4* Money Maker GREEN BAY PACKERS

4* Total Money UNDER Chiefs/ Packers

Taking SAN FRAN. Just a better team right now. I know Philly just wins games. But this is a tough run for them. KC - Buff - SF - Dallas next week. They have played with fire all season. Jets caught them. They will get caught again. Why not against a team in a huge Championship Revenge spot? 4* Money Maker SAN FRANCISCO 49ers

Taking the RAMS. Joe Flacco. Come on. This is spot for Stats Padford, Pad Statsford, I mean Matt Staford to do just that. Browns in b2b road spots. Off loss in Denver. We had Denver in that spot with Cleveland off b2b division wins over the Steelers and Ravens. Just not a good spot for them here.4* Money Maker LA RAMS

Taking the PANTHERS. I am not a lover of Carolina, but there is not a chance I lay points with Tampa. Panthers have been flat out awful on offense. This is just one of those spots where I have to hold my nose and play the ugly dog. 10-10-13-13-15 points for them. Yet Tampa can't be favored by at least a TD? At least this team looks like it can win an NFL game twice a month. I won't be shocked if Carolina wins outright. Something just screams to be to grab Panthers. 4* Money Maker CAROLINA PANTHERS

Taking the STEELERS. Finally some offense from Pitt as they can Matt Canada. They still couldn't punch it in the end zone though. But we know that the Steelers will bring defense and Tomlin gets the most out of least. Zero chance I even look to Arizona. 9 straight road losses for the Cardinals. 4* Money Maker PITTSBURGH STEELERS

Taking the CHARGERS. Uh. Not that I ever want to lay points with the Chargers. Just two weeks ago I was in Mid Day Money and telling you to take the Packers at home. Now we get LAC off an bad loss on SNF. But, we get the Patriots off an even worse loss. And I really have to say, I was going to take NE here. I just can't. If that is the effort out of the bye week, it is officially over for this team. Not going to overthink. Patriots have some serious issues. Grab some Herbert Over Rushing 15.5 yards too. 4* Money Maker LA CHARGERS

Taking the J E T S Jets Jets Jets. There is zero chance I am taking the Falcons vs any team as a road favorite. Lost at Arizona as a fave 25-23. Lost at Tennessee as a fave 28-23. Lost at Detroit 20-6. Lost at the Jags 23-7. Beat the Titans 16-13. So in a game between 2 teams that have trouble scoring, give me the home dogs. 4* Money Maker NEW YORK JETS

Taking MIAMI. Dolphins should be able to do what Dallas did last week to Washington. This Washington team is a hot mess. I think they have officially quit on the season. Trade some guys. Fire the DC. Get run out of the building. How are they staying within 10 here? They aren't. 4* Money Maker MIAMI DOLPHINS

  Taking the COLTS. I do like the Titans coach. But Indy just seems to be in a groove right now. Only time these guys haven't score at least 20 was when they played in England. So we know the Colts will score here. Will the Titans? They have been know to explode at home at times. 27 vs LAC, 27 vs Cincy. 28 vs Atlanta. But I am not buying it. The first 2 with Tannehill. The other was the Levi breakout. Everything seems to be lining up for Indy right now. 4* Money Maker INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

Taking GEORGIA. 29 straight for the Champs with their last loss to this Alabama bunch in the 2021 SEC Championship Game. I am not going to really overthink things here. George offense is very good. Alabama defense has shown it's flaws. Yes. Tide with 10 straight wins since that Texas loss. But. We saw them scuffle 17-3 at South Florida. We saw them down 7-6 at half vs Ole Miss. Down 17-10 on the road at A&M. A 24-21 win vs Arkansas. Down 20-7 to the Vols at home. Outlasting LSU. The miracle vs Auburn. We heard the early talk of a lack luster Georgia team. They have pretty much put that to sleep. Don't make a big deal out of a 31-23 win over Georgia Tech. That games 31-13 with the Bulldogs going through the motions. Nothing like Alabama. Tide defense just not there for me to think they slow down George. 4* Money Maker GEORGIA BULLDOGS

4* Total Money OVER Georgia/ Alabama

4* Money Maker BOISE

Taking the TOLEDO ROCKETS here. Uh. Yeah. This is a tough one. These guys just always find a way to not cover games. And that is not helpful when you are favored in 12 of your 13 games. Now - they are usually laying close to 20 vs bottom level MAC teams. I want to say that a good sign is them covering 4 of their last 5. They won the MAC Championship Game last year 17-7 vs Ohio. Haven't been repeat champs in over a decade (NIU). The fact this line opened as high as it did makes me like this even more though. Only time the Redhawks were dogs like this - they won! +14 vs Cincinnati 31-24.. +7.5 at Ohio - Winner 30-16. Their 2 blemishes on the year. Opening night at the Miami Hurricanes (We had Miami O there, loser +16) and a 21-17 road loss getting 3 from these Rockets. Down 21-3 at half, they scored 14 in the 3rd but that was it. And yet - a big line like this? Is it because Miami Ohio blocked a FG with a minute to go to knock off Ball State? More likely it is their QB situation. The defense is a good unit for Miami O. I  might be looking towards an under here also, as Toledo will want to pound the ball with their good run attack. That should be enough to push the Rockets to a double digit victory this afternoon. 4* Money Maker TOLEDO 

