01-10-19 | Penn State +10.5 v. Nebraska | 64-70 | Win | 100 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
PENN STATE @ NEBRASKA Penn St lost their last 2 games but they were against Michigan and Wisconsin and their defense held both teams to 71 points or less. They held 7 of their last 10 opponents below 70 points but they struggle offensively scoring above 70 points in only 4 of their last 10 games. Over their last 5 games they held opponents to 66 points and just 44% from the floor. Nebraska has lost 2 straight games and allowed Iowa to score 93 points in their last. Nebraska has a good team and play well at home but Penn St was an 11 point underdog at Michigan in that loss and the game was a lot closer than the final score. This seems like too many points for Nebraska to cover against a good defense that consistently holds teams under 70. Take Penn State |

They broke a 3 game losing streak with a win at Dallas in their last game and have a 13-8 home record. The home team has won 7 of the last 10 meetings while the Lakers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games against Detroit at home. Detroit is playing as bad as they have played all year. Take Los Angeles |

01-09-19 | Iowa v. Northwestern -2.5 | 73-63 | Loss | -115 | 21 h 37 m | Show | |
IOWA @ NORTHWESTERN Iowa won their 1st Big 10 game but have yet to win on the road. They lost both road games by at least 16 points. They were just 4-14 in conference play last year with 3 of their wins on their home court and 9 of their losses were by double digits. Northwestern is 10-5 but has an 8-2 home record. They have a tough defense that allows just 63 points a game and at home that drops to 59. They are 6-4 in their last 10 games but 3 losses were by 11 points total and 1 of those was in OT. Iowa doesn't do well against good defensive teams on the road. Take Northwestern |
|||||||
01-09-19 | Clemson +4 v. Syracuse | 53-61 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 32 m | Show | |
CLEMSON @ SYRACUSE Clemson let Duke score the first 14 points in the 2nd half which broke open a close game as they lost 87-68 in their last game. They have 4 seniors in their starting 5 which anchors a strong defense that allows 67 points a game. They are 10-4 and 2 of their other 3 losses were by 7 points total. They averaged almost 77 points while hitting over 49% of their floor shots and the defense held opponents to 42% from the floor over their last 5 games. The Duke loss broke a 4 game winning streak but they have won 5 of 7 overall. Syracuse also has a good defense and they held 8 of their last 10 opponents below 70 points. They struggle offensively at times as they average 72 points a game hitting just 43% from the floor and 31% of their 3's. They are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against teams with a winning record and their last 3 meetings with Clemson saw the winning team win by 3 points or less. Take Clemson |

01-07-19 | Alabama -5 v. Clemson | 16-44 | Loss | -110 | 75 h 24 m | Show | |
CLEMSON VS ALABAMA These are the teams most people wanted to see in this game and with both having records of 14-0, it seems like a match made in heaven. On paper they mirror each other with the Tigers ranked 3rd and the Tide ranked 4th offensively while defensively the Tigers are ranked 9th and the Tide is ranked 12th. Of the last 8 teams that Clemson beat in the regular season, 6 had conference records of .500 or below with 2 being ranked at 16th and 17th. Alabama's last 8 games were against 4 teams with records of .500 or better while beating 3 ranked teams of which 2 were in the top 5. But the biggest difference is at QB where the Tide's Tagovailia has the best rating (205.2), 3rd (41 TD passes) and 5th (69.5% completion) and 2nd (11.4 yds per attempt). Clemson relies a lot more on their running game and that is one of the toughest things to do against Alabama's defense. Alabama was behind at the half in just 1 game all year while scoring at least 28 1st half points in 9 games including their win over Oklahoma. Take Alabama |

01-06-19 | Nebraska -2.5 v. Iowa | 84-93 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
NEBRASKA @ IOWA Nebraska lost a heartbreaker 74-72 at Maryland in their last game and you can point to 15 of 23 from the foul line as the reason they lost. They had won 7 of 9 before that game as well as going 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games. Over their last 5 games they are averaging 82 points a game while draining close to 44% of their 3's. They have the 9th ranked defense in the country that allows only 59 points a game while limiting teams below 38% from the floor which is 10th in the nation. Overall they are 35-16-1 ATS in their last 52 games including 17-4 ATS against the Big 10. Iowa seems to do the same thing every year as they win their out of conference games and then get hammered in the Big 10. Last year they were 4-14 in conference and this year are 11-3 with all 3 losses to good defensive teams in the Big 10. They were held to 70 points or less in all 3 games but average 82 points against the weak out of conference teams. Their defense allowed 2 of the teams to score at least 86 points. There is no question who the better team is. Take Nebraska |

