12-23-16 | Eastern Michigan v. Old Dominion -4.5 | 20-24 | Loss | -130 | 12 h 45 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Bahama Bowl Super Play is on Old Dominion This is Eastern Michigan's first Bowl since 1987, this Old Dom's first ever since resuming football in 2009. Really like the Monarchs here all nine of their wins were by double digits including thier last five straight. Old Dom really picked up the pace in the second half averaging better than 45 ppg over their last three and are led by a dual threat quarterback that just doesn't turn the ball over. In fact, he's the team's third leading rusher and rocks a 28/4 (TD/INT) ratio. Old Dom is 7-0-1 ATS as a favorite this year and 6-0 when the line is single digits. Four of the five EMU losses were by 13+ and don't mind laying a five spot to a team that was just 7-41 the last four years and was life and death to get Bowl eligible late this year. Old Dominion. |

Mack Attack Thursday Night Thunder is on the NY Giants This is clearly the story of two teams headed in opposite directions. Big Blue has won eight of nine and their new $200 million dollar defense is just starting to gel. The Eagles are 2-9 after a 3-0 start. G-Men won first round 28-23 in Week 9 despite being outgained 443-302. In that game, the Eagles managed just 20 points from six trips to the red zone. Philly managed to get a back door cover in last but had failed to cover four straight prior and six of last seven. The Giants snapped a four game series skid with last win and figure a way to get it done and pretty much lock in first wild card and home playoff game. Giants 28-17. |

12-22-16 | Colorado State -15 v. Idaho | 50-61 | Loss | -108 | 33 h 33 m | Show | |
DMack's Idaho Potato Bowl Book Buster is on the Colorado State Rams The Vandals have been down so long that the school decided to drop down to FCS next year. So will this Bowl be extra special after the team overachieved all year. Hard to say but probably not. Linehan can throw the ball around but in the end this is a second tier Sunbelt team. Good thing are on tap for a Colorado State team that has covered seven straight and steamrolled conference play in the second half. The Rams are a perfect 5-0 in double-digit spread games and don't figure to take the foot off the pedal here. Colorado State 54-20. |

12-21-16 | BYU v. Wyoming OVER 57 | 24-21 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 54 m | Show | |
DMack's Poinsettia Bowl Super Play is on Wyoming/BYU Over the Total These two have not met since 2010 but have a long history, most recently in the Mountain West Conference. Last night's WKU/Memphis shootout stopped a run of seven straight Bowl unders and this matchup also figures to be a shootout. The Cowboys can light it up but the defense has given up 83 points and 810 rushing yards in LAST TWO. Four back the Cowboys gave up 69 points and 401 rushing yards in triple OT loss to lowly UNLV. BYU has lost three straight Bowls giving up 40+ yards per so the Cougars will be interested. Could be rainy in San Diego but temps in mid-60's so all systems go. This one should fly OVER the total. |

DMack's Boca Raton Bowl Super Play is on Memphis/Western Kentucky Over At the end of the day, these are two teams that try to outscore their opponents. 8-4 Memphis allowed 42+ in it's losses. 10-3 Western Kentucky, playing a front loaded schedule, saw five of their last six wins come by 35+ points. The Hilltoppers have been in Bowls four the last five years and their the last two years their Bowls have produced 97 and 80 points. WKU lost it's coach to Purdue but reports have the team excited to play and they'll just do what they do which is score. Memphis is 90th in the country in total defense while WKU is No.110 against the pass. Over is 7-3 Memphis L10 and 6-2 in Western Kentucky's L8. See a shootout start to finish. Play the Over. |

12-19-16 | Panthers +6.5 v. Redskins | 26-15 | Win | 100 | 64 h 1 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Monday Night Magic is on the Carolina Panthers Panthers bounced back from humiliating performance at Seattle with a solid home win over San Diego showing that Carolina hasn't quit. Up the road a piece for the Skins is no big deal as the Panthers face a team they beat 44-16 last year allowing just nine first downs. Panthers have also won the last four meetings and NFC South non-divisional road dogs are 9-2 on the year. No urgency for the Skins who just need to win period and get out of Dodge with no injuries. If Cam wears his tie on the team bus/flight, we should be in good shape with the points. |

DMack AFC Game of the Year winner is on the New England Patriots Don't think that Bill Belichck and Tom Brady are not aware of the Pats 1-6 record their L7 times in to Denver. Not the ideal spot because of short week and travel but we're sure that New England has made this a priortiy game if for nothing else getting home field through the playoffs. Pats 8-1 with Brady calling the shots including 5-0 (4-1 ATS) marker on the road. Also, the Pats just have to be red assed from last year's trip here where they dominated the game throughout on a cold wet night only to see a little used reserve make a poor decision on fielding a punt which resulted in 14 Bronco points and the Denver win. Wire-to-wire New England 31-10. |

DMack Power Pack winner on the Oakland Raiders The Raiders saw their undefeated road mark go up in smoke in Kansas City but there is no shame there and Oakland can remain where it wants to be with a win over the injury riddled Bolts. The Raiders have had three extra days to prepare and get back to their winning ways with a 27-17 kind of win here. |

12-17-16 | Southern Miss v. UL-Lafayette +5.5 | 28-21 | Loss | -115 | 57 h 15 m | Show | |
DMack's New Orlean's Bowl Super Play is on UL Lafayette We can't see this line doing anything but going down as we like the Cajuns to win straight up but buying ULL to six if you can get it will put you in a very good place. It's difficult to see where all this money is coming from. We liked ULL at four and were thrilled to see 5 1/2. Now you can get a full touchdown with a team playing ostensibly a home game in their own back yard. ULL was in this game from 2010-14 and went 4-0 SU and ATS all four times as a dog. Southern Miss lost three of four down the stretch, beat La Tech to get Bowl eligible as a 14-point dog and most importantly to you, are just 1-8 L9 ATS. S Miss lost to Sunbelt Troy by double-digits this year. Get the Cajuns and sprinkle in some money line. |

12-17-16 | Houston -3.5 v. San Diego State | 10-34 | Loss | -110 | 52 h 52 m | Show | |
DMack's Las Vegas Bowl Play is on the Houston Cougars We can't see this line doing anything but going up so it might not be a bad idea to spend the 20 cents and buy down to three while you can. San Diego State faced no spread offenses like they'll see here and to make matters worse, Cougar QB Greg Ward will be as healthy here as he's been all year. He has a tone of weapons and faces an Aztec defense that's been mauled the last two weeks for 97 points by Colorado State and Wyoming. From all indications, Rocky Long's agenda here is to get Vegas product Darnell Pumphrey the 108 yards he needs to get the all time NCAA rushing record. Houston is 9-0 when holding opponents to 38 points or less. SDSU has virtually no shot of getting that here. |

12-12-16 | Ravens +7 v. Patriots | 23-30 | Push | 0 | 67 h 43 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Monday Night Magic is on the Baltimore Ravens The Ravens are very quietly doing some nice things. They are 4-1 since their bye and giving up just 13.6 ppg. to boot. Baltimore is just 7-5 overall but holds the hammer in the AFC North thanks to their 4-0 division mark The Pats are 7-1 under Brady with six wins of 11+ but the Pats have had trouble converting in the red zone and the Ravens historically play this team tough. In fact, tow of Belichick's four playoff losses at Foxboro were courtesy of Harbaugh and the Ravens. Baltimore has some very underrated skill people on offense so we'll grab the full touchdown with a team that could very well win straight up. |