Taking TEXAS. Right off the bat the Cowboys have won the last 2 games. So even though this Texas rolling out the SEC, I think they have some added motivation to knock off Oklahoma State. Now, that being said. I am not loving the line moving up to over 2 TDs now. I guess dropping a 57 spot on a team really erases any doubts about how you have limped through the previous 3 weeks letting teams hang around. I've said since August I thought Texas could win the whole thing. The defense is there. No better time to shine. Ah the Cowboys. Had these guys left for dead and they change QBs during their bye week and promptly run off 5 straight wins and 7 of 8. Wow. I thought Gundy would retire after a 5 win season. Big 12 Championship Game. Unreal. Defense though an issue for me with Oklahoma State. 34-30 last 2 games to BYU and Houston. Houston just fired their coach and BYU ended the season with 5 straight losses going 2-7 in Big 12 play. Texas needs to stop the run. Ewers needs keep improving. Sark needs this win like a fish needs water. 4* Money Maker TEXAS LONGHORNS

Taking OREGON. We had the Huskies -140 when these guys played in October. I will take the W there. A little different in this spot though. We see a line approaching double digits! Wow. Much like when we had Washington over USC on the road, this game comes down to defense. And the Ducks have the clear edge here for me. Let's just look at this number going from 7 to 9. It does make sense when you see the way Oregon has been punishing teams their last 6 games - winning with both offense, 31-49-36-63-35-38 points - and defense 7-13-27-19-9-24. That come out to winning by over 25ppg if you are digging to the numbers. And the Huskies have been playing with fire. Eventually you get burned. Especially vs an elite, complete team - which Oregon is. I can forgive Washington for a lackluster 15-7 win at home over Arizona State after beating these Ducks. Home hum vs Stanford. Made the stop to get us the cover on the road at USC. Took the Utes and the big number and faded Washington for a win 35-28. Liked Oregon State to pick them off based on the way they were playing. Huskies pull out late 22-20 win. Then another dogfight to the bitter end vs Washington State. No rest for the weary as they get the best team they faced all season in a same season revenge spot and a double revenge spot for Washington's last 2 wins in the series. PAC 12 - Heisman - Playoffs all on the line.  Quack Attack. 4* Money Maker OREGON DUCKS

Taking LIBERTY. I think I said that I was a Jerry Kill fan way back in August when I was doing some conference preview videos. What a season. 10-3. Huge road win over Auburn. Great job. But I have to lay the double digits here. As I said in the last sentence. A 3 loss team. The first one, when I had them as a 6.5 favorite against UMass. I see some close wins - 27-24 vs La Tech and 13-7 vs Mid Tenn State. 20-17 over Jacksonville State (that was after Auburn win). Do they have enough to last here vs the Flames? Liberty beat them 33-17 way back in September. That game was 23-17 at the half and Liberty pitched a shutout in the 2nd half scoring 10pts in the 3rd and not looking back. This is a balanced attack with a clear edge in the QB position. 4* Money Maker LIBERTY

Taking the COWBOYS. I said on Thanksgiving during Mid Day Money - if you want to bet on Dallas, get on them early. They have crushed bad teams. This game can be 40-16 and Seattle if facing a Niners team getting healthy. Well. Dallas rolls. Niners win. Geno banged up. This line is off to the races. Maybe a tease with Dallas and the over or team total. Both teams rested. But Dallas and Dak at home. Man. They are looking good. Wining games by 35-32-23-35-20. The defense is not to shabby either! I won't lump Seattle into the teams Dallas has crushed here (Washington - Jets - Giants - Rams - Patriots) But this will still play out to the Cowboys winning something along the lines of 31-13, 34-17. Have to like them in this spot. Plus - a bonus play- Next week. home vs Philly. Philly off KC, OT Bills and then San Fran this week. Extra rest for the 'Boys.  4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS

Taking the EAGLES. Uh. So - I thought that the Bills would destroy the Jets. And I thought KC would beat Philly. We couldn't catch passes and Philly pulls out the MNF win. Not loving this as much as I did before the games. But I am still on the Eagles here. Every week a must win for Buffalo. Allen as great as he is, does turn the ball over. We will need it. Philly outgained in their last 3 games. I won't be shocked if this is 2.5 by kickoff with people buying in on new OC in Buffalo and a QB who needed a kick in the pants. That being said, Fly Eagles Fly  4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

Taking the RAIDERS. I will be the first to admit that I thought Miami would whip Vegas. I said on Look Ahead Lines, man, 10 points, might look at Vegas in that spot. Then it ballooned to 14 and I thought, man, I was way off. Hello 20-13. The team has taken on the fighting persona of their HC. I think that even getting KC off a loss, they should cover here. Chiefs have been a defense first team the entire season. The Browns have scored more points than them. The Bears have scored more points than them. Short week. Some questions about the offense. I know normally this is spot you would really expect Andy Reid and Mahomes to work their magic. But Vegas as a feisty home dog at this price is too good to pass up. 4* Money Maker LAS VEGAS RAIDERS

