01-02-22 | Cardinals +6.5 v. Cowboys | 25-22 | Win | 100 | 5 h 33 m | Show | |
Arizona has fallen into 2nd place in the NFC West standings, one game back of the LA Rams. The Cardinals look to snap a 3-game losing streak here today at Dallas. The Cards are coming off a loss to the Colts, 16-22. That was on the heals of a loss at Detroit the previous week, 12-30. The Dallas Cowboys will be the NFC West Champion with an 11-4 record and a 3-game lead over the Eagles. The Cowboys have won four straight games both S/U and ATS. Dallas still trails Green Bay in the overall best NFC record. Plus the Bucs have an identical 11-4 record. The Cardinals have been very good on the road, evidenced by their 18-7-2 ATS record their last 27 games. The Cardinals have covered five of the last six games in this series and the dog is also 5-1 ATS. I'll take the dog Cardinals here today. Play Arizona. |

01-02-22 | Dolphins v. Titans UNDER 41 | 3-34 | Win | 100 | 3 h 54 m | Show | |
Miami has been amazing after starting the season with a 1-7 record. They really turned things around with seven straight wins and put themselves in the playoff hunt. They have two tough games to go, today against Tennessee then against the Patriots to close out the regular season. Miami's defense has been very good, allowing 17 points or fewer in four of their last five games. They are coming off an impressive win at New Orleans, 20-3 as a 3.5-point favorite. Despite losing Derek Henry to a foot injury, the Tennessee Titans are still one game ahead of Indianapolis for the AFC South lead. The Titans are 10-5 on the season, they average 23.8 ppg while allowing 21.7 ppg. The Titans haven't been hit too hard with the Covid bug, with just three players out today. The Titans are coming off that Thursday night win over the 49ers, 20-17, a game which they trailed 0-10. The Titans have allowed just 36 total points over their last three games. Looks to be a good defensive battle today. I'll take the UNDER. |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Giants v. Bears UNDER 36.5 | 3-29 | Win | 100 | 3 h 53 m | Show | |
These two teams not going anywhere this post season and it looks like a miserable day for a game. The weather at Soldier Field in Chicago is expect to be cold, in the 20's with winds around 15-20, so that will make it eve colder. With both teams not going anywhere and the offenses both less than stellar, might make for a sloppy day on the field. The Giants average just 16.5 ppg this season and have scored more than 13 points just once in the last five games. They are 0-4 S/U and ATS in their last four games. The Giants are also 5-15-1 O/U in their last 21 games as a dog. Chicago isn't much better, averaging just 17.7 ppg this season. They did manage a win last week at Seattle, but against one of the worst defenses in the NFL,m 25-24. At home they are just 2-5 S/U and ATS along with going under in five of those seven games. The Bears have gone under in six of their last seven games as a home favorite and 19 of their last 26 overall at home. With the weather and both teams dead teams walking, I'll take the UNDER. |

