09-22-18 | NC State v. Marshall +5.5 | 37-20 | Loss | -110 | 57 h 37 m | Show | |
Taking MARSHALL. Will sprinkle some +180 ML on this puppy also. I like the Herd team. A lot of starters back. Could battle for top spot in CUSA East and get into the Championship Game. Have to love a home dog vs Power 5 school. Also playing with revenge. NC State for me is a mid-pack ACC team. Wolfpack defense for me allows us to cover, and even get the outright win. 8* Sure Shot MARSHALL |

09-22-18 | TCU -3 v. Texas | 16-31 | Loss | -105 | 30 h 50 m | Show | |
Taking TCU. I am tossing out Herman's great under dog record. Because Gary Patterson has absolutely owned Texas. 155-33. That isn't a typo. Last 4 games vs Texas, Horned Frogs 155-33. I think this line is a little short. Texas pulled out a big home win over SC. While TCU was undone vs Ohio State with some miscues. Well they take out that frustration on in-state rival and shows the State of Texas where the premier program is. 4* Money Maker TCU HORNED FROGS |

09-22-18 | Louisville v. Virginia -4.5 | Top | 3-27 | Win | 100 | 26 h 56 m | Show |
Taking VIRGINIA as our Top Play. Like this team. Like the coach. Clearly 2 programs going in opposite directions. Petrino at the 'Ville misses Lamar Jackson behind center. I just can't see them really keeping pace with the Cavs. Bronco Mendenhall will have the team focused in revenge mode. Too much offense as Virginia jumps out fast (last week 35-7 3 minutes to go in 2nd Q) and never looks back. 10* Money Bomb VIRGINIA CAVALIERS |
|||||||
09-22-18 | Akron v. Iowa State -18.5 | 13-26 | Loss | -110 | 50 h 58 m | Show | |
Taking IOWA STATE. So a lot of things working here. We Akron off their first Big 10 win beating Northwestern on the road. Back to back roadies vs Power 5 schools. Last year 41-14 Zips lost at home. Riding high after win and thinking they can knock off another Power 5 school? Let-down game after huge victory? What about the Cyclones desperation? Sitting at 0-2, these guys in the all too familiar 'circle the wagon' situation. TCU and Oklahoma State road trips await. You think these guys are looking ahead? They already know their schedule. No way they under estimate Akron here. Especially with them coming in off a win. 4* Money Maker IOWA STATE |
|||||||
09-21-18 | Washington State v. USC -4 | 36-39 | Loss | -106 | 37 h 45 m | Show | |
Taking USC. Said on twitter the other night the send out line on this was USC -15.5. 15.5! SC has looked terrible the last 2 weeks vs Stanford and Texas. Offense sputtering. Getting stuffed at the 1 in that Texas game was really the turning point for me. Up 14-13 and going in, that changes everything. And on the road, that will suck the wind right out of your sails. Wash St comes in averaging 40ppg. But this is a big step up from Eastern Washington. Think the proverbial hot seat is entering the picture for the staff at USC. The good news is that Helton and Co. have won 12 straight at home. And, will be looking for revenge for last years road loss. Desperate team, I'll lay the short number. 4* Money Maker USC TROJANS |
|||||||
09-21-18 | Florida Atlantic +14 v. Central Florida | 36-56 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 45 m | Show | |
Taking FLORIDA ATLANTIC. Well, Lane laid an egg for us way back in Week 1. But I will grab him and his squad as a nice double digit dog tonight. I like UCF. And I think the Heupel hire is solid. But this is still his 3rd game as HC. This is a HUGE game for not only bragging rights of these smaller schools, but has monster ramifications for recruiting the same players. And let's be honest, the way Florida and FSU have fared lately, they can be moving up on the players they are going after. That is a different write up all together. So I like FAU and the points. Just think this is going to be a lot closer than this line. 6-1 ATS as double digit dog for the Lane Train. 4* Money Maker FLORIDA ATLANTIC |
|||||||
09-15-18 | Washington v. Utah +5.5 | 21-7 | Loss | -110 | 59 h 30 m | Show | |
Taking UTAH. Utes have played these guys tough last 2 years. Not thinking much have changed. Tough test again on the road for Washington. They couldn't get it done vs Auburn. Tigers better than these Utes for sure. But a tough conference foe on the road. Not an easy task. Have to grab the home dogs. 4* Money Maker UTAH |
|||||||
09-15-18 | Missouri v. Purdue +6.5 | 40-37 | Win | 100 | 26 h 57 m | Show | |
Taking PURDUE. I know MizzU has revenge for last years loss (35-3). But this is a tough spot. Boilermakers now 0-2 after a terrible loss to Eastern Michigan. 0-2 and desperate. First road game of the year. Plus, Tigers have South Carolina on deck. I have this game as a toss up. So getting this amount of points on the home dog is a big bonus. 4* Money Maker PURDUE BOILERMAKERS |
|||||||
09-15-18 | Alabama -21 v. Ole Miss | 62-7 | Win | 100 | 56 h 34 m | Show | |