Taking the BRONCOS. Had the Browns last week, but like a good friend of mine likes to say - you need to know when to be on and off a team. And traveling to Denver is not where I want my Cleveland money to be. Broncos are in off a pair of pair of dog fights on Sunday + Monday night football. That is now 4 straight wins. I have said multiple times that Denver has a cloud still hovering over them based on Miami dropping 70 on them. Well the defense has turned this around their last 5 games. The Browns just beat the Steelers and Ravens in b2b weeks. Rookie QB on the road. I dunno. The line has moved to Denver as the favorite. Just another reason to tune into Look Ahead Lines and Mid Day Money. Still like the Broncos here to cover the new number. 4* Money Maker DENVER BRONCOS 

Taking the STEELERS. Well. Slight line move here as the Bengals go with Browning at QB. Honestly - even at the new number I would still take Pittsburgh. You know that their defense will show. And the Cincy defense - well. Let's just say they haven't been received an invite to the season yet. 4* Money Maker PITTSBURGH STEELERS

Taking the COLTS. Not overthinking here. Bye week. Home team. Cross country flight for Tampa. 4* Money Maker INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

Taking CLEMSON. I will be first to say how I wrote off Clemson after their back to back losses to Miami and NC State. The offense has awaken though. South Carolina defense has turned it around the last 2 games vs Kentucky and Vandy. But 28 to Jacksonville State. Then a run of 30-34-41-41-30 vs SEC teams. Dabo will have this guys primed. They lost at home last year to the Gamecocks 31-30. Time for some payback. 4* Money Maker CLEMSON TIGERS

This line was 6 at the start of the week.. Don't let 1 game dictate what you have seen for 3 months from this team. 4* Money Maker MICHIGAN 

4* Total Money UNDER Ohio State/ Michigan 

  Taking OREGON. Time for the Ducks to really let loose here. Revenge spot for last year. Nix looking for a Heisman. Team looking for a spot in the PAC 12 Championship Game. Running it up is back in vogue as the NIL money is running wild. Oregon State in off a tough loss vs Washington. Just a bad spot for the Beavers. Coming in off a win over any team would have been better than playing Washington before Oregon. Ducks pull away for a cover here. 4* Money Maker OREGON DUCKS

Taking MIAMI. Now. Am a bit concerned being a road favorite here. Yeah. Look. Jets are a mess. Off a total beat down in Buffalo. But we have to be honest with Miami here. The lose to good teams. And really - yesterday's game vs the Raiders. It is a bit of a red flag. Where was the offense? Off a bye week and that is what we get? Raiders had just beat the Jets and Giants. Tua is a heck of a lot better than those QBs. And yet, they couldn't get into the end-zone. I thought the Bills would put up a 34 spot vs NYJ. Here is another spot where I have to think Miami does the same thing. The Jets defense has to be just completely out of gas, and frankly, out of patience. The offense is truly offensive. Dolphins on talent alone should win this by a dozen. 4* Money Maker MIAMI DOLPHINS 

Taking BOSTON COLLEGE. Do we really think Miami is showing up a day after Thanksgiving in Boston, and winning on the road by double digits? Come on. They are now off b2b brutal losses. 3 straight going back to NC State. They are 1-3 on the road beating Temple (FSU, NCST, UNC losses). Where is the motivation to get 7 wins? I will be looking to fade this team in a bowl game also. 4* Money Maker BOSTON COLLEGE

Taking SAN FRAN. That little 3 game slide looks to be behind them. A pair of wins their last 2 games. No need to really run it up vs Tampa yesterday with a short week and road travel up to Seattle on deck. Seahawks in off a tough loss. If you watch my Look Ahead Lines, or on a monthly, you got the Rams +2.5 instead of as a favorite. Now Seattle has to regroup off blowing that game and face a far superior team. Not sure Drew Lock gets it done if Geno is not suiting up. Line already on the move like he is out. Niners by 10. 4* Money Maker SAN FRAN 49ers

4* Money Maker MISSISSIPPI STATE

 Taking WASHINGTON. Not the best line as there are 11s. But It wont' matter. This will be a 1 score game - heck I will not be shocked if Washington wins this one. Dallas has 3 losses - all on the road. Philly + SF. and that Arizona mess. They have destroyed bad teams. And make no mistake, Washington is bad. But this is also a Dallas with a HC who can lay some eggs. And double digits on a short week. Not really something I want to get behind the Cowboys with - especially vs a division rival. I think this is a one score game. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON COMMANDERS

Taking DETROIT here early Thursday. This played out exactly how I thought it would. Said it on Mid Day Money, Said it on Look Ahead Lines... We knew the Bears were going to give the Lions a game, and the Chargers would do Chargers and lose at Green Bay. Now the Lions are in off a bad game, albeit a win, but can really get back in the groove vs the Packers. Blowout city. 4* Money Maker DETROIT LIONS

Taking the CHIEFS. Not overthinking things one bit. You can go KC Money Line if you want. The ML were not posted when I put the picks up on Sunday night. Andy Reid an absolute beast with his bye weeks. Something along the lines of 27-4 SU. I know the break helped Philly who is a little banged up on both sides of the ball. The difference here, like the Super Bowl. Mahomes + the Chiefs Defense. This unit is giving up 19ppg. The last year and a half, the defense has carried this teams, even as great as their QB is. The defense is what is making this team so dangerous. Prior to their bye, the held the best offense in the NFL scoreless for a half and when they did finally score, the outcome was already set in stone. If you watch the Look Ahead Lines Show on Sunday Night during halftimes, you would have already been on the UNDER 48.5 on this game. 4* Money Maker KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

