11-27-20 | Nebraska v. Iowa -13.5 | 20-26 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 15 m | Show | |
Since losing their first 2 games Iowa has really shown what they are capable of on offense and defense. They have won 3 straight scoring at least 35 points in each win and their defense has won all 3 games by 19 points or more. Nebraska's defense allows over 200 yards passing and rushing and Iowa's defense should be able to shut down an offense that has lost 4 of their last 5 games scoring 24 points or less in all 4 losses. This should be a one sided game with Iowa in control of both side of the bll and not giving Nebraska anything with a defense that allowed just 7 points to 2 of their last 3 opponents. Take Iowa |

11-27-20 | Iowa State v. Texas +1.5 | 23-20 | Loss | -109 | 3 h 26 m | Show | |
Texas had an extra week to prepare for this game because last week their game was cancelled. this is a huge game for them as Iowa St leads the conference with Texas just 1 game behind. They have won 3 in a row with their last loss to Oklahoma in OT. QB Ehlinger will be playing his last game at Austin and will be really pumped for a win. Iowa St has played great so far losing just 1 game but this will be a real test for them. They barely beat West VA last week and had to win the week before in OT. They have to be on their toes as Ehlinger can not only pass but is their leading rusher. This game is a big home game for Texas and I expect a big performance for a team that needs the win to grab ahold of top dog in the conference as Iowa St has a game lead over them. Take Texas |

11-26-20 | Auburn v. St. Joe's +7.5 | 96-91 | Win | 100 | 4 h 2 m | Show | |
Auburn has no starters returning from last season and have just 1 player who had 3 starts last season as their 'veteran' player. St Joes has one of the premier players in senior guard Daly who averaged over 20 points last season and they are always a tough team on defense. They have a young squad to open their season against and they should surprise Auburn who had one of the better SEC teams last season. St Joes also has their top 3 scorers returning from last season so have an edge in experience. Take St Joes |

11-26-20 | Texans v. Lions +3 | 41-25 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 48 m | Show | |
The Lions were shutout last week but this week they play a team that has 2 of it's 3 wins against Jacksonville. We know Stafford can throw the ball and we know both teams struggle on the ground wit the Texans being the worst in the league. This is a game that Detroit always looks forward to since it is the Thanksgiving Day tradition in Detroit. Houston lost 4 of their 5 road games so I'll take the points on Thanksgiving with Detroit. Take Detroit |

NY is desperate for their 1st win after blowing a double digit lead late in the game before losing 30-27. Let's not for get that LA has won just 2 games and are a double digit favorite? NY has had major problems with their offense but broke that drought wit 27 points last week.LA really hasn't played much better losing 7 of their last 8 games while giving up at least 30 points in their last 5 losses while losing their last 4 games at home. LA is 16-34-1 ATS on their last 35 home games and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 as a favorite. They are 1-7-1 ATS in their last 8 games and 4-9-2 ATS in their last 15 games against the AFC. Take New York |

11-22-20 | Dolphins v. Broncos +3.5 | 13-20 | Win | 100 | 8 h 1 m | Show | |
Miami has surprised everyone by play good football and beating good teams but today they have to win in Denver which isn't that easy. They won 5 straight but 2 games were against the winless Jets and against a SF team wit half their starters injured. Their last 3 wins have been at home but tat is not the case today. Denver has lost 3 of their last 4 games but 3 were on the road where they aren't as good as home. They are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 against the AFC and are 6-3 ATS following a loss. Miami is due for a let down and they have to be well focused playing in Denver as the Broncos are a very tough team to beat at home. Look for Denver to take advantage of a Miami team that just might be tired. Take Denver |

11-22-20 | Steelers v. Jaguars +10.5 | 27-3 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 3 m | Show | |
Although still without a loss, Pitts burgh has been on the ropes recently. They won a big game at home last week but in their 3 previous game won by no more than 5 points and have had their lowest scoring games by far on the road. They had to come from behind in 2 of their last 3 wins and in 2 of their last 5 games were held below 300 yards on offense for the 1st time all year, and are 12-27-2 ATS in their last 41 games on the road against teams with losing home records. The Jaguars last 2 games they lost have been by 6 points total with 4 of their last 6 losses on the road. They have been a double digit dog just once in their last 10 games and covered that esily. They are only 1-8 but have played nuch better than their record indicates. This is a spot the Steelers may have their guard down and an opportunity for Jacksonville to steal one. Take Jacksonville |

11-22-20 | Bengals +1.5 v. Washington Football Team | 9-20 | Loss | -108 | 5 h 54 m | Show | |
The Bengals have shown they know how to score. They put up 27 points in 3 of their lst 4 games and QB burrows is having a good year as he has passed for over 2400 yards with 12 TD.s. In his last 3 games he has 6 TD's and just 1 pick as 2 of their last 3 losses were by 4 points or less. He completed over 70% of his passes fin 2 of his last3 games and seems to be getting better each game. Washington has lost 7 of their last 8 games a trend which continue as their offense which has scored 20 points or less in 5 of them continues to be a problem. The Covid bug has hit the Washington coaches and they will not be part of today's game. As the Bengals are getting players back from the Injury list, Washington is losing players which is something they can't afford. The Bengals are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 against losing teams and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 overall and 11-5 ATS in their last 16 as the road dog. Washington is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 as the home favorite and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games in November as well as 5-13 ATS in their last 18 after a loss. Take Cincinnati |

11-22-20 | Titans v. Ravens -6 | 30-24 | Loss | -109 | 5 h 53 m | Show | |
The Titans are 6-3 having lost 3 of their last 4 games while being held to 34 points or less in all 4 games. Their offense has sputtered after winning their first 5 games soring at least 30 points in all 5. Their defense hasn't played well either allowing at least 27 points in 3 of their last 4 losing all 3. In 2 of their last 3 losses they were beaten by double digits wile going 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 on the road. They Ravens got 3 of their last 4 losses on the road but are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 against the AFC and 5-3 ATS in their last 8 November games. They lost to Pittsburgh after blowing a 17-7 halftime lead and put up over 450 yards of offense. Their defense is their strength as they held 4 of their last 6 opponents to 17 points or less winnin3 of them. This is a good spot for them to pull out a big win as they are at home against a team bot playing well. Take Baltimord |

11-21-20 | Georgia Southern v. Army -3 | 27-28 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 52 m | Show | |
Both teams are 6-0 but Ga Southern can't seem to do anything but run like Army. They have not thrown for over 100 yards in 5 of their last 6 games while scoring 24 points or less in 3 of their last 4 games. Army doesn't pass much better but are at home which should make the difference in this game as they are 5-0 at home and are 4-1 ATS there. They also have a better defense that has held 4 of their last 6 opponents to 24 points or less while winning 4 of their 5 home games by double digits. Take Army |
|||||||
11-20-20 | Syracuse +19.5 v. Louisville | 0-30 | Loss | -114 | 9 h 3 m | Show | |
Both teams are 1-6 in conference play and both teams are on losing streaks. Syracuse has lost 5 straight while Louisville has lost 2 in a row. Syracuse has covered the spread in 2 of their last 3 as a dog when they were a 14 point dog or more. Louisville just lost their #1 back who opted out the rest of the season but can still put points on the board. This seems a bit too much to ask of a team that is 2-6 overall and the Orange are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 after a loss while Louisville is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 November games and 6-14 ATS in their last 21 conference games. Take Syracuse |

11-17-20 | Buffalo -30.5 v. Bowling Green | 42-17 | Loss | -114 | 7 h 45 m | Show | |
BG has an 0-2 record and has lost their last 5 games and 7 of 8 overall.