01-06-19 | Eagles +6 v. Bears | 16-15 | Win | 100 | 103 h 35 m | Show | |
EAGLES @ BEARS Philadelphia won 5 of their last 6 games including their last 2 road games to get to the Wildcard game. That included a 30-23 win over the Rams on the road and LA was tied for the best record in the NFC with the Saints at 13-3. That was the Rams only loss at home all year while the Eagles went 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games. They were the 7th best passing team in the league and Foles who took over for Wentz, guided them to 3 straight wins to finish out the season as he completed at least 71 % of his passes while throwing 6TD's and just 2 picks in his last 2 games. They were more of a bend don't break defensively as they allowed less than 22 points and less than 100 yards rushing a game. Chicago played great defense allowing less than 300 yards and only 18 points a game as they won 9 of their last 10 games including their last 5 home games. They were touch and go offensively being ranked 21st and Trubisky passed for over 250 yards just once in his last 8 game while throwing just 5 TD's and 5 picks in his last 5 games and no more than 1 TD in 5 of his last 7. This might be a closer game than you would think as the Eagles were 3-0 SU/ATS in their last 3 meetings. Take Philadelphia |

01-06-19 | St Bonaventure v. George Mason -5.5 | 53-68 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
ST BONAVENTURE @ GEORGE MASON The Bonnies have lost 4 straight games while being held to 62 points or less in 3 of them and are averaging just 65 points scoring over their last 5 games. They average just 67 points game hitting less than 44% from the floor for thr season while their last 3 wins were against teams with a combined 13-29 record. Their record is 4-9 with all 4 wins coming at home while losing by double digits in 5 of their last 7 losses. They are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games and 0-6-1 ATS in their last 7 away games. George Mason has had a tough schedule and are 7-7 but won their last game 85-60 on the road to a tough St Joes team while 3 of their last 4 losses were against Baylor, Cincinnati and a tough 1 point loss at Kansas St. They got 5 of their 7 wins at home as they held opponents to just 67 points a game and 43% shooting from the floor. This is a good spot on their home court to grab a nice win against a weak Bonnie team. Take George Mason |
|||||||
01-06-19 | Chargers +2.5 v. Ravens | 23-17 | Win | 100 | 124 h 36 m | Show | |
CHARGERS @ RAVENS The Chargers finished the season winning 8 of their last 10 games including 5 straight road wins where they were 7-1 as well as being tied for the best record in the AFC. Led by Rivers with over 4300 passing yards and 32 TD passes, they averaged over 26 points a game while defensively they were ranked 9th allowing less than 21 points a game. They held 6 of the last 8 opponents they beat to 21 points or less. Baltimore led the league defensively allowing less than 300 yrds and 18 points a game. Offensively they averaged 24 points a game but were held to 24 points or less in 7 of their last 10 games while Jackson who took over at QB had just 1 game he passed for more than 200 yards in his 8 starts since replacing Flacco. Rivers has the experience and that is what you look for in the playoffs not to mention having one of his best seasons as a pro. Take Los Angeles |
|||||||
01-06-19 | Xavier +9 v. Marquette | 52-70 | Loss | -107 | 4 h 3 m | Show | |
XAVIER @ MARQUETTE Xavier fell apart in the last few minutes of their last game against Seton Hall in an 80-70 loss. They had previously won 7 of 9 games losing to both Missouri and Cincinnati on the road. They have a very well balanced offense with 6 players averaging at least 9.5 points a game and 5 of them average double digits with 3 hitting over 52% from the floor. This is a huge rivalry with Xavier winning 8 of their last 10 meetings with Marquette including 3 of the last 4 at Marquette. They have held opponents to 42% shooting and less than 70 points over their last 5 games while knocking down 49% from the floor and hitting 37% of their 3's. Marquette has won 8 of their last 10 games but were held to 69 points on 41% shooting by St Johns in a 20 point loss in their last game to start conference play. This is a big spread to ask Marquette to cover as the spread in their last 10 meetings were below 10 points in 7 of them while Xavier is 17-8 ATS in their last 25 road games. Take Xavier |
|||||||
01-05-19 | Raptors v. Bucks -6 | 123-116 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 41 m | Show | |
RAPTORS @ BUCKS Toronto was hammered 125-107 in their last game at San Antonio while not winning more than 2 straight games in over a month. Since winning 8 straight games in November, they are just 8-8 since and 6 of the losses have been on the road. A good part of that has been injury related and only being able to win at home. They are on the road again and still have the injury problem while facing the NBA's highest scoring team. The Bucks have won 9 of their last 10 games including their last 5 home games. They won their last game 144-112 and it was the 3rd straight game of scoring over 120 points and have done that in 4 of their last 5 home games. They are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games while Toronto is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 road games. The Bucks have won the last 3 meetings this season and covered the spread in all 3 wins. Take Milwaukee |
|||||||
01-05-19 | Michigan State v. Ohio State +2.5 | 86-77 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 57 m | Show | |
MICHIGAN STATE @ OHIO STATE The Spartans have won 7 straight games and are 12-2 overall with both losses in games away from their home court. Their last loss was on the road at Louisville while 8 of their wins were at home. They scored at least 81 points in their last 5 home games but reached 80 just once in their last 4 away games including a season low 63 points at Florida and now face the Buckeyes who are 1 of the best defensive teams allowing just 62 points a game. They also could be without Langford their 3rd leading scorer who averages 15 a game. Ohio St is 12-1 including an 8-1 home record with that loss to Syracuse in their worst shooting game of the year. They average over 80 points a game at home with 7 players that score over 7.5 points a game and 2 of their top 3 scorers hitting over 41% of their 3's. They have held 5 of their last 6 opponents to 67 points or less and I look for their defense to be too much for the Spartans. Take Ohio State |
|||||||
01-05-19 | Creighton v. Butler -4.5 | 69-84 | Win | 100 | 4 h 50 m | Show | |
CREIGHTON @ BUTLER Creighton won their 1st conference game at Providence and now will play their 2nd straight road game. This could be their toughest game yet as they average 8 points less scoring on the road and Butler is a very good defensive team at home allowing opponents 67 points a game. They have hit over 50% of their shots but again Butler allows teams just 43% from the floor at home. Butler also scores 81 points a game at home while hitting 50% from the floor and 40% of their 3's with those stats being higher than their overall averages. They lost their 1st conference game to the Hoyas and they don't want to start out 0-2 in the Big East. Look for them to come back as a hungry team that gets it done at home. Take Butler |