4* Total Money UNDER Eagles/ Chiefs

 Taking the RAMS. Normally, you would probably be thinking - let's take Seattle here. Good revenge spot. Got beat at home 30-13, looked terrible. Last time we saw the Rams they were flailing helplessly in Green Bay losing 20-3 behind QB Bret Rypien. Fresh off their bye week, a humiliating performance, and getting their QB back under center - it is time to back the home team here. 4* Money Maker LA RAMS  

Taking TENNESSEE. Now. I do have a bad number here at +6 as has moved to +7. And  honestly, I probably should have waited because the entire betting world will be on the Jaguars here. Yes - Both teams off bad games last week. But getting trucked by the Forty Niners, and getting beat down by Tampa Bay are two teams, playing different games. There will be no argument from me that the Jaguars are better. But I am here for the line. Everyone and their grandma will think - man, Jax should crush these guys. Jacksonville is just 1-3 at home. Losses to the Niners, Texans and Chiefs here. Beat the Colts here. Falcons win was in London. Titans have lost 8 straight on the road now. Playing a 3rd straight road game for any team is difficult. Tossing in a rookie QB makes it even harder. But I love the coach. Love the fact they have already been written off.  4* Money Maker TENNESSEE TITANS

Taking IOWA STATE as some nice home dogs tonight. Ewers is back - Ok. Is Texas the better team. Probably. Do they have the better coach. Heck No. Iowa State has won 3 of the 4 for a reason. These games are normally battles. 24-21 last year, Texas scored a TD with 4 and change to go. 30-7 Iowa State, 23-20 Iowa State 23-21 Iowa State. Should probably jump on the UNDER here as well as the last 8 games have been all fell below this number. Last time for Dan Campbell  and friends to get a win vs Texas before they head off to the SEC. Campbell 11-5-1 ATS as a home dog - I'm hoping for an outright tonight $  4* Money Maker IOWA STATE

4* Total Money UNDER Texas/ Iowa State

Taking LSU. I think this is pad the stats time. And even if it wasn't. Georgia State has given up 42-42-44 in their last 3 games to Appalachian State - James Madison and Georgia Southern. If you don't think Jayden Daniels will throw for 4 TDs and run for 2 more here, you have not been watching this offense. Last time they played a team like this it was 62-0 over Army. Don't overthink things. 4* Money Maker LSU 

Taking the BEAVERS. So -Washington 9-1 last 10. Oregon State up 21-14 heading to the 4th quarter, lose on a FG with 8 second to go 24-21. Huge motivation here. Last home game of the season. Last time to beat Pennix and the Huskies before they escape to the Big 10. Washington in off slug-fest vs Utah. Washington defense worse. Oregon State offense better. Home team Outright tonight. 4* Money Maker OREGON STATE

Taking MISSOURI. I know people might be thinking 'let down' spot after throttling the Vols 36-7. But that was the let down spot - off a tough loss to Georgia. This is a run it up in your final home game, in a revenge game, vs a team that has give up 52-39-43-39 in their last 4 games. This defense for Florida is gassed. They gave up 39 to Arkansas who scored 34 in 3 games vs Alabama, Auburn and Mississippi State combined! Tigers by at least 2 TDs - probably closer to 20. 4* Money Maker MISSOURI TIGERS 

Taking KANSAS STATE. This line tells me we are getting 3rd string QB tonight. And even if Bean does play, he is a hit away from being out of the game Wildcats won't take this bunch lightly. Kansas did score a huge win over Oklahoma here. 14 straight for KState in the series? Wow. Wildcats have the QB edge and that should push them to the double digit win, even in a hostile stadium. 4* Money Maker KANSAS STATE 

 Taking LOUISVILLE. First. We have Miami off their biggest game - a rivalry game they battled in until an INT with 40 seconds to go losing 27-20 to Florida State. Now they are back to Van Dyke at QB. The defense is tough though. Miami should be undefeated at home but that Georgia Tech game really stands out to me. Losing left and right on the road is not suppose to happen when 'you're back.' Here comes Louisville off a close win at home. Their lone loss of the season, at lowly Pitt! That being said, we told you in the Mid Day Money Show to grab the Panthers there as UL was off a huge win over Notre Dame. Cardinals have been consistent all season. I will say normally, I would be all in on the Canes in a spot like this. Pick/Sm Fave/Sm Dog role vs a decently ranked team. But I can't. Maybe people are still waiting for UL to have a bad game. It's been a great first year for the new regime there running things. . 4* Money Maker LOUISVILLE CARDINALS  