12-11-16 | Cowboys -3.5 v. Giants | 7-10 | Loss | -110 | 43 h 58 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Sunday Night Magic is on the Dallas Cowboys The Cowboys are just so much better than they were in Week I when the Giants beat them 20-19 in Jerry World. Dak and Elliot are completely familiar with the offense and the team has proven to be resilient winning whichever way you want to do it. Ball control run game keeps the defense well rest and the run game will do a whole lot more business tonight against Big Blue. Giant metrics are very deceptive for an 8-4 team including 13-38 on third down the last three games. G-Men start to get exposed down the stretch. Dallas 27-17. |

12-11-16 | Seahawks v. Packers +3 | 10-38 | Win | 100 | 39 h 55 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner is on the Green Bay Packers Aaron Rodgers has not lost a December start since his rookie season of 2008. Looks like the Packers got the memo just in time. The home team is 10-1 in the L11 series meetings with the SHawks dropping six straight here with the last win coming in 1999. Neither team has given up much in the second halves of their respective last two games. Like the more urgent Pack on a field goal in game that will be low scoring and could be decided by place kickers. |

DMACK'S NFL TOTAL OF THE MONTH is on the FALCONS/RAMS OVER There are no weather issues in Los Angeles today and we have the highest scoring offense in the NFL that also rocks a defense that has allowed 26 touchdown passes this year. The Saints blueprinted the way to exploit the Ram defense last week and Matt Ryan should have a nearly full arsenal of weapons as Julio Jones looks like he will play. Plain and simple, Falcon games go over and this one figures to also. |

DMack Power Pack winner is on the Denver Broncos We've thought all along that Siemian would play in this game and indeed he's just been upgraded to probable. He's taken half the snaps this week on his gimpy foot and should be god to go here. Denver has lost one non-division game this year (7-1, Atlanta) and the difference in QBs is immense. |

DMack Power Pack winner is on the Arizona Cardinals Both teams need the game but the Cards more so and are off best outing of he year vs. the Skins scoring five TDs and in nine drives. Arizona can move the ball if it avoids turnovers. Mimai functions best when it can run the ball but there are still numerous injuries on the offensive line. Believe that last week's beat down by the Ravens are a better REAL picture of the Dolphins than the six straight wins before. |

12-08-16 | Raiders v. Chiefs -3 | 13-21 | Win | 100 | 20 h 51 m | Show | |
DMack's Thursday Night Thunder is on the Kansas City Chiefs Two white hot teams here with the Raydas winners of six straight (5-1 ATS) and 5-0 on the road, 4-0 as a road dog. The Chiefs are quietly 19-3 straight up in their L23 lost when you including running the table to close out last year's regular season. They play arguably the ugliest football stylistically in the NFL but all they do is win. There is simply no denying how Kansas City has owned this series in recent years including a 26-10 mauling of the Black and Silver in Week Six. The Chiefs ahve won six of the last seven in the series with five of those wins coming by 14+ points. Oakland has dropped its L3 visits to Arrowhead by 17-18-6 points. In sub-20 degree weather and a short week with travel for the Raiders, expect Kansas City to continue series dominance. |

Mack Attack Sunday Night Magic is on the Carolina Panthers Carolina is a mash unit but they've battled injuries a good part of the year and nobody has been better in the second half from an ATS perspective the last three years than the Carolina Panthers. This team plays for Rivera and has taken Seattle out of the playoffs twice including last year. NFC South non-division dogs are 11-2 this year, 8-1 on the road. Gimme +7.5 with a team that plays some defense against a team that can be held to a FG of offense on any given week every time. |

12-04-16 | Redskins +3 v. Cardinals | 23-31 | Loss | -120 | 110 h 49 m | Show | |
DMack's Underdog Game of the Year winner is on the Washington Redskins If you don't think the Redskins are any good, you are sadly mistaken. The Skins are 6-2-1 L9 and come off tough Thanksgiving loss at Dallas when put in an untenable position of short week with travel after tough Sunday night game win over Packers. Cousins can throw and will make some plays against the shaky Cardinal back seven. It's just been a year to forget for Arizona between injuries, Carson Palmer's poor play and the dicey health of HC Bruce Arians. Not quite sure how the cards were favored here having turned the ball over nine times over the last four games and being outscored 41-16 in the second half of their last three. Skins have won eight of nine in the series, though not much recently. Make it nine out of ten. Washington 30-21. |

12-04-16 | Lions v. Saints OVER 52 | 28-13 | Loss | -105 | 27 h 44 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner on the Lions/Saints Over All 11 Lion games have been decided by 7 or less so not interested in taking or giving points with a Saints (6-1 L7 ATS) team that has flicked the switch. No team and player shows greater road/home dichotomy than Drew Brees and New Orleans who average 34 ppg on 486 ypg this year. Assuming Brees has an average game (and Saints still on respirator for playoffs and the Lions can duplicate their late game theatrics, this one flies over early. |

12-04-16 | 49ers v. Bears OVER 43 | 6-26 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 37 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Total of the Week is on the 49ers/Bears Over Both teams are train wrecks but both teams are starting to show at least some positive signs. Kaepernick has been able to move the football and figures to put points on the board against a Bears team allowing 24+ ppg. Barkley threw for 316 and three scores on the road against the Titans last week and would have had a ton more if not for drops by young Bear receivers. Gotta think that Chicago will do some damage against an injury depleted defense that has given up 30+ points in six of its L7 games. Light snow predicted but recent check of the weather indicated temp at kickoff around 40 so light rain at the worst. Both teams could conceivably get 30 here. Play the OVER. |
|||||||
12-04-16 | Texans v. Packers -6.5 | 13-21 | Win | 100 | 27 h 34 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner is on the Green Bay Packers There comes a time when you need to believe or not. Thought the Brockweiler was showing signs of "adapting" but after no excuses three pick performance last week, he's run out of benefit of the doubts and just appears to be a bottom third starting QB and a $72 million dollar albatross around the necks of the Titans. Admittedly I thought the Packers were toast but if the play defense like they did against the Eagles and Rodgers can get anything going against the Texan defense, this game should be a fairly easy two touchdown Green Bay win. |
|||||||
12-04-16 | Dolphins +3.5 v. Ravens | 6-38 | Loss | -105 | 26 h 56 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner is on the Miami Dolphins Miami has won and covered its L6 games and should get two starting offensive lineman back here. Last week's 14-10 late win over the Rams shows that they can win in this type of game. The Rvans are allowing 12.8 ppg since the bye but still struggle on offense with it's toothless pedestrian at best attack. Bottom line, in a game where it is likely the first one to 17 wins, gimme the FG and hook with a team that runs the ball and has won six straight. |

12-03-16 | Arkansas State v. Texas State +23 | 36-14 | Win | 100 | 89 h 12 m | Show | |
DMack Sunbelt Super Play winner is on Arkansas State * Note to everyone, it is important for you to know that my official play is on Arkansas State. Once the play is submitted .... it cannot be changed. It is all on me as I evidently wasn't paying attention. Again, to avoid all confusion ... the play is on Arkansas State. The Red Wolves shot themselves in the foot last week with the loss at Lafayette, a game they won the yardage war 534-292 but had a pick six, two missed FGs inside of 30 yards and were stuffed eight times inside the five. Prior they had won and covered all Sunbelt games, part of a current 18-4 SBC run. How high can you make a line vs. Texas State that was not only beat by 39 and 61 to Arkansas and Houston but by 20,24, 25, 37, 40 and 43 points in other Sunbelt Conference games. The only negative we can see is third straight roadies for Wolves. Arkansas State can still get a piece of the conference title with App State so expecting a razor sharp effort here and Arkansas State 54-17 type of win. Again ... this play is on Arkansas State |