Taking ALABAMA. I don't know. I can see this being a 30 point game. Tide can really name the score. I had Bama last year and they rolled these guys. I know that previously, Ole Miss had won 2 of the last 3 before getting demolished last year. I think we can see something like that again tonight. 4* Money Maker ALABAMA |
|||||||
09-15-18 | Houston v. Texas Tech +1.5 | 49-63 | Win | 100 | 53 h 2 m | Show | |
Taking TEXAS TECH. Not sure why all the love on Houston. This team really has only a few good games under their belt. Both HCs, for me, are on the proverbial 'hot seat'. Maybe a bit more at TT. I think this could be a back and forth affair. I will back the Red Raiders. 4* Money Maker TEXAS TECH |
|||||||
09-15-18 | North Texas +7 v. Arkansas | Top | 44-17 | Win | 100 | 53 h 54 m | Show |
Taking NORTH TEXAS. Like this little squad. Arkansas blew a 27-9 lead last week. Will have their hands full with a Fine QB for NT. Mean Green should be able to put up some passing yards with the best QB in conference. Enough points for us to easily back NT. 8* Sure Shot NORTH TEXAS |
|||||||
09-15-18 | Boise State +2.5 v. Oklahoma State | 21-44 | Loss | -105 | 53 h 12 m | Show | |
Taking BOISE here. Will grab the small points with the dog. I know a lot of times I am grabbing MLs at 3 or less. But I can see this one really coming down to something late. For me, the Boise defense is the difference maker. 10 guys back on that side of the ball. Cowboys always tough at home, especially when you see this short number. But a new QB behind center, vs a team that is always tough. Again. Comes down to someone making a stop. And I am betting on the road dogs to come through. 4* Money Maker BOISE STATE |
|||||||
09-15-18 | LSU v. Auburn -10 | Top | 22-21 | Loss | -100 | 25 h 23 m | Show |
Taking AUBURN today. Look. I had LSU on the ML over the Hurricanes. But I am laying it and expecting a 15-20 point win Saturday afternoon. Right off the bat - Huge revenge spot for us blowing 20-0 lead last year. Home team on a 16-2 SU and 13-4-1 ATS run. LSU still has some QB issues. Do we really think they are coming in here and winning? Because, if I am taking a dog, I think it wins outright. I don't think the back door will be in play here. Guess people forget that Auburn smacked both Georgia and Alabama when they were ranked #1 on this field. This is a good Tigers team. 10* Money Bomb AUBURN TIGERS |
|||||||
09-15-18 | Ohio +3.5 v. Virginia | Top | 31-45 | Loss | -110 | 51 h 21 m | Show |
Taking OHIO here. Nearly made this a ML play. I have Ohio as the best in MAC East. I know Virginia isn't a sexy big school, but for the MAC, it's a big game. Off their bye week, I expect them to be more than ready to hang with this ACC team. Now. We did cash backing Virginia last week. But in this spot, game being played in Vandy's Stadium with Hurricane in town. I can't think they are fully focused here. As much as they need this win, I think Ohio is the hungrier team with less on their plate right now. Bobcats can stop this run game and force Perkins to beat them with his arm which he hasn't shown much consistency in doing. Solich is a solid mid-major coach and has pulled some upsets out of his hat before. 5* Best Bet OHIO BOBCATS |
|||||||
09-15-18 | Georgia Tech v. Pittsburgh +4 | 19-24 | Win | 100 | 51 h 32 m | Show | |
Taking PITT. Almost went ML here. I'll grab the home dogs off a rough game as they were humbled by in state big brother, Penn State. G-Tech defense for me is why I lean on the homers. Don't see them making a key stop along the way. A little revenge on tap at Heinz today. 4* Money Maker PITT PANTHERS |
|||||||
09-13-18 | Boston College v. Wake Forest +5 | 41-34 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 1 m | Show | |
Taking WAKE here. There is a lot of love coming down on BC. And I get it. I like their HC. They are in a revenge spot from last years game. Hurricane approaching so maybe Wake isn't 100% focused on football. But the Eagles are not a good bet covering the number as a fave. They thrive more in a dog role when nobody is counting on them. Might be looking to pull the trigger on the Under 55.5 here. If the winds start picking up early and heavy rains come into play. 4* Money Maker WAKE FOREST |
|||||||
09-08-18 | Rice +17.5 v. Hawaii | 29-43 | Win | 100 | 38 h 33 m | Show | |
Taking RICE. Hawaii rewarding backers with a pair of big wins. But this line is inflated in my eyes. Have to grab the points. Simple as that. Can't give up free points. 4* Money Maker RICE OWLS |
|||||||
09-08-18 | Virginia +7 v. Indiana | 16-20 | Win | 100 | 33 h 17 m | Show | |
Taking VIRGINIA. Again, a game I will sprinkle some ML +205. I'm a Bronco fan. Think he is a good coach. He has 8 starters back on D. Which will help against the Hoosiers who have 7 back on offense. I do think Indiana could be a bowl team this year. But, I have to grab the points with the visitor. VA with revenge for last years lost. I think if they can pound the ball and control things, they can pull out the outright win. 4* Money Maker VIRGINIA |