01-02-19 | Nebraska v. Maryland | 72-74 | Win | 100 | 10 h 38 m | Show | |
NEBRASKA @ MARYLAND Nebraska is 11-2 with both losses away from their home court and one to Big 10 rival Minnesota. They average over 80 points a game but just 73 on the road and the defense allows over 75 points a game. They are playing a Maryland team that was 15-3 at home last year and all 3 of their losses were by 5 points or less. Two of those losses were against Virginia ang Purdue so thos os not a team to be taken lightly. The terps at home might be the toughest game for Nebraska since their beating at the hands of Texas Tech. Take Maryland |

01-01-19 | Texas v. Georgia -12.5 | 28-21 | Loss | -104 | 53 h 49 m | Show | |
TEXAS VS GEORGIA If not for a last minute TD and a blown 14 point lead, instead of Alabama it would have been Georgia in the CFB Championship. Offensively they are ranked 9th averaging 479 yards and over 39 points a game. They are very well balanced averaging over 250 yards on the ground and over 225 in the air while defensively they allow just 311 yards and 18.5 points a game. Texas won 3 of their last 4 games but their defense was inconsistent allowing at least 34 points in 4 of their last 6 games and at least 34 points in 4 of their last 5 games away from home. They average over 30 points a game but were held below that in 3 of their last 4 wins and in their last 3 games. Georgia won 8 of their last 10 games and all by double digits. They should be able to stop the Longhorns and wear down the defense. Take Georgia |