 Taking the RAVENS. 3rd straight home game for Baltimore and in off a last second loss where they blew a lead. Sign me up for the home favorites here. Short week for the Bengals who, on defense, just got lambasted by a rookie QB. A former MVP will have his way tonight. Over 500 yards and 386 to the QB. Wow. I know series why this is normally a FG type game. I just don't see it. I have said multiple time on Mid Day Money and the Look Ahead Lines show that the Ravens are the dangerous team in the AFC. I know everyone loves KC and the Tua/Hill show in Miami. Even Joe Cool with the visitors get more love. People will say, well, Burrow wasn't healthy the last time they played that is why Baltimore won.. Hello Bengals beat Anthony Brown 27-16 and the next beat Tyler Hunter in the playoffs 24-17.All Lamar does when he plays is win games. This line opened at 2.5 and has moved to 4 in some spots for a reason. Don't overthink things. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE RAVENS

4* Money Maker BOWLING GREEN

4* Money Maker WESTERN MICHIGAN

Going UNDER the total here on Monday night. We get Denver off their bye week. Broncos defense has turned things around the last few weeks. 9-17-19 points allowed. It is odd that they have allowed 31 to the Jets, 35 to Washington and 28 to the Bears. That 70 to Miami is a fluke. 9 and 19 to the Chiefs. 17 to Green Bay and 17 to Vegas. The Bills fans will think Josh Allen goes wild here. This team has played what, 3 good games, or complete games this season. 38-10 vs Vegas - 37-3 vs Washington - 48-20 vs Miami. Their defense should be able to get the job done and keep Denver from getting to 20. But the offense has struggled in those other games. 18-24-25-14-20-16. I don't think Bills get to 30 and this is something like 27-16.  4* Total Money UNDER Broncos/ Bills 

Taking DALLAS. I said in Mid Day Money before Dallas and the Giants even played, take Dallas at -10 before they beat the Eagles. Well. They didn't beat Philly, But the Giants continue to swoon. They were scoring 11ppg with Jones and Taylor. How are they scoring 10 here? Heck, how are they scoring 6? They aren't This line is now 15 or more. I would lay 20. Dak is hot. Cowboys angry off their loss. They mauled the Giants 40-0 in game 1. More of the same here. Absolute destruction. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS

Taking the LIONS. I said this on the Look Ahead Lines last Sunday night. Sign me up for Detroit off their bye week and a short week for LAC. Chargers off Sunday Night Win. Now off a Monday Night Win in New York. Everyone watched a pair of blowout wins and a defense that gave up 19 points. Now it is time to face a real time that has a capable QB.

Taking the COLTS. I am shocked that there is still this much respect for the Patriots. They are 2-7 on the year. They are also 2-7 ATS. What have we seen to make us think they win here? I was on the Colts in Game 1 of the season. Not. It didn't go as planned. I thought I would Minshew Mania and Taylor right from the door. They are both here now. The offense is humming. We had the Over last week in their game and although it didn't get there, they did their part. 27-27-38-20-23-23-22-31-21. They can score. The Patriots. 17-17-fluke 29 -17 - 0 - 3 -15-17 -20. Come on. That is 20 or more TWICE on the year! Now they turn it around? PuhLeaze. 4* Money Maker INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

Taking OREGON. This USC team is done. Do we really think the defense shows up here tonight? Of course it doesn't. Jump on the Ducks TT Over here as well. This will be a 45-55 spot for the home team. Like I said last week when we had Washington -3. This USC team is done. They were nearly picked off by Arizona. ND got them. Utah got them. Cal nearly got them. Washington got them. This team has zero heart. You think they show up tonight? Stop. Oregon has won and covered 4 of the last 5 vs the Trojans. 31-56- (20 loss) - 48- 62 points scored. Keep going .. Sure 35-53-47 (this was 2009!) . I am just saying. Ducks are not scared of USC. You put a team out of it's misery when it is flailing, not give them hope. Ducks by 3 TDs. 4* Money Maker OREGON

 Taking FLORIDA STATE. Oh what could have been with this game. Miami beats Texas A&M, gets out to a 4-0 start. You start think, yeah baby, The U is back! Sad Trombone plays with that inexcusable loss to Georgia Tech. Followed up with going on the road and getting pounded by North Carolina. You edge Virginia only to lose the next week to NC State. Rivalry or not, this game is a mismatch. No way the Noles are looking past their in-state rivals. North Alabama on deck. Florida State is superior across the field here. And why wouldn't they want to run it up here for their boosters? 45-3 last year - Miami hit the road and beat Temple 41-7 and lost to NC State 20-6. FSU at home 38-41-39-66-45.. Let's just say 37-13 based on what we have seen out of these clubs all season long. 5* Best Bet FLORIDA STATE 

4* Money Maker UTAH UTES

Taking ALABAMA. I just grabbed some Bama +700 to win the whole thing here on Tuesday afternoon. These guys just keep getting better as the season rolls on. Offense was the question. It seems to be finding itself. Do we really think they slip here against Kentucky? Now - the Wildcats have played tough here at home. 33-27 losers to the Vols. 38-21 losers to Missouri. Beat Florida here 33-14. So maybe you get a fight for a half. But why do I feel after what we saw in Bama's second half vs Tennessee, and again, 4 more 2nd half touchdowns vs LSU, do they not win this one by 14 or more points? Chattanooga on deck for the Tide - that is the go through the motions game and play not to get hurt spot. 4* Money Maker ALABAMA