The Bulls have won 5 straight and 8 of their last 9 games overall and last week in what many considered would be a close game won 42-10 and the week before scored 49 points in a road win. They are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as the favorite and this week are playing one of the worst teams in the country. The Falcons are 0-5 ATS in both their last 5 November games and in their last 5 conference games. The Bulls have scored over 40 points in 5 of their last 7 games and BG is the last team in College Football to reverse that trend. Take Buffalo |

11-16-20 | Vikings v. Bears +3.5 | 19-13 | Loss | -113 | 9 h 6 m | Show | |
Minnesota is 2-12 ATS in their last 14 Monday night appearances and 0-4 in their last 4 meetings with the Bears. They have a 2 game winning streak but had lost 6 of their previous 7 games including 2 of their last 3 on the road with both losses by 17 points each. Last week in their win over Detroit they ran for 275 yards but they can't expect that against the Bears who are ranked 9th against the rush. That means they will need a passing game but are ranked 25th getting just 221 yards a game. They haven't passed for more than 248 yards in 9 of their last 10 games while Cousins has thrown 15 TD's and 10 picks with 3 of those TD,s last week. Chicago has dropped 2 straight after winning 6 of their previous 7 games but need to get their ground game going. They are 13-4-1 in their last 18 games as the home dog and 10-4 ATS in their last 14 against the NFC North. This is a good spot for the Bears to get back on track. Their defense hasn't allowed more than 23 points in 7 of their last 10 games. Take Chicago |

11-15-20 | Eagles v. Giants +5 | 17-27 | Win | 100 | 2 h 5 m | Show | |
NY has been playing competitive foot ball over their last 5 games or so. Although they lost 3 of them, they lost by a combined 6 points in all 3 while going 5-1 ATS in their last 6 overall. NY's running game has shown signs of coming together as they rushed for at least 132 yards in 3 of their last 4 games including a game against the Eagles in a 22-21 loss as they ran for 160. The Eagles were ranked 3rd last season against the run but have sunk to 24th. QB Jones for NY hs had his problems but has seen improvement. Last week he had no turnovers, passed for over 200 yards and led NY to 20 1st half points. Wentz has been bad if not worse as he has been sacked 32 times while throwing 12 picks and is dead last in QB ratings with a horrible 73.2. The Eagles are banged up which hasn't helped and id NY can win they are right back in contention. A team who has 2 of their 3 losses on the road has no business being almost a TD favorite. Take New York |

11-14-20 | Louisville v. Virginia -3.5 | 17-31 | Win | 100 | 5 h 11 m | Show | |
Louisville has lost 5 of their last 6 games which included all 3 of their road games so far. They gave up over 40 points in 3 of those losses including last week as they were beaten at home by Va. Tech 42-35 with the game not being as close as the final. They were down by double digits for most of the game and scored a garbage TD to get as close as they did in the last minute of the game. They give up 30 points and 400 yards a game split almost evenly on the ground and in the air. They are 4-10-1 in their last 15 games on the road and 7-17-1 in their last 25 as the road dog. Virginia broke a 4 game losing streak with an upset win over NC last week as they scored a 44-41 win at home. They lost 3 of their last 4 games on the road while 4 TO's sealed their fate in their only home loss but scored just under 40 points in both of their home wins. Today they are at home playing a team that has 1 win in 2 months.. Take Virginia |

WF is riding a 4 game winning streak and is 5-1 ATS in their 6 games so far. They scored at least 38 points in 4 of their 6 games and in their 2 losses only Clemson made it a clear win with their other loss being 45-42 at NC St. Their offense has produced a balanced attack that got at least 385 total yards in 4 of their last 5 games. The Tarheels have gone 2-2 since opening the season with a 3 game winning streak. While NC averages over 500 yards and 40 points a game, Wake isn't that far behind with over 400 yards and 37 points a game. WF is 3-1 in conference play while the defense has held 3 of their last 4 opponents to 16 points or less. This is a big game for both teams as the 3 leading teams in the conference are all ranked in the Top 10. This game should be much closer than the spread leads you to believe. Take Wake Forest |

Ohio is 0-6 ATS in their last 6games as the home favorite and last week in their 1st game were beaten 30-27 as they were outgained by 164 yards in the loss. They passed for just 235 yards and their total yardage was just 345. Akron also lost their 1st game as they fell apart in the 2nd half being outscored 28-0. Both teams need a win and this huge spread is too much for an Ohio team that hasn't shown anything so far. Take Akron |
|||||||
11-08-20 | Giants v. Washington Football Team -2.5 | 23-20 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 30 m | Show | |
The Giants have 1 win all year and their offense ranks at the bottom of the league in almost every offensive category with maybe the Jets being the worst. Washington has struggled offensively as well but their defense has been very good as they are in the top 5 in total yards and lead the league in pass defense. NY hasn't won a game on the road all year and don't expect that to change. Washington has only 2 wins but both were at home. NY is the worst team in the worst division in the league so I'll stay with the home team. Take Washington |

11-08-20 | Lions v. Vikings -3.5 | 20-34 | Win | 100 | 3 h 21 m | Show | |
Minnesota hasn't had a great year and hasn't won a home game yet. But Detroit looks like their spot to get that 1st home win. The Lions may have to play without their starting QB and have a list a mile long of injuries. The Vikings are coming off a big win at Green Bay last week and that may be the game that turns their season around. Their QB Cousins biggest problem has been throwing 10 picks but has over 1600 passing yards and thrown 12 TD's. Minnesota is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games while Detroit was crushed at home last week allowing 41 points to Indy. The Lions last 2 wins were against 2 last place teams with a combined 3-12 record. Take Minnesota |

11-07-20 | West Virginia +6.5 v. Texas | 13-17 | Win | 100 | 27 h 45 m | Show | |
West Virginia is 4-2 and leads the Big 12 in defense and is 2nd in offense. Last week they beat a very good Kansas St team 37-10 while 1 of their 2 losses was at Oklahoma St who are ranked 14th in the country. Texas has scored a bunch of points but their defense has allowed over 50 points in 2 games and allow 33 points a game on average. They give up over 400 yards a game while West Virginia allows 255 yards and just 19 points a game. I can't see Texas holding West Virginia form scoring and will have to get a bunch of points against the best defense in the Big 12 while also stopping the 2nd best offense. This game is a good spot for an upset so I'm taking the points. Take West Virginia |

11-07-20 | Michigan State v. Iowa -6.5 | 7-49 | Win | 100 | 23 h 52 m | Show | |
Iowa dropped their first 2 games as they blew 1st half leads in both games. With that in mind they need this game big time. In their loss against Purdue, they blew a 4th quarter lead letting Purdue score the last 10 points of the game and last week had a 20-7 lead and allowed Northwestern to score the last 14 points of the game. Turnovers killed them as the Wildcats turned 2 picks into the final 14 points scoring their last TD in the final minute. Iowa's defense did their job holding both Purdue and Northwestern below their season average in yards and outgaining both teams. The Spartans won against bitter rival Michigan last week but in their 1st game were beaten by lowly Rutgers gaining just 50 yards rushing and allowing 5 sacks. This is a good spot for Iowa to turn their season around and a good letdown spot for the Spartans. Take Iowa |
|||||||
11-06-20 | Miami-FL v. NC State +11 | 44-41 | Win | 100 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
Miami comes in with a 5-1 record and 4-1 in conference games. All 4 of those wins were against teams with losing records with no team better than 2-4. They won their last 2 games and their last game was a 19-14 squeaker against Virginia and they were a 13.5 point favorite with both wins at home. In 2 of their last 3 games they were held under 350 total yards in each game while their passing game was held to under 350 yards in all 6 games. The Wolfpack are at home where they are 2-0 and they are 4-2 overall. They went on a 3 game winning streak scoring at least 30 points a game before falling to the Tarheels last week on the road. They are 4-2 ATS in their 6 games while Miami is 1-2 ATS in their last 3. Take North Carolina St |

11-05-20 | Wyoming -3.5 v. Colorado State | 24-34 | Loss | -107 | 11 h 11 m | Show | |
After their opening game OT loss 37-34 to Nevada they came back strong and shut down Hawaii last week 31-7 as they rushed for 281 yards and held Hawaii's big passing game to just 110 yards. CSU lost their 1st game 38-17 to Fresno St as they gave up almost 350 passing yards while they were held to 223 yards in the air and 149 on the ground. They aren't sure which QB they will use as they have 1 that is a running QB and 1 who is just a pivot passer. It will be tough either way as Wyoming had 5 sacks and a pick against Hawaii as well as a fumble recovery. Wyoming brings a tough defense and a strong running game while going 5-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 6-1 ATS against teams with losing records. Take Wyoming |

11-05-20 | Utah State v. Nevada -17 | 9-34 | Win | 100 | 9 h 10 m | Show | |
Utah St is 0-2 giving up 38 points to SD St and 42 points to Boise St. IN both losses they were held to less than 225 yards total in both games and just 20 points. They gave up over 450 yards of offense in both losses. SD got 570 yards of offense with over 400 on the ground while Boise St had a more balanced game getting 279 yards in the air and another 171 on the ground. This week they face one of the best QB's in the conference as Nevada's Strong threw for almost 800 yards in his first 2 games. Utah's weakness is their offensive line as they rushed for just over 100 yards in both losses and passed for just over 200 yards combined in both losses. They are just 9-19 ATS against teams with winning records and 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games as a dog. Nevada is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 against teams with losing records. Take Nevada |

