12-18-21 | Oilers -120 v. Seattle Kraken | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 25 h 0 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on EDM. I had this to say about the Kraken a few days ago: "The betting public appears to be supporting Seattle's expansion team, perhaps due to the success of the Vegas Golden Knights just a few seasons ago. Such success for an expansion team is certainly not the norm, and I believe it's naive to think Seattle can do what Las Vegas did." They have lost four of their last five, and they host an Edmonton team that just snapped a six game losing streak. The Oilers NEED to follow up a 5-2 win over CBJ with another win over an inferior opponent. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-18-21 | Utah State v. Iowa -5 | 75-94 | Win | 100 | 19 h 21 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Iowa. The Hawkeyes have lost three straight, but two of those losses came against ranked teams on the road. They also lost at home to an Illinois team that is tied for first place in the BIG10. I like their chances of snapping this losing skid against Utah State. The Aggies have only faced one ranked opponent this season, and they lost by double digits at BYU. They have lost four of their last five versus ranked teams, by an average margin of over 10 points. The Hawkeyes held their own in a 77-70 loss at #2 ranked Purdue. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-18-21 | Patriots v. Colts -130 | 17-27 | Win | 100 | 23 h 20 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Indy. The Patriots are on top of the world after beating the Bills in spectacular fashion in a bad weather game in Buffalo. Their winning streak sits at seven games, and if they are ever going to suffer a let down this would be as good as spot as any. This is a huge game for the Colts, and Jonathan Taylor. The NFL's leading rusher has 10 rushing TDs in his last five games, and while the Patriots have one of the league's best defenses, they are better against the pass than they are versus the run. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-18-21 | Arsenal v. Leeds United OVER 2.5 | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 11 h 21 m | Show | |
This is a 7* play on Over. I bet the over in the Gunners last game, and fell short after a missed penalty. Here is what I said prior to that match: "The big news out of Arsenal is that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been stripped of the captain's arm band. They did just fine without him in a 3-0 win over Southampton in their last match. It won't be so easy today as they face 4th place West Ham." They are at Leeds on Saturday, and Leeds is coming off a 7-0 loss to Manchester City. Leeds has conceded 32 goals this season, only two teams have conceded more (Newcastle and Norwich). GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-18-21 | Appalachian State -134 v. Western Kentucky | 38-59 | Loss | -134 | 14 h 51 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Appalachian State. Western Kentucky gave up 49 points in a loss to UTSA in the C-USA championship game. The Hilltoppers defense has been torched often this season, and this is not a favorable matchup facing a well rounded App State team. The Hilltoppers can score their share of points, but their defense can't stop anyone. Western Kentucky is 1-6 ATS in their last seven versus Sun Belt teams, and the over 7-3-1 in their last 11 versus teams from that conference. The Mountaineers are 4-1 ATS in their last five bowl games, and I expect them to score their fair share here. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-17-21 | Coastal Carolina -10.5 v. Northern Illinois | 47-41 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 16 m | Show | |

12-16-21 | Chiefs -160 v. Chargers | 34-28 | Win | 100 | 19 h 3 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on KC. What do the Lions, Jets and Jaguars have in common? Well they all rank better than the Chargers at defending the run. LA is allowing over 140 rushing yards per game, only the Houston Texans rank worse against the run. We expect Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards Helaire to have a big night. He ran for 37 yards and two TDs on 10 carries in the win over the Raiders on Sunday. He didn't get much work in the second half of a blowout, and should come in with fresh legs. The Chiefs have won seven of their last eight games, allowing an average of just 11 points per game in those wins. It has been their defense and their running game that has carried them. This is a revenge game for KC, and they are 7-1 ATS in their last eight in LA. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-16-21 | 76ers +105 v. Nets | 105-114 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 55 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on PHI. The Nets will once again be shorthanded due to Covid protocols, but their B-team is coming off an overtime win over the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday. Another win here at home versus Philly might be too much to ask. The Nets are 0-6 ATS in their last six home games, and 5-12 ATS in their last 17 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-16-21 | Kings v. Panthers -142 | 4-1 | Loss | -142 | 6 h 47 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on FLA. The Panthers are coming off a home loss to Ottawa, just their second home loss of the season. They are 14-2 at home, and starting goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky is 9-0 with a 2.40 GAA on home ice. The Kings are expected to go with their backup goaltender, and Cal Peterson is 1-3-1 with a 3.58 GAA on the road. The Kings are 4-9 in their last 13 overall, and they are 7-16 in their last 23 games as an underdog. The Panthers are 5-0 in their last five games following a home loss of 3 or more goals. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-15-21 | Seattle Kraken v. Ducks -150 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 20 h 37 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on ANA. I had this to say about the Kraken last night: "The betting public appears to be supporting Seattle's expansion team, perhaps due to the success of the Vegas Golden Knights just a few seasons ago. Such success for an expansion team is certainly not the norm, and I believe it's naive to think Seattle can do what Las Vegas did. The Kraken have lost three straight, and they rank 30th in the league in goals against. For some reason they are just a small underdog here on the road in San Jose." I am going to double down with the "fade the Kraken" strategy here with the last place team playing on back to back nights versus the first place Ducks. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-15-21 | Capitals v. Blackhawks +1.5 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 18 h 40 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on CHI. The Blackhawks will be a home dog versus Washington tonight, and the Caps have seen four of their last six games decided by one goal. The Blackhawks are 3-3 in their last six overall, and four of those games were decided by one goal. The home team is 12-4 in the last 16 head to head meetings. Marc Andre Fleury is coming off a 30 save shutout, and he's won three of his last four starts. One of those was a 4-3 OT win over the Capitals. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-15-21 | West Ham United v. Arsenal OVER 2.5 | 0-2 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 9 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. The big news out of Arsenal is that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been stripped of the captain's arm band. They did just fine without him in a 3-0 win over Southampton in their last match. It won't be so easy today as they face 4th place West Ham. The Hammers have scored 28 goals in 16 matches, and recent history between these teams suggests we could see a high score here. The last meeting was a 3-3 draw, and three of the last four meetings have gone over the total. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-14-21 | Seattle Kraken v. Sharks -140 | 3-1 | Loss | -140 | 47 h 22 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on SJS. The Sharks are six points out of first place in the Pacific Division, and 10 points clear of last place Seattle. The betting public appears to be supporting Seattle's expansion team, perhaps due to the success of the Vegas Golden Knights just a few seasons ago. Such success for an expansion team is certainly not the norm, and I believe it's naive to think Seattle can do what Las Vegas did. The Kraken have lost three straight, and they rank 30th in the league in goals against. For some reason they are just a small underdog here on the road in San Jose. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-14-21 | Arizona State v. Creighton -6.5 | 58-57 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 44 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Creighton. Arizona State has failed to impress, losing six of their first eight games. They come into Nebraska as winners of back to back games over Oregon and Grand Canyon, but they appear to be over-matched versus the Blue Jays. Creighton has won four of five home games, and they are coming off a double digit win over a ranked BYU team. The Sun Devils are 4-13-2 ATS in their last 19 games as an underdog, and they are 4-12-1 ATS in their last 17 road games. The Sun Devils have really missed starting forward Marcus Bagley, who has not played since mid November. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-13-21 | Rams v. Cardinals -132 | 30-23 | Loss | -132 | 24 h 46 m | Show | |
10* |
|||||||
12-12-21 | Bears v. Packers UNDER 43 | 30-45 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 10 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Under. Cold winter nights at Lambeau Field are not an ideal setting for quarterbacks to pad the stats in the passing game. Justin Fields rarely tosses the ball around the yard at the best of times. He's only bettered this number twice this season, and in a home loss to the Packers he threw for 174 yards with a TD and an INT on 16-of-27 passing. Fields is coming back from a rib injury, and while he's healthy enough to start this game, there's no guarantee he will finish it. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-12-21 | Winnipeg -135 v. Hamilton | 33-25 | Win | 100 | 42 h 35 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on WPG. The Hamilton Ticats are the best team in the ... Eastern Conference. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers though are the best team in the CFL. The Bombers rank 1st in the CFL in scoring defense allowing just 13.4 points per game. Bombers QB Zach Collaros ranked 2nd in the CFL in passing yards, 1st in TDs, and 1st IN QBR. Winnipeg has won their last two games versus Hamilton (2021 & 2019) both by double digits. The Tiger-Cats are 3-11-2 ATS in their last 16 games as a home underdog, and the Blue Bombers are 4-1 ATS in their last five playoff road games. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-12-21 | 49ers v. Bengals +2 | 26-23 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 56 m | Show | |
5* |
|||||||
12-12-21 | Saints -5 v. Jets | 30-9 | Win | 100 | 14 h 31 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on N.O. The Saints have lost five straight, but they will be the favorite on the road at New York this week. The Jets rank dead last in the NFL in scoring defense, and with Alvin Kamara coming back we could see the Saints snap this skid. Kamara has played in eight games this season, scoring seven TDs. He should find plenty of holes in this Jets defense. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-12-21 | Ravens v. Browns -142 | 22-24 | Win | 100 | 13 h 28 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on CLE. Fans of Lamar Jackson will have to face the facts, the dude has a history of folding at the end of the season when the weather gets colder and the games become more meaningful. His doubters will point out that he's thrown eight INTs (four of those in a home game against Cleveland) while throwing six TDs in his last four games. The Ravens have lost three of their last five overall. This is a tough spot for the Ravens, playing Cleveland on the road with the Browns coming off a bye. I expect Lamar to struggle once again. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-12-21 | Newcastle United v. Leicester OVER 3 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 15 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. Only two teams in the Premier League have conceded 30+ goals, and Newcastle is one of them. Leicester City is hardly a defensive powerhouse, coming off a 3-2 loss to Napoli that knocks them out of the Europa League, and they have conceded two or more goals in four straight matches. This will be the third meeting between these teams in 2021, and they scored a combined seven goals in the first two meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-11-21 | Bruins v. Flames -132 | 4-2 | Loss | -132 | 21 h 19 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Calgary. The Boston Bruins are coming off back to back road games, both decided by just one goal. They lost in a shootout in Vancouver, and then won 3-2 at Edmonton. Playing their third straight road game in Calgary is a tough spot, and I don't like their chances of winning both games in Alberta. The first place Flames are looking to snap a three game losing skid. The Bruins are 1-6 in their last seven games as an underdog, and they have lost four straight when coming off a win. The Flames are 37-16 in their last 53 versus teams from the Eastern Conference. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-11-21 | Hurricanes v. Oilers -122 | 3-1 | Loss | -122 | 21 h 18 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Edmonton. The Oilers have lost four straight, but a home game on Hockey Night in Canada figures to be a great spot to snap out of this losing skid. The Oilers are 9-4 in their last 13 games as a home favorite. Carolina has won three straight, coming off games at Winnipeg and Calgary. I don't expect them to to win back to back games in the Province of Alberta. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-11-21 | Blue Jackets +1.5 v. Seattle Kraken | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 21 h 18 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on CBJ. The Blue Jackets have lost six of their last seven overall, and they are coming off a 2-1 home loss to the Ducks. They will be a big underdog at Seattle, despite the fact that they have 13 wins while Seattle is just 9-15-2. Three of the Jackets last four losses have come in games decided by just one goal. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-11-21 | Navy v. Army -7 | 17-13 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 35 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Army. The Black Knights have won four of the last five meetings between these two teams, and they are clearly the better team this year. The Midshipmen were just 3-8 with wins over Temple, UCF and Tulsa. Army won eight games, and lost a close game on the road 20-14 at Wisconsin. The Black Knights are 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight neutral site games, and 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games in December. They rank second in the nation in rushing averaging over 300 yards per game, and averaged 35 points per game. Navy isn't equipped to keep up with that kind of production. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-11-21 | Manchester United -1 v. Norwich City | 1-0 | Push | 0 | 12 h 2 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Manchester United. The Red Devils have looked better since Ralf Rangnick has taken over. A 1-1 draw against Young Boys in the Champions League was not a bad result given that they rested most of their regular stars. They have won their last two Premier League starts versus Crystal Palace and Arsenal. They will play Norwich City Saturday, and this should be a mismatch. Norchwich sits dead last in the table, with no real hope of avoiding relegation. Manchester United has won the last three head to head meetings by a combined score of 9-2. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-10-21 | Flyers v. Golden Knights OVER 5.5 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 22 h 42 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Golden Knights are a team to keep an eye on. They have had a slow start by their standards, but that can be explained by the injuries they have dealt with. Marc Stone has missed a dozen games, Max Pacioretty has missed 17 games, and William Karlsson has missed 16 games. They are all back, and playing well, and the Knights look like a team primed to go on a run. Starting goaltender Robin Lehner has allowed 15 goals in his last five appearances, and was pulled from his last start after allowing three goals on 10 shots. He ranks 35th in the NHL with a GAA of 3.11. The over is 11-4-1 in the Golden Knights last 16 overall. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-10-21 | Watford v. Brentford OVER 2.5 | 1-2 | Win | 102 | 15 h 33 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. Brentford will host Watford in a Friday match in the Premier League, and both these teams have been conceding a ton of goals lately. Watford has lost three straight matches, conceding nine goals in those matches. Brentford is coming off a 2-2 draw versus Leeds United, and they have conceded two or more goals in four of their last five matches. Watford has scored eight goals in their last four matches, unfortunately their defense has been sloppy. They have conceded 29 goals this season, only Newcastle and Norwich have conceded more. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-09-21 | Jets v. Seattle Kraken OVER 6 | 3-0 | Loss | -103 | 20 h 51 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. The Jets have given up 11 goals while winning two of their last three games, and they have one of the league's worst penalty killing units. The Kraken rank 29th in the NHL in goals against, but they have scored 19 goals in their last five games. The over is 8-1 in the Kraken last nine home games, and the over is 15-5-2 in the Kraken last 22 overall. Seattle's starting goaltender Phillip Grubauer was pulled after allowing three goals on four shots in just five minutes in his last start. He's allowed a dozen goals in his last four starts. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-09-21 | Iowa v. Iowa State +4.5 | 53-73 | Win | 100 | 19 h 45 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Iowa State. The Cyclones are 8-0, and they have a pair of wins over ranked teams and a road win at Creighnton. They host the Hawkeyes tonight, and Iowa has lost back to back games. The Hawkeyes are averaging over 90 points per game, but they rank at the bottom of the BIG10 allowing over 70 points per game. The home team has won eight of the last 10 meetings straight up, and the Cyclones are 4-0-1 ATS in their last five games as an underdog. They underdog is 6-1-1 ATS in the last eight head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-09-21 | Steelers v. Vikings -166 | 28-36 | Win | 100 | 18 h 4 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on MIN. Minnesota has lost back to back games on the road, but the Vikings are 42-19 ATS in their last 61 games following a straight up loss. Their defense was a disaster in a loss to Detroit on Sunday, but they host a Steelers team that only averages 20 points per game. Kirk Cousins continues to put up solid numbers, but doesn't get a lot of credit from the media. He threw for 340 yards and two TDs on 30-of-40 passing in the loss to Detroit. Big Ben on the other hand has not had a spectacular season, and he's expected to retire at the the end of this season. He's not a fan of playing on short rest, and I don't expect he will be at his best here in Minnesota. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-08-21 | Stars v. Golden Knights -135 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 19 h 55 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on VGK. Vegas has had a pretty slow start to the season, but perhaps that's understandable when you consider the injuries that they have had. Marc Stone has missed a dozen games, Max Pacioretty has missed 17 games, and William Karlsson has missed 16 games. They are all back, and playing well, and the Knights look like a team primed to go on a run. The Stars are 6-13 in their last 19 games as a road underdog, and the Golden Knights are 50-21 in their last 71 home games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-08-21 | Bucks -6.5 v. Heat | 104-113 | Loss | -104 | 9 h 40 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Milwaukee. The Heat have lost four of their last five, and the average margin of defeat in those games was more than 10 points. The Bucks have won 10 of their last 11 overall. Miami has struggled with Jimmy Butler battling an injury, and he's out for Wednesday's game against the Bucks. The Bucks are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as a road favorite, and they have covered in four of their last five versus the Heat. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-08-21 | Villarreal v. Atalanta OVER 3 | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 36 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over 2.5. Atalanta will need to win as the home favorite in order to qualify for the round of 16 in the Champions League. They host Villa Real, and these teams played to a 2-2 draw earlier in the competition. Atalanta ranks 2nd in Series A in scoring, and they have scored 16 goals in their last five matches in all competitions. Another draw might be enough to get Villa Real through, but they will have to score to keep up to Atalanta. This should be an exciting match with plenty of scoring. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-07-21 | Liverpool v. AC Milan OVER 2.75 | 2-1 | Win | 50 | 13 h 44 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. Liverpool and AC Milan played a cracker of a game back in September, and Liverpool won by a score of 3-2. While Liverpool sits comfortably on top of the group, this is a must win game for Milan. They won't have the luxury of playing for a draw, and their tactics will reflect a level of desperation. Milan needs a win to have any chance at advancing to the round of 16. These teams have gone over in all three previous meetings in the Champions League dating back to 2005. We expect plenty of scoring here at San Siro. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-06-21 | Patriots +3 v. Bills | 14-10 | Win | 100 | 6 h 13 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on New England. Bill Belichick has the Patriots back on top in the AFC, and they roll into Buffalo as a three point underdog. The Bills are coming off a Thanksgiving Day win over New Orleans, but they have alternated wins and losses over their last six games. Historically the Pats have owned the Bills, the Patriots are 14-3 ATS in their last 17 meetings in Buffalo. The road team is 22-8-2 ATS in their last 32 meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-05-21 | Broncos v. Chiefs UNDER 47.5 | 9-22 | Win | 100 | 28 h 11 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Under. All of a sudden the Denver Broncos have won three of their last four and they rank 1st in the NFL in scoring defense. The Chiefs have won four straight, and their defense has allowed just 12 points per gane during that span. They have been a lot more focused on their running game, and they ran for 126 yards and two TDs in a win over the Cowboys two weeks ago. Patrick Mahomes didn't throw a TD pass in that game, and he's only had one multi TD game in his last five starts. The under is 23-11 in the Broncos last 34 games in December, and the under is 4-1-1 in the last six head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |

8* |
|||||||
12-05-21 | 49ers -146 v. Seahawks | 23-30 | Loss | -146 | 1 h 43 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on SF. The Seahawks are a team in decline, and massive changes are coming. Russell Wilson is likely going to be playing elshwere next season, and he hasn't looked sharp since returning from injury. The Seattle defense ranks worst in the NFL in yards per game, and the 49ers come in off three straight wins, scoring 30+ in all of those games. This appears to be a spot where two teams are just going in opposite directions. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-05-21 | Cardinals v. Bears +7.5 | 33-22 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 50 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on CHI. Only two teams have allowed fewer points per game than Arizona this season (Denver and Buffalo). The Cardinals though are just 2-2 in their last four overall, and the offense has struggled with Kyler Murray battling injuries. The Bears defense ranks among the best in the NFL, and playing in December in cold and windy Chicago is an advantage for the home team. The under is 11-3 in the Cardinals last 14 road games, and the Bears have failed to reach the total in 18 of their last 24 in Chicago. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-05-21 | Hamilton v. Toronto UNDER 44 | 27-19 | Loss | -109 | 45 h 53 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Under. Hamilton's defense was dominant in a 23-12 win over Montreal in the East Semifinal. The Ticats forced five turnovers, and sacked Trevor Harris six times. Toronto will be lucky if their QB is able to start this game, after he violated Covid19 protocols during the week. The miscue caused him to miss practice during the week. The under is 6-0 in the Tiger-Cats last six games as an underdog, and offense could be hard to come by in December in Toronto with snow in the forecast. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-05-21 | Crystal Palace v. Manchester United -163 | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 38 h 47 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on MUTD. The Red Devils appear to have turned the corner since sacking Ole Gunnar Sosksjaer. They are coming off a 3-2 win over Arsenal midweek, and last weekend they played a 1-1 draw versus Chelsea. A home game against Crystal Palace is a must win for new boss Ralf Rangnick. Palace have lost back to back games. Both these teams rank among the worst in the Premier League in goals against, each conceding over 20 goals in 14 matches. Both teams have scored above the Premier League average. We should expect a high score here at Old Trafford. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-04-21 | Georgia -6 v. Alabama | Top | 24-41 | Loss | -111 | 85 h 2 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on UGA. This line opened far too low, because the bookmakers know that it's hard to talk the public into betting against Alabama. The Tide really shouldn't be expected to compete here against a Bulldogs team that has steamrolled everything in front of them. This Alabama team just barely beat LSU, Arkansas and Auburn in their last three SEC games. If you take away the name “Alabama”, and just judge them based on their resume this season, they might as well be Florida. The Bulldogs beat the Gators by 27 points. Georgia should win this game by double digits. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-04-21 | Utah State v. San Diego State -3.5 | 46-13 | Loss | -109 | 23 h 19 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on SDSU. Utah State will play San Diego State in the Mountain West Championship game, and I think the Aggies are biting off more than they can chew. This Utah State team is fresh off a 44-17 home loss to Wyoming two weeks ago, and the Cowboys ran for 362 yards in that game. The last time they faced San Diego State, the Aztecs ran for over 400 yards and won by 31. The Aztecs are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 home games, and they have covered in four of their last five versus Utah State. Three of the last four head to head meetings have gone over the total.

This is a 5* play on Over Utah State will play San Diego State in the Mountain West Championship game, and I think the Aggies are biting off more than they can chew. This Utah State team is fresh off a 44-17 home loss to Wyoming two weeks ago, and the Cowboys ran for 362 yards in that game. The last time they faced San Diego State, the Aztecs ran for over 400 yards and won by 31.

12-04-21 | Bayern Munich -116 v. Borussia Dortmund | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Bayern Munich. The Ballon D'or was presented to Lionel Messi this week, and this was one of the most obvious signs that FIFA is even more crooked that a two dollar bill. For the second season in a row, the rightful winner of the Ballon D'or will not receive his trophy. Robert Lewandowski has scored 14 goals in 13 matches in the Bundesliga this season. Messi has scored one goal for PSG... Bayern sits in first place, with a goal differential of +29 compared to second place Dortmund +14. Bayern has won five straight head to head versus Dortmund, and we should expect Lewandowski to have a statement game here. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-04-21 | Baylor v. Oklahoma State -200 | 21-16 | Loss | -200 | 20 h 22 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on OKST. The Cowboys beat the Bears 24-14 early in the season, and what stands out to me is that the Bears failed to take advantage of a 3-0 turnover margin. Those turnovers made a blowout look more like a close game. Oklahoma State had an edge in first downs (24-10) and total yards (401-280). History tells us that the Cowboys have had the edge, with the Bears going just 5-11 ATS in the last 16 head to head meetings. The Cowboys are 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven games as a favorite.