01-01-22 | Utah +4 v. Ohio State | Top | 45-48 | Win | 100 | 6 h 32 m | Show |
Ohio State has had some time now to stew about their big loss to Michigan on Nov 27th, 27-42. The Buckeyes finished the season at 10-2 S/ and 7-5 ATS. Meanwhile, Utah brings a six game win streak into today's Rose Bowl at Pasadena. The Utes also won the PAC-12 Championship with a decisive win over Oregon. Have to believe the Buckeyes might not have their heads in this game. If they had beaten Michigan they would have likely played in the National Championship final four. Instead, they play Utah in the Rose Bowl. This game means a lot more to this Utah team. They can beat a big time football powerhouse in this storied event. For Utah, this is their game to show they belong and their own National Championship. Throw out any numbers in this one, I'm looking for motivation and for me it all falls to Utah. |
|||||||
01-01-22 | Oklahoma State v. Notre Dame | 37-35 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 3 m | Show | |
Fiesta Bowl from Glendale, AZ today has Oklahoma State taking on Notre Dame. The OK State Cowboys finished the regular season with a 11-2 S/U and 9-4 ATS record. They averaged 30.6 ppg while allowing 16.8 ppg. Notre Dame finished 11-1 S/U and 9-3 vs the spread. The Irish averaged 35.2 ppg while allowing 18.2 ppg. Notre Dame had an average offense overall, but was top 20 in FBS Scoring. Both teams have played well at times. Notre Dame's level of play has been more consistent while Ok State has had some big ups and a few downs. I don't expect a high scoring game here today, but should be fairly close. Notre Dame has been more consistent plus they have averaged better points on the Year. Play Notre Dame. |
|||||||
12-31-21 | Georgia v. Michigan +7.5 | 34-11 | Loss | -106 | 9 h 32 m | Show | |
The second half of the National Championship playoffs will be decided here tonight and we'll know who will play for the overall Championship. Georgia take on Michigan in what looks to be a great defensive battle. Georgia has the 2nd ranked overall defense in the country and Michigan has the 12th overall rated defense. Georgia allowed just 9.5 ppg this season while the Wolverines allowed 16.1 ppg. The Wolverines had the better spread record with a 11-2 mark compared to Georgia's 8-5 mark. I fully expect points to be at a premium here today and with that I take the dogs plus a TD or more. Play Michigan. |
|||||||
12-31-21 | Cincinnati +13.5 v. Alabama | 6-27 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 21 m | Show | |
Cotton Bowl here today has Cincinnati taking on Alabama for the right to move on to the NCAA FB Championship game. Cincinnati a big dog here today of 13 to 14 points. The Bearcats finished the season with a perfect 13-0 record and 8-5 ATS spread mark. They had a terrific defense, allowing just 16.1 ppg this year while scoring an average of 39.2 ppg. They scored at least 35 points in each of their last four games. Meanwhile the Alabama Crimson Tide finished the season at 12-1 S/U and 7-6 ATS. Their lone blemish coming back on October 9th at Texas A&M, 38-41. This team not as good defensively as we've seen in the past as they allow just over 20 ppg this season. I really won't be shocked if the Bearcats pull off the straight-up win here today. Still, I'll take all the points in this one. Play Cincinnati |
|||||||
12-30-21 | 76ers v. Nets -5 | 110-102 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 18 m | Show | |
The Philadelphia 76ers are 18-16 S/U and 14-20 ATS on the season. They are dead even in scoring, 106-106 on average. On the road, they are doing well, 12-8 S/U and 10-10 ATS and again even in scoring 106-106. The Sixers are 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games. They are also 3-8 ATS in their last 11 total games. The Brooklyn Nets are 23-9 S/U and 14-17-1 ATS on the season. They are 10-6 S/U and 4-11-1 ATS at home. The Nets have covered five of their last seven overall games. They have also covered four of the last five against the 76ers. I'll take the Nets here at home on Thursday. |
|||||||
12-30-21 | St. Joe's v. Richmond -11.5 | 83-56 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 8 m | Show | |
The St Joseph Hawks look to stay above the .500 mark tonight as they play at the Richmond Spiders. St Joe's is 6-5 S/U and 7-4 ATS on the season. They are coming off a loss at Bradley, 73-77, but just covered the 4.5-point dog spread. Richmond is 9-4 S/U and 7-6 ATS on the season. The Spiders are a perfect 6-0 S/U at home but just 3-3 vs the number. They are outscoring their visitors by a 77.5 to 64.3 average. Richmond is 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games vs a team with winning straight up record. I'll take the host in this one tonight. Play Richmond. |
|||||||
12-30-21 | Pittsburgh v. Michigan State -3 | Top | 21-31 | Win | 100 | 6 h 8 m | Show |
Peach Bowl from Atlanta Georgia has Pittsburgh taking on Michigan State. The Pitt Panthers come into today's contest with a 11-2 overall record and 10-3 ATS spread mark. The Panthers bring a five game win streak into the game and have covered four of their last five games. The Panthers will be without their starting QB in Kenny Pickett who is out with personal issues. QB Nick Patti looks to start here today with just 14 attempts on the season. This will be a big blow to the Panthers team that afveraged over 350 yards through the air this year. Michigan State finished 2nd in the Big 10 East with a 10-2 S/U and 9-3 ATS record. I'm going to take Michigan State here today as I don't see Pitt doing a lot with their backup QB at the helm. Play Michigan State |
|||||||
12-29-21 | Knicks -7.5 v. Pistons | 94-85 | Win | 100 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
The New York Knicks looking to climb closer to the .500 mark as they sit at 16-18 on the season. The Knicks have won and covered two straight games, including their last game over Minnesota, 96-88 as a 5-point favorite. They get to face a Detroit squad today that has just five wins against 27 losses. The Pistons have lost three straight games and are 1-2 ATS during that span. They are coming off a blowout loss at San Antonio, 109-144. They have now been outscored on the season by a 100.7 to 110.5 margin. The Knicks playing back-to-back here tonight, but that hasn't been a problem as they have covered nine of the last 12 in that spot. They are also 4-1 ATS in their last five as a road favorite. The Knicks have covered the last six in this series and I look for them to make it seven in a row here tonight. Play NY Knicks |
|||||||
12-29-21 | Maryland -4 v. Virginia Tech | 54-10 | Win | 100 | 3 h 39 m | Show | |
PinStripe Bowl today from Yankee Stadium has Maryland taking on Virginia Tech. Maryland finished the regular season with a 6-6 record and just became Bowl eligible. They are also 4-8 vs the number this season. The Terps had to win their last game to get this bowl and they did with a 40-16 win over Rutgers on the road. That snapped a 3-game losing skid. Virginia Tech also just became bowl eligible with a 6-6 record. They finished way down in the ACC standings, tie for 5th with four other teams. The Hokies were 4-8 ATS on the season and outscored opponents by a 24.89 to 22.9 margin. Tech is just 1-5 ATS in their last six non-conference games. They are also 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The favorite has covered four of the last five in this series and that's who I'm taking today. Play Maryland. |
|||||||
12-28-21 | Texas Tech v. Mississippi State -9.5 | Top | 34-7 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 46 m | Show |
Texas Tech just did become Bowl eligible at 6-6 S/U and they were 6-5-1 vs the spread. The Red Raiders were outscored on the season 30-32.1 and finished 6th in the Big 12. The Raiders limped into the postseason, losing two straight games and f0our of their last five games. Their only win coming against Iowa State, 41-38. They were 2-3 S/U and 3-2 ATS on the road, outscored by a 28.8 to 36.5 ppg average. The Mississippi State Bulldogs are 7-5 S/U and ATS on the season. They outscored opponents by a 30.9 to 25.2 margin this year. The Dogs did lose their final game of the regular season to Ole Miss, 21-31 as a 2-point favorite. However, they did cover five of their last six overall. Miss State the better team here and has been playing better football down the stretch. Play Mississippi Sate. |
|||||||
12-28-21 | Louisville +1.5 v. Air Force | 28-31 | Loss | -116 | 5 h 16 m | Show | |
First Responder Bowl action here on Tuesday has Louisville taking on Air Force from Dallas, Tx. The Louisville Cardinals finished the regular season just bowl eligible at 6-6 S/U and 5-7 ATS. They averaged 31.9 ppg while allowing 27 ppg. They are coming off a loss to Kentucky, 21-52 in their last game as a 3-point favorite. That snapped a two-game win streak for the Cardinals. The Air Force Falcons bring a 8-4 S/U and 5-7 ATS record into today's contest. They averaged 31 ppg and allowed 19.1 ppg on the season. Louisville looks to be the more balanced team, averaging 211 yards rushing and 218 passing per game. The Falcons are still predominately a run team with 341 yards per game and just 82 passing per game. Should be a lot of ground and pound in this game. While Air Force does have the rushing edge, I like the balanced offense of Louisville here today. Play Louisville. |
|||||||
12-27-21 | Dolphins v. Saints UNDER 38 | Top | 20-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 9 m | Show |
The Miami Dolphins have been hot, winning six straight games and covering five of those. They have also gone under in five of their last seven games, thanks in big part to a stingy defense that has allowed more than 17 points just one time in their last six games. The Miami defense has also climbed to 18th overall in the NFL after being near bottom back in November. The New Orleans Saints defense has been solid, ranked 13th overall and 5th vs the run. The Saints have won two straight games including their big shutout win at Tampa Bay last time out, 9-0. They held the high powered Bucs offense to just 302 totals yards and frustrated Tom Brady the entire game. The problem with the Saints is at QB. They will not have Trevor Siemian today and Tayson Hill is doubtful with Covid protocols. That leaves starting duties to Ian Book. Book is the only QB left on the Saints roster and will make his first every NFL start tonight. That with the wild card on the line for the Saints. Book was a fourth-round 2021 draft choice out of Notre Dame. With Book starting and the Miami defense playing great, I'll take this game UNDER tonight. |
|||||||
12-27-21 | Western Michigan -6.5 v. Nevada | Top | 52-24 | Win | 100 | 1 h 45 m | Show |
Quick Lane Bowl here today from Detoit, MI has Western Michigan takin on Nevada. Have to believe Nevada has no interest in playing in this game. Their three best players, including QB Carson Strong, have opted out to get ready for the NFL draft. Plus at least 15 players have entered the transfer portal to follow their coach Jay Norvell to his new job at Colorado State. That's all bad news for the Nevada team that will be very short handed. Add to that the Wolves make the long trip from West to East and W.Michigan playing in their own backyard and this looks to be a Western Michigan blowout today. Play Western Michigan. |
|||||||
12-26-21 | Broncos v. Raiders | Top | 13-17 | Win | 100 | 6 h 57 m | Show |
The LA Raiders kept their playoff chances alive with a win at the Cleveland Browns last week, 16-14. That snapped a two game losing streak for the Raiders. They also got some good news today as two of their inured secondary will return today. The other good news is they face a Denver team they have handled quite easily in recent times. They are 7-1 ATS vs the Broncos their last eight meetings and 5-0 ATS on their home turf vs the Broncos. The Broncos will be without QB Teddy Bridewater who was carted off the field with a concussion. That leaves the signal calling duties to Drew Lock. Denver also still have a wild card shot as they sit a 7-7. For me, without Bridgwater this Broncos team is not nearly as good. The Raiders have some confidence after last week and know they can and will handle these Broncos today. Play Las Vegas. |
