Scared that their hopes of Tua leading them to the promise land has been side tracked by his injury. Well, he’s baaaack! Take MIAMI!

Jayden Daniels was in his second career game and still make Giants QB Jones look like an amateur. Big Blue is more like powder puff blue when playing at home and are 0-4 both SU and ATS.

Golden State has won 10 straight in the series and have gone 7-3 ATS. But there is one constant factor in all of the match ups and this is the Warriors were favored in every game, seven by double-digits and they were -7, -7 and -7 in the other three. Tonight, Houston opened minus-6...-6! I understand that there is no curry buy Golden State should be used to that, cuz they are 2-0 since he went down.

Minnesota at Los Angeles Lakers 10:00 ET Lakers (+) over Timberwolves- The storyline here of course has to do LeBron James and now his son as NBA history will be made when they appear together in the same game. Minnesota has a new look as their All-star center has been traded to New York and the T’wolves need to find a way for their new pieces to mesh together. LA also has a new look as JJ Redick takes over the coaching duties. Spirited Lakers win here. Take LA LAKERS!

LA Chargers at Arizona 9:00 ET Cardinals (+) over Chargers- Things are different with the LA Chargers under new head coach Jim Harbaugh as expected but this change has them running the ball more. This of course is what most thought would happen under their new leadership. Quarterback Justin Herbert who is considered one of the better passers in the NFL is averaging just 163 yards passing per game. The Cardinals QB Kyler Murray has been inconsistent his entire career and is off of a poor performance against the Packers but I expect him to rebound here. Take ARIZONA!

Seattle at Atlanta 1:00 ET Seahawks (+) over Falcons- Seattle opened their season with three straight wins and have followed that with three consecutive losses. Defense has been their biggest liability as they just haven’t been able to stop opponents key drives ranking 27th against the run. On offense aside from two poor performance in-a-row Geno Smith is the passing yardage leader. Atlanta has become the darlings of their division having won their last three but are under a field goal at home...somethin’s up. Take SEATTLE!

Cincinnati at Cleveland 1:00 ET Browns (+) over Bengals- Can it get any worse for the Cleveland Browns? Many think not! So, if it can’t get any worse then it must get better. DeShaun Watson has fallen into that Tiger Woods aura where once his character was revealed to the public that became exposed and were shatter from the inside out. The Browns will have Nick Chubb in the backfield for the first time since week 2 of the 2023 season. Cincinnati started 0-3 but have won 2-of-3 while the Browns have now lost four in-a-row. The Browns have not quit on the season like many believe as this is their first division game of the season. Take CLEVELAND!

Detroit at Minnesota 1:00 ET Vikings over Lions- After the way Detroit just destroyed Dallas last Sunday and looked like the Super Bowl bound club most expect. But, now they are facing Minnesota who at 5-0 is the biggest surprise in NFL so far this season. The Vikings are lead by Sam Darnold who was supposed to be a backup for rookie JJ McCarthy but fate had it’s way. He has had a pair of questionable outings and is looking to return to earlier form against Detroit. Vikings ambush the Lions here. Take MINNESOTA!

Philadelphia at New York Giants 1:00 ET Giants over Eagles- I really do love this match-up at this time and could be using it as my strongest NFL play of the day. If you have been watching like I have you would have to agree that the Eagles haven’t looked all that good and really haven’t passed the eye test. New York who has just two wins has been in every contest with a chance to actually win the game in the final quarter. The Giants my have less talent but they are better coached and have more moxie...take the NEW YORK GIANTS! 2

Texas Christian at Utah 10:30 ET Horned Frogs (+) over Utes- The bookies seem to have devalued Utah big time and it is most likely because of the poor showing of seventh year Cam Rising who was horrid upon his return from injury. TCU meanwhile has dropped completely out of sight and mind since their championship experience and they even lost to lowly Houston last week. Oh yeah, how about the Utes...they have dropped their last two against both Arizona schools and are 1-4 ATS in their last five games. Cam Rising’s return has been a major flop and hurt team moral. Take TCU!

Georgia at Texas 7:30 ET Bulldogs (+) over Longhorns- If we were to judge this contest by what we have seen to date there is little chance that you would select the Bulldogs if you viewed it with an open mind. Georgia opened the season blowing out Clemson 34-3 and have been unimpressive since even getting blown out at Alabama before staging a second half comeback and actually taking the lead late in the fourth quarter only to be beaten a Crimson 17 year-old super star. Texas has been dominate but have not played to the level of competition that Georgia has met. I do believe that the Longhorns are a better squad but the lack big-game experience. Take GEORGIA!