09-08-18 | Iowa State +4 v. Iowa | 3-13 | Loss | -101 | 31 h 59 m | Show | |
Taking IOWA STATE. Grabbing a little ML +160 also. Tough in-state battle. Give me the points. ISU has covered 8 of 10 here. Like our QB better than theirs. Stanley for Iowa barely getting over 100 yards. I looked at that game and thought NI would show up. After looking at the roster, they had same holes to fill. Tough to do vs a Big 10 school. But a Big 12 program, and a bitter in-state rival. Well this screams upset to me. 4* Money Maker IOWA STATE |
|||||||
09-08-18 | Colorado +4 v. Nebraska | 33-28 | Win | 100 | 30 h 39 m | Show | |
Taking COLORADO. Nebraska hasn't played yet. I like the Frost hire. But this is a tough spot for an opening game. True frosh starting at QB. This line also looks a little short in my eyes. Might sprinkle some ML also. Buffs young, but I think there was so much work to do at Nebraska, this is a pretty even match-up talent wise. 4* Money Maker COLORADO |

Taking DUKE. Duke rolled these guys last year. We can say, oh revenge at home for Northwestern. And we had these guys last week. But we also watched them not score a point in the 2nd half after putting up 31 in the first half. Not sure this veteran Duke team turns it over 3 times to help the cause. 4* Money Maker DUKE BLUE DEVILS |

09-08-18 | Georgia Tech v. South Florida +3.5 | 38-49 | Win | 100 | 27 h 53 m | Show | |
Taking SOUTH FLORIDA. I'll even dabble in the +150 ML here. I know we are breaking in a new QB. But I will back the home dog here. Both teams in off easy wins. South Florida has some cupcakes on deck. G-Tech has a bigger game vs Pitt on deck. Maybe it is because I am a Charlie Strong fan. Even losing a bunch of talent, I feel that here in Year 2, he has enough to knock off a bigger school. 4* Money Maker SOUTH FLORIDA |

09-08-18 | Arizona +3.5 v. Houston | 18-45 | Loss | -105 | 26 h 39 m | Show | |

|||||||
09-07-18 | TCU -22 v. SMU | 42-12 | Win | 100 | 12 h 18 m | Show | |
Taking TCU. Just can't get behind SMU at any price. Sonny Dykes? I guess you think he was an OC for the Frogs and might know some ins and outs. But I am not buying that angle tonight. SMU was down 36-0 before scoring vs North Texas last week. TCU isn't taking their foot off the gas. Is 52-20 really that far fetched? Last year, I had SMU and the points on the road and was rewarded with a cover. Actually had an early 19-7 lead before TCU poured it on. So we won't be taking this team for granted. 4* Money Maker TCU |
|||||||
09-03-18 | Virginia Tech +7.5 v. Florida State | Top | 24-3 | Win | 100 | 150 h 50 m | Show |
Taking VIRGINIA TECH. I think FSU is a very good program. But I think they start a little slow tonight. Might take a game or 2 to get things flowing in real time under new HC Willie Taggart. This guy could have a QB problem depending on how things go. VT had all summer to get ready for the Noles. I think they can keep this close and have a shot at an outright upset if things go to plan and they get a turnover or 2. 5* Best Bet VIRGINIA TECH |

High on this team... 9 starters back on O, 7 on D. -- Liberty making the jump from FCS. They did beat Baylor last year. But lets not get to excited. Coastal Carolina, who was 10-3 their last year in FCS went 3-9 their first year with the big boys. Liberty was 6-5 last year. Not sure what to expect from Turner Gill who stunk up Kansas in his last gig on the big stage. 4* Money Maker OLD DOMINION |

09-01-18 | Texas State +16.5 v. Rutgers | 7-35 | Loss | -110 | 94 h 9 m | Show | |
Taking TEXAS STATE. So. Both teams with young QB. If this was really any other Big 10 school, or Rutgers had a junior or senior behind center, I would be on the home team. Wins will be tough to come by for both clubs. At Ohio State for Rutgers next as Chris Ash heads back to his coordinator days. But this team can't look ahead. I just don't think they are going to be very good this year. My son plays on a football team with the brother of a Rutgers player. The dad has echoed my same concerns about QB play. But also just about many Rutgers players not being on the physical level as their Big 10 counterparts. Texas State won't be confused with Texas or TCU or even SMU. But it is Year 3 of HC Withers run. I think they can keep it close. 4* Money Maker TEXAS STATE |
|||||||
09-01-18 | Texas -13.5 v. Maryland | 29-34 | Loss | -110 | 48 h 32 m | Show | |
Taking TEXAS. I am sure the Longhorns staff had this game circled since Week 2 of last year. Big game for Texas. A lot of off-field distractions for the Terps. This isn't even a real 'home' game as it is played at Fed Ex field. 4* Money Maker TEXAS LONGHORNS |