|||||||
12-26-21 | Rams v. Vikings OVER 48.5 | 30-23 | Win | 100 | 3 h 32 m | Show | |
The Rams can take over sole 1st place in the NFC West with a win today over the Vikings. The Cardinals loss last night to the Colts opened that door for the Rams. They will take on the 2nd place team in the NFC North, the Vikings. Minnesota is 7-7 and can't overtake Green Bay for 1st place but still has a chance with a win for a wild card slot. The Rams have won three straight games after their two-game losing skid. They are coming off a win over Seattle, 20-10. The Rams do good vs the NFC, going 27-12-1 their last 40 games vs the spread. The Vikings have won two straight games after a 2-game losing skid. They have wins over Pittsburgh and then last week over Chicago, 17-9. The Vikes are only 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games. I'm looking at the OVER here today. The Rams are 6-2-1 O/U in their last nine road games. The Vikings have gone over in four of their last five overall. I look for plenty of points in this one today. Play OVER. |
|||||||
12-25-21 | Colts v. Cardinals UNDER 48.5 | 22-16 | Win | 100 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
The Arizona Cardinals have to be one of the strangest teams in the NFL this year. They are 10-4 and tied for first place in the NFC West. However, last week they go to Detroit and were never in the game with a blowout loss, 12-30. Their offense could manage just just 13 points and 36 points over the last two weeks. It won't get any easier today against the 15th ranked defense in the Colts. The Colts have the most take aways this year. The Colts are +14 in turnover ratio, tops in the league. The Colts beat the red-hot Patriots last week, 27-17 with two more turnovers in that game. They have won four of their last five games and gone under in their last two games. The Colts also have the top running back in the league in Jonathon Taylor, so they should be able to control the ball on the ground today. I'm taking the UNDER. |
|||||||
12-25-21 | Browns v. Packers UNDER 46.5 | 22-24 | Win | 100 | 6 h 42 m | Show | |
This game does have playoff implications as the Packers have clinched a postseason spot, but the Browns are still battling. The Browns are in last in the AFC North at 7-7, one game back of the Bengals. They are 12th in the Wild Card race tied with three other teams. If the Browns lose today, they will be eliminated if the Ravens and Steelers both win. The Packers are 11-3 and have the best record in the NFL. While they can't clinch the No 1 seed this week, a win goes a long way toward that goal. I look at the Browns as the desperate team here today. They will look to control the ball on the ground with Chubb and keep Aaron Rodgers offense off the field as long as they can. That being said, I don't believe the Browns can get into a scoring match here today with the Packers. They need to keep this score lower and that means rushing the ball. I'm taking the UNDER here today. |
|||||||
12-23-21 | BYU -5 v. Vanderbilt | 67-69 | Loss | -113 | 8 h 29 m | Show | |
Diamond Head Classic here tonight from Honolulu, HI has BYU taking on Vanderbilt. BYU off to a fine start this season at 10-2 S/U and 7-4 vs the number. The Cougars have won and covered two straight games. They have covered four of their last five games. They will face a Vanderbilt Commodores team that is 7-4 S/U and 6-5 vs the number. They have won two straight games including yesterday over Hawaii, 68-54 as a 6.5-point favorite in the opening game of this tournament. BYU faced South Florida in game one of this tourney last night, winning easily 54-39 as a 14.5-point favorite. BYU the more talented team here tonight and I'll lay the five or six points with the Cougars. Play BYU. |
|||||||
12-23-21 | 49ers v. Titans OVER 44 | Top | 17-20 | Loss | -113 | 8 h 36 m | Show |
The San Francisco 49ers are in one of the toughest division in football, the NFC West. Even though they have a 8-6 record, they trail the Rams and Cardinals by 2-games. However, they do have the best Wild Card record at this point, so they need to keep winning. The 49ers have won two straight games over Cincinnati, 26-23 and then last week over Atlanta, 31-13. Now they have the short week turnaround as they travel to Tennessee to take on the Titans. The Titans are coming off a loss at Pittsburgh, 13-19 as a 1-point dog. That makes them 1-3 S/U and ATS over their last four games. The 49ers are ranked 12th overall in offense, 7th in rushing. The Titans have dropped to 17th since the loss of Derek Henry. The 49ers are 7-3-1 O/U in their last 11 games as a road favorite. The Titans are 6-2 O/U in their last eight home games. These teams have gone over in their last four meetings and that's what I look for again here today. Play OVER. |
|||||||
12-23-21 | Central Florida +7 v. Florida | 29-17 | Win | 100 | 6 h 16 m | Show | |
Battle of two Sunshine State teams here today in the Gasparilla Bowl as Central Florida takes on Florida. UCF Golden Knights finished 8-4 S/U and 4-8 ATS on the season. The Knights averaged 32.2 ppg and allowed 25.2 ppg. UCF has won two straight games and four of their last five games. The Florida Gators finished at 6-6 S/U and 3-9 ATS on the season. They average 31.8 ppg while allowing 26.6 ppg. The Gators limped into the Bowls, losing three of their last five games and failing to cover any of those contests. Gators will have big issues today with this UCF offense. I'll take the Knights in this one. Play Central Florida. |
|||||||
12-23-21 | Fresno State v. Weber State -1 | 69-43 | Loss | -125 | 4 h 29 m | Show | |
Fresno State Bulldogs are 11-3 this season, though they are coming off a loss to Utah last game, 50-55 as a 3.5-point dog. That snapped a five game spread win streak for the Dogs. Now they hit the road for a game here tonight at Weber State. Fresno is 1-3 S/U and 1-2 ATS in their four true road games this season. They have also been outscored in those games by an average of 60.0 to 63.5 ppg. Weber State is 9-3 on the season and looks to snap a 2-game losing streak. They lost both in instate rivals, 80-95 to Utah State and then their last game to BYU, 71-89. I like Weber to bounce back tonight and get back on the winning path. Take Weber State |
|||||||
12-23-21 | Miami-OH v. North Texas +2.5 | 27-14 | Loss | -108 | 3 h 46 m | Show | |
Frisco Bowl here in the early game of the day from Frisco, Tx has Miami Ohio taking on North Texas. Miami finished just bowl eligible at 6-6 overall and 5-7 vs the spread. The Hawks were a perfect 5-0 at home, but just 1-6 when playing on the road. They will play a North Texas team that also just got to the bowls with a 6-6 record and a 9-3 ats mark. Both these teams finished in the middle of their respective conferences. North Texas has the advantage of playing in their own State and for me that makes a difference against a poor road team like Miami. I'll take North Texas in this one. |
|||||||
12-22-21 | Bradley +1.5 v. UTEP | 73-66 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
The Bradley Braves look to stay above the .500 mark here tonight as they hit the road to play Texas-El Paso. The Braves are 6-6 S/U on the season with a 6-5 ATS mark. The Braves have won two straight and five of their last six games after starting the season 1-5 S/U. The Braves are coming off a win over Sam Houston, 87-61 as a 3.5-point favorite. UTEP has a 7-4 S/U record and has won three straight games. The Miners are just 1-4 ATS in their last five games. This is the Sun Bowl Invitational from El Paso, so UTEP has some home court here. Still, I like Bradley who has been playing very well of late. |
|||||||
12-22-21 | Nuggets -6.5 v. Thunder | 94-108 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 18 m | Show | |
Covid hitting the NBA hard this week. The Denver Nuggets look to be one of the least effected teams. They are 15-14 S/U with ah 13-16 ATS mark. The Nuggets are coming off a win at Atlanta, 133-115 and have won and covered three of their last four games. Oklahoma City is just 10-19 S/U on the year with a 18-11 ATS mark. They won two straight games and covered three straight. They are being outscored at home by a 101.4 to 107 margin. The Nuggets have owned this series, going 13-3 ATS in the last 16 games and 7-1 ATS in the last eight at Oklahoma City. I like Denver here today. |
|||||||
12-22-21 | Missouri v. Army -6.5 | Top | 22-24 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 7 m | Show |
Armed forces bowl has Missouri taking on Army. Missouri just did get bowl eligible at 6-6 S/U on the season. They were just 3-9 ATS overall this year. They are coming off a loss at Arkansas, 17-34 as a 14.5-point dog. The Tigers were outscored overall on the season 29.7 ppg to 34.7 ppg. Now they face an Army team that averaged 302 yards per game on the ground this year. Why is that significant? Missouri has the 110th ranked defense and they allowed 229 yards per game on the ground. Looks to be a long day here for the Tigers who will be fed a steady streak of Army rushing. Play Army. |
|||||||
12-22-21 | Hofstra v. Monmouth -4.5 | 77-71 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 7 m | Show | |
The Hofstra Pride hit the road today to take on Monmouth. The Pride are 7-5 S/U and 7-3 ATS on the season. They have won two straight games and six of their last seven games. That includes a win last time out at home over Arkansas, 89-81 as a 12.5-point dog. The Monmouth Hawks are having a fine season at 10-2 S/U and 12-0 ATS. Their perfect spread record is quite amazing since they have played teams like Cincinnati, St Johns and Pitt. The Hawks have won three straight games and 10 of their last 11 games. I look for Monmouth to keep that perfect spread record today. Play Monmouth. |
|||||||
12-21-21 | San Diego State -2.5 v. UTSA | 38-24 | Win | 100 | 6 h 4 m | Show | |
Frisco Bowl is the late game today from Frisco, TX and has San Diego State taking on UTSA. Both these teams had excellent seasons. San Diego State Aztecs were 11-2 S/U and 6-6-1 ATS on the season. The Aztecs were once again a great defensive team, allowing just 19.5 ppg this season. They did come off a loss in the Mountain West Championship to Utah State, 13-46. The UTSA Roadrunners were 12-1 S/U and 9-4 ATS on the season. They average 37.8 ppg while allowing 23.6 ppg. UTSA beat Western Kentucky in the Conference USA Championship, 49-41 as a 3-point dog. Both teams are excellent defensive units, but I have to give the edge to the Aztecs here today. Play San Diego State. |
|||||||
12-21-21 | Washington Football Team v. Eagles UNDER 41 | 17-27 | Loss | -108 | 6 h 33 m | Show | |
Washington and Philly are tied at 6-7 in the NFC East. Neither team will catch the 1st place Cowboys at 10-4, but both still are alive in the NFC Wild Card. Loser here will be done in the race. This game got moved from Sunday due to severe Covid outbreak with Washington, including starting QB Taylor Heinicke among many others. Most are questionable pending their Covid test today, including Heinike. Ryan Fitzpatrick looks to return to and should start at QB if Heinicke can't go. Washington has seen its last four game go under and eight of last nine go under. This is due in part to a 20th ranked offense and a 17th ranked defense. Washington coming off a loss last week to Dallas, 20-27 as a 6.5-point dog. Philadelphia is coming off a win over the Jets, 33-18. They have gone under in two of their last three and three of the last five. I don't look for this to be a high scoring game. I'll take UNDER. |