01-01-19 | Jazz v. Raptors -3 | 116-122 | Win | 100 | 10 h 28 m | Show | |
JAZZ @ RAPTORS. Utah has a 5-5 record in their last 10 games and have lost 3 of their last 4 road games. They average 105 points a game and are playing in Toronto where the Raptors are 14-4 in home games. The Raptors are 4-4 in their last 8 games and all 4 losses were on the road. They score 112 points a game while the Jazz are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 meetings. Toronto won their last game and this will be a tough place for Utah to pick up a win. Take Toronto |
|||||||
01-01-19 | Iowa +7.5 v. Mississippi State | 27-22 | Win | 100 | 26 h 8 m | Show | |
MISSISSIPPI STATE VS IOWA This game features 2 of the best defenses in the country with both ranked in the top 6. Both defense allow less than 300 total yards a game and the Bulldogs allow 12 points a game while Iowa allows 17. All 4 of the Bulldog losses were against teams with very good defenses who are all ranked in the top 30 in the country and they scored a total of just 16 points in those losses. They put up big numbers in 3 of their last 6 wins against inferior teams where they were at least 24 point favorites. Iowa won their last 2 games and all 4 losses were against the elite of the Big 10 with 3 by 6 points or less. If you compare schedules, Iowa had a much tougher one and played much tougher teams. I don't see how either team could be more than a FG favorite so I take the generous spread Take Iowa |
|||||||
12-31-18 | Northwestern +7.5 v. Utah | 31-20 | Win | 100 | 290 h 16 m | Show | |
NORTHWESTERN VS UTAH NW won 7 of their last 10 games and all their losses were to teams ranked 7th or better nationally. Their defense held 6 of the 7 opponents they beat to 19 points or less and for the season allow less than 24 a game. They had a rough start as they lost 3 of their first 4 games but won 7 of their last 9 and they don't have a problem playing away games as they were 5-1 on the road. Utah had a similar year starting 2-2 before winning 7 of their last 8 games and then losing the Pac 12 Champonsip game 10-3 to Washington. Their offense took a hit when they lost their starting QB who might see action for the first time in 5 games but will be without their leading receiver. Utah might have a small edge defensively but their schedule wasn't as tough. Take Northwestern |
|||||||
12-31-18 | Missouri v. Oklahoma State +10 | 33-38 | Win | 100 | 24 h 10 m | Show | |
MISSOURI VS OKLAHOMA STATE Missouri won their last 4 games but the only notable win was over Florida as their other 3 wins were against the worst in the conference as those teams were a combined 5-21 in conference play. Make no mistake that they can score led by QB Lock who passed for over 3100 yards and threw 25 TD's. Their defense has been vulnerable as they allow over 250 yards passing while allowing 6 of their last 10 opponents to score at least 28 points and 5 of them score over 30. The Cowboys finished up 6-6 but not because of lack of offense. They average 500 yards and over 38 points a game with a very balanced running and passing game. They lost by 7 points or less in 5 of their losses and scored at least 31 points in 3 of those including a tough 48-47 loss at Oklahoma. This seems like too many points to cover against this high powered offense. Take Oklahoma State |
|||||||
12-31-18 | Pittsburgh +5 v. Stanford | 13-14 | Win | 100 | 47 h 21 m | Show | |
STANFORD VS PITTSBURGH Stanford won their last 3 games but the competition wasn't that special. Their defense ranked 75th allowed over 400 yards and over 24 points a game. Their offense was outgained in 4 of their last 6 games and they will be without RB love and WR Irwin along with a couple of offensive linemen. They are ranked 83rd offensively averaging almost 30 points a game. Pittsburgh lost their last 2 games to Clemson and at Miami while playing Notre Dame close in a 19-14 loss. Their running game averages over 200 yards a game and they score almost 27 points a game. Defensively they held 5 of their last 7 opponents to 24 points or less and played a much tougher schedule than Stanford. Take Pittsburgh |

12-30-18 | Browns v. Ravens -6 | 24-26 | Loss | -110 | 100 h 38 m | Show | |
BROWNS @ RAVENS Cleveland visits Baltimore who can wrap up their division with a win over the Browns. Clevelnd has won 3 straight games but is just 2-5 on the road and 7-7 overall. Mayfield has had a great rookie year but their defense is ranked 29th allowing over 388 yards and over 24 points a game but their offense struggles at time scoring just over 22 points a game. Baltimore has won 5 of their last 6 games and their #1 ranked defense allowed just 21 points or less in the wins. Their defense leads the league in points allowed, yards allowed and rushing defense. They need this game and Cleveland will have a tough time with the Raven defense. Take Baltimore |

12-30-18 | Falcons +1.5 v. Bucs | 34-32 | Win | 100 | 96 h 18 m | Show | |
FALCONS @ BUCS Atlanta has had a disappointing year including a 5 game losing streak.But they have won their last 2 games while QB Ryan who is ranked 3rd in the NFL has thrown for over 4500 yards and 33 TD's against just 6 picks. They are ranked 8th offensively and average 382 yards and over 25 points a game. They preety much live and die on the pass and now face the Bucs who rank 24th allowing over 250 yards a game in the air. The Bucs also allow over 124 yards on the ground and that should open up the air for Ryan to have a big day. Although the Falcon defense has holes, the Bucs offense has stalled and they have been held to 20 points or less in their current 3 game losing streak. Take Atlanta |

