12-06-19 | Oregon v. Utah -6.5 | 37-15 | Loss | -105 | 81 h 19 m | Show | |
DMack's Pac12 Championship Game Super Play is the Utah Utes Utah has won and covered eight straight after losing to USC without having the services of stud RB Zack Moss (1240, 6.5, 15 TDs) for most the game. The Utes were No.25 in total offense, No.18 in scoring offense, and No.2 overall in FBS total defense. QB Tyler Huntley is completing 75% of his passes with a 16-2 TD/Int ratio and the Utes did beat Oregon last year with bith Huntley and Moss injured. The Quack Attack never really got over opening loss at Auburn and struggled down the stretch with surprise loss to Arizona State and a ho-hum effort versus a game Oregon State in the Civil War. With the much more sexy Oklahoma on deck for Saturday, Utah has to win and look good doing it so as not to leave things up the judges … errrr Committee. Utah 34-13. |

12-05-19 | Cowboys -2.5 v. Bears | 24-31 | Loss | -114 | 58 h 38 m | Show | |
DMack's Thursday Night Thunder is on the Dallas Cowboys The Cowboys simply need to get back to basics which they will … starting tonight! At 4.5 ypr. and better than 8.0 yards per pass attempt, Dallas is still top three offensive club. Trubisky has won a couple of games versus the Giants and the (life and death) over the freefalling Lions with a third-string quarterback. This is the benchmark game of the season for Jason Garrett and the Star and start to finish you can expect a heavy dose of Zeke (30 carries ???) body blows and ball control offense. The teams have not met since 2016 so history is meaningless (Pokes won last two by 13 and 14) and what we see is what we get. Dallas 28-10. |
|||||||
12-02-19 | Vikings v. Seahawks -2.5 | 30-37 | Win | 100 | 95 h 29 m | Show | |
DMack's Minnesota/Seattle Monday Night Mayhem winner is the Seattle Seahawks A couple of weeks ago, we wrote that the Vikings and Kirk Cousins NEVER win these type of games in a stand alone game versus Dallas. Cousins made us eat our words and our tickets but the fact is that Cousins and the Vikings DO NOT win these type of games and the win over Dallas seems less and less impressive. The Vikes are off a late bye and they are 2-7 ATS L9 with extra rest and still just 5-11 L16 as a road dog. The Seahawks are rolling, especially on defense where they've allowed just two TDs the last two weeks, one in garbage time last week against Philly. Russell Wilson was far and away the first half MVP and forget about the Hawks 1-4 run as a home favorite, it's just the result of paying big tax in games against the doormats that visit the space needle. Plenty of value here. |
|||||||
12-01-19 | Raiders v. Chiefs -10 | 9-40 | Win | 100 | 28 h 54 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Week 13 Game of the Week winner is the Kansas City Chiefs Any thoughts of the Raiders somehow winning the AFC West will be put to bed here with a Kansas City crush-shot win here. It's very hard to find any reason to back the Raiders here as they are 2-11 SU L13 in the series, 2-6 ATS L8 in the series overall. Further, the Raiders are 4-10 L14 as a road dog after getting spanked by the Jets last week. They've lost six straight visits to Arrowhead Stadium (1-5 ATS) and the Chiefs beat them 28-10 in Oakland early with Mahomes throwing for 413 yards and four (two long ones called back for penalties) TDs. The Raiders are 0-5 when they score less than 27 points and face a Chief team here that is 4-1 SU and ATS L5 post-bye games (Andy Reid 17-3 straight up of a bye in long career) and has had time to get healthy, sure up defense, and clear it's head after going 3-4 L7 after Mahomes injury off 4-0 start. Kansas City 45-17. |
|||||||
12-01-19 | Jets -3 v. Bengals | 6-22 | Loss | -100 | 25 h 34 m | Show | |
DMack NFL Power Pack Winner is on the New York Jets The Jets have won three straight, scoring 34 points in all three of those wins. The Bengals have already given up on their Ryan Finley experiment and bring Andy Dalton back to an offense that has scored 17 or less in six straight games. The Bengals are 0-5 at home this year with three double-digit losses and just 3-12 in their L15 games as a home dog. Gang Green helps over the Bengals quest for next year's No.1 overall pick with a 38-17 win. |
|||||||
12-01-19 | Titans +1.5 v. Colts | 31-17 | Win | 100 | 24 h 27 m | Show | |
DMack NFL Power Pack Winner is on the Tennessee Titans The Colts won Round One 19-17 but that was all the way back in Week II when Mariota was still calling the shots for the Titans. Tennessee is rolling behind Ryan Tannehill who is 4-1 since taking over and who has given this team belief that they can win. Tennessee with 77 points the last two games scoring 10 touchdowns in its L21 drives. The Colts are hit and miss and battling injuries to key personnel as well. Titans by a touchdown. |
|||||||
12-01-19 | 49ers v. Ravens OVER 45.5 | 17-20 | Loss | -100 | 24 h 19 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Week 13 Total of the Week is on the 49ers/Ravens Over In less than a month, we've seen that a Lamar Jackson clone (Kyler Murray) can do basically what he wants against the 49ers defense. With all due respects to Kyler, he doesn't do it nearly as well as Lamar Jackson does. The Ravens have averaged 43 ppg. in four games since their bye and have rushed for 488 in their last two. Jimmy G showed last week versus the Rams that he has more than enough weapons to trade points in what figures to be a shootout start to finish. Would not be shocked to see both teams get 30. |
|||||||
12-01-19 | Redskins v. Panthers -10 | 29-21 | Loss | -100 | 24 h 15 m | Show | |
DMack NFL Power Pack Winner is on the Carolina Panthers Thoughts here that this game is ultimately the one to determine whether or not Rivera will keep his job. Tough to lay double-digits with a team that has lost three straight while allowing 87 points but the Panthers should enjoy a huge drop in class here. The Skins have two offensive touchdowns in their L46 drives and won last week over the Lions scoring on a punt return. Carolina can pay some defense and the offense can showcase McCaffrey here, the Panthers are 4-1 when they score 30+ points though they probably won't need that here. This is a revenge game as well for the Panthers who saw five-game series win streak topped with a 23-17 Skin victory last year. Carolina 30-6. |
|||||||
12-01-19 | Army +3 v. Hawaii | 31-52 | Loss | -115 | 50 h 53 m | Show | |
DMack's Saturday Late Show Bail Out is on the Army Cadets Hawaii is going the MWC championship game at/vs. Boise next week might not be all that interested here. The Warriors have struggled to score points using both their QBs. The UH offense may not be on the field much is Army gets the option going and has the same success that Air Force did. The Cadets are also playing for their bowl lives so all the urgency sits with a focused and disciplined road team. Hawaii just 5-11 as a home fave under Rolovich. Army wins straight up. |
|||||||
11-30-19 | BYU v. San Diego State UNDER 40 | 3-13 | Win | 100 | 47 h 40 m | Show | |
DMack's College Football Total of the Week is on BYU/San Diego State Under San Diego State lost a spot in the MWC Championship game by missing a FG in the seconds that would have sent their game with Hawaii to OT. The Aztec defense is nails but the offense can basically run the ball with one dangerous back and is No.119 in scoring offense at a ticket better than 19 per. BYU has won five straight and allowed just 282 yards of total offense to its last two opponents, UMass and Idaho State. SDSU is a huge step up but not offensively. Both teams figure to try and establish the run with means a running clock and lots of play between the 20s. This one has 16-13, 21-17 20-16 written all over it .... play the Under. |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Notre Dame -16 v. Stanford | 45-24 | Win | 100 | 41 h 15 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Saturday Turkey Shoot winner is the Notre Dame Fighting Irish Stanford has been decimated by injuries all year and this final game against the Irish is merely a formality. The Tree led to the 4th quarter against Cal in "The Game" before getting that 9-game series win streak snapped. Cards won't be bowling either so this is sayonara for 2019. The Irish outgained Stanford 550-229 last year in a 38-19 win and Irish QB Book is white-hot with a 8-0 TD/Int ratio over his last two games. Notre Dame not adverse to tacking on style points for stronger bowl consideration. |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Vanderbilt v. Tennessee -21 | 10-28 | Loss | -110 | 38 h 24 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Saturday Turkey Shoot winner is the Tennessee Volunteers Vandy is now 1-10 ATS in their L11 games versus FBS opponents and just announced this week that they will be retaining their coach in 2020. The Vols will be locked and loaded here after losing three straight to the Commodores including a 38-13 spanking last year the kept the Vols from becoming bowl eligible. UT has won four straight and covered 6 of 7, competitive in almost every SEC game. Don't expect Tennessee to take their foot of the pedal either. |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Wisconsin -2.5 v. Minnesota | 38-17 | Win | 100 | 41 h 15 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Saturday Turkey Shoot winner is the Wisconsin Badgers Wisconsin is 12-4 L16 as a road favorite and averaging 341 rushing yards per game since the Ohio State loss. This is a revenge game for the Badgers who had won 14 straight in the series before getting waxed 37-15 in Ft. Madison last year. Wisky will be out to make amends for that ugly loss and there is not much Minnesota can do about it. |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Texas State v. Coastal Carolina -7 | 21-24 | Loss | -110 | 48 h 25 m | Show | |
DMack Saturday Early Release on the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers Appalachian State gave Texas State permission to hang around a half last week. The truth is that the Wildcats are absolutely terrible and bottom five FBS in offense points scored and allowed. Coastal Carolina is not much but the Chants play hard every week and they do some nice things on offense and have scored more than 140 points more than Texas State. |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Clemson -27 v. South Carolina | 38-3 | Win | 100 | 37 h 17 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Saturday Turkey Shoot winner is the Clemson Tigers There's not much to say here as Clemson can name the score. The Tigers have won the L5 in the series by 23 ppg. but will be more inclined to run it up here in the case that style points do come in to play on Selection Saturday. Last year, the Gamecocks (+26) got in the backdoor 56-35 but will not be as fortunate this year. |
|||||||
11-29-19 | Appalachian State -12 v. Troy | 48-13 | Win | 100 | 51 h 48 m | Show | |
DMack Friday Early Release on Appalachian State Lets not forget that App State still has a chance at a January 1st bowl games. It's remote but … there is a shot and after a ho hum performance against Texas State last week where the Mounties sleepwalked through the first half and did whatever it wanted in the second. Troy was spanked 55-3 last week and really appears to have quit. Two back App State dropped a 66-burger versus similar team and in a similar spot. Putting App State on 50-something so if Troy gets 40 (and they won't), we'll just take our medicine. |
|||||||
11-29-19 | Washington State +8 v. Washington | 13-31 | Loss | -107 | 48 h 18 m | Show | |
DMack Friday Early Release on Washington State Washington State seems to have found its mojo by scoring 103 points in its last two wins to break out of a 1-5 skid. The Coogs have lost six straight in the series but are 17-6-1 over L24 as a road dog and could be primed to strike. Washington has had a nightmare of a year, losing three of its L4, all three by six points or less. The Huskies have dropped their last two home games albeit to Utah and Oregon but they are also just 3-6 ATS L9 as a home favorite and have little to play for here as bowls go. Washington State keeps this one close or wins straight up. |
|||||||
11-29-19 | Iowa -5 v. Nebraska | 27-24 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 60 m | Show | |
DMack's College Football Game of the Year is on the Iowa Hawkeyes The Hawkeyes are 14 points from being unbeaten with losses to Michigan, Penn State, and Wisconsin. The key piece missing for Iowa is a quarterback and though Stanley has got some buzz about playing on Sunday, he is incapable of making a play. So why use Iowa here ??? Because he is a reasonable game manager, doesn't make many mistakes, hands the ball off well enough and has nothing to do with the Hawkeyes formidable defense.. Iowa has won 4 of 5 with a two-point loss to Wisconsin mixed in and the Tiger Hawk was plus turnovers in all five games. Iowa is 16-3-1 L20 as a road favorite which is almost unheard of and has won their last three visits to Lincoln by 42-8-21 points. Further, the Iowa power rushing game has shredded the Huskers for 283 ypg. in the last three meetings. Nebraska quit weeks ago and has lost 4 of 5. The Huskers are just 1-6 L7 as a home dog and you can count on Scott Frost to clean house to greatest extent possible as his job to revive this failing program has been much tougher than anticipated. Iowa batters the Blackshirts unmercifully for 40 minutes and the Hawkeyes win 34-10. |
|||||||
11-29-19 | Missouri -12.5 v. Arkansas | Top | 24-14 | Loss | -109 | 18 h 42 m | Show |
Mack Attack Friday Turkey Super Play is on the Missouri Tigers You probably won't find a more Jeckyl and Hyde team than Missouri. The Tigers have lost five straight but can get bowl eligible here with a win. Mizzou crushed West Virginia and South Carolina earlier in the year and played Florida and Georgia tough during this recent skid. They also lost to Vanderbilt and blew a 17-point lead at Wyoming but overall the team can play. Last year the Tigers led Arkansas 28-0 at the half before cruising to a 38-0 win. Arkansas gave its all last week against LSU but at the end of the day, the Razorback are 107th in scoring offense and 126th in scoring defense. Another consideration is rumors of Missouri coach Odoms being on the hot-seat and with three straight up losses as a DDF this year, nothing less than a kill shot will be good for his job security. |