09-01-18 | Florida Atlantic +21 v. Oklahoma | Top | 14-63 | Loss | -110 | 47 h 17 m | Show |
Taking FLORIDA ATLANTIC. Have to grab the big points with Lane's squad. CUSA Champs this year. Have to be thought of as the top program with Marshall on their heels. This is a huge game for them. As a small, mid-major conference team, they have to show they can play with the big boys. Sooners breaking in a new QB and always a bit shaky on defense. I like that last year on the road, they lost to Wiscy 33-14. That is a tough venue and tough team to play. Shows me they won't be intimidated. Defense has 10 starters back which is huge to me getting this many points. Can't discount the fact that FAU new starting QB is a Sooners transfer. As if he needs more motivation for his first of the year. 8* Sure Shot FLORIDA ATLANTIC |
|||||||
08-31-18 | Western Kentucky v. Wisconsin -35.5 | 3-34 | Loss | -106 | 80 h 48 m | Show | |
Taking WISCONSIN tonight. Going to lay the big, big wood in this spot. I think Wiscy can quietly win the Big 10. Lot of drama around Ohio State. Michigan hasn't won a big game under Harbaugh. Nebraska is not ready for the big leap. Michigan State has struggled. This team just always seems to be in the mix. They get a Western Kentucky team that did win the CUSA in 2015 and 2016. But they lose their starting QB. Just 3 offensive starters back. Opening up in Madison is tough for any school. 2nd year HC Mike Sanford will have some more growing pains this season. Badgers should win the West in the Big 10. Should be able to name the score behind this offense tonight. 4* Money Maker WISCONSIN BADGERS |

Taking TULANE. So the early line on this was +13. That would have been a really nice home dog to bark at. But this is still a good number. I nearly made this a ML on the sites and will be looking for +200 in Jersey Sports Books this week. Wake breaking in a new starter behind center. Never an easy task. Green Wave bring back their QB, 2 top WRs, and a 800 yard back. 4* Money Maker TULANE GREEN WAVE |
|||||||
08-30-18 | Central Florida -23.5 v. Connecticut | 56-17 | Win | 100 | 24 h 16 m | Show | |
Taking UCF - Yeah. tough laying this on the road, especially with a new HC running the show. But this still is a very explosive offense. And UConn only brings back 2 starters on the defensive side of the ball. How about UCF saying they are National Champs last year after going undefeated. These guys don't lack any swagger. I expect them to come out fast to prove to people they are just as good as last year and need respect from voters. 4* Money Maker UCF |
|||||||
01-08-18 | Alabama -4 v. Georgia | Top | 26-23 | Loss | -105 | 144 h 41 m | Show |
Taking ALABAMA tonight. So. Tide is the team that shouldn't have been playing say a lot of people. Even though as the 4 seed they were to be favored over every other team in the playoffs, and the country for that matter. It is easy to say that the only real team Alabama played, Auburn, beat them. And then you Auburn beating what was the #1 Alabama and then #1 Georgia before falling to Georgia in the SEC Championship. But this Bama team was #1 for nearly all season for a reason. Just like they are favored over every team for a reason. Again, they have been dogs exactly once since 2010. A 1.5 to these same Georgia Bulldogs in 2015. Crimson Tide rolled to a 38-10 win. We know what to expect from Alabama. I thought they would cruise to a relatively easy win over Clemson and they did. I think the Clemson defense is as good, or better than Georgia's. Now. Is Baker Mayfield and the Sooner offense better than the Tide. Absolutely. But they pasted this defense for 48 points. And really, they should have won. And I am not saying that as a guy who had the Sooners. Their 1st year HC Riley really wet the bed when it mattered most. Kirby Smart is an old Bama assistant. Well, Saban is 11-0 winning with an average score of 38-10 over his old coaches. 427-111 in those 11 games Tide have outscored Tennessee (Dooley) , Colorado State (McElwain), Florida (Muschamp)+ (McElwain), Florida State (Jimbo) , and Michigan State (Dantonio. I am not expecting some wild game like that. I think this is going to be more along the lines of Bama/LSU, Auburn/ Oregon than the last 3 playoffs where we saw at least 60 scored in each game. These are really 2 of the same molded programs. But I am backing the teacher over the student. 5* Best Bet ALABAMA |
|||||||
01-01-18 | Alabama -3 v. Clemson | Top | 24-6 | Win | 100 | 71 h 54 m | Show |
Taking ALABAMA. So here we are. 3rd times a charm right. Who takes the crown? I had Clemson ML last year. Had Alabama minus points the year before. Back to the Tide. Look. All I heard coming into the playoff selection was how Bama didn't play anyone. Lost to the only good team they played. Didn't deserve to be here. Forget the fact they were ranked #1 all year long. You don't think Saban uses this crap to motivate. Hard to motivate when you have been favored in 50 straight games or whatever it is. Well. After I typed that I went all the back to the 2010 season. 1 game. They were a 1.5pt dog at Georgia in 2015. They won 38-10. These guys are healthy. The defenses might offset. But Bama offense has the edge. They aren't facing Watson who carved them up. Heck, we saw what he did in his brief NFL stint. No. They get Kelly Bryant. 13 TDs 6 INTs on the year. In the 2 previous Championships, we saw 76-75, Bama by 1. That was with Watson. As good as Clemson is. I can't sit here and think they are that good right now. I know you will here about their great bowl run the last few years. We aren't laying 6.5 like the previous 2 years. It's a FG. And I am in on the Tide. 8* Sure Shot ALABAMA |