12-03-16 | Baylor v. West Virginia -17 | 21-24 | Loss | -115 | 23 h 17 m | Show | |
DMack's Championship Week LAYDOWN Super Play is on West Virginia It's payback time for a Baylor team that is complete free fall and in its "worst" spot of the year. Since opening 6-0, the Bears have laid egg after egg going 0-5 SU and ATS while allowing 47.6 ppg. on 576 ypg and giving the ball up 14 times over that skid. West Virginia comes home after getting beaten up by Oklahoma but is still having its best year under Holgersen and sitting at nine wins and looking to go to a pretty good Bowl. The Mounties are home and their short memory will remember 62-38 beat down in Waco last year when Briles never took foot off the pedal. Longest road trip of the year for disinterested Baylor team that will also battle temperatures in the 30s and a well oiled up Morgantown crowd. West Virginia 54-27. |

12-03-16 | Oklahoma State +11.5 v. Oklahoma | 20-38 | Loss | -120 | 82 h 21 m | Show | |
DMack's Big 12 Championship Week Super Dog is on the Oklahoma State Cowboys The Sooners are 11-2 over the L13 in the series but the dog has covered three of the last four and the Cowboys did win straight up here the last time here in 2014. While not a championship game per se, the winner does claim the Big 12 title with a win. Both team feature excellent offenses and suspect defenses which makes up think that the Cowboys can hang around. Okie State has the best offensive line in the conference and Rudolph may not be as flashy as Mayfield, he doesn't turn the ball over and he doesn't make poor back breaking decisions. Also thinking that Oklahoma State will have a huge chip on it's shoulder flashing back to Central Mich loss and thinking about what might have been. Take the points. |

12-03-16 | Temple v. Navy -3 | 34-10 | Loss | -102 | 83 h 39 m | Show | |
DMack's AAC Championship Game Super Play winner is the Navy Midshipmen What a month of November for Navy .... 201 points, two punts and just one turnover. That's the key to Middie success .... going on long sustained drives that wear people down and hide whatever deficiencies and shrotcomings in team speed going on in the Navy defense. In the win over Notre Dame, the Irish got the ball a grand total of six times. Much respect to Temple who has covered 11 straight but we only need go back to Temple game vs. Army to see that the Owls have fits with the option as the Cadets had three drives of 70+ yards and 329 yards on the ground in opening week win. Temple is obviously better at this point but so are the Middies who are are on 6-1 ATS run and 10-2 ATS L12 at home. Walker has a FOUR YEAR M.O. of turning the ball over when the chips are down and threw three picks in loss to Army. Navy 41-30. |

12-02-16 | Ohio v. Western Michigan -18.5 | 23-29 | Loss | -106 | 66 h 45 m | Show | |
DMack's MAC Championship Super Play is on the Western Michigan Broncos This Western Michigan Broncos team is a special bunch and a win here puts them in a major Bowl (the Cotton) for the first time ever as the best non-power five program. IMO, this team is tons better than the Northern Illinois teams of five years ago that were ultimately blow out by Florida State in the Bowl. WMU QB Zach Terrell (72%, 30-1 TD/Int) runs a balanced potent offense that features probably NFL high round picks WR Corey Davis (83, 1266, 17 TDs) and RBs Franklin and Bogan who combined for 2000+ yards and 20 TDs. Ohio was best in the East but HC Frank Solich, who never won big games at Nebraska, has continued that MO at Ohio. The Broncos have covered 15 of their 20 straight up wins the last two years including routs of Ohio the last two years. Neutral site game at Ford's Field feels like a blowout. Call it 45-17 Western Michigan. |

12-01-16 | Cowboys -3 v. Vikings | 17-15 | Loss | -115 | 43 h 13 m | Show | |
DMack's Thursday Night Thunder is on the Dallas Cowboys The Vikings are just in shambles at this point thanks for the most part because of injuries. They are 1-5 SU and ATS L6 and generate virtually nothing on offense with their patchwork offensive line. Sam Bradford in a bottom tier NFL starting quarterback but unfairly gets the heat here as has no running game at all and no wide outs to throw to. Still in all he's managed to go 82-105 the last three games dinking and dunking and running for his life. The Vike defense has done it's best to hang in there but under the Cowboy offensive line ground and pound, they'll have to tap late. Dallas 33-13. |

11-28-16 | Packers v. Eagles OVER 47.5 | 27-13 | Loss | -105 | 16 h 25 m | Show | |
DMack's Monday Night Magic play is on the Packers/Eagles Over Not willing to start throwing dirt on the Packers yet despite their dismal play the last month. An interesting factoid is that the 153 points given up over the last four games by the Green Bay defense is the most allowed since a four game stretch in 1958. Vince Lombardi took over the next year. The Pack has dropped four straight on the road and the Eagles have won and covered their four home games winning all four by 9+ points. Green Bay cannot run the ball a lick so they figure to dictate pace by throwing the ball 50-60 times. Philly and Carson Wentz have averaged less than six yards per pass attempt in five of their last six games. They will have more success against the Pack stop unit with their more balanced offense. Cutting to the chase, not interested in an unreliable Eagle team facing a "wounded animal" Green Bay team with it's season on the line. That said, the only way for Green Bay to compete in this game is to outscore the homies in a shootout. Play the over and expect 60-70 points. |

11-27-16 | Chiefs +3.5 v. Broncos | 30-27 | Win | 100 | 32 h 30 m | Show | |
DMack's Sunday Night NFL Super Play is on the Kansas City Chiefs The Broncos have won seven of eight in this series but the number could very easily be a 4-4 split as Kansas City has given away several H2Hs away of late and really should have swept Denver last year. The Chiefs are horrifically boring and ugly ... rushing the football, playing defense and field position. Andy Reid is more conservative than Rush Limbaugh and you can expect a tight to the vest type of game here that could come down to a possession or the place kickers. This would be the wildcard if the playoffs started today. Three points is big in this one and the hook and even bigger selling point. Take the Chiefs. |

11-27-16 | Cardinals v. Falcons OVER 50.5 | 19-38 | Win | 100 | 25 h 20 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Total of the Month is the Cardinals/Falcons OVER This one looks to be a shootout from start to finish both from the eye test and a tech standpoint. Firstly, the average points in the Falcons four home games is 66.5 with the over a perfect 4-0. The Cardinals have played on artificial turf twice allowing 30-33 points and all four of their road games have gone over. All Dirty Bird games are 8-2 to the Over. Can't see this as anything other than Carson Palmer and Matty Ice combining for 700 yards and 7 touchdowns. Both need the game desperately and this one flies over the total. |

11-27-16 | Rams v. Saints -7 | 21-49 | Win | 100 | 25 h 16 m | Show | |
DMack NFL Power Pack winner on the New Orleans Saints Now single player has a greater home road dichotomy than Drew Brees ... he throws for 100 yards a game more and complete 10% more passes at home than on the road. Saints score 25+ when they win and less than when they lose. The Rams couldn't score with fistful of hundreds at the Spearmint Rhino and the New Orleans defense in much improved and has had extra time to prepare. Tough to lay a touchdown with a team that is 0-3 as a home fave this year but in Drew we trust. |

11-27-16 | Giants -7 v. Browns | 27-13 | Win | 100 | 25 h 12 m | Show | |
DMack Power Play winner on the NY Giants Sure the Giants wins have come by a total of 27 points but we catch a Browns team here that played hard the first half but they've thrown in the towel lately as their quarterbacks and best players fall to injuries. At this point, it's all about securing the No.1 draft pick. Weather doesn't look to be an issue and if we get the good Eli, he should have a big day. NFC East non-division road faves are 9-3 this year while AFC North non-divisional dogs are 2-9, 0-3 at home. Giants by 17. |

DMack Power Play winner on the Miami Dolphins Miami is hitting on all cylinders at the moment winning an covering five straight. The Fish are +8 in turnovers during the run and the defense is playing great allowing just 17 makes in their L59 3rd downs. The Dolphin offensive line is pretty good when healthy and in tact and keeps Tannehill out of trouble when it can run Ajai for a buck 50. Three of the 49ers road losses have come by 19-19 and 29 points and they've been outscored 79-25 in the second half of their last five games. A Miami win by eight works good for us. |