11-04-20 | Eastern Michigan v. Kent State -4.5 | 23-27 | Loss | -111 | 30 h 28 m | Show | |
The Eagles gave up at least 35 points in 5 of their last 7 games in 2019 along with a ton of yards. Even though 10 starters are returning their offense must find a way to produce with a first year starting quarterback and a questionable running game that lost 3 backs from last year. They basically have to put together a brand new offense. They were 7th in the MAC allowing over 30 points a game in 2019. Kent State brings back QB Crum who threw for over 2600 yards and 20 TD's. He also led the team with over 700 rushing yards and that could cause problems for a defense like the Eagles have. Kent States last 3 losses of 2019 were by 7 points or less while Eastern Michigan gave up at least 34 points in each of their last 4 losses of 2019. Kent State is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 overall. Take Kent State |

The Colts come off their bye week at 4-2 and a road game at Detroit. Their last game was a come from behind win against the Bengals at home when they scored 10 4th quarter points. They have had to rely on QB Rivers more than they'd like as they said they are committed to the run game but that hasn't worked as they are in the bottom 5 in the league running getting less than 100 yards a game. Both of their losses have come on the road and now are playing Detroit who are a better team in Detroit who have won 3 of their last 4 games holding the 3 teams to 23 points or less. Indy is 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 on the road. Take Detroit |

Even though the Vikings are 1-5 they have been getting over 400 yards of offense in 4 of their 6 games but their problem has been turnovers and Cousins is the main culprit with 10 Picks. Their 1 win was a road game and 2 of their last 3 losses were by just 1 point. The Packers are dealing with a boatload of injuries but Rodgers is having a good season. Three of their last 4 wins were against teams with a combined 3-12 record. The Vikings are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a dog and 38-14 ATS in their last 52 games after a loss. Take Minnesota |

They allowed over 200 rushing yards in both losses and were outgained in total yards in both losses. The Cowboys are 4-0 and their defense should get the bulk of the credit as they are ranked 8th in the nation allowing just 12 points a game. They held west Virginia to 13 points and they average 32 a game while Tulsa and Iowa St who average at least 28 points a games were held to 20 points combined. They have to keep pressure on Ehlinger because he can run as well as pass. The Texas defense which isn't as good as Oklahoma St must do the same thing as the Cowboys have a QB that can pass and also is a running threat. Another loss would really hurt the Longhorns and the Cowboys know that. The Cowboys have won 5 of their last 7 meetings and is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings. the Cowboys are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games. Take Oklahoma State |

10-31-20 | Boston College +29.5 v. Clemson | 28-34 | Win | 100 | 28 h 48 m | Show | |
The Eagles had running problems in their first 5 games as they were held below 100 yards in each but broke out strong last week with 264 against Georgia Tech. They still won 3 of those first 5 games and last week got their 4th win with a huge 48-27 win over Tech. Their QB Jurkovec has been really good completing over 62% of his passes throwing 12 TD's. If their running game continues this week, they could hang in with the Tigers who are hurting with 2 key defensive players hurting and might not play. In 1 of their 2 losses they gave a very good Tarheel team a scare as they lost by just 4 points as a 15 point dog. With their banged up defensive front they allowed Syracuse 150 rushing yards and Syracuse was within 6 points midway through the 3rd quarter before Clemson finally put them away. The Eagle defense has held 5 of their 6 opponents to 30 points or less and with starting QB Lawrence out this week, the Eagles could hang close if Clemson isn't careful. The Eagles are 21-6-1 ATS in their last 29 conference games, 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 as a dog and 19-7 ATS in their last 26 as a road dog. Clemson is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

10-31-20 | Memphis v. Cincinnati -6.5 | 10-49 | Win | 100 | 24 h 18 m | Show | |
Memphis comes in with a 3-1 record and one of the better offenses in the nation averaging 548 yards a game and ranked 5th in the country. The best defense they played and the only team not allowing at least 400 yards of offense a game was last week against Temple. They won that game but needed 31 2nd half points after being held to 10 in the 1st half. Their other 2 wins were against 2 teams that give up over 480 yards a game. But the worst defense in the nation is Memphis who allows 567 yards and 33 points a game. Cincinnati is 4-0 and their offense gets over 400 yards and over 37 points a game but their strength is their defense that allows 302 yards and 12.5 points a game, good for 10th in the country. In their last 3 games, their opponents were held to 13 points or less and under 300 total yards. Three of their 4 wins were by at least 20 points while Memphis is 5-12 ATS in their last 17 road games against teams with winning home records and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as a road dog. The Bearcats are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 overall and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 against teams with winning records. Take Cincinnati |

10-29-20 | South Alabama v. Georgia Southern -3.5 | 17-24 | Win | 100 | 29 h 38 m | Show | |
The Jaguars are 3-2 having won their last 2 games but now they have to start playing the better teams and need to pick up their game. They are 2-0 in conference but the teams they beat are combined 1-5 in conference and 1-12 overall and sit at the bottom of their division. Their last win was against ULM who is 0-6 averaging just over 300 yards a game while scoring 13.5 points a game. Their other win was against Texas St who isn't much better averaging 359 yards a game and is 1-6 overall and 1-2 in conference. Defensively both teams allow over 35 points and at least 425 yards a game and haven't had to face a rushing offense like the Eagles who are ranked 2nd in the Sun Belt and 13th nationally in yards per carry as well. The Eagles are 3-2 with both losses against teams that were ranked in the Top 25 at the time, Their last loss was to 20th ranked Coastal Carolina and the only game where their running game was held below 192 yards. They have run for at least 284 yards in 3 of their 5 games and over 300 in 2 of them. Jaguar QB Trotter misses 1 game because of injury and hasn't been 100% in any of the games he has played. They have talented receivers but need a healthy QB to get them the ball. The Eagles running game also has a QB that can run as Werts has gained over 300 rushing yards and 2 TD's on 60 carries. Unless the Jags can slow down the Eagle running game, their offense will be watching the game from the bench as the Eagles chew up the clock. The Jags are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 vs a team with a winning record and 4-10 in their last 14 games vs teams with winning home records. The Eagles are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 following an ATS loss. Take Georgia Southern |

Today's game has 2 teams that are 5-0 but the Titans have been scoring at least 31 points in their last 4 games and last week got over 600 yards of offense in their win. They are 2nd in the league averaging over 420 yards a game including being ranked 5th running the ball. QB Tannehill has thrown 13 TD's and just 2 picks and has completed at least 73% of his passes in 3 of his last 4 games. Pittsburgh scored at least 30 points in just their last 2 games and have won 2 of their games by 12 total points. This will be a good test for their defense wo haven't let a team score over 30 points so far but they have scored under 30 in 3 of their 5 games. The Titans are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 against the AFC and 6-2 ATS after an ATS win. Take Tennessee |

10-25-20 | Browns v. Bengals +3.5 | 37-34 | Win | 100 | 6 h 53 m | Show | |
Cleveland had their 4 game winning streak broken last week with a 38-7 trouncing by the Steelers. It was their lowest scoring game since their opening week beating 38-6 by the Ravens. They scored at least 32 points in those 4 wins but 3 of the wins were against teams with a combined 4-13 record and 1 win was against the Bengals in Cleveland 35-30. Their defense has trouble stopping the pass allowing over 270 yards a game and they are near the bottom of the league allowing over 31 points a game. QB Mayfield hasn't been very effective as he has passed for 10 TD's and 6 picks and in the last 2 weeks has thrown 4 picks and completed less than 60% of his passes and in 4 of his 6 games hasn't passed for over 200 yards. Their defense allowed 38 points in 2 of their last 3 games and their running game is what is helping their offense stay competitive but in the last 2 weeks were held below 125 yards in both games. The Bengals are 1-4-1 losing their last 2 games which were both on the road and their win was at home where they played just 1 game. Their last loss was by 4 points at Indy and they lost their previous game to the Ravens who are one of the best teams in the NFL. They lost by 5 points or less in 3 of their 4 losses and last week Indy scored the lst 10 points of the game in the 4th quarter to win. The Exact same thing happened in their loss to the Chargers the 1st week. QB Burrow has done a good job completing 65% of his passes but has thrown just 4 TD's but has thrown for over 300 yards in 4 of his last 5 games. This is a game tat will be very tough for Cleveland to win on the road as they are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 road games and 16-39-1 ATS in their last 56 games after a loss. The Bengals are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 meetings. Take Cincinnati |