12-29-18 | Notre Dame v. Clemson -13 | 3-30 | Win | 100 | 290 h 55 m | Show | |
NOTRE DAME VS CLEMSON The Irish finished their undefeated season with a lackluster win against USC 24-17. Their opponents haven't been very tough as the have been at least double digit favorites in their last 6 games. Their offense can put points on the board and 450 yards a game and they face Clemson that allows less than 300 yards a game which is 4th in the country. Clemson can score as well being ranked 4th offensively and averaging over 45 points a game. They are hungrier as would surely like to get into the Championship game as they were denied a win last year by Alabama. Take Clemson |

FLORIDA VS MICHIGAN The Gators won their last 3 games scoring at least 35 points a game. Their offense averages over 400 yards and 35 points a game and they are well balanced both running and passing for over 200 yards a game. Defensively they allow less than 350 yards and 20 points a game and have outgained 9 of their last 10 opponents while winning 8 of their last 10 with 1 of the losses to Georgia. Michigan was destroyed 62-38 in the Big 10 Championship by Ohio St for a disappointing end of their season. Their offense scores 37 points a game but against the better defenses in the Big 10 didn't score as much. Florida has a good defense a nd more motivation not to mention the points. Take Florida |

SPURS @ NUGGETS The Spurs have won 8 of their last 10 games but 7 were at home. They have won 19 games and 14 were at home while they are 5-11 on the road. This is the 2nd game of a back to back between these teams and though the Spurs won the 1st, Denver hit 18 3 pointers and now they are home where they are 13-3. This will be a tough place to pick up a win for San Antonio as the home team has won 9 of their last 10 meetings. Take Denver |

12-28-18 | Iowa State +3 v. Washington State | 26-28 | Win | 100 | 54 h 6 m | Show | |
IOWA ST VS WASHINGTON ST Iowa St almost ran the table to close out the year but won 7 of their last 8 with the loss only to a tough Texas team at home. Not noted for their offense, they scored at least 27 points in all 7 wins and at least 30 in 4 of them. Their 32nd ranked defense is used to playing high powered offenses and beat both West Virginia and Oklahoma St who are both top 25 offenses. Their defense ranked 32nd overall is a bend don't break kind that allows 351 yards and 22.5 points a game. They were 2nd in the Big 12 in red zone defense and 1st in points allowed. Washington St comes in after losing their last game to rival Washington 28-15 and play in the no defense Pac 12. who have 6 teams that allow at least 27 points a game and 4 of them over 30 a game. They are one dimensional and rely solely on a passing game while the running game is 2nd worst in the country. They will have their hands full with a fired up Cyclone team on a roll. Take Iowa State |

12-28-18 | Raptors v. Magic +6.5 | 87-116 | Win | 100 | 10 h 42 m | Show | |
RAPTORS @ MAGIC To put it simply Toronto is banged up and havve gone 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games. They have also lost 3 of their last 4 road games and are 0-4 ATS in those away games. Orlando held Toronto below 100 points in 2 of their last 3 meetings and Toronto is only 5-5 in their last 10 games while they lost just 10 for the whole season. This will be a tough place for the Raptors to win let alone cover the spread. Take Orlando |

DREXEL @ NORTHEASTERN Drexel lost 2 straight games but theywere to Temle and Connecticut where they were double digit dogs. Now they again are a double digit dog against a team not as good as either of those. They covered the spread in 3 of 4 prior to those losses as they average 76 points a game while hitting 37% of their 3's. Against a good Temple team they had 4 players hitting double digits in scoring. Northeasten average 71 points a game and are 0-2 ATS as double digit favorites. and they are 4-5 in their last 9 games.

They will be without their 4th leading scorer and 3rd leading rebounder as Mirotic is still hurt. Dallas is at home where they have won 3 of their last 4 and have a 13-3 record. They have lost 5 straight with 4 of them on the road but continue to score points as they scored at least 116 points in each of their lst 4 games. With the Pelicans playing poorly on the road and Dallas' strength at home, this should be a win for the Mavericks. Take Dallas |