DMack's NFL Underdog Game of the Year winner is the Houston Texans Not the greatest of spots for Houston off the short week and Monday night game in Mexico City but not an ideal spot for the Chargers either. Chargers probably favored here because of sweet road ATS road run and coming off a bye but ... the Bolts are just 2-5 straight up in their L7 post byes scoring just 44 combined points in their last four. The Brockweiler is playing better in last and the Texans are 5-0 at home (3-1-1 ATS) this year and the Houston defense will be the best unit on the field. Texans straight up. |

11-26-16 | East Carolina v. Temple -20 | 10-37 | Win | 100 | 113 h 10 m | Show | |
DMack Bully Beat Down winner is the Temple Owls The Owls are the best ATS team in the nation and figure to have their own way against free falling East Carolina. Temple needs to win to lock up conference championship game bid. Covering the three touchdowns in the question and the answer is yes. The Pirates give up better than 263 ypg on the ground and better than 5.7 ypc. on offense, the Pirates can thrown the ball around a little but face the much the best defense in the AAC. Phillip Walker is a four year starter for Temple at quarterback. He's had a propensity during his career to turn the ball over but like the fact he can hurt you scrambling as wll. A clean sheet from him and we'll call this one 45-10 Owls. |

11-26-16 | Appalachian State -17.5 v. New Mexico State | 37-7 | Win | 100 | 25 h 16 m | Show | |
DMack Saturday Power Pack winner on Appalachian State The Mounties are a proven road commodity going 7-1 L8 as a road favorite. Their only loss in conference came on a late score on the road at Troy. Appalachian State plays excellent defense and can run the ball at will against a Swiss cheese Aggie defense that allows 237 a game on the ground and better than 5.0 yards per attempt. RB Moore has rushed for 100+ in seven of eight conference games and should do some business here as Mountaineers have their way throughout. |
|||||||
11-26-16 | Troy -27 v. Texas State | 40-7 | Win | 100 | 25 h 10 m | Show | |
DMack Saturday Power Pack winner on Troy Troy takes a massive drop in class after facing the last two Sunbelt unbeatens in last two. The Trojans were humiliated on their home field by Arkansas State last week after surviving App State. |

11-26-16 | Navy -7 v. SMU | 75-31 | Win | 100 | 49 h 24 m | Show | |
DMack Saturday Power Pack winner on Navy SMU needs a win here to get Bowl eligible but in the famous words of the Stones, "You don't always get what you want". That's the case here as the Middies have been good for 40+ points in four of their last five games. Stangs had no luck stopping Navy option last year allowing 403 yards overland. SMU allowing 278 per on the ground this year. Navy has owned the series at 7-1 (6-2 ATS) and is on a current 16-6-2 ATS roll. Middies tune up for AAC championship game with a three touchdown win here. |

11-26-16 | Arkansas State -5 v. UL-Lafayette | 19-24 | Loss | -106 | 44 h 25 m | Show | |
DMack's First Blood is on Arkansas State The Red Wolves have rolled through the Sunbelt winning six straight rather easily, they've won 15 straight conference games going back and are the real deal. Players buried this team after 0-4 start in money ball games against Power schools but this was a team that lost players to graduation and needed some time to get new people situated. The Cajuns don't score a lot of points and in fact when facing similar (App State) in front of a national TV audience ... were blanked 24-0. Even for road game, this number is very cheap. |
|||||||
11-26-16 | Michigan v. Ohio State UNDER 45.5 | 27-30 | Loss | -104 | 44 h 23 m | Show | |
DMack's Conference Total of the Year is on Michigan/Ohio State UNDER Regardless of who quarterbacks the Wolverines, points are going to be very tough to come by in the Horseshoe this afternoon. These are two top defenses and we know that both offenses have struggled the last couple of weeks. No real brain surgery here as we have two top five defenses in yardage and points allowed. The offenses are high powered to be sure but just think back to Wisconsin games and even Mich/Iowa to imagine what kind of old fashioned slobber knocker this will be. The final will be closer to 30 than 45 ... play the Under. |

11-25-16 | Arizona State -3 v. Arizona | 35-56 | Loss | -100 | 37 h 22 m | Show | |
DMack's Dual in the Desert winner is Arizona State The Sun Devils have been decimated with injuries all year long but to their credit, come to play every week which is all you can ask for in a "next man up" situation. The same can't be said for Arizona which looks like a team that has quit on HC Rich Rod who will likely be retained simply because of a huge buyout. The Wildcats have go no QB play from anyone and have scored 17 points or less in four of their last five. Further .... Zona is 1-10 ATS and allowing 45 ppg. in conference play. Give us the hard trying Sun Devils in a game so important to in-state recruiting and bragging rights. Arizona State 41-27. |

11-25-16 | Cincinnati v. Tulsa -22.5 | 37-40 | Loss | -104 | 79 h 40 m | Show | |
DMack's Rivalry Week Can of Whup Ass play is on the Tulsa Golden Hurricane Most of you saw the Bearcats "effort" in prime time last Thursday when Cincinnati was mauled by Memphis in a game that Tiger head coach Mike Norvell graciously took his foot off the pedal and played his kids the second half. You won't find a more offensively inept offense than Cincinnati who has scores one touchdown outside of garbage time in the last 14 quarters. Tulsa will be "Bowling" for the first time in three years and will be looking to improve their prospects with a ten win campaign and style points here. This has all the makings over a blowout and Tulsa happy to oblige. |

11-25-16 | Louisiana Tech -14 v. Southern Miss | 24-39 | Loss | -111 | 24 h 19 m | Show | |
DMack's Super Revenge Super Play is on the La Tech Bulldogs We've made a lot of money this year using La Tech in our selections and they rarely disappointed. La Tech has won seven straight, off a well timed bye and has already locked up a spot in their conference championship game. The Bulldogs will be in a foul mood here after getting spanked 58-24 in this game last year on their home field. Like the fact that Skip Holtz went to hurry up offense in the final two minute of their last game to get one final marker up 21 vs. USTA. Tech has covered six straight while the Golden Eagles are 1-9 ATS L10. Tech fine tunes with big revenge win. |

11-25-16 | Washington -6 v. Washington State | 45-17 | Win | 100 | 31 h 53 m | Show | |
DMack's Rivalry Week Game of the Year is on the Washington Huskies Mike Leach has done a real nice job with Wash State but the Coogs were exposed somewhat last week in their loss at Colorado which snapped an eight-game win streak. Wazzou is just noit that big in the trenches and lacks the team speed they face today in the Huskies. UWub has had a very good year for Peterson and showcases a team with little exposure in front of a national TV audience today. 1-4 ATS L5 mark a non-factor here as Huskies always saddled with unrealistic impost after steamrolling lesser early on. Washington has won six of seven in the series and is 6-2 ATS L8 on this field. They've won last two years by 31 and 18 and 14-20 points looks to be about right here. |