10-25-20 | Packers v. Texans +3.5 | 35-20 | Loss | -114 | 6 h 48 m | Show | |
The Pack got their 1st loss last week when they were crushed by the Bucs 38-10 after winning their first 4. Their passing game has led to their success but were held to 107 yards in the air and got just 200 yards of total offense. Rodgers had been averaging 282 yards in the air but was shut down last week. They need him to pass as their running game has been held under 100 yards for 3 straight weeks and 3 of their wins were against teams with a combined 4-13 record. Their point production has fallen every week since they scored 43 in their 1st game and in their last 2 games was the first time they were held at 30 points or less. He threw his first 2 picks last week and in 3 of the last 4 games he hasn't reached 300 yards passing. Houston is just 1-5 but their first 3 losses were against the 3 best teams with a combined 15-2 record. QB Watson has thrown 15 TD's with just 3 picks while their last 3 losses were by 21 total points including last week's zOT loss to Tennessee. Their offense is showing signs of improvement as they have goten at least 386 total yards in their last 3 games and over 400 the last 2. They have the 3rd best passing game in the league but they are lacking a running game. This seems like a good spot for Houston to grab a win against a team that is struggling. Take Houston |

10-25-20 | Cowboys v. Washington Football Team -1 | 3-25 | Win | 104 | 6 h 46 m | Show | |
Dallas comes to Washington having lost 3 of their last 4 games including a 38-10 beating by Arizona in their last game. In their last 5 games they have allowed at least 31 points a game and are the worst in the league allowing over 36 points a game. They are 2-4 and 0-6 ATS in all 6 games this season. QB Prescott has done decent job but has thrown just 9 TD's with 4 picks but 7 of his 9 TD's and 3 of his 4 picks have been in 2 of his last 3 games as the Cowboys lost both games. He had his worst game last week vs the Giants as he passed for only 166 yards with no TD's and 1 pick. Washington is just 1-5 and the win was in their 1st game. They lost 5 straight since but have had injury problems to deal with. Both teams have new QBs as Dalton will start for the injured Prescott and Washington benched Haskins in favor of Kyle Allen who played his 1st game against the Giants completing 31 of 42 passes for 280 yards in a 20-19 defeat. Dallas will have their work cut out for them as they are playing with a decimated offensive line so it will be difficult for them to get into sync offensively. Washington is really starving for a win and with a new QB will give it their all. Dallas is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games. Take Washington |

10-24-20 | Iowa State +3 v. Oklahoma State | 21-24 | Push | 0 | 7 h 34 m | Show | |
After losing their opening game, the Hokies have stormed back winning 3 straight over me good teams. They beat TCU, Oklahoma and Texas Tech scoring over 30 points in each win. Last week they held Texas Tech to 13 points while getting over 500 yards of offense with over 200 yards on the ground and over 300 in the air. They got over 400 yards of offense in their 2 previous games with a balanced attack that got over 200 yards passing and running against TCU and over 280 yards in the air against Oklahoma. The Cowboys have also won 3 straight but they have beaten some light weight teams like Tulsa and Kansas in 2 of their last 3 wins. Last week against a very poor Kansas team the got over 500 yards compared to getting under 300 yards in their 2 previous wins and against Tulsa were held below 150 yards passing and rushing while soring just 7 points in a 16-7 loss. The Cowboys have a question mark at the QB position and they haven't played a game since their win over Kansas October 3rd so they could be a little rusty in this game. Their passing game is a big question mark as they haven't thrown for more than 250 yards in 9 of their last 10 games. The Cyclones are 20-7-1 ATS in their last 28 games as a dog and 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 October games. Take Iowa State |

10-24-20 | Florida Atlantic v. Marshall -16 | 9-20 | Loss | -109 | 4 h 43 m | Show | |
FAU has played just 1 game and face one of the hottest teams in college football when they go on the road and visit Marshall who is ranked 6th defensively allowing only 272 yards a game and ranked 3rd allowing 69 yards a game making them one of the best defensive teams in the nation. Combine that with allowing less than 10 points a game and playing this game at home really has FAU at a huge disadvantage. In their only game they got just 315 total yards including under 100 yards in the air. Meanwhile Marshall has outscored their 4 opponents 149-38 covering the spread in all 4 wins and not allowing a team more than 17 points. They have beaten FAU in 6 of their 7 meetings and covered the spread in 4 of their last 5. Marshall is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite and 14-5-2 ATS in their last 21 home games vs teams with winning road record. Marshall is playing some of their best football in years so this will be quite a hill for FAU to climb. Take Marshall |

10-24-20 | Nebraska v. Ohio State -26 | 17-52 | Win | 100 | 21 h 17 m | Show | |
For Nebraska it will be all up to returning QB Martinez to try and crack the Ohio State defense. Their offensive line was a problem last year allowing 28 sacks and their receivers have to pick up their game if Martinez has any success this season. Their defense gave up a ton of points averaging 28 a game and in their last 6 losses of the season allowed at least 7 points in 1 game and at least 31 in 5 others. The Buckeyes won 48-7 in last year's game and with Heisman hopeful QB Justin Fields who last season led them to a 47 point scoring average has another great offense to work with. They slammed the Huskers last season for 580 yards while scoring in 8 of their first drives. They lost a few starters defensively but have plenty of talent to get the job done. QB Fields completed over 67% of his passes and has one of the top receiving corps in college football. If Nebraska doesn't protect their QB and get a running game moving this game could be a repeat of last year's matchup. The Huskers are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games and conference games while also going 1-4 ATS in their last 5 on the road. The Buckeyes are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 at home and 9-3 in their last 12 as a favorite. Take Ohio State |

10-24-20 | Kansas v. Kansas State -19.5 | 14-55 | Win | 100 | 20 h 39 m | Show | |
Kansas comes in with an 0-4 record in which they allowed at least 38 points in each loss which ranks them 10th worse in the country allowing points. They also give up over 475 yards and over 36 points a game. Their offense has been held to 23 points or less in their last 8 games which were all losses. On offense they have to depend on a running game that has produced at times and if they fall behind early then they will have to pass and that is something they would rather not have to do as their running game is the ir only way to keep opponents offenses on the sideline. They will have to rely on just one RB as their backfield took a hit when Williams opted out of the rest of the season. Since their 4 point loss in their opening game the Wildcats have won 3 straight games and beat Oklahoma, Texas tech and TCU all who are pretty good teams. They won outright as a 28 point dog against the Sooners and covered the spread in 9 of their last 12 games and are 20-8-1 in their last 29 games after a bye week. The Jayhawks are 19-40-1 ATS in their last 60 road games and besides being 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games they are also 3-14 ATS following a bye week. These are teams going in the opposite directions as the Wildcats have won 5 of their last 7 games while allowing just 346 yards of offense a game. Take Kansas State |

10-23-20 | Dodgers v. Rays +1.5 | 6-2 | Loss | -117 | 33 h 41 m | Show | |
After learning a lesson in the Houston series by letting the Astros come back after being down 3-0, the Rays finally closed it out with a win in game 7. They dropped their 1st game against LA but bounced right back with a win yesterday 6-4. Snell had a great game pitching 4.2 innings allowing 2 runs and 2 hits with 9 strikeouts. Buehler goes for LA in Game 2 and he has pitched well giving up 2 runs or less in 8 straight games. He has also struck out 43 men in 32 total innings and the only knock against him is he pitched into the 6th in just 2 games leaving the bullpen to finish up. LA is 5-3 in post season play and just 2-6 in their last 8 World Series games. They are 13-3 in their last 16 interleague games against righties and 20-7 in their last 27 interleague games as the favorite. The Rays are 10-6 in postseason play with 3 losses against Houston. Morton goes for them and he has also pitched well allowing 3 runs or less in 8 straight games. He has struck out 31 batters in his last 29 innings and allowing just 2 HR's. They are 58-22 in their last 80 game against righties so with the teams and pitchers so close I've decided to go with the run line. Take Tampa Bay +1.5 runs |

10-23-20 | UL-Lafayette v. UAB +3 | 24-20 | Loss | -114 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
ULL is 3-1 losing their 1st game last week to Coastal Carolina as a 9 point favorite. Their defense allowed over 200 yards passing and rushing while their last 2 wins were by 5 points total. Their defense has allowed over 400 yards in their last 2 games and over 500 in the previous game. UAB is 4-1 with their 1 loss on the road in Miami. They have a balanced offense that passes for over 200 yards and rushes for 186 yards a game. In their last 2 losses they were held to under100 yards on the ground. They are 3-0 at home winning by at least 8 points in each game. ULL has allowed over 200 yards passing and rushing in 2 of their last 3 games and UAB is very tough at home and their balanced attack will cause breakdowns in the ULL defense. This is a very tough road game for the Cajuns and they need a defense that may not be up for the challenge. Take UAB |

