5*Pittsburgh Steelers +3

5*Baltimore Ravens +2.5

5*Kansas State +6

5*West Virginia +5

5*Middle Tenn St -3.5

10*NY Giants +5


The Giants catch the Broncos off an emotional playoff revenge win as Peyton Manning threw a career-best 7 touchdown passes. On the flip side, the G-Men committed 6 turnovers in an ugly loss to the Cowboys, despite out-gaining Dallas by 147 yards. Eli Manning is 19-12 SU at home in games off a loss, including 4-0 the last four tries. He is also 8-1-1 ATS as an Underdog of late. This angle seals the deal. All NFL Home Underdogs of 3.5 or more points, that committed 6 or more turnovers in Week one, are 18-3 ATS the very next week. Take the home dog in this upset maker!

5*Oregon State +3

5*Ohio U +8

5*East Carolina +8.5

5*Arizona +4.5

5*Green Bay +4.5

5*Carolina +3.5

5*Arkansas State +10.5

5*Memphis +4.5

5*Western Kentucky +13.5

5*Baltimore Ravens +7.5


The Broncos will be without their three best defensive players against the pass in this game. The Ravens are extremely motivated as they are getting no respect. This is the largest spread ever for a defending Super Bowl Champion in their opening game. The Ravens pass rush will be much improved and former Bronco Elvis Dumervil will be pumped up going against his former team. They should get to Manning and cause enough distress to keep this game close.

5*Northern Illinois +3

5*Buffalo Bills +3.5

5*North Carolina +12


This line should be closer to 10. I really beleive North Carolina will be able to compete with South Carolina so take the points in this one.

5*Cleveland Browns +2.5


After allowing 44 points to Buffalo in the opener, the Colts were able to bounce back last week against the Giants. That game was played on Sunday, meaning its a short week for the team. Meanwhile, Cleveland has not played since last Thursday and first year head coach Rob Chudzinski wants to win in the preseason. The extra two days should benefit this hungry Browns squad.


There is also a very strong angle going in this matchup that cashes at a 75% clip. Underdogs off back-to-back wins in the preseason are 30-10 ATS since 1993. Take the Browns!

5*Cincinnati Bengals -2.5


The Bengals are 5-2 SU in Week 2 of the Preseason under Marvin Lewis the last 7 seasons. He has always taken Week 2 more seriously than other head coaches and the Bengals have one of the best QB rotations right now. Look for a big effort from the Bengals in their last home game of August.

5*Cleveland Browns -1.5

10*San Diego Chargers +2.5


Last year, Seattle beat Tennessee 27-17 as a 3-point home favorite in Week 1, en route to a perfect 4-0 SU and ATS preseason. This time around, the Seahawks are plugging the hole at WR left by Percy Harvin

4*Miami Dolphins -3 (+100)


The Dolphins are running the same system for the second straight season, while the Cowboys are installing a brand new offense and defense. Miami has a solid QB rotation with Matt Moore and Pat Devlin taking over after Ryan Tannehill sees action. Dallas has some issues on the offensive line and I know for a fact that Miami is taking this game more seriously than Dallas. Take the fish!

5*San Antonio Spurs -2

4*Miami Heat -5

4*Indiana Pacers +2.5

10*Memphis Grizzlies -2.5


The Grizzlies have not been able to play good basketball in overtime against the Spurs. Otherwise, they have been right there. I look for this team to play great at home in game four. The Spurs will not be playing with a sense of urgency, unlike the home team. Mike Conley and Zach Randolph shot 16-for-35 in the last game and should shoot better tonight. It's very hard to defeat the same team 4 straight times in just eight days. Memphis wins by 7!

5*Memphis Grizzlies -5.5

5*Memphis +5.5


I would expect a major improvement in every aspect of the game by the Grizzlies. The Spurs are an older team at some key spots, and the longer the series goes the tougher it will be for them. I like Memphis to keep this one very close.

5*Indiana Pacers -4


I like the Pacers to bounce back at home after getting blown out on the road at MSG. I look for the Pacers defense to come up big in the final quarter.

5*Golden State


The Warriors should bounce back at home, and will get the benefit of the calls thanks to what happened to Steph Curry in Denver. Mark Jackson's comments through the media was brilliant and should fire up his team.

4*Indiana Pacers -6.5

4*Houston Rockets +10


The Rockets should be fired up in this first game with James Harden returning to OKC. This will be an entertaning game but closer than most people think.

5*Golden State +8


Take the points in this first game. The Warriors have been great this season when playing with rest. The Altitude should not be a problem in game one.

5*Dallas Mavs +4

5*NY Knicks -4

5*Golden State Warriors +4


The Warriors match-up very well with the Thunder and will be treating this contest as a playoff game. Take the Warriors!

5*Portland T-Blazers +3.5

5*Syracuse +2

5*Wichita State +10

5*Philadelphia 76ers +7

5*George Mason +7.5

5*Wichita State +4.5

5*Kansas -2


Michigan has been a nice story but their streak will come to an end. The Jayhawks are better and well coached under Bill Self.

4*BYU +5.5

4*Orlando Magic +3.5

5*Creighton +5.5

5*Iowa State +7.5

5*Harvard +10


Harvard is ranked No. 7 in the nation in half court effciency. My math models supports the underdog in a big way. This game should be decided by 7 points or less.

5*Akron +8

4*Belmont +4.5

5*Vermont +8

5*Lehigh +5

5*Philadelphia 76ers -1


The 76ers lost in Portland by 4 points to the T-Blazers back in December. Philly was just 4-for-17 from beyond the arc, while Portland shot 8-for-23 from 3-point land. Look for those numbers to be somewhat reversed, as the 76ers shoot much better at home than on the road.

4*Wisconsin +6

5*SMU +2


SMU shoots the ball better and they play much better defense than UAB. Wrong team favored. Take SMU!

5*Texas State +4


Texas State will be able to score enough and keep this one very tight.

5*Philadelphia 76ers +2

5*New York Knicks +5


The Knicks match-up well against the Heat and should keep this one close at home on ABC. Take the home dog!

5*Milwaukee Bucks -5

5*Iowa State +1

5*UL Lafayette -1.5

4*Cleveland State +2

5*Golden State Warriors +3

5*Cleveland State +5

5*LSU +1.5

5*Golden State -4.5


The Warriors have lost a season-high four games in a row and now return home were they play much better. Houston put up 140 points on Golden State in that record-breaking 23 3-point FG performance just last week. Houston does not play the same way on the road than at home. Play Golden State!

5*UL Monroe +8

5*Golden State +5.5

5*Milwaukee Bucks +5

5*Toronto Raptors -3

5*Baltimore Ravens +4


The Ravens and 49ers are each playing great Football in all phases of the game. The 49ers defense is allowing 150 yards more per game in the postseason compared to the regular season. I think both teams are evenly matched and will glady take the points. Keep in mind, the lower seeded team has covered the number in 14 out of the past 18 Super Bowls. Quote the Ravens, Nevermore!

Louisville has a big Revenge game on deck against Syracuse. I think the Huskies match-up just fine with the Cardinals. Take the home dog in this spot!