11-24-16 | Redskins +9 v. Cowboys | 26-31 | Win | 100 | 50 h 55 m | Show | |
DMack's Thanksgiving Thunder is on the Washington Redskins I am very well aware that most of you (if any) will not be able to get +9 like we did early in the week but this will just go to show why the Skins are the right side. This number came from 5 Dimes which for many unfamiliar with the offshore scene is the Ferrari/Rolex of offshores and it was an obvious attempt to balance their early action and keep the white hot Cowboys out of parlay and teaser play. Mission accomplished as the all the -7.5/-8s now are -6.5/7 and 5 Dimes itself is now at Dallas -6.5. Would ultimately like to see you all get the best of it at Skins +7/7.5 but firmly believe that Washington has a big shot to win straight up here. Sure Dallas has won and covered nine straight but the Pokes have shown chinks in the armor the last two weeks and the Skins can play. Not the best of spots on a short week and off Sunday nighter but again, the Skins can play. Washington dismantled an obviously free-falling Green Bay team but you just can't shrug off the 364 passing yards and 515 yards of total offense. Washington is 6-1-1 (7-1 ATS) L8 and remember that these two played in Week Two with Dallas escaping with a 27-23 win. All three Washington road games were decided by six points or less and the dog in NFC East division games is 4-2. Here's your shocker and remember last week's shocker was Tampa Bay .... Washington 30 Cowboys 27. |

11-22-16 | Ball State v. Miami (OH) OVER 53.5 | 20-21 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
DMack's Tuesday College Football MAC Daddy is on the Ball State/Miami Fla OVER These two haven't met since 2013 so no real recent history pertinent to the two squads meeting tonight. Ball State is a shootout team that looks to outscore their opponents. They have to because the Card defense is brutal allowing 43 ppg. over its L5 games. Miami has battles back from 0-5 with five straight wins and can get Bowl eligible here. The Red Hawks feature defense but have also averaged 31 ppg. in the current five game run. Miami is the better team and will likely win. That said, not willing to buck Ball State's 5-1 ATS mark on the road this year. If we put Miami Oh on 35+ here we just need Ball to contribute some to send this one flying over the total. Call is 42-34 whoever. Play OVER the total. |
|||||||
11-21-16 | Texans v. Raiders OVER 45 | 20-27 | Win | 100 | 9 h 53 m | Show | |
DMack's Sunday Night Super Play is on the Texans/Raiders Over Despite the Raiders roll in last seven, the bye might not be the best thing that ever happened to the Raiders as the team is just 2-12 L14 although they did cover last four. Will pass the side here and go straight to the total. Raiders offense in big time sync scoring 93 points L3, rushing the ball for 163 per and scoring touchdowns in ten of their L37 drives. The over is 7-2 L9. I think the Texans can keep their end of the bargain and help out. The Over is 4-2 in their last six and Osweiler is do for some sort of a game. Da Raydas are No.30 in defense and a horrific No.31 against the pass. Remember also that this game is also in Mexico City at 10,000 feet so both teams will be sucking eggs in the second half. Dicey side number makes total OVER the play. |

DMack NFL Power Pack winner is on the New England Patriots Tom Brady grew up in the San Francisco area idealizing Joe Montana and the 49ers. He missed the 2008 trip to Candlestick when he had his knee injury (Matt Cassel) and this will likely be his last chance to play in front of his people. Pats off a loss and playing a 49er outfit that has given up the most points in the NFL. Lay it and watch a surgical clinic by No.12. |

DMack's NFL Total of the Week is on the Eagles/Seahawks Over Any semblance of the Russell Wilson we saw against New England and we get this total whether the Eagles "participate" to the cause of not. The Philly secondary is a mash unit and play action with Russell on the move can't really not be successful. Philly will get some but counting on finally healthy Seahawk backfield to shine and for emerging wide out corps to make it's presence felt. Seattle 34-20. |

DMack NFL Power Pack winner is on the NY Giants The Giants five wins are by 20 points. They all count but this is a big gut check game for Big Blue. The Bears going through more drama with Cutler and Alshon Jeffries suspended for four games comes in here short handed and in my opinion tanking the rest of the way. The good Eli should take advantage of dinged Bear secondary and anything less than a double-digit win here by the Giants should be shame on the G-Men. |

11-20-16 | Bucs +7 v. Chiefs | 19-17 | Win | 100 | 11 h 14 m | Show | |
DMack's Week 11 NFL Upset Shocker is on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Despite the Chiefs having won five straight and 15 of 18 dating back to last year, it's impossible to lay any kind of points with this Andy Reid coached team which will just run the ball and dare you to catch up. KC just 1-6 L7 as home chalk bears this out and for the techies, the visitor in the Chiefs L51 games is 39-12 ATS. More tech, Bucs are 8-1 as a road dog off scoring 34+ points. We learned our lesson the hard way in the Kansas City win over Jax ... fool me twice shame on ... grab the points. The back door is always open in KC. |

DMack NFL Power Pack winner is on the Pittsburgh Steelers Big Ben shook off the ring rust by throwing for 200+ yards in the 4th quarter of the Ravens game and then came right back for 400+ and three touchdowns against the Cowboys last week. The Steelers have the perfect remedy for current four game skid ... the Cleveland Browns. Pitt still alive in the mediocre AFC North and the Steelers get a small part of their swagger back with a 38-17 kind of win. |

The last nine series games have been decided by 9+ points and fully expect that USC has some success here. The Trojan defense dominated a very good UWub team last week |

11-19-16 | Navy -8 v. East Carolina | 66-31 | Win | 100 | 26 h 54 m | Show | |
DMack's Saturday NCAAF Power Pack winner is on the Navy Midshipmen The Pirates are 1-7-1 against the spread in their L9 and rank No.125 in takeaway margin. The team rotates QBs and can throw the ball around on occasion but is still -90 ATS last six. ECU allowing 279 ground yards per which won't due against the nation's fourth ranked rush offense that averages 309 ypg. with it's option veer. Navy plays defense on offense as well by going on long clock eating drives, Notre Dame had just six possessions for the game when Navy edged them two weeks ago. Middies need just win out to play in conference championship. They get that here with 24 point win. |

11-19-16 | San Diego State -10 v. Wyoming | 33-34 | Loss | -100 | 51 h 20 m | Show | |
DMack's Saturday NCAAF Power Pack winner is on San Diego State A+B=C so we have SDSU and the No.5 rushing offense featuring one of the top three yardage backs in college football history (Darnel Pumphrey ... 347 yards from No.1) vs. the nations' No.122 rushing defense (298 ypg against). The Cowboys were exposed by UNLV who ran the ball for 404 yards on almost 7.0 ypc in 69-66 3 OT not so instant classic loss to the Rebels. Add to the mix that SDSU controls it's destiny in the MWC South and Rocky Long's current 15-2 ATS run in conference play and the case is strong for the Aztecs. |

DMack's Saturday NCAAF Power Pack winner is on Northwestern Gopher QB Leidner has thrown O touchdowns against five picks in last five games. Minnesota runs the ball and that's what Northwestern defends best against holding L6 opponents to just 124 per while going 5-1 ATS in that stretch. Cats have three pretty good offensive weapons and a simple straight up win gets THEM Bowl eligible meaning urgency with the Purple. Northwestern controls ground on both sides to come out with a comfortable win. |

11-19-16 | Wisconsin -27.5 v. Purdue | 49-20 | Win | 100 | 48 h 46 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAF Can of Whoop Ass play is on the Wisconsin Badgers If you were with us last week, we used Northwestern as our Big Ten Game of the Year noting that Purdue had developed an Mo for playing well in first half and quitting in the second. We noted that the Boilers had lost the L4 second halfs by an 83-10 aggregate. Purdue did us proud by losing second half 31-7 for an easy winner on the Cats. Boilers allow 280ypg rushing and Wisky RB Clement must be licking his chops watching film. Badgers need to take care of biz to get in Big Ten championship game and can grind this team down. Wisky defense takes care of the rest in 49-10 win. |

11-19-16 | Kansas State -1.5 v. Baylor | 42-21 | Win | 100 | 46 h 34 m | Show | |
Mack Attack's Big 12 Game of the Month winner is on the Kansas State Wildcats Supposedly "sharp" (the biggest horseshit term in sports betting) money coming in on Baylor and not sure why. The Bears are in freefall having three straight while allowing 47 ppg and allowing 711 rushing yards to boot. QB Russell done with a broken ankle and top back Linwood is probable but slowed by minor injuries for weeks. K State has the better QB and Baylor cryptonite with a running game that has run up 826 ground yards in its last three. Snyder the Andy Reid of college football at 8-0 ATS in his L8 out of a bye. K State by a touchdown. |