Appalachian St with their running game ranks 5th in the country averaging over 269 yards a game should be able to control the ball which keeps the potent Arkansas passing game on the bench as spectators. Appalachian St is 2-1 when their big running game was held to under 100 yards by a vey good MAC Undefeated Marshall team. Their last game was a win over Campbell 52-21 as they gained over 530 total yards with over 400 on the ground which are both season highs. In their other win they scored 35 points and rushed for over 300 yards. This is the lowest spread they've been asked to cover except against Marshall. They seem to be able to pass when they need to as in the 2 prior games they passed for over 200 yards in both. The Red Wolves are 3-1 and they generate their offense in the air ranked 3rd in the nation averaging 384 yards a game while their running game was held below 60 yards in 2 of their last 3 games. Their defense allows over 480 yards a game which is 12th worse in the country and over 300 is allowed on the ground and last week allowed 269 in their 7 point win over GSU. They are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games vs teams with winning records and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 vs teams with winning home records. The Mountaineers are 4-1 ATS at home vs teams with a winning record. Take Appalachian State |

Green Bay has won all 4 of their games scoring at least 30 points in each win. The combined record of 3 of the 4 teams they beat is 2-12 and all 3 are in the bottom 5 of the NFL in points allowed as they all give up over 30 points a game. The Pack have a steady defense but do allow over 25 points a game. The Bucs had their 3 game winning streak broken with a tough 1 point loss to the Bears on the road where they got both of their losses. At home they scored at least 31 points a game while their defense have played some excellent football. They allowed 20 points or less in 3 of their games and are ranked 2nd in overall defense and 1st at stopping the run. This will probably be their toughest game so far if you look at the teams they played. The Saints were the best team they played and won that game by 7 points. This will not be the easiest place for the Pack to continue their streak as their offense will be tested by one of the NFL's best defenses. Take Tampa Bay |

Chicago visits the Panthers with a 4-1 record and winners of 5 of 7 overall. Without their defense that wouldn't be the case as they haven't let opponents score more than 26 points in any game and under 20 points in 4 of their last 5. They struggled offensively being held to under 275 yards offense in their last 2 games and surpassed 400 yards just once. Last week they held one of the best offense to 19 points in their 20-19 over the Bucs. The Panthers have won 3 straight but last week's 23-16 win was over a troubled Atlanta team who is 0-5. In 3 of their last 4 games they were held to 23 points or less and their winning streak broke a 7 game losing streak.

The Browns have won 4 straight since their opening loss to Baltimore scoring at least 32 points in 4 straight and winning by double digits in their last 3. Their offense is very well balanced as they pass for over 198 yards a game and run for 189 more. They are ranked 1st in running and 4th in scoring averaging over 21 points a game. Defensively they have to tighten up their secondary but stop the run well averaging 87 yards a game. They lead the league with 12 takeaways, 6 fumble recoveries and 6 interceptions. The Steelers are also playing well winning all 4 of their games but those teams have a combined 3-15 record as none of them won more than 1 game so far. They have a very good run defense and they will need it against the Browns. Cleveland is 3-0 ATS in their last 3 games and the Steelers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs the AFC. Pittsburgh can't take tis team for granted and had better be on their toes. Take Cleveland |

After putting up at least 281 yards of offense in their first 2 games, they've managed just 350 yards or less of offense in their last 3 games.

10-17-20 | North Carolina v. Florida State +14 | 28-31 | Win | 100 | 58 h 51 m | Show | |
UNC comes in looking for their 4th consecutive win. Their offense had an exceptional day last week getting over 650 yards of total offense with 399 yards from their ground game. They beat Virginia Tech 56-45 and held about a 20 point lead which started in the 1st quarter as they jumped out to a 21-0 lead. By the the middle of the 3rd quarter they had a 42-17 lead and were preparing to coast for the rest of the game but Tech scored 21 unanswered points and what had been a 25 point lead was down to 5 points. Their defense which had been allowing 350 yards of offense and 24 points a game, gave up almost 599 yards of offense to Tech with 260 on the ground and 235 through the air. They struggled the week before just beating Boston College 26-22 as their offense struggled for points being held to 12 in the final 3 quarters of the game as their passing game was held to 225 yards. This is the 3rd time in 4 weeks that the Seminoles will be facing a top 15 team as they are 1-3 with their 1 win coming at home. Their biggest let down has been a defense that was supposed to have one of the best defensive lines in the country but hasn't gotten the job done. Changing QB's has helped their offense as they scored 67 points in their last 7 quarters and just 23 points in their previous 9. Their offensive line has allowed the running game to stand out and they need that to open their passing game. The Tarheels rank 5th defensively in the ACC but were gouged for 45 points and almost 500 yards of offense last week. They will be without some key defensive players who are injured and they need to shut down the Seminoles passing game that did well in their game against the Irish with over 250 yards and were down by just 8 with a little over a minute left in the 1st half against them. This might be a little too much to ask of the Tarheels who might be in for a closer game than expected. Take Florida State |

10-17-20 | Braves +1.5 v. Dodgers | 1-3 | Loss | -145 | 11 h 41 m | Show | |
It looks good for Atlanta needing a win today to go on to the World Series and having their ace on the mound. Here's what we have--Fried made 14 starts including post season and Atlanta won 13 of those games as he allowed more than 2 runs in a game just twice and gave up no more than 6 hits in any one game. In all 73 of his innings he allowed just 4 HR's all year and wound up 7-0 with a 2.25 ERA going 4-0 at home and 3-0 on the road. So Atlanta couldn't ask for a better scenario. Buehler goes for LA as he started11 games including the playoffs going 1-0 with a 3.44 ERA. LA lost his last start to Atlanta 5-1 which was his 3rd post season appearance having LA winning the other 2. In his previous start he allowed 5 runs for the 2nd time in his last 5 starts. In his last 6 starts he gave up 12 runs and 21 hits in 29 total innings. LA wanted yesterday's game really bad but Kershaw didn't have his usual stuff so now its up to Buehler. Atlanta has the edge in today's game including momentum a very important factor in any sporting event. Take Atlanta +1.5 runs |

After losing their game against possibly the best team in the country, The Aggies got their 2nd win and are now 2-1. It was a huge victory since it was against the 4th ranked Gators and they had to cone back twice. Once with almost 10 minutes gone in the 3rd quarter down 2817 and again when they scored the last 10 points in the game to erase a 38-31 Gator lead with just over 6 minutes to play.

QB Costello threw 3 picks against Arkansas and then 4 more against Kentucky. The Aggies are hoping that their QB Mond can keep it going. He has thrown for 845 yards with 7 TD's with 1 pick while in his last 2 games threw 3 TD's in each for over 650 yards and 1 pick. They have to not forget about a Bulldog defense that even though they lost the game, they held Kentucky to 157 total yards of offense.

10-11-20 | Colts v. Browns +1.5 | 23-32 | Win | 100 | 55 h 49 m | Show | |
Cleveland and Indy are both 3-1 but have done so in different ways. Since the Colts opening game 27-20 loss to the Jaguars their defense has made the difference holding their last 3 opponents to 11 points or less. They are in the bottom half of the league offensively averaging 26 points and only 360 yards a game throwing for just 245 yards. Other tan a 36-7 beating of the hapless Jets, even in their 28-11 win over Minnesota passed for only 203 yards and 15 of their points were from FG's. In last week's win they passed for under 200 yards and needed 4 FG's to secure the win. The Browns were crushed 38-6 in their 1st game by Baltimore but have since won 3 straight scoring at lest 34 points a game and broke out for 49 last week in their road win over Dallas. They lead the league in rushing with over 200 yards a game and average 31 points good for 4th in the league. Last week was their best offensive game of the year getting over 500 yards in a balanced attack as they rushed for over 300 yards and passed for over 200. Their offense would be huge if Mayfield starts to put it together. The home team is 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings. Take Cleveland |

10-11-20 | Dolphins +9 v. 49ers | 43-17 | Win | 100 | 30 h 19 m | Show | |
Miami has a 1-3 record with their 3 losses against teams with a combined 10-2 record. In those losses the Dolphins were in every game losing by 3 to an excellent Buffalo team and against both New England and Seattle hung around to the very end as Seattle scored 14 4th quarter points and New England scored with 5 minutes to go to to end up winning by 10. Miami's defense gives up under 100 yards on the ground while allowing 24 points a game. Their offense also helps keep them close as they run for over 100 yards a game and throw for over 240. QB Fitzpatrick is pretty consistent but needs to get his numbers up as he's thrown just 4 TD's and 5 picks although 3 of them were in 1 game against the Bills. He completes 69% of his passes but they have had trouble scoring TD's in the Red Zone. SF is 2-2 but the troubling part of that is the wins were against the Giants and Jets who are a combined 0-8 while both losses were at home. Even with Garropolo they are 1-1 and he hasn't had a 300 yard game yet. Miami is 11-5 ATS in their last 16 as a dog and as a road team while also 5-2 ATS in their last 7 as a road dog. SF is 7-20 in their last 27 has a home favorite and 6-14 ATS in their last 20 October games. Take Miami |