  Taking MICHIGAN. If this was a night game, Penn State doing a White Out for the student. Yeah. I would be interested in the home dog in this spot. But a noon game. Eh. Not the energy you need to add that kind of edge. Penn State played Ohio State. The best team either has faced. It was a dog fight. Both defenses look to be very good. I do have to go Wolverines here based on the QB play though. I think their offense is better. And even though we haven't seen them vs an elite unit, I have seen enough to think they win this one by 7-10. They will pound PSU with their running, but McCarthy will make them pay with some pass plays. and as great as Allar has been this year 20 TDs 1 INT,  -- 18-42 vs Ohio State. That is where I think this game is lost for Penn State. 4* Money Maker MICHIGAN 

Taking KANSAS. Wow. 1st time the Jayhawks are favored over Texas Tech since 2008. Kansas 1-9 the last 10 SU. This is just a spot for us to back a really good home team. Jayhawks on a 9-1-1 ATS run at home and 5-0 ATS this year. Tech 1-3 on the road this year. 2-7 ATS road run. Defense giving up loads of yards. Bean effective at the QB spot. The offense has hummed all season. Take out the 14 points at Texas and this group has topped all but 1 other game (28 last week). If you are losing 20-13 at West Virginia and 27-14 at BYU, you know that coming to here you are giving up a 34-40 spot. 4* Money Maker KANSAS JAYHAWKS 

Taking SMU. Judging by the line move, looking like we have our QB under center tonight. Mustangs should be able to top the 40 mark tonight. North Texas comes in losers of 3 straight. Those 3 teams. All in the Top 4 of the AAC. Want to know who the other team is? Yep SMU. What does North Texas have in the tank after losing by 8,3,7 points? I am guessing not a lot. Road woes also for Mean Green. Lost at FIU 46-39 a win at LT 40-37. Lose Navy 27-24 - Lose Tulane 35-28. Now they face SMU off their worse game in 6 weeks. This team prior to the Rice had given up 36 points in its last 4 games. In the last 4 meetings North Texas hasn't been closer than 22 points (48-10 -- 35-12 -- 65-35 -- 49-27.. NT scored a 46-23 win in 2018.. 2017 54-32 SMU) These teams are still on different playing fields. Lay It 4* Money Maker SMU

Taking the BEARS. The fact that this line has moved this much amazes me. I am glad to be on the better number, but is this too much of an overreaction? Young is off a terrible game. The team is bad, I get it. But Chicago is just a win better at 2-7. Short week for both teams. Do we give a little point lean to the home team? Is it that we might get Fields back at QB? That could be the main reason. We know Fields has the wheels to take off, and this Panthers defense can give up yards on the ground. On the road at Miami Detroit and Seattle. Nearly 600 yards allowed. And even if it is Bagent, the kid went for 70 on the ground last week vs a better defense in New Orleans. Chicago should get it done here tonight. I can't see Carolina putting up more than 13. 24-13 Bears. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO BEARS

4* Total Money OVER Ball State/ Northern Illinois 

Taking the JETS. Do not trust the Chargers on the road. The coach will make a bonehead decision. Jets defense is good. We saw last week, a Jets team that looked brutal. We saw on SNF, a Chargers team that everyone falls in love with. Line keeps going up. I think Jets hang and have a shot at the outright win tonight. 4* Money Maker NY JETS

Taking the BENGALS. Another number we have in our favor. Look Ahead Lines is every Sunday night at half-time of the SNF game. Watch it. Or re-listen to the podcast. The line move doesn't shock me because I said this would happen. It doesn't matter. Cincy, and Burrow, are moving in the right direction. This is a team in Buffalo that they have figured out. 27-10 last year. That Bills team was better. Bills lost at New England and on the road to the Jets. This is a tough spot for them. Bengals did exactly what I thought they would do coming off their bye week. Big win in San Fran. No let down spot at all. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI BENGALS

 Taking the COWBOYS. This Eagles team. 7-1, but can be 4-4. A good team finds a way to win. But now they face a team that beaten them 4 of the last 5. And might have a better defense. Dak is the key. He has good numbers vs Philly. Cowboys special teams has been good. I still think Philly is more banged up then Dallas is. Might be a homer play since I am a fan of the Cowboys. But I am 8-2 with their games this season, 4-1 sides, 4-1 totals. Think I have the pulse of what to expect. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS

Taking the RAIDERS. It does not matter who is the QB for the Giants. The OL will leave that poor sap to run for his life. You would think it would be impossible to top they way they lost to Buffalo 2 weeks ago. But man - OT loser vs the Jets. Just wow. Vegas, for as inept as they had been under McDaniels, did play defense. Now though - this is a breath of fresh air. New Coach. New QB. Players happy. I might jump in on the Over here as well. 4* Money Maker LAS VEGAS RAIDERS

 Going OVER the total here. Colts 6-2 to the over on the year. Saw or heard that they are the ONLY team to score 20 or more in all their games this season. They should be good for close to 30 here vs the Panthers who give up 28ppg. Panthers run D is one of the worse in the league. Taylor + Morris will have huge games. Minshew will carve up the confused secondary. Honestly - we might need just 10 points from Carolina here. This game might be 30-7 at the half. Now. If Carolina HC Frank Reich can really rally his troops vs his old team, then we might have this over by halftime! 4* Total Money OVER Colts/ Panthers 