11-18-16 | Memphis -7 v. Cincinnati | 34-7 | Win | 100 | 44 h 46 m | Show | |
DMack's Friday Night Light's Bankroll Builder is on the Memphis Tigers Can't find a single reason to NOT fade Cincinnati here. The Bearcats offense is a horrific No.121 in the FBS, has scored six points in it's last two games and has produced just one touchdown in 10 quarters. Memphis is not a whole lot and several notches below last year's Paxton Lynch/Fuente edition from last year but they do have a QB in Riley Ferguson who can throw the ball around to several NFL caliber wide outs. Cinn pass defense is decent but Memphis doesn't need a whole lot to put this out of reach considering Cats offensive woes. Cinn 1-7 ATS L8 and 0-3 this year a home dog. |

11-17-16 | Arkansas State +8.5 v. Troy | 35-3 | Win | 100 | 21 h 26 m | Show | |
DMack's Thursday Sunbelt Super Play is in the Arkansas State Red Wolves These are the last two Sunbelt unbeatens so this is a de-facto championship game. Troy is 8-1 with lone loss to Clemson but the Trojans were fortunate to win an backyard street fight with App State in last and are right back in the fire on a short week. Ark State has won and covered five straight after tough start in early money games. The teams haven't played since 2013 but the Red Wolves have owned the series winning the last three straight up by 7+. Ark State has the better defense and and will be in this throughout so grabbing 8+ the way to go against dicey home favorite in conference where home fave are just 7-11 on the year. Take Arkansas State. |

11-17-16 | Saints v. Panthers UNDER 52.5 | 20-23 | Win | 100 | 19 h 33 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Thursday Night Thunder winner is the Saints/Panthers Under Both teams reeling after probable playoff killing losses last week, the Saints on a late returned blocked extra point, the Panthers after blowing a 17-0 lead at home. The teams met Week One with the Saints prevailing 41-38 in OT on a last second FG. The Saints ran out to a 21-3 lead and battled to hang on. That was two months ago and the Panthers have found their defense that last three games and there is nobody with a greater statistical home/road dichotomy than Drew Brees. No feel for a side but definitely feel that this final score is closer to 40 than 50 making UNDER the total an easy play. |

DMack's Weds NCAAF MAC Daddy is on Ball State Ball State has lost three straight, strangely enough, all but Western Michigan were teams they should have beaten. Cards play little defense but have high octane offense that should do some business against a Toledo team that really hasn't played well since national TV loss to BYU. The Rocket defense hasn't stooped a fat man in weeks and believe that Ball can trade points here in a shootout and stay under the three touchdown number. |

11-15-16 | Ohio v. Central Michigan | Top | 20-27 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 44 m | Show |
MAC ATTACK MAC CONFERENCE GAME OF THE YEAR winner is the Ohio Bobcats These are tow teams clearly headed in opposite directions. The Chips are 1-6 ATS their L7 and have appeared to hit the wall after a fast start. Ohio has six of seven and has really turned up the "D" the last three games allowing just 46 points over their last three games in the "Everything Goes" MAC and that includes a game at Toledo. The teams did not play last year and CMU has dominated the series of late but this is Solich and the Bobcat's year. They are a veteran outfit that returned a boat load of upperclassmen and starters and they will clinch a MAC championship game bid with a win here. A closer look shows the Cats 5-0 ATS on the road and 3-0 as a dog which they were with opening line. The Ohio Bobcats are as good a ground and pound as you'll see in the MAC and they win here comfortably .... call it 27-10. |

11-14-16 | Bengals v. Giants +1 | 20-21 | Win | 100 | 11 h 32 m | Show | |
DMack's Bengals/Giants Monday Night Magic winner is the NY Giants The Giants have won and covered three straight. Their $200 million dollar improved defense has played better but still has it's 2015 moments. Big Blue's only home loss was their first home game 29-27 to the Skins in a game they gave away and should have won. That said, there is always the chance of an appearance by the bad Eli and the fact that four of the Giants last six touchdowns have come on drives of 40 yards are less. The Bengals have never had success at whatever variation of The Meadowlands and are 1-12 LT with the win coming in Week One this year in a game they should have lost. The Bengals are definitely down this year and have lost their last three roadies by 8-14-18. Urgency is definitely with New York after Sunday wins by the Skins, Eagles and Cowboys. The Bengals have lost nine straight to the Giants and we'll say 10 after tonight. Call is 24-20 Giants. |

DMack's Sunday Night Super Play is on the New England Patriots This is the first meeting since the Super Bowl two years ago. Since Brady has returned, Pats 4-0 with all wins by 11 plus. The Seahawk MO is black and white. Seattle has one offensive TD in it's tie and losses but have cashed 15 times in their five wins. They can do some business against a middle of the road Pat defense but ... this is a short week plus left o right travel for the Hawks. Pats 11-2 and 8-5 ATS off L13 byes and AFC East non-division home faves are 6-2 ATS. NFC West non-division road dogs just 2-7. We're sure a win here was on the Brady "to do" list. Pats a fairly easy 27-13 winner. |

The Mack Attack's NFL Total of the Week is on the Chiefs/Panthers Under The Chiefs will likely get Alex Smith back here but the leopard won't change it's spots. Kansas City is on a 6-1 under run and is the ultimate grinder playing defense and rushing the football. Andy Reid is more conservative than Attila and the Chief front seven has allowed just 83 yards on the L27 carries they've faced. Carolina is off a 13 point 275 yard total offense performance at the Rams in last. This is a tough field possession game that could come down to the placekickers. Play the Under. |

DMack's NFL Power Pack winner is on the Atlanta Falcons Something has to give here. The Dirty Birds are 4-1 on the road and should have won at Seattle if not for dicey officiating. Matty Ice and the Hotlanta offense is rolling with nine TDs on their L17 drives. The Eagles are 3-0 at home with all wins by 11+ points. Philly has allowed just two visiting TDs in 31 drives in those three home games. Philly 1-4 L5 with Wentz rocking a 2/4 TD/Int ratio his last four while Ryan 7/0 in his last two .. wins over the Packers and Bucs. Falcons with 11 TDs of 20+ yards leads the league. Take the intruder here. |

11-13-16 | Rams v. Jets -1 | 9-6 | Loss | -105 | 26 h 41 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Power Pack winner is on the NY Jets The Rams are last in scoring and Todd Gurley is averaging a tick over 3.0 per carry coming West to East and facing a Gang Green front seven that allows just 3.3 ypc on the ground. The Jets are 3-6 thanks to poor QB play and a rotten secondary but doubt Case Keenum or Jared Goff can exploit this deficiency. Still, like Flyboys at home and whether it is Fitzmagic or Bryce Petty, still can do enough to work out a 7-10 point win. Jets would be on a three game win streak if not for 100 yard kickoff return in the final six minutes at Miami last week. J-E-T-S .... Jets, Jets, Jets. |

11-13-16 | Texans v. Jaguars UNDER 42 | 24-21 | Loss | -102 | 26 h 39 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Power Pack winner is on the Titans/Jags Under The Texans have scored 22 points in their three road games to this point averaging just 256 yards of total offense away from Reliant Stadium. They face a Jag team that handcuffed Kansas City last week but was done in by turnovers. Jacksonville a notorious slow starter and face a good Texan defense off its bye and fresh. Just see a lot of play between the 20s here with neither team finding paydirt. Play the Under. |