The Eagles were held to under 20 points in their first 2 games which resulted in their 2 loses. Then they tied a Bengal team whose 2 losses were by 8 points total. The following week they beat SF a Super Bowl team a year ago 25-20. Their first loss to Washington resulted when the were outscored 13 -0 in the 4th quarter and allowed 8 sacks to their QB. Against the Rams they fell behind quickly but were only trailing 21-16 at the half and then let LA score 13 4th quarter points to make the game not as close as it really was. Pittsburgh hasn't scored more than 28 points in their 3 wins as they were up just 10-9 but scored a TD with 7 seconds left in the half th take a 16-10 lead over the 0-4 Giants wo actually passed for 262 yards to Pittsburg's 208. Big Ben has been effective but hasn't thrown for many yards as he threw for under 220 yards i 2 of their 3 games. Their defense has had to play well for them to come away with 3 straight wins. Philly on the other hand has gained at least 265 yards in each game but Wentz's 7 picks have been their biggest problem but the defense hasn't allowed more than 25 points in their last 2 games, improving on their first 2. They are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as a road dog and 10-4 ATS in their last 14 October games. Pittsburgh is 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 games as a favorite and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 at home as the favorite. Take Philadelphia |

10-10-20 | Miami-FL +14 v. Clemson | 17-42 | Loss | -108 | 59 h 49 m | Show | |
Two 3-0 tams who are ranked in the Top 10 meet for 1 of the better games being played on Saturday when Miami faces Clemson. Miami has had the tougher schedule so far beating Louisville and Florida St while scoring at least 47 points in each. Clemson is 3-0 but has played much weaker teams as they have been at least a 28 point favorite in each game and not covering the spread in all 3. They allowed Virginia over 400 yards on offense and 23 points. The Hurricanes held 2 of their 3 opponents to 14 points or less and average under 20 points allowed per game. Last week against FSU the ran for 200 yards and passed for over 300 while in their 1st game rushed for over 375 yards while covering the spread in all 3 of their games. This will be the toughest game for either team so far but 2 TD's is asking a lot of Clemson against a Miami team playing a Clemson team far different than those Championship teams we've seen the past few years. Take Miami |

10-10-20 | Oklahoma v. Texas +2.5 | 53-45 | Loss | -102 | 51 h 60 m | Show | |
Other than post season games this is the biggest game that Texas might play all season. It is 1 of the biggest rivalries in college football. Both teams average over 500 yards a game but Texas leads the nation in points scored. They run for over 190 yards a game and pass for over 300. Texas is 2-1 while the Sooners are 1-2 losing their last 2 games. Their only win was against a weak Missouri St team who they beat 48-0 and were a 47 point favorite. They lost their last 2 games allowing at least 37 points in each including a 38-35 loss to Kansas St as a 28 point favorite. Their running game which has always been a major part of their offense has been held to 123 yards a game and their QB is fresh out of high school and as a rookie playing in this game is a tough ask of him. Their running game will be tested again as Texas allows just 126 yards a game which means the Sooners must be successful in the air. QB Ehlinger is a seasoned veteran who will face the Sooners for the 5th time and he has already thrown 14 TD passes and just 2 picks. With their running game doing their job it opens up the Texas passing game which could cause all kinds of problems for the Sooners. In a game like this I would rather have the seasoned veteran taking the snaps in Ehlinger. Take Texas |

10-10-20 | Florida -6.5 v. Texas A&M | 38-41 | Loss | -109 | 28 h 58 m | Show | |
The Gators are ranked 4th in the country winning both of their games by at least 14 points. They are ranked 12th in offense averaging 495 yards a game and scoring 45 points which is 5th in college football. They scored at least 38 points in both wins while getting over 640 yards in their win over Ole Miss who they beat 51-35. The score is a lot closer than the game as Florida maintained over a 20 point lead throughout with Ole Miss scoring a meaningless TD wit under a minute left in the game. The Gators broke the game open against the Gamecocks opening up a 24 point lead with under 5 minutes left in the 3rd quarter while not allowing the Gamecocks to score more than 7 points in any quarter. The Aggies are 1-1 as they squeaked by 0-2 Vandy 17-12 and then getting hammered by Alabama 52-24 last week. QB Trask for the Gators has already passed for 684 yards and 10 TD.s with 1 pick in his first 2 games showing how strong their QB has the potential to be this season. This could be a huge problem for the Aggies who were burned for 435 passing yards and 4TD tosses by Alabama last week. They score 21 points a game and they will have to do better to defeat the Gators who average 45 points a game. Take Florida |

Both teams are playing on a short week with the Bucs rallying for a 38-31 win over the Chargers after being down by 21 while the Bears once again had their offense stalled scoring their lowest point total of the year losing 19-11 to the Colts. They are 3 -1 but their 3 wins were over teams with a combined 1-11 record. The Bucs won their 3rd straight scoring at least 28 points in each and winning 2 by double digits.

Together their QB's have thrown 10 TD's and 5 picks with their running game getting a season low 28 yards last week while the Bucs had their best offensive game getting 484 total yards. The Bears can't seem to figure out their offense while the Bucs keep improving as Brady becomes more familiar with the system. Chicago is 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 vs teams with winning records while the Bucs are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 as a road favorite.

Tulane who is 2-1 will play Houston who has had 5 games canceled due to Covid concerns and hasn't played yet. Tulane has done well on both sides of the ball and are 3rd in defense and 4th offensively gaining almost 450 yards a game. Their last win was a 66-24 beating of So. Miss as they rushed for 430 yards. They lead the AAC with 882 rushing yards getting 14 TD's on the ground. Houston lost their starting QB King who transferred and is playing with Miami but they can also run the ball. Tulane won 3 of their last 4 games while 3 of their last 4 losses were by 14 points total. Houston lost 5 of their last 7 games and this will be quite a test for a team playing their 1st game of the season. Tulane is 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games on turf and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 October games. Houston is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 against teams with winning records, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 as the favorite and 0-5 ATS after a bye week. This might be too much to ask of Houston considering they haven't taken a snap all year. Take Tulane |

They are in the bottom 10 giving up 29 points a game while they haven't passed for over 3oo yards in 5 straight games. After a loss to the Cards in their 1st game. SF has overwhelmed their last 2 opponents outscoring them 67-22. They lost their starting QB but Mullens has filled in nicely as he threw for 343 yards and a TD last week and was 8 for 11 when Garrapolo was hurt the game before. This is the Team that went to the Super Bowl so you can't count them out and against teams like Philadelphia when you are home is a must win if you want to go back. SF is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 5-1 in their last 6 as the favorite. Take San Francisco |

Last week they held the Jets to just a 1st quarter TD in a 36-7 beating and the week before shut down the Vikings 28-11 as they held the offense to less than 100 yards running and passing.

NO has dropped 2 straight games while allowing each team to score at least 34 points. The damage has been their secondary who gave up at least 275 yards in each loss. and 1 included a 37-30 loss at home to the Pack. They have been outscored in the 2nd half of both which could mean they are wearing down in the 2nd half. They face another good QB on the road as Stafford has thrown for over 800 yards with 5 TD's. They are very even offensively but the Saints have allowed more points per game. NO is 1-3 ATS in their last 3 games while Detroit is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 at home against teams with losing records.