12-03-21 | Oilers -125 v. Seattle Kraken | 3-4 | Loss | -125 | 20 h 11 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Edmonton. The Kraken return home from a successful road trip, earning points in three of four games. They are 4-1-1 in their last six overall, but I can't help but think they have become a little overvalued. As exciting as it was to see the Vegas Golden Knights become one of the league's best teams in their first season, that's absolutely not what we normally see for an expansion team. Even after playing over their heads for the last week, Seattle is still tied for last place in the Pacific Division. Tonight they host the Oilers who are a point out of first in the Division. The Oilers own the league's #1 power play, and they are 16-5 in their last 21 overall. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-03-21 | 76ers v. Hawks -119 | 98-96 | Loss | -119 | 18 h 29 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Atlanta. The Sixers have just three wins in their last 12 games overall, and they have been dealing with injuries. Joel Embiid missed time with Covid, and since his return he has complained about his lack of fitness. The Hawks are on a roll, coming into this home game as winners of eight of their last nine. The 76ers are 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall, and they are 10-25-2 ATS in their last 37 games as a road underdog. The Hawks are 21-5 ATS in their last 26 games as a home favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-02-21 | Cowboys v. Saints +5 | 27-17 | Loss | -109 | 18 h 40 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on New Orleans. The Saints have lost four straight, prompting them to make a change at quarterback. Enter Taysom Hill who was quite successful filling in at QB last year. The Saints won three of the four games he started last season. Dallas has lost back to back games, and they have been hit hard by Covid19. Mike McCarthy won't be on the sidelines in New Orleans, and several players will miss the game. Amari Cooper is expected to return after testing positive a few weeks ago. The Cowboys are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games following a ATS loss, and they are 1-4 ATS in their last five meetings in New Orleans. The underdog is 9-2 ATS in the last 11 head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-02-21 | Blues v. Lightning -135 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 17 h 2 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Tampa. The Lightning are coming off back to back losses, and they face the Blues in a revenge spot after losing at St. Louis a few days ago. The Blues are 3-7 in their last 10 games as a road underdog, and they are 1-6 in their last seven games following a win. The Lightning are 5-1 in their last six in the second game of a home-and-home situation, and they are 37-15 in their last 52 home games. I'll take the home team in this revenge spot. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-02-21 | Arsenal v. Manchester United +106 | 2-3 | Win | 106 | 13 h 6 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on MUTD. Manchester United finally sacked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and there is still time to turn their season around. If their 1-1 draw against Chelsea is any indication of what's to come, they may be in good shape. Arsenal comes in with four wins in their last five matches, three of those wins coming at home. The Gunners have a -8 goal differential in away games this season, only Norwich City ranks worse. This is a big game for the Red Devils, and I expect their talent to shine here in a big rivalry game at Old Trafford. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-01-21 | Seattle Kraken v. Red Wings OVER 5.5 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 17 h 42 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. I bet the over in Seattle's last game. Here is what I said before they played Buffalo: "The Kraken have failed to reach the total in three straight, after going over the number in each of their previous nine games. They will be a favorite on the road in Buffalo, and the Sabres actually have a winning record on home ice. The Kraken have gone over the total in 10 straight against teams with a losing record. They have gone over in six straight as a favorite, and they have lost seven of their last eight road games. We should see a high score in Buffalo." Playing their second game of a back to back, we could see the Wings turn to their backup netminder. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-01-21 | Hawks v. Pacers -1 | 114-111 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 13 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Indiana. It's normal for teams to have a better record at home, but these two teams each have dramatic home away splits. The Pacers are 6-4 at home, and the Hawks are 3-8 on the road. The Hawks are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 road games, and they are 0-8 ATS in their last eight games as a road underdog. The Pacers are 5-1 ATS in their last six games as a home favorite. The Hawks are 0-4 straight up in their last four at Indiana. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-30-21 | Norwich City v. Newcastle United OVER 2.5 | 1-1 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 10 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. The bottom two teams in the Premier League will play at St. James Park Tuesday, and neither of these clubs have been able to stop opponents from scoring. Between them the have conceded a total of 56 goals while each playing in 13 Premier League matches. These teams have scored a combined four or more goals in four of the last five head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-29-21 | Seattle Kraken v. Sabres OVER 5.5 | 7-4 | Win | 100 | 17 h 2 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. The Kraken have failed to reach the total in three straight, after going over the number in each of their previous nine games. They will be a favorite on the road in Buffalo, and the Sabres actually have a winning record on home ice. The Kraken have gone over the total in 10 straight against teams with a losing record. They have gone over in six straight as a favorite, and they have lost seven of their last eight road games. We should see a high score in Buffalo. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Rams -125 v. Packers | 28-36 | Loss | -125 | 22 h 24 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on LAR. The Packers are banged up, and they face a stacked LA Rams team that comes in off a bye week. This could be a recipe for disaster for Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers has a broken toe, Aaron Jones has a knee injury, and the offensive line is in rough shape. We expect winter weather in Green Bay on Sunday, and the Packers have failed to reach the total in seven of their last eight games overall. The under is 22-7-1 in the Rams last 30 games as a favorite, and they have failed to reach the total in 12 of their last 16 coming off a loss. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Montreal v. Hamilton -4.5 | Top | 12-23 | Win | 100 | 43 h 35 m | Show |
1 This is a 10* play on Hamilton. Montreal had a chance to secure home field for this game, but they lost at home to a last place team with a rookie QB, and now they will visit Hamilton. Home field could be quite significant here, as there are few places tougher to play than Steel Town. The iger-Cats are 13-4-1 ATS in their last 18 home games, and they have covered in five straight home playoff games. The Als most dangerous weapon on offense is RB William Stanback, but he matches up against a Ticats run defense that ranks 1st in the CFL allowing just 79.6 rushing yards per game, and a league low 4.2 yards per carry. Jeremiah Masoli finished the season strong after missing four games, and ranked second in the CFL in yards per attempt (9). The Als picked up Trevor Harris after the injury to Vernon Adams, and Harris has played well, but it's still a downgrade. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Manchester United v. Chelsea -166 | 1-1 | Loss | -166 | 18 h 46 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Chelsea. Chelsea sits top of the table in the Premier League, and they host a mediocre Manchester United squad Sunday. The Red Devils have themselves a new manager, and perhaps Ralf Rangnick can turn things around at Old Trafford. Don't expect it to happen overnight, and in the mean time they are likely to continue to struggle. The Blues have only conceded four goals this season, posting four clean sheets in their last five matches in all competitions. Manchester United has been embarrassed by top teams this year, losing to Liverpool and City by a combined score of 7-0. They will do well to avoid another embarrassment here at Stamford Bridge. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-27-21 | Heat v. Bulls UNDER 212 | 107-104 | Win | 100 | 20 h 36 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Under. The Miami Heat rank 1st in the Eastern Conference in opponent's scoring average, and the Bulls aren't far behind. For that reason the total is pretty low here, but it is still higher than the number in three of the last four head to head meetings between these teams. The under is 6-1 in the Bulls last seven games as a home underdog, and they have failed to reach the total in 13 of their last 16 as a dog. The under is 20-6 in the Bulls last 26 home games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-27-21 | Pittsburgh v. Syracuse +13 | 31-14 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 54 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Syracuse. Pittsburgh is the better team here, nobody can argue that point. The fact is that this game isn't all that meaningful for the Panthers, who should be looking ahead to the ACC Championship Game. The Orange on the other hand will have a chance to become bowl eligible with a win in their final home game. They have lost five of their seven games in the ACC, but they have been a completely different team at home compared to on the road. They are 5-0 ATS in their last five home games, and 6-1 ATS in their last six as a home underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-27-21 | Kentucky v. Louisville OVER 57 | 52-21 | Win | 100 | 19 h 50 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. Louisville scored 35 points in the first half last week against Duke, and they scored 35 points in the first half in their last home game against Syracuse. Now Kentucky is a step up in competition, but the Cardinals are still going to score their points. Five of the last six head to head meetings have gone over the total. The over is 8-3 in the Cardinals last 11 games in November, and the over is 23-7 in the Wildcats last 30 non-conference games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-27-21 | Sabres v. Red Wings -175 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 18 h 25 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Detroit. The Red Wing have lost four of their last five overall, but they are coming off a 4-2 home win over the Blues. They have won four of their last five on home ice, and they host the Sabres who will be playing on back to back nights. The Sabres are 13-45 in their last 58 games as a road underdog, and they are 16-43 in their last 59 overall. This is a good spot to back the home favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-27-21 | Oregon State v. Oregon UNDER 61 | 29-38 | Loss | -102 | 15 h 51 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The Ducks playoff hopes are over, and they might be vulnerable here in this big rivalry game. Weather could be a factor, with rain in the forecast. We expect both teams to lean heavily on their running game, which should chew up the clock and keep the score from getting too high. The under is 4-0 in the Ducks last four games following a straight up loss. The Beavers defense held Arizona State to just 3.3 yards per carry (100 total rush yards) last week. They have plenty of reason to get up for this game, so don't be surprised if they give the Ducks a run for their money. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Seattle Kraken v. Lightning -172 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 21 h 13 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on TB. The Lightning are the defending Stanley Cup champions, and they have been the best team in the NHL for roughly a decade. Tonight they host an expansion team that is looking for just it's second road win (ever). Seattle has lost seven of eight on the road, but the Kraken are coming off back to back home wins over Carolina and Washington. They should be a 3-1 underdog here on the road in a game that is as big a mismatch as we see in the NHL, and the fact that they aren't is likely a result of recency bias. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-26-21 | TCU v. Iowa State UNDER 60.5 | 14-48 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 7 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Under. The Cyclones are coming off back to back losses to Texas Tech and Oklahoma, and they finish the season at home against TCU. The Horned Frogs have plenty to play for, with a chance to become bowl eligible. The Cyclones have gone under in eight of their last nine home games, and the under is 4-1 in their last five games in November. It's going to be a freezing cold day at Jack Trice Stadium, and I think a total over 60 seems a little inflated. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-25-21 | Ole Miss v. Mississippi State UNDER 61 | 31-21 | Win | 100 | 92 h 46 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. You look at this game between Ole Miss and Mississippi State, with two head coaches that are known for their offense, you might think this will be a high scoring game. History says otherwise, as these teams have gone under in eight of the last 10, and seven of the last eight head to head meetings. Both teams have shown that they can play defense in recent weeks. The Rebels have held three straight opponents to fewer than 20 points, and they have gone under 60 combined points in six straight overall. The under is 12-5 in the Bulldogs last 17 home games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-25-21 | Alabama v. Iona OVER 147.5 | 68-72 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 41 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. Two 4-0 teams will meet on Thanksgiving Day in California when the Crimson Tide take on the Iona Gaels. Both these teams come in scoring plenty of points, Alabama averaging over 89 points per game while the Gaels are averaging over 74 points per game. The Crimson Tide can play defense if they need to, but they are also content to run and gun if it suits them. That was the case when they beat South Dakota State 104-88 in their second game of the season. This game has the potential to be a similar style, with another high score. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-25-21 | Raiders +7.5 v. Cowboys | 36-33 | Win | 100 | 91 h 8 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on LV. The Raiders have lost three straight, and Derek Carr has thrown as many INTs (4) as he has TDs during that span. They are up against a Cowboys team that scored just nine points on three FGs in a loss at Kansas City on Sunday. Amari Cooper didn't play as he recovers from Covid, and he won't be available on Thanksgiving. Ceedee Lamb left Sunday's game with a concussion, but he's been back at practice and might be able to start. Ezekiel Elliott is dealing with a knee injury, and while he will play his workload is expected to be cut back. With all the injuries on offense, I am not sure the Cowboys should be asked to cover more than a TD here. The Raiders are 4-1 ATS in their last five games as a road underdog, and the Cowboys are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 Thursday games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-25-21 | Bears v. Lions +3.5 | 16-14 | Win | 100 | 46 h 0 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Detroit Lions. The Lions lost 13-10 at Cleveland last week, losing by three points or less for the third time this season. The Bears come in to this Thanksgiving Day matchup favored by 3.5, and that sets up the potential for that half point to be very significant. The last time the Bears played in the Motor City, they won by a score of 27-24 in September of 2020. Three of the last four head to head meetings have been decided by four points or less, so there is every reason to expect this game to be close. The Bears are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games as a favorite, while the Lions are 4-0 ATS in their last five when scoring 15 points or less in their previous game. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-24-21 | Hurricanes v. Seattle Kraken OVER 5.5 | 1-2 | Loss | -116 | 27 h 45 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Kraken have now gone over the total in nine straight games. Here is what I said prior to their last games: "Washington won 4-0 last night in San Jose, and they play their second game of a back to back tonight in Seattle. The Capitals are averaging almost 3.5 goals per game, and they face a Kraken team that is dead last in the league in goals against. The Kraken have lost eight of their last nine overall, and they have gone over the total in eight straight. The bookmakers aren't giving us any reason not to back those trends here tonight." Another total of 5.5 when it should be at least 6.0. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-24-21 | Paris Saint-Germain v. Manchester City UNDER 3.25 | 1-2 | Win | 50 | 13 h 27 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Under 3.5. Manchester City has been scoring plenty of goals versus lesser opponents, but the last time they faced PSG they lost 2-0 at Paris. In fact the last two head to head meetings between these teams ended with a final score of 2-2. Manchester City has only conceded three goals in their last five matches in all competitions, and they have posted three clean sheets during that span. It's expected to be a wet and windy day in Manchester, and I don't expect to see more than three goals scored in this match. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-23-21 | Buffalo v. Ball State UNDER 59.5 | 3-20 | Win | 100 | 6 h 19 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The mid week MAC games have been going over the total at an incredible rate, and perhaps that's why the bookmakers have listed the total so high for tonight's game between Buffalo and Ball State. The Bulls will have their backup QB under center, and the Cardinals offense ranks dead last in the MAC West. Ball State has failed to reach the total in seven straight home games, and the under is 5-0 in the Cardinals last five games following an ATS loss. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-22-21 | Senators v. Avalanche -1.5 | 5-7 | Win | 100 | 21 h 20 m | Show | |
This is a 7* play on Colorado. The Avs are still favored to win the Stanley Cup, but they didn't get off to a great start. They come into tonight's home game against Ottawa as winners of four in a row, and all four of those wins came by 2+ goals. The Senators were forced to cancel their last three gamed due to a covid outbreak, and this will be their first game in over a week. They were not exactly lighting it up before that, losing seven of their last eight games. Five of those seven losses came in games decided by two or more goals. This looks like a blowout waiting to happen. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-22-21 | Giants v. Bucs OVER 49.5 | 10-30 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 32 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. The Bucs will be a double digit favorite at home on Monday Night Football versus the Giants, but they have lost back to back games to Washington and New Orleans. While both those losses came on the road, the fact is that a pair of mediocre teams scored a total of 65 points in those games. Injuries in the secondary are hurting the Bucs, and without Vita Vea their run defense is suffering as well. Both these teams have offensive starters coming back from injury, and they have a history of playing high scoring games. The over is 6-0 in the last six head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-22-21 | Ohio State v. Seton Hall +1 | 79-76 | Loss | -115 | 21 h 36 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Seton Hall. The Pirates are off to a 3-0 start despite losing their leading scorer from last season to the NBA draft. They still have three seniors in the starting lineup, and that experience has been paying dividends early in the season. They come off an upset win at #4 ranked Michigan, and they are the underdog here in a neutral site game against #19 ranked Ohio State. The Buckeyes are coming off a 71-65 loss to Xavier, in a game that they trailed from start to finish. This came after they narrowly avoided losing their season opener to Akron by hitting a game winning shot at the buzzer. The Buckeyes are 0-5 ATS in their last five games following a straight up loss, and the Pirates are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 neutral site games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-21-21 | Capitals v. Seattle Kraken OVER 5.5 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 59 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. Washington won 4-0 last night in San Jose, and they play their second game of a back to back tonight in Seattle. The Capitals are averaging almost 3.5 goals per game, and they face a Kraken team that is dead last in the league in goals against. The Kraken have lost eight of their last nine overall, and they have gone over the total in eight straight. The bookmakers aren't giving us any reason not to back those trends here tonight. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-21-21 | Ravens v. Bears +6.5 | 16-13 | Win | 100 | 22 h 12 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Bears. Chicago probably deserved to win in a controversial loss to Pittsburgh in their last game. They have had a long week to prepare for the Ravens, and this looks like a tough spot for Baltimore. The Ravens are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games as a favorite, and they are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss. It's going to be cold and windy in Chicago, and this game should be a war of attrition. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-21-21 | Colts v. Bills -7 | 41-15 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 8 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Buffalo. The Colts might be biting off more than they can chew here on the road at Buffalo. Indy is 5-5 but when you look at their wins over the Jags, Jets, Texans and Dolphins, it doesn't inspire much confidence. The Bills are 14-5-1 ATS in their last 20 games overall, and the favorite is 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 meetings between these teams. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-21-21 | Washington Football Team v. Panthers -170 | 27-21 | Loss | -170 | 13 h 7 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Carolina. The media is making a big deal about the return of Cam Newton, but it's the return of Christian McCaffrey that has reversed their fortunes. He ran for 95 yards and caught 10 passes for 66 yards in last week's win over Arizona. He's played in five games this season, and Carolina is 4-1 in those games. This is a let down spot for Washington coming off a home win over The Bucs. They have failed to cover in four of their last five road games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-21-21 | Packers v. Vikings +107 | 31-34 | Win | 107 | 13 h 7 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Vikings. Minnesota will be a home dog in this rivalry game versus the Packers, and this looks like a let down spot for Green Bay. In a home game versus Seattle, the Packers lost their star running back and a handful of defensive starters. That's gonna make it tough here against a Vikings team that is showing signs of improvement in the second half of the season. The Vikings are 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 games as a home underdog. The underdog is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-21-21 | Dolphins -3 v. Jets | 24-17 | Win | 100 | 13 h 3 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Miami. At first glance the Dolphins are 3-7 and the Jets are 2-7, so you might assume these teams are close in terms of talent. The Jets rank dead last in the NFL in scoring defense, and their offense is in the hands of a 36 year old Joe Flacco. He's appeared in six games for the Jets over the last two seasons, and the Jets are 0-6 in those games. History favors Miami, the Dolphins are 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-20-21 | Oklahoma State v. Texas Tech +11 | 23-0 | Loss | -110 | 41 h 26 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Texas Tech. The Red Raiders came out of their bye week and scored a whopping 31 points in the first half last week against Iowa State. The Cyclones rallied, but Texas Tech held on to win the game on a 62 yard FG at the buzzer. They host Oklahoma State this week, and at first glance the Cowboys look pretty good at 9-1. Oklahoma State hasn't been a good bet against Texas Tech, failing to cover in five straight versus the Red Raiders. Texas Tech has covered in eight of their last 10 as a home underdog.