12-26-18 | Minnesota v. Georgia Tech -5.5 | 34-10 | Loss | -109 | 54 h 30 m | Show | |
MINNESOTA VS GEORGIA TECH Minnesota beat Wisconsin 37-15 in it's final game to become bowl eligible to take on the Yellow Jackets. They will be facing the country's best rushing attack as Georgia Tech averages 335 yards on the ground a game. The Gophers are ranked 76th as they allow over 170 yards rushing and 28 points a game. Their offense ranked 92nd overall averages 379 yards a game and has been outgained in 7 of their last 10 games. They pass for just 215 yards a game so if they fall behind will have trouble catching up and Georgia Tech with their powerful rushing attack can keep the offense off the field controlling the ball. Georgia Tech won 6 of their last 8 games and 1 of the losses was against powerful Georgia in their last game. With uncertainty at QB and their best LB sitting this game out the Gophers could be in for a long day. Take Georgia Tech |

UNLV VS BUCKNELL UNLV has lost 4 of their last 6 games and some of the losses were against some bad teams. They lost to both Illinois amd Valparaiso who are both struggling against everyone. They don't shoot well hitting just 38% in their last 5 games while allowing opponents to score 75 points a game. Bucknell has lost 3 of their last 4 but against all very good teams including a 73-71 loss to 15th ranked Ohio St, They are a disciplined team that doesn't make mistakes and have 5 players averaging at least 9.5 points a game. UNLV is 0-3 ATS in their last 3 games as a favorite wile BucKnell us 4-1 ATS in their last 5 as a dog. Take Bucknell |

12-23-18 | Packers +1.5 v. Jets | 44-38 | Win | 100 | 74 h 31 m | Show | |
PACKERS @ JETS This isn't the most highly anticpated game on the schedule Sunday, but I see value with the Packers to get a win here in New York. The Jets are bad, real bad. They have lost seven of their last eight overall, and they haven't covered now in four straight home games. The last time they played the Packers at home, they were shutout. The Packers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS loss, and the road team is 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings. This is familiar territory for Green Bay in recent seasons, but the Packers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games in Week 16. Take GB. |

12-22-18 | Redskins +12 v. Titans | 16-25 | Win | 100 | 6 h 51 m | Show | |
REDSKINS @ TITANS Nobody likes Washington in Saturday's game at Tennessee, and really ... what is there to like. An injury plagued team already eliminated from the playoffs with a third string quarterback under center? Well that's what they said last week too, and the Skins pulled off a shocking upset win over the Jags in Jacksonville. The Titans aren't exactly the kind of team that you want to bet on as a double digit favorite. They rank 27th in the NFL in scoring, averaging under 20 points per game. Washington has won outright in two of the last three head to head meetings, and all of those games were decided by three points or less. The underdog is 5-0 ATS in the last five head to head meetings between these teams. Take WASH. |

12-19-18 | Ohio v. San Diego State +3 | 27-0 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
SAN DIEGO STATE VS OHIO The Aztecs lost their last 3 regular season games with 2 of the losses by 4 points total and 3 of their last 4 losses by 8 points total. They are ranked 18th in overall defense allowing just 327 yards and 22 points a game and excel at stopping the run as they are 4th in the country allowing just 94 yards a game. They have wins against Arizona St and Boise St while suffering a tough 23-14 loss to Fresno St who they were leading at the half. They held Arizona St to just 21 points and when they beat Air Force, held the 4th best rushing team to 70 yards below their average. Ohio won 5 of their last 6 games scoring at least 49 points in each win. They rely on a running game that averages 262 yards a game and scored 38 rushing TD's. Of their last 6 wins, 4 were against teams that allow at least 28 points a game and 3 that are ranked 101st or worse in total defense while 2 allow over 40 points a game. All 4 of their losses were against good defensive teams that are all ranked in the top 50 in the country. Take San Diego State |

WOFFORD @ MISSISSIPPI STATE Wofford will be playing it's 3rd ranked team and 5th Power 5 school this season. They are 9-3 with their losses to Kansas, North Carolina and Oklahoma while they crushed South Carolina by 20 points. They average 82 points and 38 boards a game while hitting 47% from the floor and 38% of their 3's. They are 8th in the nation in made 3 pointers with 3 of their top 4 scorers hitting at least 41% of them. They play good defense as well holding their last 5 opponents to 63 points on 40% shooting from the floor and have won 7 of their last 8 games with the loss to Kansas. The Bulldogs have won 6 straight with their last 2 over Cincinnati and Clemson. They average 77 points a game but were held to 70 points or less in 4 of their last 7 games. The Bulldogs could be in for a let down after their last 2 wins while the Terriers are 21-8 ATS in their last 29 road games against teams with winning home records. Take Wofford |