Iowa at Michigan State 7:30 ET Spartans (+) over Hawkeyes- This is not the strongest Spartans’ team that we are used to seeing but that doesn’t mean that we can’t make money on them when the time is right. MSU has dropped their last three after opening the year with wins over Maryland, FAU and Prairie View falling at Boston College and to Ohio State and at Oregon. Iowa has won the past two meetings but MSU had won the four previous meetings. Stat wise these two clubs are practically even with a slight edge to he Hawkeyes. But, stats won’t matter here as the Spartans find a way. Take MICHIGAN STATE!

Kansas State at West Virginia 7:30 ET Mountaineers (+) over Wildcats- I have such a sour taste in my mouth with this West Virginia squad as the two times that I used them as Top-rated releases they fell short against Penn State and Pittsburgh. So it appears that I might stand a chance here as the Wildcats are from nowhere near Pennsylvania. Kansas State enters 5-1 with their loss coming at BYU where they got blown out 38-9. Last week they pull off a late victory at Colorado and have won the past two meetings by 17 points ending a four game WV series winning streak. At home for the second straight week after falling to Iowa State last Saturday the Mountaineers bounce back. Take WEST VIRGINIA!

LSU at Arkansas 7:00 ET Razorbacks (+) over Tigers- What I like about this encounter from the home sides point of view is that Arkansas has the confidence needed to take down the Tigers after defeating Tennessee two weeks ago. What I don’t like about it is that the Razorbacks have had two weeks to pat themselves on the back and develop swelled heads. LSU has won five straight since their opening game loss to USC and they have covered the last two. The Hogs are 5-1 ATS with SU losses the at Texas A&M and Oklahoma State. Sweat Hogs own an edge in all defensive and offensive departments. Take ARKANSAS!

Alabama at Tennessee 3:30 ET Volunteers (+) over Crimson Tide- To start with I am a bit taken back by Alabama coming out the favorite here because it was just a few short weeks ago the Volunteers were on track to the upper status before falling at Arkansas. But, that was not as bad as the Tide’s loss at Vanderbilt and a narrow escape against South Carolina. The Vols have the No. 4 defense in total yards allowed with 249.8 YPG and their offense is ranked No. 10 with 483 YPG and yet they are an underdog at home. If it wasn’t for the ‘public’s reaction to this match-up I would lay it...but I can’t. Take TENNESSEE!

The Blue Devils have had two weeks to lick their wounds after a bye last week. But, sometimes that is too much time to dwell on what when wrong or what else could we have done, and confidence wanes. Florida State is undefeated lifetime against the Devils who they have defeated in all 22 meetings including 8-0-1 ATS in the last nine. The beat goes on...take FLORIDA STATE!

Boston College at Virginia Tech 7:30 ET Hokies (-) over Eagles- Virginia Tech got right and even at 3-3 with a convincing win over ACC newcomer Stanford 12 days ago and is excited to be playing before a National TV audience. Boston College was handed their 2nd loss at Virginia last Saturday as the Cavaliers shutout the Eagles 24-0 in the second half. Tech has won the last two meetings and 3-of-4 with BC last winning in Blacksburg in 2018 when they were small favorites. The visitor has a better record at 4-2 then Va Tech 3-3 and has a few quality wins under Bill O’Brien so I question as to why the line is so high. It’s Tech-time..take VIRGINIA TECH!

Buffalo at New York Jets 8:15 ET Jets (+) over Bills- New York made a coaching change six days ago and most believe that Aaron Rodgers has something to do with it and he denies he had any input in the decision. The move makes no sense as the Jets kept the offensive coordinator Hackett and yet removed his play calling responsibilities. Buffalo has dropped their last two games and Josh Allen is off of his worst career performance against Houston. The Bills have won six of he past eight meetings but it was New York that prevailed on a Monday night last season opening the season with Wilson taking Rodgers place after his injury three plays into the season.

Pittsburgh at Las Vegas 4:05 ET Raiders (+) over Steelers- Las Vegas has made a move and no they are not going back to Oakland or Los Angeles or San Diego they are moving off of Gardner Minchew at quarterback and onto Aidan O’Connell. He showed promise while at Purdue but has not yet done much of note starting 10 games last season and this is his first start of 2024. Raiders coach Antonio Pierce is already starting to hear rumblings from the media and the locker room as well. Many are starting to question his in-game decision making and believe that he is not up to the job. None the less they will rally as a group before this whole thing implodes. Tomlin’s not happy with Fields and is looking to make a move to Wilson but like Mike Trout there always seems to be something wrong. Take LAS VEGAS!