11-29-19 | Virginia Tech -2.5 v. Virginia | 30-39 | Loss | -110 | 44 h 16 m | Show | |
DMack Friday Early Release on Virginia Tech Fuentes breathing a sigh of relief as the Hokies have come alive at just the right time averaging 36 ppg. L3 while shutting out Pitt and Georgia Tech in last two in long-time DC Bud Foster's swan song. Bronco Mendenhall has done a nice job with the Cavaliers but Virginia has dropped 15 straight in the series and is 0-3 when it doesn't score 28 points. Not likely here. |
|||||||
11-28-19 | Saints v. Falcons OVER 48.5 | 26-18 | Loss | -101 | 33 h 48 m | Show | |
DMack's Saints/Falcons Game Three Turkey Shoot Trifecta winner is the OVER The Saints are 8-1 L9 with the loss coming out of their bye, a 26-9 loss to these same Falcons just three weeks ago in a game that saw Drew Brees sacked six times and the Saints held without a touchdown. The Whodat offense has rolled in two games since and figure to be in a foul mood and looking to make a amends for that awful early November performance. Falcons off a stinker after two straight wins should be fairly confident here and generally move the ball on New Orleans. Putting the Saints on 30-35 points here, the Falcons won't have to do much of the heavy lifting. |
|||||||
11-28-19 | Ole Miss +2.5 v. Mississippi State | 20-21 | Win | 100 | 30 h 51 m | Show | |
DMack's Ole Miss/Miss State Egg Bowl Special winner is on Ole Miss These are two teams headed in opposite directions, at least the way we keep score. Miss State is just 1-6 in it's 7 SEC games while Ole Miss has covered 6 of it's L7 games. The Rebels have a big time offense behind Plumlee and are off B2B games of 600+ yards total offense and that includes vs. LSU. The Rebs should be able to do plenty of business against this watered down version of the Landsharks. Home field has meant nothing of late in this series with the visitor winning the L4 straight up. Ole Miss 37-30. |
|||||||
11-28-19 | Bills +7 v. Cowboys | 26-15 | Win | 100 | 29 h 19 m | Show | |
DMack's Bills/Cowboys Game Two Turkey Shoot Trifecta winner is on the Buffalo Bills The Bills don't get much respect despite taking care of their business for the most part. Josh Allen is a work in progress and making great strides in protecting the football which is paramount with teams that don't score much but play solid defense. The Bills are 7-0 when they score 17 or more points and 1-3 when they don't. They'll face a Dallas team that is 0-4 straight up against winning records and just 4-11-1 ATS on Thanksgiving the L16 years. Lots of tension in Dallas these days. Certain the Pokes will be happy to just go home with a win rather than win by margin. Take the full touchdown with the always improving Bills. |
|||||||
11-28-19 | Bears -3 v. Lions | 24-20 | Win | 100 | 25 h 23 m | Show | |
DMack's Bears/Lions Game One Turkey Shoot Trifecta winner is the Chicago Bears Spot seems to favor the Bears who finally showed something against the Giants. The favorite has won the last five in the series including a 20-13 Chitown (-6.5) win three weeks ago. The Lions are just 7-16-1 in their L24 as a home dog and struggling at QB with Stafford and Driskell both dinged. The Bears are 5-0 when they hold opponents to 15 points or less, 0-6 when they don't. The Lions have scored 15+ in 9 of their 11 games but one of the two times they didn't, was against the Bears. At the end of the day, thinking that Trubisky can run around enough to make a couple of plays while the defense steps up. Bears by 7. |
|||||||
11-26-19 | Western Michigan -8.5 v. Northern Illinois | 14-17 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
DMack's Tuesday Night MAC Attack winner is the Western Michigan Broncos This has been a home side dominated series but will lay the wood here with the rampaging Broncos who are playing their best ball when it counts. Northern Illinois is playing out the string and has allowed 40+ and 500 yards in their L3 games. Western Michigan rocks the MAC's No.1 offense and has averaged better than 40+ in winning its L3 games. Further, the Broncos are No.2 in the conference on defense in points allowed which is most important to us. It's taken a while but legacy HC Lester has slowly but surely gotten this Bronco program back on the right track, the same track it was on at the start of the decade under now Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck. Western Michigan 45-24. |
|||||||
11-25-19 | Ravens -3 v. Rams | 45-6 | Win | 100 | 71 h 46 m | Show | |
DMack NFL Monday Night Mayhem winner is on the Baltimore Ravens Here's what we have. The Ravens have won six straight, covered their L4, and have scored 127 points (42.3 per) in three games out of the break. Lamar Jackson has engineered 14 touchdowns in the Ravens L25 drives. The Rams started three rookie OL in their shaky 17-7 win over the Bears. The Ram defense has played well to put their finger in the dike but have not faced the white hot juggernaut they'll see here. Rams will be hands and knees to make the playoffs in their current state. |
|||||||
11-24-19 | Packers +3.5 v. 49ers | 8-37 | Loss | -115 | 54 h 23 m | Show | |
DMack's Sunday Night NFL Book Slap winner is the Green Bay Packers The 49ers have done it with smoke and mirrors and face their toughest task to date in the Packers. Green Bay has won 5 of 6 overall and were embarrassed in their last roadie versus the Chargers. Rodgers grew up 150 miles from here so this is a homecoming of sorts, the Packers haven't committed a turnover in four games. Frisco just 6-14 L20 as a home favorite. Sure this is not the same team but the defense has shown chinks in the armor allowing 26-per their L3 games that includes two with Arizona. Here they deal with the Master getting three and a hook. Green Bay straight up. |
|||||||
11-24-19 | Cowboys v. Patriots -6 | 9-13 | Loss | -100 | 37 h 28 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Week 12 Power Pack winner is on the New England Patriots Despite their many injuries, this just might be the week that Brady gets the Pat offense on track. The Pats are 4-0 at home winning by an average of 31-11 good for 3-1 ATS. The Hoodie is 23-9-2 L34 as a home favorite and 19-8 L27 versus the NFC. Dallas has won 3 of 4 but is yet to face a defense (has held 9 of 10 opponents to 14 or less) like this. New England ??? Beat 'em. |
|||||||
11-24-19 | Jaguars v. Titans -3.5 | 20-42 | Win | 100 | 30 h 57 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Week 12 Power Pack winner is on the Tennessee Titans Both teams with different QBs than the ones that played in Week 3 21-7 Jacksonville win. Mariotta was sacked 9 times in that game and that won't happen with Tannehill who has completely changed the psyche of the Titans who now KNOW they can win. Off a bye, rested, prepared and at home Tennessee might just sneak up on people in the wide open AFC South. Tennessee 28-13. |