11-20-21 | Hornets v. Hawks -6 | 105-115 | Win | 100 | 17 h 30 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Hawks. Atlanta didn't start the season off well after an inspired run in last year's playoffs, but they come into Saturday's home game against Charlotte as winners of three in a row. The Hornets are playing on the back end of a back to back, and they are 1-5 ATS in their last six road games. The Hawks are 24-4 ATS in their last 28 games as a home favorite, and they are 27-9 ATS in their last 36 home games. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-20-21 | Baylor v. Kansas State UNDER 50 | 20-10 | Win | 100 | 39 h 55 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. Baylor is coming off a huge upset win over Oklahoma, and their defense held the Sooners to just 14 points. They could suffer a let down here at Kansas State, as the Wildcats have won four straight and allowed just 16 points per game during that span. The under is 8-3 in the Bears last 11 road games, and the Wildcats have gone under in five of their last six as a favorite. The under is 11-3-1 in the Wildcats last 15 games in November.

11-20-21 | Hurricanes v. Kings UNDER 5.5 | 5-4 | Loss | -114 | 15 h 57 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The Carolina Hurricanes rank first in the NHL in goals against, allowing just 1.87 goals per game. They will be in LA for an afternoon game Saturday, and the Kings rank 3rd in the league in goals against, allowing just 2.25 goals per game. These two defensive powerhouses certainly have a history of playing low scoring games. The under is 10-3-2 in the last 15 head to head meetings, and they have gone under in seven straight in LA. The under is 13-3 in the Kings last 16 home games. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-20-21 | Saskatchewan v. Hamilton -5 | Top | 3-24 | Win | 100 | 15 h 56 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Hamilton. The Saskatchewan Roughriders have already clinched a playoff spot, so they will not have the majority of their offensive starters on the field when they visit Hamilton Saturday. The Tigercats have also clinched a playoff spot, but they still have a chance to lock up home field advantage. This should be quite a mismatch with Hamilton's starters going up against the Riders backups. The Tiger-Cats are 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 games as a home favorite, and they are 12-4-1 ATS in their last 17 home games. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-20-21 | Illinois +13 v. Iowa | 23-33 | Win | 100 | 35 h 28 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Illinois. The Hawkeyes are 2-2 in their last four overall, and their offense has scored just 14.5 points per game during that span. They come into Saturday's home game against Illinois as a double digit favorite, but I have them on upset alert. Illinois is gunning for a third straight road win against a Top 25 team, coming off wins over #7 ranked Penn State and #20 Minnesota. They ran for 357 yards against the Nittany Lions, and in their win over Minnesota they held the Gophers to 89 yards rushing. Coming off a bye week, I expect Illinois to be highly competitive here at Iowa. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-20-21 | Wake Forest +4.5 v. Clemson | 27-48 | Loss | -110 | 33 h 24 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Wake Forest. The Tigers are 7-3, two games back of Wake Forest in the ACC standings, but they are a 4.5 point favorite at home versus the Deacons on Saturday. The brand name of Clemson might be carrying too much weight, because the product on the field doesn't justify being favored here. Sam Hartman has been lighting it up all year, and last week he threw for 290 yards and three TDs in a 45-42 win over #16 N.C. State. DJ Uiagalelei threw for just 111 yards on 12-of-26 passing in a loss to the Wolfpack earlier this year. The Tigers are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games overall, and they have failed to cover in six of their last seven home games. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-19-21 | Edmonton Elks v. BC OVER 46.5 | 10-43 | Win | 100 | 24 h 34 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The BC Lions host the Edmonton Elks Friday, and neither of these two teams are headed to the playoffs. BC ranks dead last in the West Division in scoring defense, and Edmonton isn't far behind. Lions QB Mike Reilly leads the CFL in passing, and he's got some of his top receivers back. He should have little trouble carving up this Edmonton defense. The over is 6-1 in the Elks last seven games following a straight up win, and the Lions have gone over in five straight. I expect to see another high score here in Vancouver. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-19-21 | Avalanche -150 v. Seattle Kraken | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 23 h 22 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Colorado. The Avs are off to a slow start, considering they are the favorite to win the Stanley Cup. They are a favorite on the road at Seattle Friday, but this line should be much higher. Colorado could be a 2-1 favorite against an expansion team that has lost seven of it's last eight overall. The Kraken have struggled as you would expect, ranking near the bottom of the league in goals against, as well as on special teams. Bettors continue to back Seattle, perhaps looking for the same magic we saw when the Golden Knights came into the league a few years ago. Early success for expansion teams is the exception rather than the norm. GL, Jesse Schule |
