 | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 14 h 16 m | Show | |
DMack's MLB Play of the Day is on the Braves/Brewers Under Runs will be hard to come by here just like they were in Game One. Max Fried has been lights out 3-0, 0.78 in his L3 starts Brandon Woodruff had a tough second half for the Brewers but he's come up big (2.57) in six career playoff games and he's also 1-1 with a 2.70 ERA in three games against the Braves this year. It may not be 2-1 like last night but 3-2, 4-2, 3-1 is definitely a possibility. Play the Under. |

10-09-21 | Oregon State -3.5 v. Washington State | 24-31 | Loss | -110 | 89 h 41 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAF Week VI Early 3-Game Power Pack winner is on the Oregon State Beavers The 4-1 Beavers obviously learned a lot in their opening game loss at Purdue. OSU followed up that loss with kill shot wins over Hawaii and Idaho and then won easily at USC and beat Washington at home. Wazzou is off a nice win at Cal but were spanked at home by USC and Utah. This is not an A+B =C play. Oregon State is the better team by double-digits. |
|||||||
10-09-21 | SMU -13.5 v. Navy | 31-24 | Loss | -104 | 89 h 35 m | Show | |
DMack's Week VI NCAAF Can of Whup Ass winner is on the SMU Mustangs Navy should be winless at this point at 0-4. If you think the Midshipmen turned the corner last week in beating UCF, consider that the Knights were without their starting QB, RB, top WR, and four defensive starters. Navy still trailed by 14 late in the third before rallying. SMU (5-0) and QB Tyler Mordecai (70%, 1569, 24/6) are killers and onlt their road wins at La Tech and TCU are by less than 24 points. Navy is Navy and will fight like hell being supremely coached by Coach Ken but at the end of the day, Navy will not be able to keep up with the Stangs quick strike offense. SMU stays undefeated with a 49-23 type win here. |

10-09-21 | Georgia -14.5 v. Auburn | 34-10 | Win | 100 | 88 h 30 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAF Week VI 3-Game Early Power Pack winner is on the Georgia Bulldogs The Georgia Bulldogs have won their four games by a 205-23 aggregate and seem destined to meet Bama in the SEC championship game. The Dawgs have played their starts sparingly and won last week with their second quarterback. Auburn has been fine with their lone loss at Penn State. They have a veteran QB with 29 starts in Nix but are simply overmatched here. Georgia is 7-1 in the L8 in the series and the favorite is 9-3 in the L12 meetings. This Georgia defense is special. Georgia 35-10. |
|||||||
10-09-21 | Wake Forest -5.5 v. Syracuse | 40-37 | Loss | -120 | 88 h 25 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAF Week VI 3-Game Early Power Pack winner is on the Wake Forest Demon Deacons Syracuse has plenty of experience and has played well but their I-A wins are over Ohio and Liberty and lost to previously winless Florida State last week, a game they basically trailed throughout. Wake is 5-0 and ranked No.19 in the AP having scored 35+ points in every game this year. The Deacs are equally experienced returning 20 starters and 102 starts on the offensive line. Wake Forest is for real and with Army and Duke on deck, the Deacs can take this a long way before they meet the meat of their schedule. Wake by 13. |

10-08-21 | Stanford +12 v. Arizona State | 10-28 | Loss | -100 | 72 h 2 m | Show | |
DMack's Friday Stan/ASU Pac12 Super Play is on the Stanford Cardinal Stanford is on a short week after it's OT win over Oregon while the Sun Devils are off a big win at UCLA to improve to 4-1. The Cardinal has won six of the last seven in the series and has done some pretty good work on the road including an upset win over USC after getting mauled by Kansas State in it's opener. If Stanford can rush the football with any success and get some pressure Sun Devil QB Daniels who has a propensity to turn the football over, Stanford not only has a big shot to cover but also to win straight up. 27-23 whatever. |