They allowed over 600 yards passing in their last 2 games and that is what the Bucs and Brady do best. Take Tampa Bay |

10-03-20 | Arkansas v. Mississippi State -17 | 21-14 | Loss | -109 | 26 h 47 m | Show | |
Arkansas was hammered by Georgia 37-10 scoring just 3 points in the last 3 quarters of the game. The Bulldogs were able to get over 260 yards passing and over 120 yards running. Arkansas was held to under 300 yards of offense including just 77 on the ground. Even though LSU beat Miss St, the Bulldogs were able to score 27 points in the 2nd half and they passed for over 600 yards and 5 TD's which lead the country. Arkansas has lost 10 straight games and if they can't run their passing game is in trouble as the Bulldog defense got 7 sacks last week. Arkansas is 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 as a dog. The Bulldogs are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 as a home favorite and 11-4 ATS in their last 15 home games. If Arkansas can't put a rush on to stop the pass, then this game could get out of hand quickly. Take Mississippi State |

10-03-20 | South Florida v. Cincinnati -21 | 7-28 | Push | 0 | 22 h 50 m | Show | |
USF has lost 5 of their last 6 games including a 52-0 blowout by Notre Dame in their last game. They are also 2-4 ATS in those 6 games and scored 17 points or less in 5 of them. It won't get much better as the Bearcats are ranked 14th defensively in the country and have a balanced offense that gains over 250 yards in the air and over 170 on the ground. They have won 8 of their last 9 and shut down a very good Army running game to just 69 yards. The strength of USF is their running game but if Cincinnati can shut them down they really don't have a passing game as of yet and they could be in for a long afternoon with their defense spending a lot of time on the field where they will wear down eventually. Take Cincinnati |

10-03-20 | South Carolina +18 v. Florida | 24-38 | Win | 100 | 27 h 22 m | Show | |
For the past few years it was the Gator defense that anchored the team. They lost a bunch of key defenders an from last season and it showed s they gave up over 600 yards of offense to Ole Miss. Almost 450 yards coming through the air and 170 on the ground. They won that game 51-35. The Gators were able to gain over 600 yards on offense themselves and as a result won the shootout. Only LSU was able to put those kinds of points on the board when they beat Florida 42-28 last season. Besides them the Gamecocks scored the 2nd mot points in a 38-27 Gator win. The Gamecocks were beaten by a very good Tennessee team but were able to put up 27 points in a close 31-27 game. It was the only the 2nd time in their last 9 gams they put up that many points. They are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games as a road dog and in their last 10 meetings each team won 5 games and Florida went 0-1-1 ATS in the 2 games they were double digit favorites. The Spread seems high in this toughly fought series so I'll grab the points. Take South Carolina |

10-03-20 | Baylor v. West Virginia +2.5 | 21-27 | Win | 100 | 18 h 42 m | Show | |
Baylor lost their last 2 road games while their last 2 wins were against a soft Kansas team. Those were 2 f the 3 games they scored more than 31 points in their last 8. It won't be easier as West Virginia has played tough defense being ranked in the top 10 in the country. They allow 135 yards in the air which is 5th best and have 5 sacks and 15 tackles for losses to boot. They were hurt in their loss last week allowing a 66 yard run and fell behind early 20-7 but toughened up defensively and holding the Cowboys to just 7 2nd half points. The Bears were helped by 2 long kick returns for TD's in their win but had just over 350 yards of total offense with 149 through the air. West Virginia's passing game put up close to 300 yards in their 2 games but need to improve a running game that hasn't had a lot of success. QB Doege has thrown for over 500 yards completing 63% of his passing with 5 TD's. They are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 conference games and West Virginia is 4-0 in their last 4 meetings at home. Take West Virginia |

09-30-20 | Heat v. Lakers -5 | 98-116 | Win | 100 | 59 h 34 m | Show | |
Both the Heat and the Lakers are 12-3 in the playoffs and have beaten 3 teams to get to the 1st game of the Finals. Most people expected LA to be here but the Heat may have been the 3rd or 4th choice in the East behind Milwaukee, Toronto and the Celtics wo all had better records than Miami in the East. The Lakers not only had the best record in the West but the 2nd best record in the NBA. Miami doesn't have that 1 player like a Jordan or Bird or a Shaq that takes over a game to lead their team to a win. They have won playing as a team with 3 or 4 players being the hero in any given game but LA has James who many people argue is as good as or better than Jordan. He only has a few years left and he's won Championships with Cleveland and Miami with only 2 players winning championships with 3 different teams. It's the last great achievement that would help seal his legacy and separate him from other Hall of Famers. The first game in any Finals sets the tone for a Championship series and James and the Lakers want this one bad, As good as Miami has played they might be wearing down as they are 2-2 in their last 4 games and have allowed opponents to score more than in previous games barring OT games while LA has scored over 110 points in 7 of their last 8 wins. Both teams know the 1st game sets the tone in the series so I think LA and James with his surrounding players will be too much for Miami after the tough series the had with Boston as they are 6-3 in their last 9 games and LA is 8-1. Take Los Angeles |

09-27-20 | Packers +3.5 v. Saints | 37-30 | Win | 100 | 12 h 17 m | Show | |
The Packers lead the league in rushing and are 5th in passing. They are also 1st in scoring and yards per game with over 500. They scored over 40 points in each of their first 2 games and 1 was on the road against the Vikings. Rodgers has thrown over 600 yards and 6TD's without a pick and Jones has rushed for over 230 yards . Their offense is rolling right now. NO is 1-1 beating the Bucs in Brady's 1st game and then lost to Vegas as they gave up 34 points and watched the offense stall in the 2nd half scoring just 7 points. Brees has thrown for under 500 yards and just 3 TD's with a pick. He hasn't been the same for a while as his numbers go down as his age goes up. Green bay won 8 of their last 10 games and both losses were to SF on the road. NO is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 at home and 4-9 ATS in their last 13 as a home favorite. The Pack is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 overall and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 against teams with winning records. Take Green Bay |

09-27-20 | Lions v. Cardinals -5.5 | 26-23 | Loss | -102 | 56 h 24 m | Show | |
The Lions can't seem to buy a win. The Pack destroyed them in their 1st game and in their last game allowed the Bears to score 21 points in the 4th quarter to blow a 23-6 lead after 3. Noe they travel to Arizona where the Cards have something going. They beat Super Bowl SF on the road and came home and destroyed Washington. They are 7th defensively and 6th offensively as they average over 259 yards in the air and 170 yards on the ground. The Lions are ranked 27th defensively allowing over 300 yards in the air and on the ground. They are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 road games and 2-11 ATS in their last 13 overall and 2-9 ATS in their last 11 vs the NFC. Arizona has been improving offensively scoring at least 24 points in 8 of their last 10 games and are 4-01 ATS in their last 5 games. They seem to be a team on the rise but Detroit looks like the same hapless team they've been, Take Arizona |

09-27-20 | Cowboys +5 v. Seahawks | 31-38 | Loss | -110 | 56 h 21 m | Show | |
Seattle may be 2-0 but are ranked last in the NFL defensively. They give up almost 500 yards a game with over 480 yards coming in the air. They have shut down the run to 70 yards a game but numbers like that will come back to haunt you. Offensively they are 2nd in scoring but 1 win was against Atlanta who give up the most points in the league and the other was against the Pats who played their 1st game without Brady and company. They allowed a hobbling Newton just under 400 yards in the air but ended up winning both games. This week it's Dallas on the road who average 500 offensive yards with 400 in the air. The Cowboys put up 40 in their win over the Falcons and barely lost to a very tough Ram squad on the road 20-17 and the Rams are 5th in the league in offense. Prescott is ranked 4th in passing with over 750 yards. Dallas averages 130 yards on the ground and if they can establish a running game Seattle will have their hands full. Dallas is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 as the dog and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 as a road dog. Seattle is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 at home and 2-6 in their last 8 as the home favorite. Take Dallas |

09-27-20 | Bucs -5 v. Broncos | 28-10 | Win | 100 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |
Brady seems to be settling in at his new home. He has led the Bucs to a 27 point scoring average and has thrown for over 500 yards, but the Buc defense allowed the Saints 34 points last week but did hold Carolina to 17 in their only win. Brady gets Godwin back which gives him another target and with their offense Brady can put up some big numbers as time goes on. On the other side Denver lost QB Locke who was going to be their new QB and lost another receiver while still dealing with Von Miller being out on defense. They are ranked 28th offensively and are allowing over 270 yards in the air. Normally I like Denver as a home team but... as for the Bucs they are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 road games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs teams with losing records. They are moving in opposite directions. Take Tampa Bay |

09-27-20 | Washington Football Team v. Browns -7 | 20-34 | Win | 100 | 53 h 60 m | Show | |
In their 1st game Washington had to score 13 4th quarter points to get the win after falling behind 17-7 at the half. In that game Washington only produced 239 yards of offense with just 80 on the ground. Then last week fell behind again but couldn't catch up losing to Arizona 30-15 and once again just 316 total offensive yards. They allowed Arizona to run and pass giving up over 430 yards with 160 on the ground which opened up the pass for 278 yards. They lost 4 of their last 5 road games and are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 as a dog. Cleveland was hammered by the Ravens on the road but came up big with a 35-30 win over Cinci at home last week. They had over 200 yards rushing and passing as the game wasn't as close as it looked. If they can continue to protect Mayfield he is likely to take over this game as long as Cleveland continues to run as they are 2nd in the league and did run for 138 yards against the Ravens tough defense. Washington's front 7 are hurting so the Browns just might open this game up. Take Cleveland |