11-24-19 | Seahawks +1.5 v. Eagles | 17-9 | Win | 100 | 40 h 56 m | Show | |
DMack's Week 12 NFL Game of the Week winner is on the Seattle Seahawks Eagle injuries continue to mount, especially on the offensive line. The Eagles scored just 3 points in 9 drives after dominating New England for almost all the first half. Not promising against a Seattle team that will get theirs with Russell Wilson and having Carson Wentz running for his life. The Hawks are 5-0 straight up on the road this year despite giving up 21+ per game. Wilson the clubhouse leader in the VIP race. |
|||||||
11-24-19 | Panthers v. Saints OVER 45.5 | 31-34 | Win | 100 | 27 h 55 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Week 12 Total of the Week winner is Panthers/Saints Over The Panthers are in complete freefall, dropping 3 of 4 after a positive start by their rookie Allen. The Panthers are just 16-66 L82 3rd downs and are -6 in takeaways. New Orleans is 6-1 SU and ATS L7 with the loss being their inexplicable debacle versus Atlanta on this field coming out of the by. The Saints will look to make amends here and have scored 31+ in 4 of their L6 games. Brees number always 20-30 better in the Dome. The Panthers can do some things and have McCaffery who is having a big season. Allen has thrown 8 picks in his last couple, the Saints could get 40 themselves. This looks to be a shootout and in fact the last five series games on this field have all flown over. |
|||||||
11-24-19 | Broncos v. Bills -3.5 | 3-20 | Win | 100 | 27 h 53 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Week 12 Power Pack winner is on the Buffalo Bills Not sure how Fangio can get these team up after blowing a 20-0 halftime lead last week. The Broncos have almost no offense yet have led in five of their L6 halftimes and that despite converting only 16 of 77 3rd downs. The Bills are 7-0 when they score 17 points, 0-3 when they don't. Buffalo has played in and won a number of close games so their ATS numbers are not all that gaudy but this is a solid well coached team that doesn't make many mistakes unless it's Josh Allen. Bill smell playoffs and win here by 7. |

11-23-19 | San Diego State +3 v. Hawaii | 11-14 | Push | 0 | 76 h 19 m | Show | |
DMack's San Diego State/Hawaii Saturday Bail Out Super Play is on San Diego State Huge game in the Mountain West as the winner will win the West and rep in the MWC championship game. SDSU is 6-1 SU and ATS L7 in the series with the loss coming last year when the Aztecs failed on two-point conversion in OT so this is also a huge revenge spot. SDSU HC Rocky Long has been a quality dog and 16-7 ATS on the MWC road since coming to the Aztecs. The Warriors have been Paradise ticket burner going 8-18 at home in all island games under Rolovich. San Diego State runs Hawaii into submission … straight up. |

11-23-19 | Oregon State +12 v. Washington State | 53-54 | Win | 100 | 107 h 54 m | Show | |
DMack Saturday NCAAF Week 13 Power Pack winner is on the Oregon State Beavers Can't recommend Wazzou as the Cougars have tanked since bizarre come from ahead loss to UCLA in October. Oregon State shows improvement every week and this one-time conference doormat has been competitive enough to allow the Beavers to go 7-2 L9 as a dog. OSU QB Luton rocks a sweet 23-2 TD/Int ratio and has been smart with the ball. Beavs another team going bowling with a win here. |