12-30-17 | Wisconsin v. Miami-FL +6 | 34-24 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 50 m | Show | |
Taking MIAMI tonight. Almost want to go +200 on ML. But we'll grab the points. Now. I still think The U is a year from really being a top program again. Richt can coach and recruit. Have to like them in the home dog role. We have seen them demolish Va Tech and ND on this field. They have pulled some magic out of the rear-ends this year in last second wins over FSU and G-Tech. Plus, that crazy turnover chain! Everyone always sleeps on Wiscy. All they do is churn out 10 win seasons so we can't overlook them. But the points are too good to pass up. 4* Money Maker MIAMI HURRICANES |

12-30-17 | Iowa State +4.5 v. Memphis | 21-20 | Win | 100 | 38 h 36 m | Show | |
Taking the POINTS with IOWA STATE. These guys went into Oklahoma and won. They win ugly. They lose ugly. They can play defense. They can put up points on offense. This is a scrappy bunch. This is a home game for Memphis and it looks a bit low to me. They do have some trouble slowing teams down, even if they march up and down putting their own points on the board. But the Cyclones won't be shocked. They see Big 12 spread offensives all the time. I think their defense can do enough to maybe pull out the outright this afternoon. 4* Money Maker IOWA STATE |
|||||||
12-30-17 | Louisville -6.5 v. Mississippi State | Top | 27-31 | Loss | -115 | 63 h 52 m | Show |
Taking LOUISVILLE here. Big edge for the Cards. First, the coach. Plenty of bowls under his belt. Miss State HC left for greener pastures. Second. QBs. Last year's Heisman who had a pretty good follow up season, in his last college game. For the Miss State, their season starter lost for the year in Egg Bowl vs Ole Miss. I just think this lines up with a lot of positives for UL. Like I said - Mullen to the Gators. No Fitzgerald. Tough to overcome a UL team looking to make up for last years 29-9 loss to LSU, another SEC team. No lack of focus as their QB is looking to go out on a high note. 8* Sure Shot LOUISVILLE |

Taking USC. You can grab the points, but we will grab the +250 for a nicer payday. I know everyone is talking about OSU snub. But how do you think SC feels? These guys have similar resumes. But OSU was trucked by Iowa allow 50+ to a 6 loss team. At least getting pummeled on the road in South Bend isn't as ugly. SC is 20-2 with Denard under center. 4* Money Maker USC |

12-28-17 | Michigan State +1 v. Washington State | Top | 42-17 | Win | 100 | 47 h 57 m | Show |
Taking MICHIGAN STATE. Now. I will say that I was looking at Washington State. They lose their top 2 WRs for the game. Not that should matter since they have other players with 30+ catches. What really flipped me to Sparty is 1 - The coaches. Does anyone really have faith in Mike Leach? He tossed his hat into the ring of HC openings. Who knows if he was serious. But the coaches under maybe raised an eyebrow. Freshened up resumes. Dantonio, I know, will bring his A game. Dude got into with Michigan HC over the bowls. This team will come out angry with something to prove. 17-4 ATS 14 outright wins in Dantonio's last 21 listed as dogs. Now. This opened with Wash State as a the fave. Now it is a pk or even MSU favored. Either way, Sparty is the play. 8* Sure Shot MICHIGAN STATE |

Rudolph will score on this defense. I think 10 wins is big for the club. They have a chance to win back to back bowl games. No way that VT has the offense to trade punches. And let's not get wrapped up in the Hokie defense. 21st best passing defense? Who have they faced that runs a similar offense? West Va in Week 1? Remember that the ACC replaced a couple QBs this year. Watson, Trubisky, Kaaya, Peterman. I won't bore you with their schedule. But beating Old Dom and ECU by big numbers isn't all that impressive. They scored more than 24 in 1 ACC game this year. They didn't even face the best ACC passing teams. I think that the big play ability of the Cowboys is a big difference maker this afternoon. 4* Money Maker OKLAHOMA STATE |

Taking MISSOURI. We already are on the over in this game. I am just thinking that the Tigers are just playing that much better. Texas barely got here. They get up for 'bigger' named teams. I think Missouri puts up 40+. As long as the Longhorns get off the bus, both side and total should cash easily. But we have seen some duds so far. As we rolled with FAU and La Tech, teams scoring 50, but both games went under. (We didn't have sides in either game) But I would hate this one to end up 44-13 and kick myself for not being on the team I believe is going to cover. 5* Best Bet MISSOURI |

Grabbing SOUTHERN MISS and all the points today. How can we not take this dog? I love to gamble as much as the next guy, and the ML +510 or whatever seems inviting. But instead, I will just play the points. First. Basic handicapping brings us to the motivation factor. FSU was a team many thought would be in the Playoffs. You lose your QB and it is all down hill to a 6-6 season just to make this bowl to keep a streak alive. Their HC bolts to Texas A&M. Their defensive leader is sitting out. For Southern Miss, this is a Super Bowl. A chance to beat Florida State. You know their players won't be just going through the motions which could be the case on the other side of the field. 4* Money Maker SOUTHERN MISS |