DMack will be on San Diego State This is just a matchup play as the SDSU No.7 ranked rush attack (274 ypg) faces Nevada's No. 127 ranked (280 ypg) rush defense. On the other side of the football, 83-88=99 overall ranked offense little in the way of competing against the Aztec's 16-2 No.4 ranked total defense. Four-year starter Pumphrey closing in on the all-time NCAAF rushing record and he'll like to play catch up after taking off the pads for the second half in last week's spanking of Hawaii. Rocky Long can coach and he'll be showcasing his team here. San Diego State. |

DMack's College Football Dog Bite is on the Colorado State Rams Spot, line and current form all says Colorado State. The Flyboys have covered one of their last five and in a let down spot after securing the Commander-and-Chief Trophy from Army last week. The Rams have won three of four (loss at Boise) and are 3-0 as a road dog this year. Colo State offense hitting on all cylinders with the return of former starter Stevens and Rams get Bowl eligible with a straight win here and fifth straight cover. |

DMack will be on Appalachian State App State's two losses this year both came on the road at Tennessee (a game the Mounties should have won) and at Miami, Florida. The Mounties have been perfect ever since and look for that roll to continue tonight as App State puts knocks Troy out of the the Sunbelt Championship buzz. |

11-12-16 | Texas-San Antonio v. Louisiana Tech -21.5 | 35-63 | Win | 100 | 18 h 1 m | Show | |
DMack's Power Pack winner is on the La Tech Bulldogs La Tech has been good to us as a go to team. Sure USTA has been great as a double-digit dog but the Bulldogs have been even better winning abd covering their L5 and averaging 52 ppg. to boot. Tech plays for the 11th straight week but has a bye coming up and with QB Higgins (30 TDs) not making mistakes, Bulldogs roll here. |

11-12-16 | New Mexico State v. Arkansas State -18.5 | 22-41 | Win | 100 | 63 h 35 m | Show | |
DMack will be on Arkansas State Arkansas State started 0-4 but has won and covered four straight to get back in the SBC race. The Red Wolves have a game key game next week vs. Troy but the game is moot of both teams don't win today. New Mexico State is 0-5 on the road losing by a margin of 32 ppg. The Aggies are 0-2 on the SBC road having gotten by a whopping 39 ppg. Ark State is 5-0 ATS in the series while Aggies are just 6-14 L20 as a road dog. ASU rolls in its home finale. |

11-12-16 | Northwestern -13.5 v. Purdue | 45-17 | Win | 100 | 60 h 46 m | Show | |
DMack's Big Ten Game of the Year is on the Northwestern Wildcats The Boilers fired HC Hazell mid-season and his assistants have stayed on in the interim knowing they would be out of jobs at the end of the season. Purdue gives up a conference high 44 ppg and a whopping 6.6 ypp. They'v also been outscored 83-10 in the second half of their last three games, in short the team has quit as well. Northwestern is still looking to get Bowl eligible so this is a must win. The Wildcat offense was purring before understandably being slowed down at Ohio State and Wisky. The Cats are 3-0 on the Big Ten road and covered those three game by and average of over 21 points. DMack's Big Ten Game of the Year is on the Northwestern Wildcats. |

11-11-16 | Boston College v. Florida State -21 | 7-45 | Win | 100 | 33 h 39 m | Show | |
DMack's Friday Night Lights Out winner is on Florida State Boston College's 15th ranked defense is one of the bigger phoney baloneys in college football. This is a stop unit that was smoked by Clemson, Va Tech and Louisville plus Syracuse basically did whatever it wanted. Last year's game at Chestnut Hill was 7-0 FSU before a scoop and score made it 14-0 final in the last three minutes. Dalvin Cook was held to just 54 yards but all that gets remedied tonight in an old fashioned Seminole beat down. Call it 46-10 Florida State. |

11-10-16 | Browns v. Ravens OVER 45 | 7-28 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 34 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Thursday Night Thunder is on the Browns/Ravens over The Browns are winless, 2-15 L17 in the series and AFC North division dogs are 0-4 BUT ... still no interest in laying points with the Ravns who have just four offensive touchdowns in their last four games and are 1-6-1 L8 as a home favorite. The Browns led Balt 20-0 early in the first game in Cleveland before finally dropping a 25-20 decision. The Browns always seemingly get theirs despite last week because the offense could never get on the field. If there is a cure for what ails the Raven offense it's a Brown's defense that has given up 610 rushing yards the last three weeks. Lat year's game here ended 33-30 and we're looking for a similar result here. Play the over. |

11-10-16 | North Carolina -10 v. Duke | 27-28 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 31 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAF ACC GAME OF THE MONTH is on the North Carolina Tar Heels This is a form play on UNC as the Tar Heels are 4-0 on the road this year with wins at Florida State and Miami. Duke is 16-5 L21 as a home dog but Larry Fedora and Carolina have taken great pleasure in waxing the Blue Devils the last two years 66-31 and 45-20. Heel QB Trubisky is flying up NFL draft boards and has a 19-0 TD/Int ratio in his L5 game not played during Hurricane Mathew. Fedora will look to show off his wares in front of a National TV audience vs. a riival who is yet to win and ACC conference game. Lay it. |

11-08-16 | Western Michigan -21 v. Kent State | Top | 37-21 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 17 m | Show |
DMack's Tuesday Night NCAAF MAC Super Play is is on the Western Michigan Broncos Unbeaten Western controls it's own destiny and is in line for a January 1st "Big Six" Bowl if they simply take car of business and win out. The favorite has covered the last eight in the series and Kent won the last two games in the series by 17 and 18 points but these two have not met since 2013 so we can only go by what we have here on the field today. The Broncos have won their three conference road games by 39-41-32 points but face a hard trying Kent team that's last five games were decided by four points or less. That said, the toughest of the bunch was a home game against Ohio and not against another team with a pulse. Fleck has this team rolling and focused and in my opinion is the best of the MAC teams that have flirted with the big time like the Northern Illinois teams of 4-5 years ago. MAC home teams are 11-22 ATS this year, dogs are 5-9. Western Michigan 45-13. |

11-07-16 | Bills v. Seahawks -6.5 | 25-31 | Loss | -115 | 78 h 60 m | Show | |
DMack's Monday Night Magic is on the Seattle Seahawks The Hawks go the way Russell Wilson goes and at the moment hes somewhat gimpy. When he's mobile, he's tough to beat. 20 points would seem to be the target for the Seahawks as the Bills are 0-3 when they allow 20+ ppg, 4-1 when they don't. Seattle is 23-13 in its L36 as a home favorite and stomped Buffalo 50-17 the last time they were in town. Trend players take not that Buffalo is just 2-14 in its L16 in the game before their bye. A late Buff scores puts late some window dressing on a 10-point Seahawk win. |

11-06-16 | Broncos +2 v. Raiders | 20-30 | Loss | -109 | 78 h 2 m | Show | |
DMack's Sunday Night Super Play is on the Denver Broncos Sure it's a nice story that the Raiders are 6-2 but this game looks eerily similar to when Kansas City came calling a couple of weeks ago. Denver still have the big time defense and Crush Two has allowed just two touchdowns in their opponents last 25 drives. Denver has won nine of ten in the series including the last five here .... four of those wins were by 13+ points. Add to the mix that Denver is 7-1-2 in games where the line is +-3 under Kubiak and we think we have strong case of the road dog in what figures to be a great game. |

11-06-16 | Titans v. Chargers -4 | 35-43 | Win | 100 | 31 h 36 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner on San Diego Tennessee has had three extra days to prepare for this one after their Thursday night demolition of the Jags. That said, the Titans have lost nine of ten in the series and AFC non-divisional road dogs are just 4-7 ATS. Bolts are a luke warm 10-7 in L17 as a non-divisional home fave. Interesting side note here is that San Diego's OC is Ken Wisenhut who was fired after going 3-20 in his short time at the helm of Tennessee. He'll most certainly have something in store for his old team. San Diego by 13. |