10-08-21 | Dodgers v. Giants +109 | 0-4 | Win | 109 | 22 h 47 m | Show | |
DMACK'S FRI MLB PLAYOFF PLAY OF THE DAY is on the San Francisco Giants The series features the two best teams in baseball and is almost even in several respects. The Dodgers have won eight straight and Walker Beuhler has found his long last form in his last two starts after a long late summer. The Giants held off the Dodgers the entire season with all kings of chances to fold ... they didn't and won 107 games. Logan Webb is 3-0 with a 4.31 ERA in his last six starts, not near as impressive as Beuhler's last two but San Fran is a mind boggling 18-2 in his L20 starts meaning he'll always give you a chance to win. The Giants have found a way all year and will find a way here to go up 1-0 in this series. |

10-07-21 | Rams -2 v. Seahawks | 26-17 | Win | 100 | 6 h 9 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Thursday Night Thunder winner is on the Los Angeles Rams Like the Rams to snap out of it after getting hammered by the Cards last week. That was a real soft spot for the Rams after absolutely dominating Tampa Bay the week before. Seattle has split four games, living and dying by the big play. The Ram defense has been a bit out of sorts in last two but has never been bothered by Russ with LA 6-2 last eight in the series. Should be plenty of points here but when the smoke clears, it's the Rams that will be the last man standing. |
|||||||
10-07-21 | Houston -5.5 v. Tulane | 40-22 | Win | 100 | 45 h 39 m | Show | |
DMack's Thursday Night Thunder winner is on the Houston Cougars Tulane has played a tough schedule to this point but has suffered from facing big offense after big offence. It doesn't get better here facing a Houston Cougar outfit that finally looks like it has figured things out and comes with a VERY tough defense on the other side. The Wave and this coach has been very successful in the home dog role but ..... new year and a new team and this year's Tulane team has been getting beat up early and with any success coming in garbage time late when the game has already for the most part already having been decided. Houston 43-27. |
|||||||
10-07-21 | White Sox v. Astros -130 | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 5 h 45 m | Show | |
DMACK'S MLB PLAY OF THE DAY WINNER is the Houston Astros Lance Lynn started the season with serious Cy Young aspirations but much like his team, sputtered out with a basically .500 second half. The White Sox were good early but basically ran through their division early to get to this point. You might also be able to say the same thing about the Astros who basically cruised in the AL West but this team is a proven commodity in the playoffs. McCullers is 3-1 with a 2.83 ERA in his L6 starts and and 4-1 with a 2.17 ERA vs. the Pale Hose in six starts. Edge to the Astros in Game One. |
|||||||
10-05-21 | Yankees -120 v. Red Sox | 2-6 | Loss | -120 | 7 h 4 m | Show | |
DMack's MLB Play of the Day is on the NY Yankees One and done here and the Red Sox will be without slugger J.D. Martinez. Plain and simple, Gerrit Cole has not had it the last month. He's paid to be the stopper, the Ace, the guy that gets the money in games like these. He's 8-4 with a 2.68 ERA in 13 post season starts and figures to be dialed in for a top effort. Nothing wrong with Nathan Evoldi but he's a journeyman at best that gives you what he's got. BoSox has overachieved this year to get to this point. Yanks adavnec to face the Rays. |
|||||||
10-04-21 | Raiders v. Chargers -3 | 14-28 | Win | 100 | 36 h 40 m | Show | |
DMACK'S MONDAY NIGHT MAYHEM winner is on the Chargers The Raiders are off to a fast 3-0 start with two wins in OT. Derek Carr is getting some early MVP run but the Magic Bus stops here. Past Charger trends are not valid here as the Bolts are a completely new animal with Justin Herbert. The Super Chargers are converting better than 50% (23-42) of their third downs and Bolt wide outs Mike Williams and Keenan Allen should do some big business against a soft Raider back seven. The Chargers are for real and win this one by 7-10 points. Lay it. |
|||||||
10-03-21 | Bucs -7 v. Patriots | 19-17 | Loss | -102 | 46 h 41 m | Show | |
DMack's Tampa Bay/Pats Sunday Night Magic winner is on the Tampa Bay Bucs Brady makes his return to Foxboro in this long anticipated Sunday Night showdown. Sadly for the Pats though, it will be all business on the Tampa Bay side, especially after getting manhandled by the Rams last week snapping the Bucs 10-game win streak over two years. Mac Jones looked ver ordinary in throwing three picks against the Saints last week and meets a very formidable pass rush here. Who would know how to pick apart the Pat defense better than the quarterback that led them for 18 years. Rookie QB's started the week 1-10 ATS before Trevor Lawrence Thursday. Tampa Bay 38-17. |
|||||||
10-03-21 | Steelers v. Packers -6.5 | 17-27 | Win | 100 | 79 h 12 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NFL WEEK IV PERSONAL BEST is on the Green Bay Packers The Steelers are off a stunning home loss to the Bengals in a game that Cincinnati basically did whatever it wanted. Pittsburgh was short-handed for sure with multiple starters out including T.J. Watt. It looks like Watt will be back but not the others and they'll face a Packer team that is just starting to hit stride now after three games and should only be better here at home at Lambeau Field. Rodgers can only be better now as he pretty much worked out the kinks and close to his top form. Pittsburgh was able to upset Buffalo on the road in Week One but that won't happen here. Green Bay wins this by double-digits. |
|||||||
10-03-21 | Mets v. Braves -135 | 0-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 9 m | Show | |
DMACK'S MLB PLAY OF THE DAY is on the Atlanta Braves The Mets are 7-15 in their L22 games and just 1-8 in their L9 road games. They've mailed it in. The Braves send Charlie Morton to the mound and he's 2-1 with a 2.63 ERA over his L6 starts. He's 2-0 with a 2.61 ERA in four starts against the Mets. Morton is scheduled to pitch Game One of the playoffs on Friday so this will likely be a tightner but the Bravo pen has been good for a while and should carry them through here. Take the Braves. |
|||||||
10-03-21 | Titans -6 v. Jets | 24-27 | Loss | -110 | 38 h 26 m | Show | |
DMack NFL Power Pack winner on the Tennessee Titans The Titans will be somewhat short-handed here to be sure but that should not keep Tennessee from controlling this game start to finish and getting out of Dodge with a routine double-digit win. After getting spanked in their opener, the Titans have rushed the football for 392 yards in their two subsequent wins. The Jets have scored two touchdowns in 32 drives and have been outscored 46-3 in their first halves. To make matter worse, the Titans have outscored their opponents 35-12 in the second half as Henry gets stronger every second half carry. Big edge to Vrabel on the sidelines. Tennessee 27-10. |
|||||||
10-03-21 | Panthers v. Cowboys -4 | 28-36 | Win | 100 | 38 h 25 m | Show | |
DMack NFL Power Pack winner on the Dallas Cowboys The Panthers are 3-0 but take a huge step up in class here, especially in opposing quarterback. The Panther have allowed just 30 points and 191 yards per but is Carolina that good or their opponents that bad. The Cowboys are 3-0 ATS and scoring 30 ppg. behind Dak Prescott. The poke defense is a work in progress but has been on the improve weekly under new DC Dan Quinn. Panthers will be without the oft-injured McCaffrey here, home field negates shot week for the Cowboys who win this by 10. |