Taking SAN DIEGO STATE here. I know you worry about option running offenses. Normally, it is a team you take the points with they step up in class against a bigger school. But let's not forget that Rocky Long has seen this offense plenty. Air Force and New Mexico have the same run game. Aztecs defense gave up just 502 yards in those 2 games this year. Now SDST doesn't thrill you out of the stadium with their offense. But in RB Penny, they have a guy who can explode for us. Guy is a beast and will go over 2000 yards in this game. The defense should be the difference for us covering this number. 5* Best Bet SAN DIEGO STATE |

Taking FLORIDA ATLANTIC. Yeah. I will lay 3+ TDs with Lane. The guy is a kook and a total follow on Twitter trolling old teams and coaches. So we get an extra home game with the Owl. Let's be honest. They can write their own score in. I am expecting at least 50. Lane will love to run it up here. You know he is looking for his next job already. Akron out of the MAC is miserable on defense. This is an average team like what FAU beat up all year in CUSA. Do we forget Akron down 38-0 in the 3rd in MAC Championship Game before Toledo called off the dogs for an unlikely back door cover (45-28)? Owls 9th in scoring just under 40 game. If this was another year, or some other team, I would be worried about motivation. But FAU has won 3 games each of the last 3 years. The home fans will be pumped to come see them roll to a Bowl Win. 8* Sure Shot FAU |

12-16-17 | Oregon v. Boise State +8 | 28-38 | Win | 100 | 236 h 10 m | Show | |
============ BUY OFF OF THIS +++ NO PLAY === Taking BOISE. This was a spot I was looking at even before the Ducks lost their coach. But now that Taggert is heading to FSU, we will officially jump on Boise. Will even sprinkle in some ML +260 - We have Mountain West vs big brother PAC 12. This wasn't an old-school Boise team, but they won 10 games. Most times I am heading to the other team when I see the proverbial 'ranked' team catching points from an unranked opponent. But here we see a PAC 12 team favored over the smaller school. Even a down year 7 win Ducks team has more talent across the roster. I just look at this as a good spot to play on the dogs though. Where is the motivation for Oregon? Hey, we are in the Las Vegas Bowl! I think people forget that Chip Kelly left these guys with a 3 year reduction of scholarships. That just ended. This isn't 2014 with Mariota in the Rose Bowl for the Championship. Those were Chip's recruits. I think Helfrich did a crap job recruiting. They were 4-8 in his last year, and just 7-5 with Taggart this year. As good as this job is with everything Nike, this is not the spot to be playing on TD+ favorites. Give me the hungry dog looking to take down the big name. 4* Money Maker BOISE |

Taking WISCONSIN. Well. We can grab the 6.5 or 7, but I am more interested in the +220 ML play. How they heck aren't these guys chomping at the bit to come out and attack Ohio State. Undefeated Big 10 team. Holy Cow. If this was Michigan or Ohio State, forget about it. They would be the #1 seed in the playoffs. But, it's the Badgers. Ho-hum. You can't ask for a better disrespect card to be played. I can't blame you for leaning OSU. Urban Meyer championship games have a knack for scoring a W. But I have seen Bucky lose at home to Oklahoma. I saw them rally to an improbable win over Penn State at home. I saw them, gassed from said win, get absolutely trucked at Iowa. Then come out and totally pound Michigan State into submission after that loss. So who shows up? Not that the 59-0 absolute beat-down OSU gave Wiscy in the 2014 Big 10 Championship Game have any ramifications. But rest assured, oh some old Badger players made the rounds and are looking for a pound of flesh in the revenge world. You look at this Wiscy schedule and see nothing sexy or flashing. Just win after win after win. I will tell you on Sunday night, I said to myself. Yeah, OSU as a TD fave. Should get their. Too much talent. But, the game isn't played on paper. I'll take my ML shot tonight. 4* Money Maker WISCONSIN |

Taking FRESNO. A quick rematch off of last week's Fresno win. 28-17 doggy outright. What has changed? I think this guys are pretty equal teams. And more importantly for me. The famed 'Smurf Turf' has lost its luster. Boise 3-12 ATS last 15 at home. Maybe this is a huge square play I am getting reeled in on. But I'm biting on the dog anyway. 4* Money Maker FRESNO STATE |

12-02-17 | Miami-FL v. CLEMSON -9.5 | Top | 3-38 | Win | 100 | 96 h 44 m | Show |
Taking CLEMSON tonight. Let's start with the Tigers and their 5-1 SU post-season record the last 2 years. Experience. Depth. Those two things alone vault us to a 10pt edge over the Canes. And I'm a U fan. Believe me. I hope that Mark Richt can bring back the glory days of Miami past. But this team is not talented enough to play in this spot. 10-1 is a great year. But really. These guys pulled out some miracles. We faded and played on them in key spots. They have been up and down all year. They bring the show for the marquee teams. Florida State, Va Tech, ND. 2 convincing wins, but a last second one over FSU. How about that win over GT? Or the play down to Syracuse and NC. Again. I just don't think Miami has the horses for Clemson. This is the Tigers 5th ACC Championship Game. The first for the Hurricanes. Tigers have been a top recruiting team for years and Dabo just reloads. With Bama out of the picture, Clemson is the marquee football school. Not Ohio State. This is the 11th straight game week for The U. Clemson had a bye in mid-October. They scheduled a cake walk in mid-November 61-3. The jumped out to a 34-0 lead before South Carolina got a FG on the board in the 4th quarter. This team is rested and focused. Oh, it won't be 58-0 like 2015 when the Tigers mauled Miami on the road. But this should be at least a 14-17pt win for Clemson. 10* Money Bomb CLEMSON TIGERS |