11-23-19 | Tennessee +4 v. Missouri | 24-20 | Win | 100 | 73 h 51 m | Show | |
DMack Saturday NCAAF Week 13 Power Pack winner is on the Tennessee Volunteers Two teams headed in completely different directions. Mizzou has lost four straight while getting nothing going on offense where they've scored just 13 points in L3. Tennessee got off to a tough start but has clawed back to one game to bowl eligibility which would be huge … their first since 2016. The Vols are off a bye, have won 3 straight, covered 5 straight, and are 5-2 as a dog under Pruitt. Tennessee straight up. |

11-23-19 | California +2 v. Stanford | 24-20 | Win | 100 | 20 h 34 m | Show | |
DMack Saturday NCAAF Week 13 Power Pack winner is on the Cal Bears This is the 122nd edition on the "Big Game" but this year's revival is going to mean a lot more to Cal who is 5-5 and needs a win to get an extra game. It's been a terrible injury plagued campaign for the Cardinal and David Shaw. Costello was ruled out early in the week so the Tree will be with their 2nd, 3rd, or 4th QB depending on who is healthy. Bear gunslinger Modster should be licking his chops watching tape of Stanford's No.119 ranked pass defense. Cal 34 Stanford 23. |

11-23-19 | Texas A&M v. Georgia UNDER 44.5 | 13-19 | Win | 100 | 18 h 50 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAF Total of the Week is Texas A&M/Georgia Under Jimbo Fischer has done a nice job at A&M, 7-3 with losses to Clemson, Alabama, and Auburn. No shame there but the Aggies are close but still a year or two away to compete on a regular basis with Bama, Georgia, LSU, and Auburn. Georgia doing it this year with all defense. The Bulldogs have given up 105 points in 10 games so 10.5 per game. The A&M stop unit is no slouch and the Bulldog offense has scored more than 27 points just once in seven games This one could be a first team to 20 wins type of SEC slobberknocker. |

11-23-19 | Western Kentucky +4 v. Southern Miss | 28-10 | Win | 100 | 19 h 54 m | Show | |
DMack Saturday NCAAF Week 13 Power Pack winner is on the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers Both teams fighting for division titles in CUSA. Both teams have pretty slick triggermen calling the shots but WKY rocks the nation's N0.14 pass defense while South Miss checks in at just No.93. Prefer to grab points in a game where teams trade points and taking the proven commodity that is 6-2 L8 as a dog. Actually like the Toppers to win straight up. |

DMack Saturday NCAAF Week 13 Power Pack winner is on the Appalachian State Mountaineers App State needs only to take care of business to take down the Sun Belt and the Mounties are also still in the running to get a January 1st big money Bowl game. Remember that this team beat both Power 5s it faced in North and South Carolina. Texas State has one ATS win all year and the Bobcat defense is so bad that App State might drop a 60-burger on them like they did on last week's SBC bottom feeder. |

11-23-19 | Boston College v. Notre Dame -20 | 7-40 | Win | 100 | 26 h 21 m | Show | |
DMack's College Football Week 13 early kickoff trifecta winner is the Notre Dame Fighting Irish Forget BC's recent ATS success against the Irish. They are one-trick pony that will hope they can establish the run with Dillon and shorten the game. That won't be easy and the Eagles will have all they can do to stop a suddenly red-hot Ian Book. Last week, the "sharps" bet Navy like they had the results from the Sunday paper and the Irish dropped 52 on the Middies. Same story here. |

11-23-19 | Central Florida -6 v. Tulane | 34-31 | Loss | -108 | 98 h 51 m | Show | |
DMack's College Football Week 13 early kickoff trifecta winner is the Central Florida Golden Knights UCF will be a bit salty after stewing a week on their bye off their upset loss to Tulsa. The Wave has lost 3 of 4 yet seems to be the "sexy" play here because of their 4-0 home record, the fact that UCF's three losses all came on the road, and that the Knight's struggled against the Houston option. UCF is much the best here and rolls. |

11-23-19 | Ball State -3 v. Kent State | 38-41 | Loss | -125 | 66 h 35 m | Show | |
DMack's College Football Week 13 early kickoff trifecta winner is the Ball State Cardinals Kent was never in their game last Thursday against Buffalo yet came from 27-6 down with 6 minutes left to win on a final play FG. That won't happen here against a smarter and better coached Ball State team that has pretty much beaten up Kent (21-7) for the past three decades. Ball led last year 35-17 at the half before cruising to a 52-24 win. Ball can still win the West but would need help. The Cards will at least do their part of the heavy lifting. Ball State 42-20. |

11-21-19 | Colts v. Texans OVER 45.5 | 17-20 | Loss | -109 | 14 h 2 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Thursday Night Thunder is on the Colts/Texans Over The teams met in Week 7 with the Colts winning 30-23 for their 5th win in six games in the series. Brissett threw for 326 yards and 4 TDs with the Colts converting 8 of 16 first downs and making the most of their four trips to the red zone, 27 points. The Texans were smoked by the Ravens last week, giving up 41 points but have won three of their L4 home games scoring 53 and 27 in their last two. These two division rivals are both 6-4 with the Colts owning the leg up by virtue of their earlier win. This one has shootout written all over it and we wouldn't be surprised with this one falling closer to 60 than 40. |

11-21-19 | NC State +1.5 v. Georgia Tech | 26-28 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 17 m | Show | |
DMack's NC State/Georgia Tech Thursday Night ACC Super Play is on the NC State Wolf Pack This one has turned out to be a real stinker. NC State has lost four straight, allowing 179 points and worst of all, have put up little to no resistance. Georgia Tech is 2-8 overall and the Jackets have lost their L3 by a 98-38 aggregate. What to do ??? The new regime at Georgia Tech has thrown in the towel, preferring to play kids on both side of the ball and get their new system down as the stepping stone to next year. The Yellow Jackets will start 14 brand new freshman and sophs and a QB that threw for 81 yards last week and is completing just 48% of his passes for the year. The Wolf Pack have killed themselves with turnovers bit should be in business if they come to play here as they can still get bowl eligible with a win here and in their rivalry finale versus North Carolina. Reports have the Wolf Pack wanting to play and Doeren should have the team primed for it's best performance of the year. NC State by two touchdowns. |

11-20-19 | Akron v. Miami-OH -30.5 | 17-20 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 56 m | Show | |
DMack's Weds Night MAC Daddy is on the Miami Red Hawks Let me preface this play by saying that laying more than four touchdowns in a MAC conference game is not a long term recipe for success but in this case, it's warranted. Akron has not won OR COVERED a game this year. The 0-10 SU and ATS Zips are No.130 in Div-I in scoring, rushing the football, and turnover margin. Akron is No.123 in scoring defense allowing better than 36 ppg. and have lost their five road games by an average score of 42-12. Miami, Oh is the best MAC team by the eye test and also on paper. The 6-4 Red Hawks have three non-conference losses to Iowa, Cincinnati and Ohio State and their lone conference loss cam early on at Western Michigan. Miami clinches the MAC East with a win here and comes off a 44-3 rout of an equally bad Bowling Green team in it's last so the Hawks can win by margin. Miami, Oh 51-10. |

11-19-19 | Ohio -20 v. Bowling Green | 66-24 | Win | 100 | 9 h 59 m | Show | |
DMack's Tuesday Night MAC Attack winner is the Ohio Bobcats Good news bad news for the Ohio Bobcats. The bad news is that Ohio lost its last two home games by a field goal and must now win out on the road to get bowl eligible for the 5th straight year. The good news is that the road games are short drives to Bowling Green and Akron so Frank Solich and Co. have no excuses. This is so much more a fade of Bowling Green than a recommendation on Ohio to win with suitcase by margin. The BGs are 2-9 ATS in their L11 home games period and rock an offense that hasn't surpassed 277 yards in three straight. The Falcons also cannot stop the run allowing better than 5.5 ypc., not good against a Cat offense that c0-features two pretty good backs in Tuggle and Allison. Ohio has won three straight in the series, posting 97 points in the last two. Ohio should be interested here and again … there are no excuses. |