11-06-16 | Colts v. Packers OVER 54.5 | 31-26 | Win | 100 | 31 h 34 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner on Colts/Packers Over Neither team runs the ball much so we're basically looking at Luck and Rodgers going mano-a-mano and throwing 100 passes. Aaron Rodgers took half the year to find his rhythm but has into form with Eddie Lacy out. The Over is 6-2 in Indy games this year and Luck may have to go up in catch up mode. Pack averages 28.4 ppg if they turn the ball over less than three times and the last six meeting between these two has averaged 62 and change per game. |
|||||||
11-06-16 | Cowboys v. Browns OVER 48.5 | 35-10 | Loss | -110 | 71 h 54 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Total of the Week is on the Cowboys/Browns Over We've been on the Browns over several times since Cleveland started their current 6-1 run to the Over. There is nothing wrong with the Brownie offense which is top three in the league in yards per play average. The defense is another matter all together and hallowed better than 193 per the ground last three and faces poke attack that has run the ball for 180+ L3. Zeke returns back to Ohio and has a big game as Cowboys roll heading into their bye. Dallas does most of the heavy lifting getting 35+ of this themselves. Play the Over. |
|||||||
11-06-16 | Jaguars v. Chiefs -7 | 14-19 | Loss | -115 | 71 h 41 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner on Kansas City Have absolutely no problem laying it here with the Chief's at Arrowhead. In the Jags three true road games this year, they lost by 14 and 24 and inexplicably beat the Bears in a game they trailed 13-0 with eight minutes to play. The Chiefs have been smoking since their bye winning by 16-6-16 in three games. Although the teams last met in 2013, Kansas City has won the last two series games by 20+ points. Take the Chiefs. |
|||||||
11-05-16 | Nevada v. New Mexico -14.5 | 26-35 | Loss | -108 | 55 h 7 m | Show | |
DMack's Late Show Bailout is on the New Mexico Lobos With college hoop around the corner and Reno with Musselman is a real PLAYA, doubt anyone even knows or cares that the Wolf Pack are playing tonight. Nevada has some things going for them like a 5-1 ATS run out of a bye and the Lobos record of 0-6 as a home favorite of -6 or more under Davie. The Pack is also just 1-7 ATS themselves this year and this what they don't have going for them. They're on the road where they are 0-4 ATS and are No.125 in the nation stopping the run. How bad are they ??? FCS Cal Poly (a nice program) smoked them for 383 yards. The Lobos average 357 yards (6.8 per cary) with their veer option and need one win to become Bowl eligible for the second year in a row. Heady stuff when you consider Davie took over a winless program four years ago. At the end of the day, Nevada rushes for less than half of their opponent and is just No.91 throwing the Ball. New Mexico 43-17. |

11-05-16 | Utah State v. Wyoming -4.5 | 28-52 | Win | 100 | 31 h 50 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Winner is on the Wyoming Cowboys Utah State's season is slowly circling the Bowl and doesn't figure to improve much here. The Aggies have lost four of five and are winless on the road. State can't stop the run and face a Cowboy outfit that rushes for 266 per game featuring stud back Hill (1156 yards). Wyoming won't be flat after Boise win based on Utah State running it up on them in Logan last year. Wyoming 37-16. |

11-05-16 | East Carolina v. Tulsa -9.5 | 24-45 | Win | 100 | 29 h 37 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Winner is on the Tulsa Golden Hurricane Tulsa is playing it's best football of the year and needs to win to remain a playa in the AAC West. The Golden Hurricane is just starting to run the ball with some regularity with RB Flanders (400+, 7 TDs L2) which has opened things up for QB Evans who is taking care of the ball. Cane can also get a six-game series monkey off their back here facing a down ECU team that is just 0-3-1 vs. the points on the road this year. |

11-05-16 | Louisiana Tech -20 v. North Texas | 45-24 | Win | 100 | 50 h 35 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Winner is on the Louisiana Tech Banking on a mismatch here in that the Mean Green do not defend what the Bulldogs do well La Tech second in the nation in passing averaging 376 ypg. on 9.7 ypp and with 26/5 TD/INT ratio. North Texas has eight picks and four came against Army who passes less than 10% of the time. North Texas has decent trend numbers in this spot by La Tech has been making a living mauling CUSA underlings since Skip Holtz came to town. Lay the points. |

11-05-16 | Louisville -24.5 v. Boston College | 52-7 | Win | 100 | 46 h 40 m | Show | |
DMack's College Football Can of Whup Ass is on the Louisville Cardinals I have absolutely no problem laying these points with the nation's No.2 ranked offense, No.10 ranked defense and with a team and quarterback desperately needing styles points for the post season. The Boston College defense is phoney as a three-dollar bill and if you've been with me for a while know that we played big against this team against Syracuse where their points came on a pick six, a 98-yard kick return and another on a short field courtesy of bad Orange turnover. Louisville will be in the mix for the playoffs if they handle business and not like they played against Duke. Lamar Jackson for Heisman needs more buzz too. Louisville 56-14. |

11-05-16 | Navy +7 v. Notre Dame | 28-27 | Win | 100 | 44 h 60 m | Show | |
DMack's Navy vs. Notre Dame Money Brunch (Jacksonville) Notre Dame hasn't covered B2B games since mid-Oct of 2015 ad the Middies have not lost B2B straight up games since early-Oct 2014 so something has to give here. Navy made some key mistakes including a turnover against South Florida in last effectively taking them out of the game. The team never quit though and stormed back for an improbable cover. Navy will get their points against a Notre Dame defense that has been awful all year. The Irish are off a bye to work on the option as they have Army on deck. Don't give ND stop unit any props for holding Miami to 314 yards. Three fat guys and a poodle could have held Kaaya and the terrible Cane offense to 308. Kizer could have some success in the air but Navy 45 ppg. L3) WILL get theirs and mistake free clean sheet could see the Middies snap an five-game series losing streak ... yes ... straight up. |

11-04-16 | San Jose State v. Boise State -29 | 31-45 | Loss | -108 | 46 h 8 m | Show | |
DMack's Friday Night Lights Super Play is on the Boise State Broncos Very simple analysis here, playing favorites like this on a consistent basis is a sure fire ticket to the poor house BUT .... after losing at Wyoming last week and costing themselves a big money Bowl game, I just think the Broncos are going to kick the crap out of someone and San Jose State just happens to be the unfortunate recipient. Boise is just 6-11 as a HF under Harsin which includes 0-4 this year. That said, the Broncos are 9-3 ATS in their L12 following a straight up loss and have won 11 straight in the series by an average of 31+ points per game. The Spartans never show up on the road where they are 2-12 ATS L14 as a road mutt. Looking for an effort like we saw from Broncs in revenge game vs. New Mexico. Boise 56-13. |

11-03-16 | Falcons v. Bucs OVER 50.5 | 43-28 | Win | 100 | 22 h 26 m | Show | |
DMack's Thursday Night Thunder is on the Bucs/Falcons Over Tampa Bay won the first round of this home-and-home taking a 31-24 decision in Atlanta Week I. No real brain science here. Prefer not to mess with the side as the dog is 20-3 in all Falcon games since Quinn took over for Mike Smith. The dog is 4-0 in NFC South divisional games and the Falcons 4-0 ATS on the road but all as dogs. No qualms about the defense of which there is little. In fact, these are the No.25 and No.26 defenses in the league, Dirty Birds are 7-1 over and Famous Jameis and the Boys had three TD plays of 23+ yards the first time around and AVERAGED better than 8.7 yards per pass PLAY! This one finishes on the North side of 60 ... play the Over. |