12-21-21 | Seahawks v. Rams OVER 46.5 | 10-20 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 32 m | Show | |
Seattle has rebounded nicely after a three game stretch where the offense really struggled. They are coming off wins over the 49ers, 30-23 and then last week over Houston, 33-13. The Seattle offense ranks only 28th overall. The defense still ranks last overall in the NFL. Now they have to face a LA Rams team fighting for a playoff spot. The Rams have won two straight games after their loss to the Packers back on Nov 28th. They beat Jacksonville, 37-7 and then last week beat Arizona, 30-23. Both teams have been scoring and I will take the OVER in this matchup today. |

12-21-21 | Wyoming -3.5 v. Kent State | 52-38 | Win | 101 | 2 h 3 m | Show | |
The Potato Bowl here on Tuesday from Boise, ID has Wyoming taking on Kent State. Wyoming finished 6-6 and was just bowl eligible. The Cowboys averaged 23.2 ppg while allowing just 22.5 ppg. Wyoming's last game was a Nov 27th loss against Hawaii, 14-38. Kent State finished first in the MAC East standings with a 7-6 record and 6-7 ATS mark. The Golden Flashes lost to Northern Illinois in the MAC Championship, 23-41 as a 3.5-point favorite. This game isn't about numbers, it's more about which team will show up here today. Good news for Cowboys is that All American Linebacker Chad Muma decided to play and not opt out for the NFL draft. With Mum playing here today I look for that to give a boost to this Cowboys team today. Take Wyoming. |

Minnesota Wild looking to snap a three-game losing streak here today as they hit the road for a game at Dallas. the Wild had won eight in a row before this recent three game skid. They are coming off a loss at home to Buffalo, 2-3. The Dallas Stars also had to endure a losing streak, five games in fact before finally snapping that with a win over Chicago last game, 4-3. I'll take Dallas here tonight as they play at home against the struggling Wild. Play Dallas |

12-20-21 | Eastern Michigan v. Valparaiso -7.5 | 55-67 | Win | 100 | 6 h 10 m | Show | |
Eastern Michigan Eagles are 5-5 and looking to stay above .500 mark as they take on Valparaiso here on Monday. The Eagles have a three game win streak and 2-0 spread streak as they play tonight. They are coming off a win over Fla International, 92-88 as a pick'em. The problem has been road games where they are 0-5 S/U and 2-3 ATS on the season. They are also getting outscored on the road by a 66.2 to 81.8 margin. Valparaiso Crusaders can get back to the .500 mark with a win tonight. Valpo is 5-6 S/U and 4-5 ATS on the season. They are coming off a loss to Charlotte, 67-68 as a 4.5-point favorite. The Crusaders are outscore visiting teams by a 81 to 67.6 score. I like the home team here tonight. Play Valparaiso. |

12-20-21 | Raiders -2.5 v. Browns | 16-14 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 11 m | Show | |
This game was a victim of the Covid Protocols. Originally slated to be played on Saturday, December 18, they moved this game to tonight in hopes players could get off the Covid lists and play. Well, that didn't happen. The Browns have been hit hard and even with the two day delay, those players on protocol are ALL out. That includes Baker Mayfield and a slew of offensive and defensive starters. There are a few players that look like they will play, but were' talking a lot of backups here. That's why the line has gone from Browns as favorites to the Raiders at 2 or 3 favorites. As for the Raiders, who are 100% vaccinated, they have no players out with Covid. Throw out the numbers here today, play the healthier Raiders in this one. |

12-20-21 | Tulsa v. Old Dominion +9 | 30-17 | Loss | -113 | 2 h 25 m | Show | |
Myrtle Beach Bowl here on Monday is the lone bowl action as Tulsa takes on Old Dominion. Both teams just did become bowl eligible with identical 6-6 records.