OAKLAND @ GEORGIA Oakland has dropped 4 of their last 5 games but scored at least 86 point in 4 of the games while covering the spread in both games they were double digit dogs. They average 79 points a game and hit 48% from the floor and over 43% of their 3's. Their 4 top scorers all hit at least 37% of their 3's and 2 hit over 55%. They also knock down 75% of their free throws and over the last 5 games are hitting 46% of their 3's. Georgia is 2-3 in their last 5 games with both wins against teams they were at least a 15 point favorite. In their last 3 losses they were held below 70 points in 2 and scored 74 points in the other. They have just 1 senior of their top 6 scorers with 2 of their top 5 shooting under 43%. They should win this game but the spread is another story. Take Oakland |

XAVIER @ MISSOURI Xavier shook off their loss at Cincinnati and came back to beat Eastern Kentucky 95-77 for their 5th win in their last 6 games. They were on fire as they hit 71% of their shots and had their best offensive game of the year. They average 78 points and grab 37 boards a game shooting 50% from the floor. They have 4 double digit scorers and 2 more players scoring 9 points a game. Over their last 5 games they are averaging 76 points while holding opponents to 64. Missouri has won 2 straight games but were at least a 12 point favorite in both games. They average just 67 points a game but like to slow things down as they hold opponents to 64 points a game. They hit just 43% from the floor while allowing opponents to hit 47% over their last 5 games. Take Xavier |

12-17-18 | Saints v. Panthers +7 | 12-9 | Win | 100 | 11 h 54 m | Show | |
SAINTS @ PANTHERS SAINTS @ PANTHERS New Orleans will be playing their 3rd straight road game and after having their 10 game winning streak broken with a 13-10 loss at Dallas 2 weeks ago, bounced back with a 28-14 win against Tampa last week. Although they won by 2 TD's, they had to score 17 4th quarter points to win the game. They were down 14-3 at the half and 14-11 after 3 quarters. Brees was held under 200 yards passing for the 2nd straight game. He had thrown at least 3 TD passes in 4 straight games but threw just 2 with 2 picks in his last 2 games. Carolina lost their 5th straight game last week and are now fighting for their lives for a playoff spot. Their downfall has been on the road where they are 1-6 as 4 of their last 5 losses were there. The Saints have clinched their division and Carolina is a desperate team playing at home where they are 5-1 and need a win to stay alive. New Orleans can afford to rest starters who may have minor injuries where the Panthers should be playing all out. Take Carolina |

JAZZ @ ROCKETS Utah had a good run winning 4 of 5 games but since has lost 3 of their last 4 while scoring under 100 points in 2 of the losses. They are the 3rd lowest scoring team in the Western Conference averaging 106 points a game and have been held to 100 points or less in 4 of their last 5 losses as well as losing their last 4 road games. Houston has won 3 in a row and are 5-3 in their last 8 games with the 3 losses all on the road. They have won 3 straight at home winning by at least 7 points in each and are 3-0 ATS in their last 3 games. The Jazz are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games while Houston is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games. Take Houston |

EAGLES @ RAMS This looks like a get right game for the Rams and Todd Gurley. Yeah sure ... Nick Foles won the Super Bowl last year, but stepping in on a banged up team with a losing record is an entirely different situation. Foles hasn't been very impressive this year, throwing for 451 yards with a TD and an INT in two starts. The Rams have been good at home, and they are looking to go 7-0 here against the Eagles. The Eagles are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games in December, and they are 1-5 ATS in their last six versus teams with a winning record. Take LAR |

LAKERS @ WIZARDS The Wizards organization made a statement by aquiring Trevor Ariza, showing everyone that they aren't ready to blow this up quite yet. The push for the playoffs might start tonight at home against the Lakers. LA is coming off a win in Charlotte last night, and I don't think a team with a .500 road record should be a favorite versus a Washington team that plays well at home. The Lakers have lost eight of their last 10 versus the Wizards, and they are 1-4 in their last five at Washington. The Lakers are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 versus teams from the Eastern Conference. Take WAS |

12-16-18 | Patriots v. Steelers +3 | 10-17 | Win | 100 | 4 h 55 m | Show | |
PATRIOTS @ STEELERS New England had their chances last week in Miami with Brady throwing for over 350 yards and 3 TD passes but blew 3 Red Zone opportunities coming away with just 6 points in their 34-33 loss to Miami. They have lost 2 of their last 3 road games beating only the Jets while allowing 34 points in each loss. They are ranked 21st overall defensively and 25th as they allow 260 yards passing a game and that isn't good against the 2nd ranked passing game in the league. The Steelers average over 400 yards a game with 319 coming through the air as Big Ben has also thrown 28 TD passes. Defensively they haven't allowed more than 24 points in their last 9 games while 2 of their last 3 losses have been on the road. With Pittsburgh playing at home and fighting to hold on to their slim lead over the Ravens, taking points in this game seems a bargain. Take Pittsburgh |