Taking AUBURN. Well. We had Auburn over these guys when the first met. We had Auburn ML last week over Alabama. And will get behind them again as they ride into the Playoffs. I said in August I thought the winner of the Iron Bowl wins the SEC. Not changing now. I know Georgia had a great year. But I don't trust them in this spot. I can't harp on them for their Clemson loss. And I think they learned a valuable lesson up 20-0 in the 2nd quarter before letting LSU claw their way back to a late victory. That kind of loss stays with you and eats at your insides. They have been on a mission since with winning margins of 32, 15 (both on road), 40-17 over this Georgia team, 28, and last weeks 26-14 win over Alabama. Is a true frosh QB ready for this kind of game even with a big revenge angle in his favor? 4* Money Maker AUBURN TIGERS |

Taking OKLAHOMA. I'll tell you what it really comes down to for me. I know that TCU is the prime defense in the Big 12. But this Sooners offense has been pretty good. We know that Baker Mayfield can move the ball on the Horned Frogs. Do you have that kind of faith in Kenny Hill? I sure don't. 2 years ago it was 49-24 Sooners heading to the fourth quarter. Don't be fooled by a 52-49 final. 64 and 74 yard TD passes for Hill. I know Sooners defense is leaky. But it can be when you have a QB with 37 TDs and just 5 INTs. 8* Sure Shot OKLAHOMA SOONERS |

Taking USC here in the PAC 12 Championship. This is it. Pretty simple thinking for me. Forget the fact that the Trojans beat these guys 42-24 back in September. What really jumps out for me on SC is this. They are off a bye. How huge is this in December! After 12 straight games, a 10-2 record and 4 game win streak, Trojans should have an edge tonight. Stanford in off 38-20 thrashing of Notre Dame. But that game was 20-17 heading into the fourth quarter before 3 Cardinal TDs. Love is a beast RB. Again. I saw USC have 2 RBs go for over 100 vs Stanford when they first met. Plus I saw SC QB toss for 300+ yards while Stanford went for 160. A near 20pt win and your QB has 2 INTs. You take away a 75 yard run for Love and that 160 drops to 85. SC hasn't won the PAC 12 since 2008! Stanford has won it 3 times since then. I know Darnold and the offense is a bit turnover prone. But this is a short number. I can't under-value the extra prep + rest for USC. 5* Best Bet USC TROJANS |

And one is laying double digits. What I really like for us in that we are coming in off a bye week. Extra time to prep for hated in-state rival? What's not to like?

Not sure where the motivation is as they sit at 4-6. BC looking to get to 7 wins which guarantees them a winning record regardless of bowl outcome. Syracuse has won the last 2 years in the series, so I think BC gets their revenge. 5* Best Bet BOSTON COLLEGE |

Taking OHIO STATE early today. So. Somehow, people in Columbus think that the Buckeyes can still get into the Playoffs. Not really sure how that happens. But rest assured OSU has the offense to cover this number vs Michigan. I know the Wolverines bring a defense every week. And taking a double digit home dog with the better defense is normally a recipe for success. But I can't back this Michigan team. The offense is just terrible. Last game on the road OSU was ripped 55-24 by Iowa. No way in God's green Earth does Meyer have these guys unfocused or prepared this afternoon. Especially against Harbaugh. Since that Iowa loss, 102-17 Buckeyes. Michigan might be within 10 at half. But I expect OSU to pull away and cover this fairly easily. 4* Money Maker OHIO STATE |

No such problems like that in Texas. New guy has this team believing. A win here clinches their first winning season since 2013. I'll tell you what. This Longhorns team has suffered for a few years.

Taking VIRGINIA here. Nearly went ML +220 in this spot. We cashed with them as big dogs last week at Miami. This is a pretty decent team we have as home pups. VT has won 13 straight in the series. 52-10 last year. But I think we are in position to not only cover, but get some revenge. If we take out the 10 TDs that VT QB has thrown vs Old Dom , ECU and Delaware, he has thrown 7 in ACC games. And 2 of those games he had ZERO TD passes. I think Cavs can pull this out. 4* Money Maker VIRGINIA |

Taking AKRON here. Yep. Laying the big number. But a win here, and the Zips lock up a spot in the MAC Championship Game. Kent has lost 4 straight. In those games, they have given up 42-48-44-48. They have 1 win in MAC play. 0-6 on the road. In the 2 games they 'covered' they lost 24-3 getting 23 and 42-3 getting 42. So, safe to say this should be a 20pt win for a game that means everything the home team and the visitor just wants to get to mom's house for Thanksgiving dinner. 5* Best Bet AKRON ZIPS |