ODU Monarchs averaged 28.5 ppg while allowing 27.6 ppg. The Monarchs bring a five game win and cover streak into today's contest. They are coming off a win over Charlotte, 56-34. This team can score and getting nearly 10 points is a lot to give a high scoring team. I'll take the dog here. Play Old Dominion |

12-19-21 | Titans v. Steelers -1 | 13-19 | Win | 100 | 11 h 15 m | Show | |
The Pittsburgh Steelers are in a must win situation here on Sunday. They are in last in the AFC North with a 6-6-1 record. They sit a half game back of both the Bengals and Browns and 1 1/2 games back of division leading Baltimore. Meanwhile the Tennessee Titans can extend their lead in the AFC South to two games over the Colts with a win here today. Neither defense is up to previous standards, with the Titans ranking 14th and the Steelers at 26th. Tennessee has dropped to 17th in offense since then leading rusher Derek Henry went down with an injury. The Steelers come in at 21st overall and 30th in rushing. The Titans are coming off a win at home over Jacksonville, 20-0. That snapped a two game losing streak for the Titans. The Steelers overcame a horrid first half last week at Minnesota and almost pulled off the huge comeback, but fell short at the end of the game in a 28-36 loss. This game really more important to the Steelers and I will be on that side here today. Play Pittsburgh. |

12-19-21 | Jets v. Dolphins -10 | Top | 24-31 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 27 m | Show |
The NY Jets have lost two straight games as they head South to take on the Miami Dolphins today. The jets are coming off a pair of lopsided losses, both at home. They lost to Philly two weeks ago, 18-33 and then last week to the Saints, 9-30. The offense garnered only 256 yards vs the Saints and 281 against the Eagles. Won't get much easier against a much improved Dolphins team today. The Dolphins have won and covered five straight games. They are coming off a win over the Giants, 20-9. Their defense has really stepped it up, holding each of the last five opponents to 17 or fewer points. Four of those games were 10 or fewer points. I'll take the Dolphins here today as the Jets likely won't hit double digits on the score board. Play Miami. |

12-18-21 | Marshall +5.5 v. UL-Lafayette | 21-36 | Loss | -110 | 108 h 3 m | Show | |
New Orleans bowl action here today has local favorite UL Lafayette playing in their back yard against Marshall on Saturday. Marshall finished the season with a 7-5 S/U and 6-6 spread record on the season. Marshall had a very good offense, averaging 34 ppg and 471 yards per game this season. They held opponents to just 22.7 ppg and 388.3 ypg average. The Thundering Herd are coming off a loss to Western Kentucky, 21-53 as a 1.5-point dog. UL Lafayette was 12-1 S/U and 6-7 ATS on the season. The Ragin' Cajuns averaged 30.7 ppg while allowing 18.3 ppg. The Cajuns are just 2-5 their last seven games as a favorite and 0-4 ATS in their last four bowl games. Conversely, Marshall is 7-2 ATS in their last nine bowl games. I like Marshall here on Saturday. |

They are coming off a loss at Iowa State, 53-73 as a 5-point favorite. Iowa still 6-1 S/U and 4-3 ATS at home where they are outscoring opponents by a 95.1 to 68.6 margin. I like the host in this one. Play Iowa. |

12-18-21 | Patriots v. Colts OVER 45 | 17-27 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 39 m | Show | |
The New England Patriots have opened up a 2-game lead in the AFC East over the Buffalo Bills. The Patriots are not only 6-0 away from home this year but are on a 7-game win streak. They head to Indianapolis tonight to face the Colts. The Colts trail the Tennessee Titans in the AFC South by two games. After that, the Wild Card at this point is surely Wild and up for a number a teams to take. The Colts have the leagues 11th ranked overall offense and 2nd ranked rushing attack. New England has the leagues 16th ranked offense. The Colts have the 12th ranked defense and the Patriots have the 3rd ranked defense. As for the total, the Colts have gone over in five of their last seven overall games. They are also 13-3 O/U in their last 16 games vs a team with a winning record. This series has also been a good over bet with 16 of the last 21 meetings going over and seven of the last nine at Indianapolis going OVER. Play OVER today. |

New England has the leagues 16th ranked offense. The Colts have the 12th ranked defense and the Patriots have the 3rd ranked defense. This should be a excellent game here tonight. The Colts are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games. I'll take the hot team with the great road record. Play New England. |

12-18-21 | Warriors v. Raptors OVER 202 | 100-119 | Win | 100 | 7 h 0 m | Show | |
Covid seems to be the word right now in the NBA as 39 players last count hit by this bug. Tonight's Warriors vs Raptors contest has a few players effected. The Warriors Jordan Poole the only player listed as out tonight with Covid. For the Raptors, they have one non-starter also effected. So this game is one with the least Covid impact tonight. The Warriors are 24-5 S/U and 19-10 ATS on the seasosn. They are 8-21 O/U overall. However, they are coming off a over game at Boston last time out in a 111-107 win. The Raptors are 13-15 S/U and ATS on the season. Toronto is 15-13 O/U overall and 7-8 o/u at home. The Raptors have gone over in two straight games and three of their last four. These two teams have gone over in six of their last eight meetings in Toronto. I'm taking the over here tonight. |

12-18-21 | Magic v. Nets -5.5 | 100-93 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 60 m | Show | |
Orlando continue to struggle as they now sit 5-25 on the season after losing their 7th straight game and five of the last six against the number. Doesn't get any better on the road where the Nets are 3-15 S/U and 9-9 ATS. To make matters worse for the Magic, tonight's game is the 2nd of a back-to-back spot after they lost last night at home to Miami, 105-115 as a 8.5-point dog. The Brooklyn Nets having another fine season despite injuries and Covid issues. The Nets are 21-8 S/U and 12-16-1 ATS on the season. They are coming off a win on Thursday at home over Philly, 114-105 as a 1.5-point dog. Why were they a home dog and such a short favorite tonight? In one word, Covid. The Nets are without Kevin Durant and James Harden tonight, both out with Covid. They also will be without many back up players, six to be exact also on Covid protocols. The Nets are down to seven players. Still, I don't think they need much help against this Magic team that is also battling Covid issues. Play Brooklyn. |

12-18-21 | UTEP +11.5 v. Fresno State | 24-31 | Win | 100 | 101 h 25 m | Show | |
New Mexico Bowl has Texas-El Paso taking on Fresno State. The UTEP Miners bring a 7-5 S/U and ATS record into this bowl game, the first of the season. El Paso has played decent defense, holding opponents to just 338.9 ypg while averaging 391.5 ppg. The Miners lost their last game against UAB, 25-42 as a 13.5-point dog. The Fresno State Bulldogs are 8-4 S/U and 5-7 ATS on the season. The Dogs finished second in the Mountain West to San Diego State. Fresno has won two straight games, including their last at San Jose State, 40-9 as a 7-point road dog. Fresno has covered just two of their last eight bowl games and for me I'll take the points here today with the Miners. Play UTEP. |

12-17-21 | Grizzlies v. Kings UNDER 221.5 | 124-105 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
Covid continues to wreck havoc in the NBA with 39 players now under protocol. The Sacramento Kings likely will be without star player De'Aaron Fox tonight who is doubtful with Covid protocol. Fox averages 21.3 ppg this year for the Kings. The Memphis Grizzlies are 18-11 on the season both S/U and ATS. They have won four straight games and nine of their last 10. They are also 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games. They are coming off a win at Portland, 113-103 as a 2.5-point favorite. They have a nice away record at 7-5 S/U and 8-4 ATS, though they have been outscored overall on the road 104.4 to 109.1. The Kings snapped a three-game losing streak last time out vs Washington, 119-105 as a 2-point home dog. The Kings are 6-8 S/U and ATS at home and being outscored by a 108.9 to 110.4 margin. The Grizzlies have gone under in their last four games and in five of their last seven overall games. The Kings are 5-11 O/U in their last 15 home games. Without Fox I look for the Kings to score fewer points and keep this game under. |

Covid taking its toll on the NBA and the Lakers are one team that will miss a star player because of it. Russell Westbrook will be out tonight because of Covid protocols. The Lakers may sign former All-Star Isaiah Thomas to replace Westbrook if the NBA allows it. The NBA has 39 plays in Covid protocols and it's taking it's toll on the league. The Lakers have won three straight games both S/U and ATS including last game at Dallas, 107-104 in OT. They have gone under in four straight games and 1-5-1 O/U their last seven games. The Wolves are 13-15 S/U and ATS on the season. They look to extend their two-game win streak here tonight after beating the Nuggets last game, 124-107. Those two wins snapped a five game losing streak. Even without Westrbook tonight, I look for the Lakers to win this one. Play LA |