10-03-21 | Washington Football Team -118 v. Falcons | 34-30 | Win | 100 | 32 h 58 m | Show | |
DMack NFL Power Pack winner on the WFT money-line Two teams looking to change their fortunes vs. the perfect opponent to get that ting accomplished. The WFT defense just has to be better than it has played to this point. The front seven should be able to pin their ears back and go after spent bullet and stationary target Matt Ryan. The Falcons have thrown the ball 84 times the last two games, run just 40. This is a crossroad game for Tyler Heinicke who will face a team that gave up 80 points in two games before facing the Giants last week. Washington 23-13. |

10-02-21 | Fresno State -10.5 v. Hawaii | 24-27 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 24 m | Show | |
DMACK's NCAAF WEEK V LATE SHOW BAIL OUT winner is on the Fresno State Bulldogs Hawaii has done some nice things but at the end of the day is just a hit or miss .500 Mountain West outfit. The Warriors don't even throw the ball anymore like we've become accustomed to. Gonna give Fresno a mulligan for sleepwalking through UNLV last weekend. They were off bug UCLA win and never really got going at any point in the game. Haener is a big time gunslinger that will do some business here. Line is skewed to our advantage as this number would be closer to 21 if not for the dud in Vegas. UCLA is a common opponent at the Rose Bowl ..... Fresno wins 40-37, Hawaii loses 44-10. Fresno State wins this 45-20. |