Taking VIRGINIA here. So this Miami team is still undefeated. Off a complete and utter domination of Notre Dame. I had faded the U against Va Tech and it bit me in the butt. I will do it again. Let us recap this roller coaster season so far. They have had 2 last second wins over Florida State and Georgia Tech. An obvious let down spot in a battle vs Syracuse, who, is surprisingly covering 5 in row as dogs before getting blasted by Wake. They really played down vs NC. Then they come out and smoke Va Tech and the Irish from jump street. They have no real look ahead with a trip to Pitt on deck. But lets be honest. They are near 20pt faves. Maybe they are a bit cocky with their freshly minted spot in the Playoff Bracket. Like I said. Off arguably their 2 best games. Short week coming up vs Pitt. They have an ACC Championship Game locked up. It really comes down them vs Clemson to see who gets a playoff spot. So I can see a flat spot this afternoon. 4* Money Maker VIRGINIA |

Taking MEMPHIS here. Well, I don't like laying double digits with any team. But I think we still rate a nice edge. Memphis off their bye. Memphis has won the last 3 51-7, 63-0 and 48-10. I can see what you are thinking.. Oh revenge angle, huge. Now, the first 2 games, Memphis was favored by 20 and 22. Last year -3 on the road. Now 12. Look I do like the Mustangs. Nearly played them last week. But they are finishing up a tough run here. So back to back vs a team off their bye. While they faced Navy in a thrilling 43-40 last second loss. Down 34-11 and coming back to tie with 3 minutes left to lose as the clock hits 0. Tough one. That takes a bit out of you. A week before, you lose a back and forth 31-24 battle to undefeated Central Florida. How about that 38-34 comeback win over Tulsa before that. Or that 31-28 OT win over Cincy before that. I am not saying teams don't play close games. But there is a spot where you pull a clunker. SMU is bowl eligible. They wrap up their season with a winnable home game vs Tulane next. 7-4 is a nice year. 5* Best Bet MEMPHIS |

Toledo will look to take out some frustration and get back on track. I know this is their 3rd road game in 4 weeks, but it is a cupcake. BG has given up 38-48-48 their last 3 losses. Take out the 2 games vs MAC elites Ohio and Northern Illinois, and Toledo has tallied 58-48 their 2 games vs lesser MAC teams. Rockets with the top offense in the MAC and just outside the Top 10 nationally. Bowling Green, a terrible defensive team, last in MAC play and 125 out of 129 teams overall giving up over 500 yards a game. I'll lay it as Toledo looks to lock up a rematch in the MAC Championship vs Ohio. 5* Best Bet TOLEDO ROCKETS |

They have been rolling lately putting up 38-45-48-48 last 4 games. These 2 played to a 9-3 clunker nearly a year ago. I can't see the Zips keeping pace with Ohio who is putting up over 40ppg on the season. And let's be honest. They can't over look Akron.

Not so fast my friend. Yes. TCU has allowed 7-7-0-6 points in their last 4 games. Put all those 4 offenses together and you won't get the Sooners. TCU won at Ok State 44-31 in a game that will be very similar to this. We know that Oklahoma can't make a stop on defense. But there hasn't been many times they have been stopped on offense. But for our money, we are not backing Kenny Hill over Baker Mayfield. 5* Best Bet OKLAHOMA |

Absolute nonsense in Tennessee right now. Both teams need wins for a bowl bid. I just think that even off a win, the Vols are mailing it in. Tigers have been an offense machine the last few weeks. 45-52-68 run vs Florida, Uconn and Idaho. Not a murderer's row, but enough to build some confidence.

And I still think they play with a chip on their shoulder tonight. How do you motivated guys who have won and played in National Championship Games? You gotta fire them up. Bama didn't look to interested going through the motions vs LSU. They were actually out-rushed.

Taking BC here. Eagles won 21-14 last year on the road scoring with just under 5 minutes left in the game. Easy to think to lay the number with 'ranked' NC State. But, State off ND and Clemson. Now BC is in off their bye. But before that, we saw them put up 45 in a win at Louisville. Follow that up with another road win at Virginia 41-10 with no let down in site. And for good measure come home and humiliate Florida State 35-3. It could be said that maybe BC is getting fat, and will think we beat FSU, we can beat NCST. If it was the next game, I could see that. But the Eagles get their bye. They are rested from that 3 game run of putting up 121 points. These guys still playing solid defense. They have just found some offense to make them that much tough. Home puppy bites. 4* Money Maker BOSTON COLLEGE |

Taking NORTHERN ILLINOIS here. Absolutely not a fan of laying 32 and backing huge faves like this is not good for our bankroll for the long haul. But a nice spot play and I believe we still have value even at nearly 5 TDs. So last we saw NIU they were losing in MACtion to Toledo 27-17 last week. Same day we saw Ball State get trucked 56-14 by Eastern Michigan. That was on the heels of their 58-17 home loss to Toledo. Ball State has lost in conference play by 52-28-47-31-42 points. Huskies with the best defense in the MAC. They lead the MAC in sacks and Ball St has allowed 20 their last 5 games. A win and NIU is bowl eligible.

Have to side with the home pups. Think the extra rest helps us pull out the late win. 4* Money Maker OHIO BOBCATS |