12-17-21 | South Alabama -1 v. Tarleton St | 52-65 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 60 m | Show | |
South Alabama Jaguars are having a fine season off to a 9-2 record. The Jags are also 6-1 ATS in their spread games thus far. They have also won and covered their last three games including last time out vs Tarleton State, 69-62 as a 6.5 point favorite. The Jags are outscoring their opponents by a 76.3 to 59.9 margin. Tarleton State Texans face South Alabama for the second straight time, this one on their home court. The Texans are just 3-8 overall on the season and 4-3-1 ATS in their spread games. The two big games on their schedule they played both games tight at Gonzaga, 55-64 loss and at Michigan, 54-65 loss - covering both. The Texans are 3-1 S/U and 0-1 ATS at home this season. However, two of those games came against Dallas Christian and SW Assembly of God. I like South Alabama today, they have proved they are a decent team while Tarleton doesn't have enough on its resume to persuade me. Play South Alabama. |

Two teams with identical 14-14 records meet here tonight as the Denver Nuggets travel East to take on the Atlanta Hawks. The Nuggets lost at home on Wednesday to the Minnesota T'Wolves, 107-124 as 4-point favorites. Now they hit the road for that arduous West to East trip, never good for West coast teams. The Nuggets are 6-9 both S/U and ATS on the road and being outscored by a 3.5 point margin this season. The Atlanta Hawks are coming off a win at Orlando last game, 111-99 as 7.5-point favorites. The Hawks are 8-6 S/U and 7-7 ATS at home this year. The Nuggets are just 5-16 ATS in their last 21 road games vs a team with a winning home record. They are also 2-9 ATS their last 11 games as a dog. Atlanta has covered six of the last seven in this series and that's what I look for again here tonight. Play Atlanta. |

Mississippi State is 7-3 S/U and 5-5 ATS on the season. The Bulldogs snapped a two-game losing streak last time out with a home win over Georgia State, 79-50 as a 9.5-point favorite. That cover also snapped a three-game spread losing streak. Furman getting seven or 7 1/2 points here tonight at Miss State. I like the dog in this one. Play Furman. |

The Wizards now have to play the 2nd of a back to back spot here tonight against one of the best teams in the NBA. The Phoenix Suns beat the Blazers on Tuesday, 111-107 as a 1.5-point road favorite. The Suns are 11-4 ATS their last 15 games on one day rest. The Wizards are 1-7 ATS in their last eight road games against a winning team. They are also 3-12-1 ATS on the road in their last 16 overall away games.

12-16-21 | Chiefs v. Chargers +3 | Top | 34-28 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 32 m | Show |
Kansas City and the LA Chargers play a key divisional game here on Thursday. The 9-4 Chiefs lead the 8-5 Chargers by just one game. A win tonight by the Chargers and they pull into a divisional tie. A loss and they can let the Broncos tie them with a win on Sunday. The Chiefs have the league's third best overall offense, 17th in rushing and 6th in passing. The Chargers are right behind them ranked 5th overall. Defensively, the Chargers rank a bit better at 15th compared to the Chiefs 23rd. The Chiefs have won five straight and covered four in row after last week's easy win over the Raiders, 48-9. The Chargers have won and covered two in a row after their win last week over the Giants, 37-21. Short turnaround here tonight. The Chargers also get back Keenan Allen who missed last week under Covid protocols. I like the home dog here tonight. Play the Chargers. |

During that span they are 6-6 ATS. The Indiana Pacers not near what they should be at 12-18 S/U and 15-14-1 ATS. The Pacers have lost two straight games after a 3-game win streak. They are coming off a loss at Milwaukee, 99-114 as a 2-point favorite. That game played last night means this is the second of a back-to-back spot. That hasn't been a problem though, as they are 5-0 ATS with no rest. They are also 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games. The Pacers are 9-3-1 ATS their last 13 in this series at Indiana and 5-2-1 last eight overall. Take Indiana. |

Lakers look to build on their 2-game win streak here tonight as they travel to Dallas to take on the Mavericks. The Lakers are 15-13 S/U and 11-17 ATS overall.

The Lakers are coming off a win at home over Orlando, 106-94 as a 10-point favorite. The Mavs have also won two straight games with their most recent coming at home over Charlotte, 120-96. Despite their two straight wins, the Mavs have still struggled recently as they have a 5-9 S/U and 7-7 ATS record their last 14 games. They have also covered just one of their last six home games. I'll take the Lakers here tonight. |

Missouri State has trouble with winning teams, evidenced by their 0-5-1 ATS mark in their last six games vs a team with a 60% or better winning mark. I'm going to take the road dog here tonight.

The Phoenix Suns have the best record in the NBA at 21-5, though they did play last night and lost to the LA Clippers, 95-111 as a 3-point road favorite. The Suns had a long winning streak snapped on Dec 3 by Golden State and since then are just 2-2 S/U and 1-3 ATS. The Suns have not lost two straight all season though. They travel to the Northwest tonight to face the Portland Trailblazers. The Blazers are 11-16 and coming off a loss on Sunday over Minnesota, 111-116 as a 1-point favorite. The Blazers are slumping badly, having lost five straight games and eight of their last nine games. They are also 2-7 ATS their last nine games. I like the Suns to bounce back tonight and get into the win column. Play Phoenix |

Texas Tech a huge favorite here tonight laying 23 1/2 points. I think that's way too many points for this Arkansas State team. I'll take the big dog here tonight. |

The Arizona Cardinals can take sole possession of the NFC standings with a win here tonight over the LA Rams. The Cardinals are 10-2 this season with the 10-3 Packers and Bucs on their heals. The Rams sit at 8-4 and right now looking for one of the those NFC Wild Card slots. The Rams are 5-7 ATS on the season and coming off a win and cover over Jacksonville, 37-7.

The Cardinals are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games. The favorite has been the play in this series, going 8-1-1 ATS the last 10 meetings. That's just the side I will be on here tonight. Play Arizona. |

The Houston Rockets are just 8-18 S/U on the season. They are a bit better though against the spread with a 13-12 record. The Rockets have lost two straight games, including last time out at Memphis, 106-113. However, they are 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine games. The Atlanta Hawks look to keep their heads above the .500 mark with a win tonight. Atlanta is 15-15 S/U and 11-15 ATS. They are just 2-4 ATS in their last four games.