4* Total Money OVER Vikings/ Falcons

Taking ATLANTA. This is prime example of why you should listen to Look Ahead Lines at half-time of the Sunday Night Game. Now you are laying at least a 4 spot now. I don't think it matters honestly. I like Taylor Heinicke better. It was nice that the Falcons said to Ridder, go ahead kid, it is your show. But it was just not there. Too much talent on offense to be sputtering. Heinicke was solid with Washington. I think this team is better. Vikings have some a new QB, no star WR, and a run game that can't run. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS

Going UNDER the totals. Packers have scored more than 18 points exactly 1 time in their last 5 games. Love, and the rest of this Green Bay team have taken a huge step back. Wow. I was wrong with my take GB to win the North takes. This offense is bad. The defense is solid. Rams sent Rypien out to start. Not expecting huge fire works here. I will be shocked if we get more than 33 points. 4* Total Money UNDER Rams/ Packers

  Going OVER the total. I think the Ravens put up 34+ this afternoon. Something about this team I just like. And this Seattle bunch. Not a bad group. On the road we saw them in a 41-23 game vs SF. 37-31 vs the Lions. Two pretty good offenses and we had points from both teams. 24-3 at the Giants. Again, Seattle doing their part, but NYG with no offense. 17-13 in a dogfight vs Cincy. This is a game I just chalk up to an ugly one. Seattle has offensive weapons. Ravens are getting into a groove going for 31-38-24 (10) and 28 in last 4 games. We should sail over this to something in the 50s. 4* Total Money OVER Seattle/ Baltimore 

Going UNDER the total. I am not sure how people have not seen that this is a Defense First KC team. And it has been like this for over a year now. Let's add in the travel from Denver to KC to Germany. For all the Tua and Hill offensive accolades (33ppg) , this Miami team is just 4-3 to the Over on the season. And for me - the Dolphins have lost at Buffalo and Philly. A pair of "step up in class' type games. Both of those on the road. 31 + 48 Points allowed. KC was mustering up just 22ppg when you remove that 41 spot vs the lowly Bears. 4* Total Money UNDER Dolphins/ Chiefs

Taking LSU. Will grab the points here. I know that the ol' Alabama is done has been said a couple times this year. It is like the Undertaker coming out of the coffin. Lose to Texas. 17-3 at South Florida. Down 7-6 at home vs Ole Miss - 24-10 winner. 26-20 win at A&M. 24-21 vs Arkansas as 19pt faves. Down 20-7 at the half, at home vs Tennessee. 27-0 2nd half. Wow. What can you say or really expect here from Alabama. I say they can't contain the LSU offense. Jayden Daniels is having a great year. 25/3 TD/INT splits. 5 more rushing TDs. This is the kind of guy who has given Bama fits over the years. I will take any points in what should be a back and forth one score game. 4* Money Maker LSU

Taking WASHINGTON. I will be shocked if this line doesn't come down. Maybe a PK by game day. Now - I put games out very early. Most times, we get the "CLV". Doesn't mean it wins every time. I have heard whispers that Pennix is banged up. I don't care. This USC defense is horrific. Heisman gone. Playoffs gone. PAC 12 Title, pretty much gone. I want to know if USC has any heart - and honestly, I don't think they do. Blowout loss at Notre Dame. Utah loss in a wild one. Nearly a loss at Cal. 49 points to Cal - and Cal has 4 Turn Overs! Geez. No wonder this total is at 75. I can't trust this defense even if Pennix is banged up. I think Calen forces things because of the bad defense. I will excuse the 15-7 win over Arizona State after beating Oregon. And even in the lackluster win last week at Stanford. I can say, well road game at USC next. Maybe the Tree doesn't get their full attention. I cannot see how Washington doesn't move the ball here. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON HUSKIES

Taking MICHIGAN. How is Purdue scoring? Uh, they aren't. 14-7-14 their last 3 games. Where did that 44 vs Illinois come from? Who knows. I don' think the Boilermakers sniff the end-zone. Michigan offense - I think JJ is a Heisman guy. Not getting a lot of love. This team is that good. Defense has allowed more than 7 points once! ONCE this season. You want to grab 1st half because you think Michigan takes their foot off the gas with Penn State on deck - eh. We saw them run it up late at Michigan State. Why not here at home. Blowout. 4* Money Maker MICHIGAN

Taking IOWA STATE. Cyclones had won 7 in a row prior to last years 14-11 clunker loss. And these games weren't even close. 59-7 - 52-22 - 41-31 - 27-3 - 45-0 -31-24 - 38-13. Ok, that 7 point win in 2016 was close! - Look. This is an auto play even tossing prior history out the window. Because, those players are all long gone right - But what isn't long gone. Kansas upsetting Oklahoma at home and acting like it was another basketball team championship. Terrible spot for Kansas vs a team that 30 up in b2b road games and has won 4 of their last 5. 4* Money Maker  IOWA STATE

Taking OREGON. Yes. Big USC game on deck. But it is a home game. And this is a home game. And Cal just took USC to the wire in a 50-49 thriller where they missed a 2pt conversion for the win with a minute left. Kudos for going for it instead of taking the tie and seeing what happens. But what do you have in the tank after that? I am thinking not much. Ducks should cruise much like they did last week in 35-6 cakewalk. Cal lost at Utah 34-14 the week before. 38-10 gets us the cover. 4* Money Maker OREGON DUCKS 