10-02-21 | Johnny Walker +139 v. Thiago Santos | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 6 m | Show | |
DMack's UFC Fight Night 139 Main Event Super Play is on Johnny Walker Both fighters are super aggressive and often leave caution to the wind that gets them in trouble. Santos has not been the same since his split decision loss to Jon Jones and has seemed to have lost something since his knee reconstruction. Walker looked good against Spann off of two straight losses and may have figured things out. He's long, athletic, powerful and has killer knees and elbows. Walker is a very live dog here and we'll grab the extra 40 cents. |

10-02-21 | Indiana v. Penn State -12.5 | 0-24 | Win | 100 | 69 h 0 m | Show | |
DMack's Big Ten Game of the Month winner is on the Penn State Nittany Lions Indiana had a magical season in 2020 but things have not gone as well in 2021 despite returning most of last year's team. The Hoosiers were smoked at Iowa and Cincinnati and were life and death to beat Western Kentucky, giving up 458 yards of offense to the Hilltoppers. Penn State plays nasty defense and have managed to score enough points to get by. The Nits have Iowa on deck in a No.4 vs. No.5 but that game will be meaningless if Penn State doesn't take of business at home. Like Penn State to win this by at least two touchdowns and cover this dead number. |

10-02-21 | Connecticut v. Vanderbilt -14.5 | 28-30 | Loss | -108 | 20 h 23 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAF Week V Power Pack winner is on the Vanderbilt Commodores This might be the only times in our lifetimes that we lay two touchdowns with Vandy, regardless of who they play. That's really indicative of how bad UConn really is. The Commodores can play a bit. They've faced the 18th strongest schedule in the country and don't belong playing Stanford and Georgia but they did come from 14 points down to beat Colorado State at Fort Collins. The Huskies showed some life last week vs. Wyoming but that was like the arm of a dead body twitching on a slab. UConn has a 10-point loss to Holy Cross and 45, 49, and 31 point losses to their other three FBS opponents. Vandy has this one chance to go out and abuse someone as if they were a real SEC team and will not let the home crowd down. Call this 44-17 Vandy. |

10-02-21 | Northwestern +12 v. Nebraska | 7-56 | Loss | -116 | 20 h 12 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAF Week V Power Pack winner is on the Northwestern Wildcats Nebraska has won three of four in the series including last year during Northwestern's magical 2020 run. The Huskers have played hard the last two weeks in losses to Oklahoma and Michigan State but the key word here is losses as Nebraska has never turned the corner with Scott Frost. Northwestern has underachieved in September but has taken steps for Pat Fitzgerald. If the Wildcats do what they do ...... run the ball, shorten the game, and play solid defense .... Northwestern will not only cover this close to two touchdowns, they'll have a chance to win. |

10-02-21 | Syracuse +4.5 v. Florida State | 30-33 | Win | 100 | 81 h 24 m | Show | |
DMack's Saturday College Football Dog Bite winner is on the Syracuse Orangemen Not sure how a 0-4 Florida State team is a more than a FG favorite over a pretty good outfit Syracuse outfit. How good is the Orange ??? Their lone loss was to a pretty good Rutgers teams and that game was 7-7 late into the third period. Syracuse is off an upset of a pretty good Liberty team. Florida State is not very good and with the no light at the end of the tunnel. The Seminoles were down 31-7 to Louisville last week before making a token run late that has been made more of that it actually was. Remember that the Sems have lost to FCS Jacksonville State and blasted at Wake. With at North Carolina and at Clemson sandwiched around a game with UMass on deck, the best Florida State can hope for to evade eight straight losses is a win over the Minutemen. Syracuse wins this straight up. |