09-27-20 | Rams v. Bills -1 | 32-35 | Win | 100 | 53 h 57 m | Show | |
This will be Buffalo's toughest game so far. After beating The Jets and Miami the face the Rams at home. They scored at least 27 points in each game which is a good sign where last season scoring was tough to come by. QB Josh Allen started his 2nd season with 2 wins and is 2nd in the NFL in passing with over 720 yards, It was their defense that had to win those tough games in the past but if this is what to expect, Buffalo will be a force. The Rams had to squeak by Dallas at home and then beat a bumbling Philadelphia team putting them away in the 4th quarter. Their defense can be had as they gave up almost 400 yards on the ground in their 2 games and Buffalo leads the league running the ball. This is a huge game for Buffalo as they prepare to make a run for the playoffs but to do so means beating good teams like the Rams especially at home. Buffalo is on a mission and the Rams are figuring things out. Take Buffalo |

09-26-20 | Florida State v. Miami-FL -11 | 10-52 | Win | 100 | 85 h 25 m | Show | |
Last week was a huge win for Miami as the beat up Louisville 47-34 following a 31-14 win over UAB in their 1st game. In both game their offense gained almost 500 yards and they had success running and passing in both games. Louisville was a ranked team and the outcome was never in doubt as Miami led for start to finish. The Seminole lost a game they were 16 point favorites to a toothless Georgia Tech team who held the Seminoles to just 309 yards. They have been disappointing offensively for 2 years and has had to rely on their defense to keep them in games. QB Blackmon is in his 4th year and has never played as well as expected and you could almost blame him as the offensive leader as the problem but the coaching has been just as bad constantly changing but never improving. Miami's transfer QB D'Eriq king seems to have solved an on again off again QB problem and the great thing about him is he can run and pass. With a strong defensive line, Miami should be able to shut down the running which means Blackmon better have a good passing game which has been absent most of the time. Take Miami |

09-26-20 | West Virginia +8.5 v. Oklahoma State | 13-27 | Loss | -110 | 81 h 26 m | Show | |
The Cowboys barely beat Tulsa 16-7 last week and this is a team known for offense not defense. West Virginia in their opening 56-7 win over FCS opponent Eastern KY was more like a tune up for today's big game. QB Doege was pretty sharp passing for 228 yards and 3 TD's. When it was over WV had amassed over 600 yards of offense with 295 in the air. Offensively for the Cowboys they weren't satisfied at the QB position using 3 QB's last week and breaking in 4 new starters on the front line. Running the ball is what both teams do and the one that establishes the run controls the game. Given the 2 weeks extra time to prepare for this game gives WV an advantage especially time to focus on what's needed to be done. The Cowboys need to figure out what happened last game while WV needs to continue their play. WV is 4-1 ATS in their last 4 on the road and 7-1 ATS in their last 8 September games. The Cowboys are 1-3-1 in their last 5 as the favorite. Take West Virginia |

09-26-20 | Army +13.5 v. Cincinnati | 10-24 | Loss | -116 | 9 h 20 m | Show | |
Army outscored their first 2 opponents 79-7 and as usual had a strong running game that amasses 779 yards in the wins. Although their defense gave up less than 44 yards, the competition was weak. The Bearcats didn't have any trouble with FCS Austin Peay in a 55-20 win but they did allow 140 yards on the ground which is where they have to play well today. The key to this game is Army running and controlling the clock. The Bearcats can't score when their offense is on the bench. The Pressure is on Cincinnati to shut down the Army running game and that is no easy task. as army has a tendency to wear down defense. I like their chances against a Cinci team that really hasn't been tested. Army is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 vs teams with winning home records. Overall they are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 September games. Take Army |

09-26-20 | Kansas State +28 v. Oklahoma | 38-35 | Win | 100 | 6 h 11 m | Show | |
Kansas St dropped their 1st game and what we saw was an offense that is inexperienced and the Sooners have a brand new offense as well. Oklahoma came away with a win over an FCS opponent with over 600 yards of offense. That offense will be tested this week against Kansas who struggled on offense but held their opponent tp under 350 yards of offense. Kansas QB Thompson is very capable as he threw for 259 yards and 2 TD's. He is also a runner and last season threw for over 2300 yards and ran for another 400. He scored 11 TD's on the ground and was picked off just 5 times all year. If they can get a revamped defense playing well, they could be trouble for anyone. The Sooners are hurting on their defensive line and have a small secondary that can help Thompson's receivers and keep a passing game open for him without a Sooner rush. This game could be a lot closer than the numbers say. Kansas State is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 conference games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 as a road dog while overall they are 16-5 ATS in their last 21. Take Kansas State |

Miami can close out the series today with a win and my thinking hasn't changed much since we had Miami in the last meeting. This is what I said last time. --"Boston has been vulnerable losing 5 of their last 8 games and 2 of their last 3 against Miami. They are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Conference Finals and that must be playing on their minds. The Heat know that a win today is probably the biggest win so far. Boston cannot afford to fall behind 3 games to 1 which is a very difficult deficit. But they have played like that all through the playoffs-- playing come from behind. I don't think the Heat will let them do that in today's game. In their last 10 games the Heat have been the dog twice covering both times" The one difference is Miami takes the series if they win today and what could be more important. Have to do it again! Take Miami |

Miami jumped out to a 2-1 lead in the series led by their defense which has held opponents below their scoring average in 75% of their games. They are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games holding opponents 10 104 points or less in 5 of their last 8 games. They have fallen behind i their games with Boston and had to play catch up. They need to take control of the game in the earlier stages as to not wear at the end. Boston has been vulnerable losing 5 of their last 8 games and 2 of their last 3 against Miami. They are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Conference Finals and that must be playing on their minds. The Heat knw that a win today is probably the biggest win so far. Boston cannot afford to fall behind 3 games to 1 which is a very difficult deficit. But they have played like tat all through the playoffs-- playing come from behind.

LA is 8-16 on the road and out of the playoffs. They have been playing about .500 ball lately and Canning pitches with a 1-3 record and a 4.23 ERA. He has allowed at least 3 runs in 5 of his last 7 starts making it past the 5th inning in just 1 game. In his last 2 road starts he gave up 6 runs and 13 hits in 10.1 innings.

NO started their year with a big 34-23 over the Brady led Bucs 34-23 including 3 sacks and 2 picks. They know they are able to play with the best making the playoffs last year and are looking to go back. Their defense will be helped by a decimated Buc offensive line so look for that pressure on Brady. They are 35-16 ATS in their last 51 road games and 27-13 ATS against teams with winning records. As stated before they are hurting offensively while they almost blew a 34-15 lead against the Panthers in their last game allowing almost 400 yards on offense of which 269 were through the air. If the Saints get on track offensively, points could be flying for them and their defense got out to a 24-7 lead in their victory over the Bucs who scored 31 points on Sunday. Take New Orleans |

Tennessee squeaked out a 16-12 win at Denver last week despite outgaining them 445-221 yards. The score was closer than the game as the Titan kicker misses 3 FG's and an extra pt. QB Rivers should improve as time goes on and that would increase their offensive output. Their defense did their job holding Denver to under 100 yards rushing and just 150 yds through the air and that was a road game. The Titans are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games and 7-3-1 in their last 11 against the AFC West and 5-2-1 in their last 8 as the favorite. The Jags were dead last in their division and 2-6 in their last 8 ATS and the same as the last 8 as dogs.

Detroit lost to the Bears last week giving up 21 points in the 4th quarter. And now with Stafford back those last 9 losses without him last season is history. In their last 5 meetings Detroit is 3-2 and are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 meetings. Minnesota allowed the Pack over 500 yards of offense and that is not to be expected in today's game. These teams have played close games with 6 of the last 10 had the winner win by 7 points or less. Detroit is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 September games while the Pack is 1-4 in their last 5 against teams with losing records and 1-5 ATS after a straight up win. They even might have a slight letdown considering the importance of last week's game. Take Detroit |

SF has won 10 of 13 against the Jets but both teams have the injury bug. SF went to the Super Bowl last year so a lot is expected. More importantly NY will be without LeVion Bell. For NY Darnold passes for just 215 yards going 21-35 while Garroppolo just had an off day. This is the kind of game SF needs to get their game on track as the NY is dealing with some key injured players. SF is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings. This is a game most Super Bowl teams will use to sharpen up their skills for the new season. A solid SF team against a depleted Giant team should be one way. Take San Francisco |