Taking OKLAHOMA STATE. Wow. Totally wrong on these guys. What a turn around since their bye week. And the Sooners. I thought they were a bit over hyped starting the season. QB was unbelievable and they knocked off Texas, who I thought was the best team in the Big 12. So - they get behind UCF and then hang on for a win. Ok. I get it. A little let down off Red River. Understandable. Lose a back forth shoot out at Kansas. Eh. Warning sign perhaps. Boone Pickens isn't some joke place to play. Huge rivalry. Home dog who have found their QB. Last chance for the Cowboys to beat the Sooners who have owned them the last decade. Another doggy outright? 4* Money Maker OKLAHOMA STATE

Taking TEXAS A&M. Ole Miss with wins the last 2 games, so we get a little double revenge working in our favor. We also have a pretty decent defense, which is the number 1 reason I like the points here. The fact the line has no dropped to 3 tells me all I need to know. We have an outright winner on our hands folks! 4* Money Maker TEXAS A&M 

Taking the IRISH. This is just a straight fade of Clemson here. This team is cooked. The coach looks beat. The team looks bad. At least ND plays with heart. Also on the UNDER in this one if you wanted to look at the total. Now - we have seen some teams struggle after picking up a big win. No let down after ND bashed USC 48-20. They dropped a 58 on Pitt with a bigger name foe on deck, and on the road. The UL loss to me was just a bad spot and a gassed team. This team, in my eyes, has 1 loss. And that was against a much better team. How about ND 30-1 SU vs ACC teams 22-9 ATS. Wow. The defense should have no problem vs the bite-less Tigers. You take out 66 vs Charleston Southern and 48 to FAU - what do you have? 7 vs Duke - 17 vs Wake and NCST 20 vs Miami. I mean. 24 vs FSU. I think that was their season. They did follow with a big 31-14 win at Syracuse. But, that's the 'Cuse. If they get to 17 I will be shocked. Irish by at least a TD, and honestly should be 10 or more. 4* Money Maker NOTRE DAME

4* Total Money UNDER Notre Dame/ Clemson 

Taking KANSAS STATE. Have to take the dog and the points here. Wildcats with 2 losses, on the road, 29-21 at Oklahoma State and 30-27 at Missouri (60+ FG at 0:00!) Then we look at the h2h in this series. Texas by 7-5-(freak 69-31) -3-5-6(OT) Kansas State comes to battle. Texas with a backup QB. KST plays a good run D. Kansas State in off b2b wins of 82-2. You know they are feeling good coming into their final game vs the Longhorns. 4* Money Maker KANSAS STATE 

4* Total Money OVER Kansas State/ Texas 

 Going UNDER the total. Rookie QB on a short week. Home team with backup veteran QB leading an offense that has been outgained in every game. A pair of defense first HCs. First team to 16 wins. 4* Total Money UNDER Titans/ Steelers

Taking the TITANS. Saw some clown on Twitter say, oh man - Pitt has won 4 in a row vs Tenny and 7 of the last 10 bro. Easy money.  Yeah. Because Big Ben out-dueling Zack Mettenberger, and Bishop Sankey (2014 game) tearing it up for 38 yards is what we should be looking at. Or Levon Bell going for 200+ on the ground! Heck- The last time they played (2021) Big Ben was the QB still. Come on people. Look - yes - a short week with a rookie QB making his first NFL road start vs an always tough opponent. I think maybe Trubisky is a better fit as a veteran here than Pickett. But the Steelers have been outgained in every game this year. Henry and Hopkins are probably the best skill guys on the field and the helps the rookie QB. As much as I love Tomlin, the Titans got a HC who isn't too shabby. In what should be an ugly, low scoring game - give me any points with the visitors. 4* Money Maker TENNESSEE TITANS 

 Taking TEXAS TECH. Laying points vs a team that has beat you 4 straight, and you have a QB that has thrown 2 TDs and 6 INTs the last 2 weeks! Sign me up!! Because we should be getting a steady diet of RB Brooks here from the Red Raiders. TCU still has some problems for me to back them. 4* Money Maker TEXAS TECH 

Taking DETROIT. We had the Ravens last week - Lions in b2b road spots, and off a win. Now,  home. Raiders - come on. This team lucks itself into wins. Detroit, at least has some talent and a little spunk in them and their coach. And that is a clear edge for the home team here as well. It doesn't to me who starts for Vegas. The team will shoot itself in the foot. Need a big home win here with a trip to face the Chargers on deck for the Lions. 4* Money Maker DETROIT LIONS

Taking the BEARS. How can anyone site there and think that you can back the Chargers laying double digits? This is team you are comfortable laying a big number with? We have to go back 9 games, January of 2023 against the Rams, to find a game they won by more than 7 points. They have no home field. Their coach might make the Bears coach look like Halas. The defense isn't all that special. Obviously this is me not having in LAC. I can't say anything about the Bears other than they have won 2 of their last 3. Momentum? I'll grab the big dogs in Prime Time. (like we did in Mid Day Money when they played Washington $) 4* Money Maker CHICAGO BEARS