12-12-21 | Bears v. Packers UNDER 44 | 30-45 | Loss | -110 | 126 h 40 m | Show | |
The Chicago Bears travel to chilly Green Bay to take on the Packers here in week 14. The Bears are 4-8 S/U and ATS with a 4-8 O/U record. They average just 16.7 ppg this season while allowing 23.9 ppg. The Bears offense has now fallen to 31st in the NFL with the only team worse being Houston. The Bears do have the worst passing average in the NFL with just 173.8 yards per game. QB Justin Field missed last week's game with a rib injury and is questionable to play this Sunday. That means Andy Dalton will likely get the start again. The Packers improved to 9-3 with a win two week's ago at home over the Rams, 36-28. They Packers had last week off and they needed it. QB Aaron Rodgers has been nursing a toe injury and used the extra time off to heal. Both these teams have been good under plays this year with both having identical 4-8 O/U records. The Bears have also gone under in eight of their last 11 overall and are 12-28 O/U in their last 40-games on grass. Cold weather, wind and maybe even some rain/snow likely all play a part this week. The Bears already can't score much, add weather and they get even worse. I'll take the UNDER. |

The Spurs are coming off a loss to Denver, 112-127 as a 1-point dog. The Spurs play better as a favorite, going 8-2 ATS the last 10 in that role. The Spurs have covered the last five in this series. Take the Spurs today. |

The Buffalo Bills coming off that wind-swept loss last week to the NE Patriots, 10-14. The Bills had two straight trips into the red-zone late in the 4th quarter and came away with no points. The loss dropped the Bills to 7-5 overall and two-games back of the Patriots in the AFC East. Now the Bills face the real prospect of having to fight for a AFC Wild Card slot. The Bills have lost three of their last five games and scored 15 points or fewer in those three losses. It won't get any easier this week as the Bills have to travel to Tampa to face the NFL defending Champion Bucs. Tampa Bay improved to 9-3 S/U and 6-6 ATS with their win last week at Atlanta, 30-17. It was the team's third straight win after having two losses in a row. Tampa Bay also has the league's third best overall offense and top rated passing attack. Buffalo operating on a short week here today and against the Bucs that can only hurt. I'll lay the field goal with the Bucs today. |

They are also 8-2-1 ATS their last 11 games overall and 5-2-1 ATS in their last eight games as favorite. I like the Lobos here today . Play New Mexico. |

12-12-21 | Ravens v. Browns -2 | 22-24 | Push | 0 | 118 h 18 m | Show | |
Reason: Baltimore is 8-4 S/U and 5-7 ATS after losing on Sunday to the Pittsburgh Steelers, 19-20. That snapped a two game winning streak. The Ravens have also now gone under in three straight games. The Ravens defense is ranked 20th in the NFL overall, but 2nd vs the rush and 32 nd vs the pass. The offense is 4th overall, 2nd rushing and 13th passing. The Browns had last week off after losing to the Ravens back on Nov 28th, 10-16. The Browns offense is ranked 16th and while their rushing is ranked 3rd they had only 40 yards on the ground in their loss to the Ravens two weeks ago. Weather can also wreck havoc in Cleveland and right now it doesn't look too bad, but that can change quickly. I look for the Browns to use that extra time off to be fully prepared for this game on Sunday. I'll take the home team here. |

12-12-21 | Cowboys v. Washington Football Team +4 | 27-20 | Loss | -110 | 118 h 18 m | Show | |
Key NFC West matchup here on Sunday, especially for the Washington Football team. The Dallas Cowboys lead the NFC East with a 8-4 record and the Washington Football team is in 2nd with a 6-6 record. While Washington is in the thick of the Wild Card race, they could use a big win here on Sunday in this divisional matchup. Washington is hot, winning four straight games including a last seconds win last week at Las Vegas, 17-15. The defense has played much better, allowing 21 points or fewer in each of their last four games. Dallas snapped a two game losing streak last week with a win at New Orleans, 27-17. They got a pick-six late from the defense to make the final look better than it was. The Cowboys were outgained in that win with the Saints, 379-405. That's three straight week the Cowboys out lost in the yardage total. Getting four points or more looks great to me here today when I believe that Washington can win this game outright. Play Washington. |

Weather can also wreck havoc in Cleveland and right now it doesn't look too bad, but that can change quickly. I look for a repeat of their game two weeks ago, a low scoring affair. Take UNDER. |

They are outscoring opponents by a 80.8 to 53.3 margin overall. Should be the first real test for this Cougars team as thye play their first real road game of the season here tonight. The Alabama Crimson Tide are 7-1 on the season and 6-2 vs the number. The Tide have won three straight since their only loss to Iona of all teams, 68-72 as a 12.5-point favorite. Since that loss they have won three straight both S/U and ATS. They pulled out a huge upset win in their last game against Gonzaga, 91-82 as a 9.5-point dog. Alabama showed just how good they are against Gonzaga and tonight they should handle this Houston team. Play Alabama. |

The Warriors have also outscore opponents overall by a 113.2 to 100.3 margin. The Warriors have won two straight games including last game over Portland, 104-94, though they failed to cover the 14-point spread. They face the Philadelphia 76ers today. The Sixers are just 14-12 S/U and 10-15-1 ATS on the season. Philly is coming off a loss at home to Utah, 96-118 as a 3-point dog. The Warriors are riding high and I won't go against them here.

Their only loss came way back on opening day to Duke, 71-79. Notre Dame looks to climb back to the .500 mark today as they sit at 3-4 S/U and 0-6 ATS. The Irish are coming off a loss at Boston College, 57-73 as 4.5-point favorites. Don't see the Irish getting their first cover here today either as Kentucky should roll in this game. Play Kentucky. |

They have also gone over in seven of their eight games, that Loyola game being their only under so far. Louisville Cardinals are 6-2 S/U and 4-4 ATS on the season. The Cardinals are coming off a win over NC State, 73-68 as a 4.5-point favorite. Louisville laying 7.5-points here today seems like a mountain for the Cardinals to climb against a very good covering Depaul team. Take Depaul. |

The Monmouth Hawks having a fine season thus far at 7-1 S/U and 8-0 ATS. It's impressive that the Hawks have covered every game this season. That includes a straight-up win over Cincinnati, 61-59 as a 10.5 point dog. St Johns Red Storm is 6-2 S/U and 3-4 ATS. Unlike the Hawks, the Storm has covered less than 50% of their games. They have also failed to cover in any of their last five games. Take Monmouth tonight as they looks to keep that cover record perfect. |

12-09-21 | Steelers +3.5 v. Vikings | 28-36 | Loss | -117 | 54 h 37 m | Show | |
Tonight, it's the Steelers at the Vikings in this Inter-Conference matchup. The injury report isn't good for the Vikings in this one as their star RB Dalvin Cook is questionable with a shoulder injury. At first it looked like a season ending injury, but turned out to just be dislocated. Still, without Cook this Vikings team is not the same. The Vikings have the dubious distinction of being the first team to lose to the Detroit Lions this year after last week's 27-29 setback at Detroit. That makes two straight losses for the Vikings. They will have to face a Steelers team that is playing with lots of confidence after coming from behind last week to beat Baltimore, 20-19. That improved the Steelers to 6-5-1 on the season. While the Steelers are still 3rd in the AFC North, they kept their playoff hopes alive. Getting 3.5 points here today with the Steelers looks, well like a steal since they can win this game outright very easily. Play Pittsburgh. |

While the Steelers are still 3rd in the AFC North, they kept their playoff hopes alive. Minnesota will also be without their star wide receiver in Adam Thielen who has an ankle injury. Even with Cook playing tonight, they will still be missing a key cog tonight and I look for this game to go UNDER. |

Hampton is coming off a win at home over Norfolk State, 58-57 as a 3-point dog. That snapped a six-game losing streak for the Pirates. William and Mary Tribe are 0-9 and still in search of that first win of the season. The bad news, the Tribe has also lost every game against the spread - all as dogs. Difficult to understand how William & Mary are 4-point favorites here tonight when they haven't even won a game this year or covered one. I'll take the points |

The Seton Hall Pirates only loss this year coming at home to Ohio State, 76-79 as a 2-point favorite. Since then they have won four straight. The Pirates are 4-3 ATS on the season. The Longhorns are a small favorite and my own numbers have Seton Hall the favorite. I'll take the home team. Play the Pirates. |