11-18-19 | Chiefs -4 v. Chargers | 24-17 | Win | 100 | 10 h 45 m | Show | |
DMack's Chief/Chargers Week 11 Monday night Mayhem winner is the Kansas City Chiefs This is Kansas City's second scheduled trip to Mexico City. Las year, the field was deemed unplayable and the game was moved to the Los Angeles Coliseum and a year ago tomorrow, the Rams beat the Chiefs 54-51 in a Monday night semi-classic. Techs all favor the Bolts in this spot but just see more urgency with the Chiefs who have lost four of six and have their bye next week. Mahomes threw for 446 yards in his return last week versus the Titans and he's skewered the Chargers in the prior meetings of his young career. The Chief defense has been horrific but the offenses that give Kansas City problems are the ones with mobile quarterbacks. Philip Rivers is anything but mobile. This game is dependent on Kansas City's front seven. Mahomes will get his and you can figure on 30+ points. If Kansas City can keep Rivers in the pocket and get some type of pressure, Rivers will make mistakes ... he has all year! The Raider defense is not much better than Kansas City's and they gave Rivers fits last week. The Chief's are on a 15-5 ATS roll through the AFC West and we fully expect them to extend that here. Chiefs 41-27. |

DMack's Bears/Rams SNF Book Slap is on the UNDER Tonight's Sunday night football matchup features two struggling offenses that will not find relief here. The Rams offensive line has been decimated by injuries, have not run the ball all year, and Goff has had little to no time to throw. The Bears have converted just 11 of their L48 3rd downs and Chicago has been unable to move the ball all year under Trubisky. The Rams are on three straight unders, the Bears are on three straight unders and the team played last December, a 15-6 Bear win on a cold windy night. Points figure to be VERY tough to come by here. |

11-17-19 | Cardinals v. 49ers OVER 45 | 26-36 | Win | 100 | 94 h 47 m | Show | |
DMack Week 11 Total of the Week is on the 49ers/Cardinals Over The 49ers (-10) won 28-25 three weeks ago with the Cardinals connecting on a 92-yard pass in the final three minutes for the backdoor cover. The San Fran offense was comprised of a three second quarter touchdown flurry. That said, there was plenty of yardage and plenty of opportunities for points. Russell Wilson and Kyler Murray have blueprinted exactly what you need to do to solve 49er defense. These teams trade points throughout and this game flies over this posted total. |

11-17-19 | Falcons v. Panthers -4 | 29-3 | Loss | -110 | 35 h 55 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL 500* Game of the Week winner is the Carolina Panthers The Falcons unexpected win over the Saints last week did not come without a cost as half the Dirty Bird significant roster will miss here with injuries. Despite the Falcons win in the Super Dome, Atlanta is 1-4 ATS on the road this year and 2-9 L11 as a road dog. Strangely enough, this is November 17th and this is Atlanta's first outdoor game this season. BTW, the Falcons are also 2-10 ATS L12 on natural grass, Look for lots of McCaffrey here in a game the Panthers have to win in the crowded race for a wildcard. |

11-17-19 | Jets +2.5 v. Redskins | 34-17 | Win | 100 | 35 h 51 m | Show | |
DMack NFL Power Pack winner is on the New York Jets The Skins have lost three straight by a 52-18 and haven't scored an offensive touchdown in their L23 drives. Haskins makes his second career start but that might be more of a negative than a shot in the arm as the rook out of Ohio State has not shown he can play at this level in his limited opportunities. The Jets are 0-4 on the road with all four losses by 14+ points. Gang Green did do some good things against the Giants and have beaten the Cowboys this year. From a talent aspect, Jets are much the best and the better team getting points is always a good spot to be in. |

11-17-19 | Bills v. Dolphins +7 | 37-20 | Loss | -125 | 35 h 44 m | Show | |
DMack NFL Power Pack winner is on the Miami Dolphins Sometimes you just make your bet and hold your nose. This is one of those games. Buff (-17) beat the Dolphins 31-21 in Week 7 but remember that the Bills were down 14-9 at the half, outgained for the game by 76 yards, and ran an onside kick back for a touchdown in the final seconds. The Dolphins have won two straight and have led their last four games at the half so they are playing hard behind Fitzmagic. A kick decides this one either way. |

DMack NFL Power Pack winner is on the New Orleans Saints New Orleans ran into the Atlanta Falcons while they were having a "perfect storm", much like what happened to the Packers against San Diego. The Saints beat Tampa Bay 31-24 with Teddy Bridgewater but that final was deceiving in that they outgained the Bucs by 225 yards, converted 8-15 3rd downs, and gained a generous 9.6 yards-per-passing-ATTEMPT. Saints get back on track with an easy double-digit win. |

DMack NCAAF Power Pack winner is on the UCLA Bruins Wild possibilities here as it is UCLA that actually controls its fate in the Pac12 South. The Bruins have finally caught on to Chip Kelly's offensive scheme and the defense has inexplicably thrown the switch in the last three games as well. The host is just 1-6 ATS L7 in this series. The Utes will try and bully the Bruins in the trenches but not 21 points worth. Take 'em. |

DMack NCAAF Power Pack winner is on the Baylor Bears It's put up or shut time for the Bears who control there own destiny in this possible Big 12 championship game preview. Baylor is patient and deliberate of offense and does not turn the ball over. The defense is the best in the Big 12 and team is supremely coached by Matt Ruhl. For the techies out there ... team that undefeated and home home dogs after Week 10 and beyond are a gaudy 15-4-1 ATS. Won't call for Bears to win straight up but we will take the double-digit points. |

DMack NCAAF Game of the Week winner is on the Cincinnati Bearcats South Florida is 4-0 ATS the last four times it has hosted Cincinnati but recent history means nothing here as the Bulls are completely overmatched and the Bearcats are essentially off a bye (a 48-3 win over UConn) with bigger fish to fry down the road. Cincinnati still in line for one of the better Bowls. Cincinnati 45-17. |

DMack NCAAF Power Pack winner is on the Air Force Falcons Both teams had last week off. Air Force is on a 3-0 SU and ATS Mountain West run while Colorado State has salvaged its season with three straight wins after a 1-5 start. Road favorite has not been the best spot for the Falcons but this Flyboy outfit is the best in recent years, rushing for 377 per and facing a Ram stop unit giving up better than 178 per outing. Air Force has extra time to recover from physical war with Army and should prevail by margin in this regional rivalry. |

DMack's NCAAF Total of the Week is on the Memphis Tigers/Houston Cougars Over Memphis is 8-1, winning its last two games despite giving up a whopping 89 points. Last year, the teams were tied at 31 before a 21-0 fourth quarter run buy Memphis but things away. The last four meeting have produced 81 points per game. Don't expect Memphis to take its foot off the pedal either as it is not only looking for a spot in the AAC final but is also running neck-and-neck with App State for a big money G5 Bowl game Jan 1st. This one is a shootout start to finish. |

Vandy is down to it's 3rd string QB and could only manage 128 yards of total offense against Florida last week The Dores are also on a 1-5 ATS run and 2-7 L9 as a home dog.