10-02-21 | Ohio State v. Rutgers +15.5 | 52-13 | Loss | -106 | 16 h 28 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAF Week V Power Pack winner is on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. For whatever the reason, Rutgers and Greg Schiano go together like peanut butter and jelly. His first stint at Rutgers was the best run by the Scarlet Knights in 50 years and now, the second time around, the Knights are competitive and 9-4 ATS in Schiano's games, 4-0 ATS this year. Last week the Scarlet Knights held Michigan (who led the nation in rushing coming in) to just 112 yards in coming up short. This Ohio State team is far from the group of destroyers we've been used to in the past and dealing with issues themselves. Simply too many points here. |
|||||||
10-02-21 | Arkansas v. Georgia UNDER 50 | 0-37 | Win | 100 | 17 h 43 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAF Week V Super Total is on Arkansas/Georgia UNDER This looks like a good old-fashioned defensive slobber-knocker between the No.12 and No.1 team in total defense in the country. Arkansas has allowed opponents just seven touchdowns and 4.09 yards-per-play. Georgia has given up two touchdowns in four games while giving up just 3.27 yards-per-play. Makes no bones about it, the Razors are one of the four best team in the SEC and that will be on display here. 20-17 sounds about right and it might not get that high. Play the UNDER. |

10-01-21 | Iowa -4 v. Maryland | 51-14 | Win | 100 | 84 h 6 m | Show | |
DMack's Friday Night NCAAF Weekend Appetizer is on the Iowa Hawkeyes We learned some valuable lessons in September in college and pro football, lessons we can take with us the rest of the way. Iowa has been a destroyer to this point allowing just 44 total points in four games and we have multiple reasons to grab the Hawkeyes here. Maryland is undefeated but in all honesty has underachieved, beating teams like Illinois in games the Terps really should have won by double-digits plus. You could really make the same case for the Hawkeyes but Iowa has a top ten defense and a punishing, grind it out rushing attack. The number is low based on last week's ho hum effort vs. Colorado State and a showdown with Penn State on the 9th. In the end, in the Tigerhawks first two games against Indiana and Iowa State, Iowa dominated up front on both side of the ball. 4-0 Maryland will get Ferentz' attention and his team will be ready to play and win by double-digits setting up next week's No.4 vs. No.5. Iowa 27-17. |

10-01-21 | Phillies v. Marlins -121 | 5-0 | Loss | -121 | 13 h 33 m | Show | |
DMack's MLB Play of the Day is on the Miami Marlins The Phillies have lost four straight and were eliminated from the playoffs last night. Can't imagine that this team is looking forward to this series but instead will be making vacation plans, T-times, and thinking about what t say at their exit interviews. Miami hasn't been much but has played hard down the stretch. Like Alcantara who like early Gerrit Cole, is a good young pitcher with real good stuff ..... saddled on a so so team. Remember the Marlins made the playoff last year, and were hit with many key injuries this year. Take Miami. |

09-30-21 | Jaguars v. Bengals OVER 45.5 | 21-24 | Loss | -107 | 68 h 11 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Thursday Night Thunders Jags/Cinn is on the OVER Not interested in giving or taking more than a touchdown a here but much like we did in the Eagle/Cowboy matchup Monday, we can make a case for the total. The Jags are now 0-3 while allowing 91 points and are -8 (1-9) in the all important turnover category. The Bengals have been extremely explosive to this point against better defenses than they've faced here and already have a touchdown of 34+ years in all three of their games. Assuming that Cincinnati gets their point like they should, we have the Jags playing catchup and chasing in garbage time when their opponents play soft late.. Jacksonville tries hard, plays hard, but just doesn't enough talent up and down to compete on a regular basis. Jags lose 19th straight, 34-23 .... with the OVER the best option. |

09-30-21 | Phillies v. Braves -142 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 13 h 38 m | Show | |
MACK ATTACK MLB PLAY OF THE DAY is on the Atlanta Braves The Braves have a 4.5 game lead with basically five to play and can clinch the NL East with a win here. The Phillies are operating on fumes and throw Kyle Gibson and his 7.16 ERA L3 to keep any hope alive. The Bravos counter with Ian "Aqualung" Anderson who is 3-0 with a 3.46 ERA in his L5 starts. He's 0-0 with a 3.09 ERA in four starts against Philly this year. Atlanta is 9-2 L11 and in a perfect spot to get people healthy, get the starters some rest, get the reserves some playing time. and set their pitching for a run. Atlanta gets it done here and punches a ticket to the playoffs. |