Fresno State off to a great start at 9-1 S/U on the season. The Bulldogs are also 5-2 ATS in their seven board games. Fresno has won and covered two straight games including their last over Cal Northridge, 61-43. That's two straight games they have held their opponent to just 43 games. Overall on the season they hold opponents to 55.7 ppg. Their one loss of the season came at California, 57-65 as a 2-point dog. The San Francisco Dons look to keep their perfect record in tact tonight as they sit 9-0 S/U. They Dons not so good vs the number at 3-5-1 ATS. They are coming off a win over UNLV, 83-62 as a 10-point favorite. With the Dons averaging 78.3 ppg and the Dogs holding opponent scoring in check, this should be a great battle. For me, a 9-1 team getting 8 or 8 1/2 points is just too many. Play Fresno State. |

They lost their opening game of the season to South Dakota, 53-59 and since have won seven straight. The Falcons outscore their opponents 64.9 to 57.9 and on the road they are about even at 59 to 58. The defense has been solid with a 57.9 ppg average. Montana is 5-4 S/U and 4-3-1 ATS on the season. The Grizzlies are coming off a loss at Northern Colroado, 75-78 as a 3-point dog, pushing the line. Montana has a decent, not great team and yet they are laying seven points tonight to a very good Air Force team. I'll take the points. Play Air Force. |

The Dallas Mavericks look to get back to the .500 mark tonight with a win at the Memphis Grizzlies. Dallas is also 9-13-1 ATS on the season and being outscored overall by a 104.3 to 106 margin. The Mavs have lost three straight games both S/U and ATS including last time out at home to Brooklyn, 99-102 as a 1.5-point dog. That loss coming last night, which means the Mavs are in the 2nd of a back -to-back spot, something never easy for a NBA team. The Memphis Grizzlies are 14-10 S/U and 15-9 ATS on the season. The Grizzlies have won five straight games both S/U and ATS. They had last night off after beating the Heat on the road, 105-90 as a 6-point dog the night before. Take Memphis. |

12-08-21 | Eastern Washington +17 v. Colorado | 57-60 | Win | 100 | 10 h 2 m | Show | |
Eastern Washington Eagles look to stay above .500 tonight as they hit the road to Boulder Colorado to play the Buffaloes. The Eagles are 4-4 S/U and 4-2 ATS on the season. They are coming off a win over Nebraska-Omaha, 92-81 as a 4-point road favorite. Colorado is 6-3 S/U and 2-7 ATS on the season. The Buffs are winning, but having trouble covering the numbers, something they have done once in their last six games. One of those covers came as a 13-point dog at UCLA in a 61-73 loss and narrow spread win. The Buffs have scored well against low level teams like Duquesne, Maine, New Mexico and Montana State. One disconcerting game was a home win over Brown, 54-52 as a 11-point favorite. The Eagles have been good in the dog role, covering 20 of their last 27 games and on the road they are 22-8-1 ATS their last 31 games. Can't see Colorado laying this number tonight to a decent EW team. Play Eastern Washington. |

12-08-21 | Dayton +4.5 v. SMU | 69-77 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 1 m | Show | |
The Dayton Flyers hit the road here today to take on the SMU Mustangs. The Flyers are 6-3 S/U and 5-4 ATS. The Mustangs had a rough start to the season, going 1-3 S/U and 0-4 ATS. However, since then they have beaten Miami Florida (76-60), Kansas (74-73) and three others during this five game win streak and cover streak. SMU is off to a nice 7-3 start, but has covered just three of those 10 games. Two of those covers have come in their last two games at home against Vandy (84-72) and vs UNLV (83-64). The Mustangs are now 5-16-1 ATS in their last 22 games overall and 3-10 ATS in their last 13 home games. I'll take the points with Dayton here tonight. |

12-07-21 | Knicks v. Spurs +1.5 | 121-109 | Loss | -102 | 6 h 57 m | Show | |
The NY Knicks can climb back to the .500 mark here tonight in San Antonio. The Knicks are 11-12 S/U and 10-13 ATS on the season. They have been decent on the road with a 6-4 S/U and ATS mark. The Knicks look to also snap a three-game losing streak here tonight. The Knicks lost on Saturday at home to Denver, 99-113 as a 2.5-point favorite. I'm not really sure why the Knicks are a road favorite here tonight. The Spurs are 8-14 S/U and 13-9 ATS on the season. They have been very competitive though with an overall scoring margin of 107.5 to 107.7. At home the Spurs 4-6 S/U and 6-4 ATS and outscoring opponents 113.7 to 111.8. The Spurs lost at Phoenix last night, 104-108, but covered the 7.5-point dog line. In fact, it was the team's fifth straight cover and four of five winners straight up. I still think this should have been pick or Spurs a small favorite. But, we'll gladly take the points. Play San Antonio. |

12-07-21 | Predators v. Red Wings +113 | 5-2 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
A pair of 13 win teams matchup here today as the Nashville Predators travel to take on the Detroit Red Wings. The Predators average 2.8 gpg and allow 2.8 gpg this season. Nashville hasn't won two games in a row since November 11 and 13th. They are coming off a win against Montreal that concluded a three game home stand. Detroit brings a four game win streak into tonight's contest. They are coming off a win at home over the Islanders, 4-3. In fact, they have won their last five home games. Getting Detroit as a small home dog here tonight where they have won five straight looks good to me. Play Detroit Red Wings. |

12-07-21 | Texas Tech +4.5 v. Tennessee | 57-52 | Win | 100 | 8 h 59 m | Show | |
Texas Tech Red Raiders are 6-1 S/U and 3-3-1 ATS on the season. They are coming off their first loss of the season at Providence on Dec 1st, 68-72 as a 2.5 point favorite. They stay on the road here tonight as they travel to Tennessee. Tennessee is also 6-1 S/U on the season and has covered four of their seven games. The Vols are coming off a win at Colorado, 69-54 as a 6-point favorite. Should be a good game here tonight between a pair of 6-1 teams. The Vols laying around 4-points. I'll take the dog in this one. Play Texas Tech. |

12-07-21 | Oakland -2.5 v. Bowling Green | 72-73 | Loss | -104 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
The Oakland Golden Grizzlies off to a very good start at 7-2 S/U and ATS on the season. They are coming off a win over IUPUI, 78-45, covering the 14.5 point road favorite line. That makes five wins in a row and four covers out of the last five games. The Grizzlies defense has been very good, holding opponents to just 65.4 ppg and 64.6 ppg on the road. Bowling Green Falcons are 4-4 S/U and 2-5 ATS on the season. They have won two straight, including last game at Dusquene, 78-70 as a 4.5-point dog. Bowling Green is just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games and 5-24-2 ATS in their last 31 home games. I'll take a very good Oakland team here today. |

12-07-21 | Virginia v. James Madison +4.5 | 49-52 | Win | 100 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
Can't get much closer then these Virginia schools are, just 35 miles as the crow flies. That means a lot in recruiting, especially to the smaller school like James Madison. Virginia looks to build on their 6-3 S/U record tonight as they travel the short distance to play James Madison. The Cavaliers are coming off a tough win over Pittsburgh, 57-56 as a 15-point favorite. They have failed to cover their last three games and five of their last seven games. The Cavs have played just one true road game and that was a loss. James Madison Dukes having a nice season at 7-2 S/U and 5-2 ATS. They are also 4-0 S/U and 2-0 ATS at home this season. The Cavs not a good covering team, going just 4-12 ATS over their last 16 games. Now they have to lay 4.5-points at a close rival team that hasn't lost at home. Take James Madison. |