The Troy ball control offense will have a lot of success while burning clock and protecting their flawed stop unit against a pretty much toothless Bobcat offense. |

DMack NCAAF Power Pack winner is on the Michigan Wolverines Forget the prior recent series history. Michigan State is arguably the biggest disappointment in college football and has mailed it in as evidenced by last week's fourth straight loss, a game they led Illinois by 31-10 in the fourth quarter. Michigan is playing their best football of the year and Harbaugh will have no qualms about spanking this cross-state rival. |

Temple got back on track with a win over South Florida after going 0-3 through the Memphis, SMU, UCF guantlet. The Owls might not have the firepower of Tulane but their defense is better, at home where they are 7-3-1 L11 as a home dog with 7 straight up wins. Too many points. |

11-15-19 | Louisiana Tech +2.5 v. Marshall | 10-31 | Loss | -106 | 62 h 15 m | Show | |
* Note to subscribers First, let me apologize to all subscribers to my late response here. I originally had liked this game so much that I was going to release it as a conference Game of the Year. I posted the game Monday hoping to keep the +2.5 but filly expected La Tech to go off around pick or even a small favorite. Sure enough, subsequently it was announced that the Bulldogs would have major player suspensions including starting QB J'Mar Smith plus a top wide out and linebacker. The line at this writing is Marshall -6.5 and I will not be playing this game personally. Since losing their opener to Texas, La Tech has won 8 straight and rolled through their CUSA schedule. The Bulldogs have an excellent offensive line and are No.18 (in a good way) in a metric that combines sacks and tackled for loss plays. Defense is the keystone of this year's Thundering Herd outfit but I believe Tech (averaging 42+ ppg. L4) would have still had a lot of success in this game but .... with J'Mar Smith at quarterback. Redshirt freshman Aaron Allen will be under center. This year, he's completed all 9 passes that he's thrown, 8 for 9 with a pick and a touchdown. Can he beat a Marshall team that has won four straight after a 2-3 start and very well coached ??? We'll see. Marshall is just 4-12-1 L17 as a HF. I depend a lot on the eye test and IMO, La Tech is the better team but ... I'll be watching this one preparing for the weekend. We'll make this one right. |

11-14-19 | Steelers +3 v. Browns | 7-21 | Loss | -120 | 26 h 7 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Thursday Night Thunder winner is on the Pittsburgh Steelers Cleveland snapped a four-game skid with a life-and-death win over Buffalo in their last. The Browns are have converted just 17 of their L57 3rd downs at home and are 5-11-1 L17 as a home favorite. We also know that Mayfield isn't much for taking care of the football which is not good against the Steelers who are +12 in turnovers (25 takeaways) in their L8 games and rock a current 7-1 run as a road dog. The Steelers road losses are to the 49ers and Patriots and with their defense playing like it's been, even with Mason Rudolph at the controls, the Steelers should be tough to deal with here. |

DMack's Thursday Night MAC Daddy is on the Buffalo Bulls These are two teams headed in opposite directions. Kent has lost three straight, allowing 103 points, 1521 yards, 817 of those (269 per) on the ground. The Flashes are 3-1 ATS as a home dog this year but versus inflated number early. Buffalo has found its stride after a rough October. The Bulls have won three straight against this kind by a 107-34 agg and a win here will get the Bulls Bowl eligible. Remember, Buffalo led Penn State for three quarters earlier in the year so they can play. The Bulls have urgency here and confidence as they smoked Kent by 48-14 and 27-13 the last two years. Buffalo by two touchdowns. |

11-13-19 | Northern Illinois v. Toledo -2 | 31-28 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 18 m | Show | |
DMack's Weds Night MAC Attack winner is the Toledo Rockets At 2-6, Northern Illinois has pretty much played it's way out of bowl eligibility. The Huskies gave up 327 yards rushing (6.5 per) to Central Michigan in their most recent and face a much tougher overland attack here in Toledo with stud backs Koback and Seymour. For our purposes, it would be nice to see the Rockets rush for 300+ yards and burn plenty of clock as they received horrific QB play from Peters last week and the defense forgot how to tackle in a "shouldn't have been close" win against Kent. Toledo is very tough at home going 12-2 SU L14 at the Glass Bowll (7-2 ATS L) vs. MAC opposition. There is some reports that original Toledo starting QB Mitch Guadagni could play here after missing three games with a shoulder injury. Toledo is right there in a four-team race in the MAC West and have to think we'll get their best tonight in front of a national TV audience. Toledo 41-14. |

11-12-19 | Eastern Michigan -17 v. Akron | 42-14 | Win | 100 | 16 h 16 m | Show | |
DMack's Tues Night MAC Con Mac Daddy is on the Eastern Michigan Eagles I thought about passing tonight as these mid-week, mid-major games are tough and played by teams as dependable as rain. Akron is 0-9 SU and ATS this year having been outscored 131-9 in their L4 errrrr "efforts". Eastern Mich's optimum role is as dog but the EMUs are 2-3 this year on the road with a win over Illinois. The Eagle beat Akron 27-7 (-11) last year so they can win as a favorite by margin. With Northern Illinois and Kent on deck, getting bowl eligible is VERY doable with a win here. Expect big effort from the visitors. |

11-11-19 | Seahawks v. 49ers OVER 47 | 27-24 | Win | 100 | 10 h 13 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Week 10 Monday Night Mayhem winner is on Seattle/SFran Over Seattle has 10 of the L11 in the series but you can throw that history right out the window here as both teams are very different from recent editions. The Hawks are averaging 28.5 ppg. in winning all four of their road games. Russell Wilson is likely the halfway mark MVP and is off a 5 touchdown outing in last. The unbeaten 49ers will be tested here. The San Francisco offense has been inconsistent at times but at the end of the day, 5 of their 8 wins are by 13+. In their last game in Santa Clara against a team with a pulse, Jimmy G and Co. dropped a 50-burger on a pretty good Carolina team. The 49er defense has held five opponents to less than 250 yards of total offense but Arizona rookie Kyler Murray moved the ball against the 49ers in most recent. Was it a look ahead or the similar Cardinal/Seahawk scheme ??? Wilson is arguably the best quarterback in the league and through the first 8 weeks, has been playing like it and he always gives the Seahawks a punchers chance. That would be doing what they do an trading points. Play the OVER. |

11-10-19 | Vikings v. Cowboys -3 | 28-24 | Loss | -105 | 78 h 3 m | Show | |
DMack NFL Early Release is on the Dallas Cowboys This "cap" doesn't really require a whole lot between two similar teams with very similar numbers. It basically comes down to the Vikings haven't won these types of key games and Cousins doesn't win these types of game. Cousins was 1-6 against the Pokes when he was a division opponent with Washington. Tonight, he'll be working without a key cog in the Vike offense in Adam Thelen which should allow Dallas to double up on Diggs and Rudolph. Dallas, an automatic home fade during the first part of Garrett's tenure, is on a 6-3-1 run as a home favorite. Dallas scored 31+ in all 5 wins and scored 22-10-24 in their losses. Big game for Dallas here but if the Cowboys get off to a fast start should cruise to an easy double-digit win. |

DMack NFL Early Release is on the Los Angeles Rams Barring a total and complete meltdown by Goff, the Rams are much the best here. In McVay's two years, the Rams 51-17 and 30-16 out of the bye week like they will be here. The Ram offense has worked things out, converting 15 of 29 3rd downs in L2 wins after a brutal three-game run. The Steelers were lucky to beat the Dolphins and were the beneficiaries of an act of God against the Colts. Rams with this by two touchdowns. |

DMack Game of the Week winner is on the Arizona Cardinals Bruce Arians face the team he coached for four year's with a Tampa Bay outfit that is 4-15-1 L20 as a home favorite, a defense allowing 33.8 ppg. L4, and a quarterback who is a turnover machine. Arizona has done some good things. The Cards have covered 4 of 5, covered 3 of 4 road games, and are 7-4-1 L12 as a road dog. Kyler Murray has "gotten it" pretty quickly. The Cards have not the ball over AT ALL in their L5 games so they don't hurt themselves. Add to the mix that NFC West non-division road dogs are 7-1 this year and we'll grab five with an Arizona team showing "buy" signs. |