09-29-21 | Yankees -111 v. Blue Jays | 5-6 | Loss | -111 | 15 h 39 m | Show | |
DMack's MLB Play of the Day is on the NY Yankees The Yankees gave Gerrit Cole 325+ million to be their ACE for the next decade. He hasn't had much chance to this point but when he's had a chance to pitch big games, he's generally come up with the goods. This is in fact a big game with the Bombers closing in a wildcard and finding best at just the right time with current 12-4 run putting the Bronx two games ahead of Boston and Seattle and three up on the Jays who they beat 7-2 last night. Next week, all slates are clean and expecting the Yanks to make a run in the AL with big bats in the middle of the lineup now all producing at the same time. Yanks get a confident call. |

09-28-21 | Brewers v. Cardinals +108 | 2-6 | Win | 108 | 12 h 19 m | Show | |
DMack's MLB Play of the Day is on the St Louis Cardinals St Louis has not officially clinched a playoff spot yet but barring the Reds winning it out and the Red Birds losing out, it's pretty much a done deal. Milwaukee has won three straight but Brandon Woodruff (who was a first half Cy Young hype) is 0-3 with a 4.33 ERA in his L3 starts and may have hit the wall. Adam Wainwright has been reborn at 40 and is 5-0 with a 2.32 ERA in his L7 starts, St Louis is 17-3 the L20 times he's taken the ball. Milwaukee can't improve it's positioning so there's little to do but rest and get their pitching in order. St Louis still officially needs to seal the deal. Cards have won 16 straight now and we know it won't go on forever but .... urgency, hot hand, dominant starter, and +108 number is impossible to ignore. |

09-27-21 | A's v. Mariners -106 | 4-13 | Win | 100 | 19 h 4 m | Show | |
DMack's MLB Play of the Day is on the Seattle Mariners Oakland has won five straight road games but that run is likely to come to an end tonight at Safeco Park. Cole Irvin toe's the rubber for the A's and has not fooled anyone with his 6.84 ERA over his L5 starts. Seattle is finishing out a nice season that they can build on. 18-9 L27, Seattle is still playing hard and Chris Flexen is 2-0 with a 1.42 ERA in his last couple. The M's are 20-9 in his starts this year. This is just about a pick so give me homestanding Seattle here. |

09-27-21 | Eagles v. Cowboys OVER 51.5 | 21-41 | Win | 100 | 17 h 55 m | Show | |
DMack's Monday Night Mayhem is on the Eagle/Cowboys Over We have a proven commodity in the Dallas Cowboys. On offense, it's Dak getting whatever he can and that's usually a good thing. The Poke defense was somewhat better last week against the Chargers than it was in the opener against the Bucs but either way, this stop unit is not very good. The Eagles offense has been surprisingly good. They have eight plays of 20+ yards in two games and they're rushing the football for 162+ ypg. Can't see this one beig anything other than a shootout and this number looks a bit cheap. Play the OVER. |

09-26-21 | Bucs -1 v. Rams | 24-34 | Loss | -110 | 103 h 54 m | Show | |
DMACK'S WEEK III NFL GAME OF THE WEEK winner is on the Tampa Bay Bucs This is a possible playoff preview and one of the few obstacles in Tampa Bay's way to a perfect 17-0 season. Both teams are 2-0 despite neither playing anywhere near their best to this point. The Rams have had the best of this series but this is a brand new Buc outfit of sorts that has now won nine straight dating back to last year. Tom Brady has been Tom Brady and Mathew Stafford has not disappointed in two games with the Rams. At the end of the day, Brady just has so many more weapons and ways to win. There is no doubt that both teams are all in both are working in tight windows. That said, it's not life and death for either team but Tampa Bay is a team poised to make history and will find a way. Tampa Bay 27-20. |