DMack NFL Power Pack Release is on the Chicago Bears Both teams have played a number of close games but feel that the homestanding Bears are the right side here. Chicago has lost four straight thanks to an offense that doesn't produce points that often leaves the defense in terrible spots. The Bears did sweep the series last year and just might have the key to stop or slow Stafford down. Nagy and Trubisky are under some massive Windy City heat and will pull out all the stops and open up the game plan after the "O" produced and embarrassing 9 total yards in the first half last week in Philly. |

DMack's NFL Total of the Week winner is on the Browns/Bills Under The Browns have lost four straight, allowing 28.5 ppg. in the process but that doesn't figure to happen here against an extremely limited Buffalo offense that is 6-2 to the under in eight games. The Bill defense is rock solid without being outstanding, last week holding the Skins to 9 points, 12 FDs, and 243 yards of total offense. The Browns are better than the Skins but this Bills have found ways to lock people up and Baker Mayfield has had a forgettable year at best. Play the under. |

DMack NFL Power Pack Release is on the New Orleans Saints Both teams are off a bye week and both teams have had success coming out of a bye but that is where all similarity ends. Atlanta is has lost six straight, 1-5 ATS, and are 0-4 on the road with two of the losses by 16 and 21 points. The Dirty Birds are also just 1-9 L10 as a road dog, 0-3 this year. New Orleans welcomed Drew Brees back with a 373-yard passing day. Can't think of one single reason that Sean Payton would take his foot off the pedal or call off the dogs here. Lay it. |

11-09-19 | Clemson -33 v. NC State | 55-10 | Win | 100 | 15 h 57 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAF Power Pack winner is on the Clemson Tigers North Carolina State just got smoked by Wake Forest and their prospects are not much better this week. The slumping Wolf Pack is just 1-6 ATS L7. Clemson has to be a little salty that they are defending NCAAF champion and undefeated this year and are still on the outside looking in at No.5 in the playoff rankings. As "bad" as Clemson has reportedly played, the Tigers are 7-2 ATS and holding opponents to 165 yards below their season averages. A fast start here is all Clemson needs to get this going. |

11-09-19 | Iowa v. Wisconsin UNDER 38.5 | 22-24 | Loss | -110 | 50 h 52 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAF Early Release is on Iowa/Wisconsin Under the Total If you look up SLOBBERKNOCKER in the dictionary it shows a photo of an Iowa/Wisconsin game. These are two elite defenses (Iowa 10th in total D, 3rd in scoring D) facing power running offenses with quarterbacks that are pedestrian tops, even on their best days. For whatever reasons, these two schools have trouble finding QBs like the Chargers, Bears, and Bucs have problems finding kickers. Regardless, this one could come down to the kicking game and there will be plenty of football between the 20s and ground games that eat up clock in chunks. FWIW, in the L5 years, college football game with totals of 38.5 or less have gone UNDER 63% of the time. Go Low. |

11-09-19 | LSU +6.5 v. Alabama | 46-41 | Win | 100 | 50 h 30 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAF Power Pack winner is on the LSU Tigers Bama has won the L7 of the series and Tua appears to be good to go after a high ankle sprain. That was 7 straight Tide wins, the L3 by 21-14-14 but this is a very different LSU. The Tigers are averaging 49 ppg. and are 6-1 ATS the last two years as home dogs. Coach Ed has taken his lumps in the past against Saban but with Joe Burrow and a stable of NFL caliber wide receivers, Ogeron and LSU have the fire power to stop the bleeding at 7 games. LSU 30-27. |

11-09-19 | Louisville +7 v. Miami-FL | 27-52 | Loss | -120 | 49 h 25 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAF Underdog Shocker is on the Louisville Cardinals The Canes are off two huge program changing wins including a dominating 27-10 over rival Florida State in most recent. That said, the Canes are just 1-4 as chalk this year and you can't hep but like what's going on in Louisville where former App State HC Satterfield is 18-6-1 ATS in his L25 and Louisville has two quarterbacks that hurt you in the air or running the ball. Louisville wins straight up if they can avoid turnovers. |

11-09-19 | Wake Forest -2 v. Virginia Tech | 17-36 | Loss | -105 | 49 h 22 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAF Power Pack winner is on the Wake Forest Demon Deacons VTech is 4-1 SU and ATS L5 in the series but the two have not met since 2011. Prefer a very balanced edition of the Demon Deacons who have head success against all comers. The vaunted Hokie defenses and special teams of the Beamer years is long gone. Wake picks up it's third win this year as a straight ass dogs. |

11-09-19 | Stanford -3 v. Colorado | 13-16 | Loss | -110 | 49 h 4 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAF Power Pack winner is on the Stanford Cardinals Colorado's season is circling the drain fast thanks to having allowed all 9 of their opponents 30+ points and 425+ yards of offense. The Tree is finally getting healthy and with Costello back calling the shots at QB, Stanford should hit it's point for yards and points as well. Stanford's current 10-3-1 road fave mark locked in with the 1-5 L6 Buff home dog run seals the deal. |

11-09-19 | Maryland v. Ohio State -42 | 14-73 | Win | 100 | 45 h 7 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAF Power Pack winner is on the Ohio State Buckeyes You will very rarely see games like this and Clemson on the DMack card but in this case, won't look a gift horse in the mouth. Ohio State was a surprise No.1 when they announced the playoff rankings. The Buckeyes will be very cognizant of the need for style points and also of the fact that Maryland dropped 51 on OSU in an OT loss last year. This year's turtle got off to a good start but in the L3 games, can only show a garbage time touchdown for their efforts. Ohio State 56-0. |

11-08-19 | Washington v. Oregon State +10.5 | 19-7 | Loss | -112 | 35 h 59 m | Show | |
DMack's Friday Pac12 Super Play is on the Oregon State Beavers Forget about the recent prior history between these two, this is a very different Oregon State team. The Beaver defense is a work in progress but the offense is top quality Pac12 with Luton calling the shots (19 TDs, 1 Int) and two stud backs, each averaging about six yards per carry. The Huskies are off two tough home losses and UWub's season has degenerated from a Pac12 championship and trip to the playoff to a Las Vegas Bowl game against Boise. Add to the mix the Huskies 2-6-1 runs as a conference road favorite (with 5 straight up losses) and we have a strong case to take the red hot home dog getting double-digits. |
|||||||
11-07-19 | Chargers v. Raiders | 24-26 | Loss | -114 | 58 h 54 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Thursday Night Thunder winner is on the Chargers The Chargers have won two straight and were dominating in their win over the Packers in a game that was nowhere near as close as the final score. This is the last game in Oakland for these old AFL West rival. The Bolts have won and covered the last four series meetings winning by a 76-26 aggregate. This game should be considerably higher scoring are the Raiders have allowed 24+ to 7 straight opponents. IMO, Oakland has gotten this far on smoke and mirrors. The Chargers seemingly responded to their new OC and we can expect Carr to be running for his life while under pressure from Bosa and Ingram. Bolts have done their best work on the road (13-4-1 ATS L18) and should win by double-digits here. |

11-07-19 | Temple -1.5 v. South Florida | 17-7 | Win | 100 | 65 h 31 m | Show | |
DMack's Temple/South Florida AAC Super Play winner is the Temple Owls Not real concerned about Temple's last two performances. The Owls just finished a three-game "gauntlet where they beat Memphis before getting smoked by at the time undefeated SMU and offensive juggernaut Central Florida. Temple is a solid, balanced, well coached team that generally outperforms their own kind and will be in revenge mode here. The Owls have had a chance to regroup and get healthy off a bye and have not lost three straight since 2014. South Florida is as counterfeit as they come and just 2-5 L7 as a home dog. Temple convincingly … 30-13. |

11-06-19 | Miami-OH v. Ohio -6.5 | 24-21 | Loss | -114 | 42 h 17 m | Show | |
DMack's Weds MAC Conference MACK DADDY is on the Ohio Bobcats Miami Oh beat Ohio 30-28 last year, a costly loss for the Bobcats. The Red Hawks are 1-4 L5 as a road favorite and even off last year's win, Miami is just 2-11 L13 in the series. Ohio is 3-1 in the MAC this year with the loss to a desperate Northern Illinois. With home field, revenge, and the lead in the Eastern Division on the line ... expecting the best effort of the year for Frank Solich's crew and an easy Bobcat rocking chair win. |

11-05-19 | Kent State v. Toledo -7 | 33-35 | Loss | -106 | 17 h 17 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Tuesday MAC Conference Super Play winner is on the Toledo Rockets At 3-5, Kent is still somewhat of a fraud as the Flashes have really only played one good game all season, that a 62-20 win over Bowling Green. Strangely, Bowling Green beat Toledo 20-7 in a game where the Rockets were a complete no show. Toledo is much the better team despite the result versus this particular common opponent. Toledo is home, owns a win over BYU on this field, and has won the L4 in the series while going 3-1 against the points. Expect an easy double-digit win here. |

11-04-19 | Cowboys v. Giants OVER 48 | 37-18 | Win | 100 | 43 h 25 m | Show | |
DMack's Giants/Cowboys Monday Night Mayhem winner is on NYG/Dallas OVER 48 The Cowboys beat the Giants 35-17 in Week I. Not sure much value that game merits here as Eli was still QB of the G-Men at that point. One constant is the Giants horrendous defense which allowed the Cowboys five TD drives of 75+ yards, three 20+ yard touchdowns, and Dak to connect for 12.7 yards-per-ATTEMPT passing. In their last four games, the Giant's opponents have converted 26 of 53 3rd downs. Dallas scored 31+ in all of their four wins and will get theirs here. The Giant offense has run somewhat better with Jones who learns his craft under fire. Saquon is close to 100% which is good for our purposes and the New York has been especially efficient scoring points in garbage time late. This one finishes closer to 60 than 50 … play the OVER. |

11-03-19 | Patriots -3 v. Ravens | 20-37 | Loss | -130 | 134 h 18 m | Show | |
DMack early release NFL winner on the New England Patriots I'm a firm believer in the old boxing adage that you can only beat who they put in front of you so I don't put much credence in the "Haters" that say the Pats have played nobody. They haven't but the scariest part of the whole thing is that Brady has been pedestrian at best and hasn't shown an inkling of "Goat" status in 2019. Yeah, Harbaugh is good off a bye but the Belechick's domination over rook and 2nd year QB's is legendary and you KNOW the hoodie will have something dialed up for Lamar Jackson. Pats 10-3 L13 in the series and 3-1 L4 visits here. In the end, another routine Patriot win. |

11-03-19 | Packers -3 v. Chargers | 11-26 | Loss | -120 | 130 h 25 m | Show | |
DMack early release NFL winner on the Green Bay Packers Green Bay is rolling behind MVP front-runner Aaron Rodgers. The Pack has won four straight averaging 32.5 ppg. and converting 14 of their L23 3rd down attempts. I'm disconnect the Chargers from life support and calling time of death despite getting win over the Bears last week in a game they had no right winning and figure on 26,999 of the 27,000 fans in Carson today being Green Bay fans. Packers 35-17. |

11-03-19 | Browns v. Broncos +4.5 | 19-24 | Win | 100 | 42 h 38 m | Show | |
DMack Sunday NFL Power Pack winner is on the Denver Broncos For a team that has lost three straight while allowing more than 30-points per, the Browns continue to get lots and lots of love. Sure the Broncos are 2-6 and going with two QBs that have never taken an NFL snap but switch from Flacco can only be good. Ex-Arkansas QB Brandon Allen threw the ball around with success for three years at Arkansas and the Broncs still rock a prideful defense. Denver is 1-3 at Mile High with two losses by two points. Denver CAN win this game straight up. |

11-03-19 | Lions v. Raiders OVER 50.5 | 24-31 | Win | 100 | 41 h 47 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Total of the Week is Lions/Raiders Over Stafford and Carr are both having good years and neither team is playing a whole lot of defense. The Lions have held one team to less than 23 points all season and that was the toothless Chargers. Motown has allowed 91 points in it's L3 games. The Raiders return home after their 48 day marathon roadie. They've lost their L2 allowing 69 points and four of their L5 have gone over. Would be surprised if this one didn't get into the 60s. Play the over. |

11-03-19 | Titans v. Panthers -3 | 20-30 | Win | 100 | 40 h 44 m | Show | |
DMack Sunday NFL Power Pack winner is on the Carolina Panthers "Sharp" money reputedly coming in on the Titans here because of spark from Tanneyhill and several random techs but fact remains that Tennessee is an 11-21 ticket burner in it's L33 as a road dog and they'll be facing a VERY salty Carolina bunch that had a 50-burger dropped on them last week by the 49ers. Carolina had won four straight prior. Rivera let McCaffrey do his thing and Panther defense shut done Henry to get Mojo back. |

11-03-19 | Bears v. Eagles -4 | 14-22 | Win | 100 | 40 h 41 m | Show | |
DMack Sunday NFL Power Pack winner is on the Philadelphia Eagles The Eagles got off to a slow start last week in Buffalo but played a near perfect second half the blow out the Bills. The Eagles ran for 218 yards in the game but most importantly are getting healthy on both sides of the ball and have benefitted from excellent play from Wentz. The Bears have lost three straight with their vaunted Monsters allowing a tic less than 28-points-per. Chicago (3-4) is 0-4 when the defense is unable to hold an opponent to less than 15 points … and then there is Trubisky. Philly by double digits. |

11-03-19 | Colts +1 v. Steelers | 24-26 | Loss | -112 | 38 h 3 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Game of the Week winner is on the Indianapolis Colts Can't think of one reason that I would want the Steelers here. Pitt was life and death to beat the Dolphins in last, Rudolph was mostly ineffective in his return back out the concussion protocol, Connor is hurt, and it's a short work week. The Colts have won three straight, 5 of 6, and are 3-0 ATS on the road this year. Indy is 5-0 when they allow less than 30 points and I doubt the Steelers would score 30 here in a double-header. For the techies … AFC South non-division road teams are 9-2 ATS this year, NFC North non-division home teams are 0-11 ATS. The wrong team is favored here. Indy 27-13. |

11-03-19 | Texans v. Jaguars +2 | 26-3 | Loss | -115 | 36 h 17 m | Show | |
DMack's Texans/Jaguars London Calling winner is on the Jacksonville Jaguars Strangely enough, this division series has been swept the last eight years. Houston won 13-12 when Jags went for two in Week II but Jacksonville has been showing "Buy" signs with Minchew who is now 4-2 at the controls. The Texan defense is in shambles where as the Jags have allowed 17 or less in their L3 … and the dog is 6-2 L8 in series. Jacksonville owner Khan has Euro connections and win would be sweet for him. Jags oblige … call it 20-13. |

11-02-19 | Northwestern v. Indiana -11.5 | 3-34 | Win | 100 | 98 h 14 m | Show | |
DMack early release NCAAF winner on the Indiana Hoosiers The surprising Hoosiers are already bowl eligible but won't rest on their laurels when with 8 wins they can get something pretty decent. Indiana can play offense with just about anyone and the Hoosier defense has to deal with a Northwestern offense that is averaging 7.6 points and 243 yards per game in Big 10 play. This could be a prime spot for an upset alert but with Northwestern winning 9 of the L10 in the series, Indy HC Allen won't let that happen. |