SAINT LOUIS @ HOUSTON The Bilikens are getting a boat load of points here in Houston, and I like the dog in a game between two of the country's top defenses. The Bilikens have allowed just 62 points per game in their last five, while Houston has allowed less than 60 points per game in their last five. The underdog has covered in two of the last three head to head meetings between these teams. The road team has also been the better bet, covering in four of the last five head to head meetings. I am going to go against the line movement here and take the points. Take SLU |

12-16-18 | Cowboys v. Colts -3 | 0-23 | Win | 100 | 24 h 42 m | Show | |
COWBOYS @ COLTS Dallas turned their season around with a 5 game winning streak although the last 3 were on their home field where they are 6-1. They have made this run mostly with help from the defense which hasn't allowed more than 23 points during their winning streak. Offensively they are ranked 20th overall averaging 350 yards and 21 points a game. QB Prescott passed for over 400 yards last week against the Eagles and it was his 1st game he passed for over 300 yards as he averages just 218 yards a game. The Colts are also playing well winning 6 of their last 7 games and are well balanced as they are ranked 10th overall on offense and defense. They have scored at least 27 points in 6 of their last 8 games while defensively haven't allowed more than 24 points in their last 4 games. The fact they are at home and have Luck who has thrown at least 3 TD passes in 8 of his last 10 games gives them an edge that will make it difficult for the Cowboys to win. Take Indianapolis |

CINCINNATI @ MISS STATE The Bearcats lost their first game of the season to Ohio State, but they have won nine straight since. Cincinnati has won each of their last three versus the Bulldogs, and they look good getting points in tonight's game. The Bearcats are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 non-conference games, and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The most consistent trends here actually point toward an under, but I think with such a low projected total the underdog is also in play plus the 5.5 points. Take CIN. |

CELTICS @ PISTONS Boston has won eight straight, and much like we saw in last year's playoffs, it doesn't seem to matter if they are missing a few key players. Boston has the depth to replace players like Al Horford, and they should be able to keep things rolling here in Detroit. The Pistons have lost six in a row overall, and they have lost six of their last seven vesus the Celtics. The Celtics are 6-0 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Detroit, and the road team is 15-5-1 ATS in the last 21 meetings. The Pistons are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 Saturday games. Take BOS |

DUCKS @ JACKETS The Ducks come into Columbus as winners of seven of their last eight overall. They are 7-7 on the road, and they face a Blue Jackets team that is 8-7 at home. These two teams have a history of playing close games, with three of the last six meetings going to overtime. Anaheim has won four straight on the road and five of their last six versus Eastern Conference teams. Columbus has lost four of it's last five versus teams from the Pacific Division. I like the underdog on the pucklline here. Take ANA. |

GEORGIA SOUTHERN VS EASTERN MICHIGAN Georgia Southern won their last 2 games of the regular season outscoring both opponents by a combined 76-31 score. They are ranked 9th in the country averaging over 260 yards on the ground and over 31 points a game. They won 7 of their last 9 overall winning by at least 17 points in 5 of their last 6 wins including 4 of their last 5 on the road. Their defense has held 6 of their last 9 opponents to 21 points or less and are ranked 43rd overall defensively allowing just over 21 points a game. Eastern Michigan allows 353 yards a game but almost 200 of those yards are on the ground which is 93rd in the country. They scored at least 30 points just once in their last 10 games and are ranked 94th overall offensively averaging 378 total yards and 27 points a game. If they don't slow down the Eagles' running game they will lose the battle of the clock and their offense won't be on the field much and that includes stopping QB Werts who has rushed for over 800 yards and 13 TD's and passed for another 10 TD's without a pick. Take Georgia Southern |

12-15-18 | Texans v. Jets +7 | 29-22 | Push | 0 | 8 h 28 m | Show | |
TEXANS @ JETS The Jets will be a big home dog against the Texans Saturday, and I can't believe people want to back a road favorite here in a winter game in New York. While the Texans had won nine in a row, their winning streak came to an end at home versus the Colts last week. These teams have played three times since 2010, and all three games were decided by seven points or less. The underdog has covered in each of the last four meetings between the two teams, and Houston has only covered in two of the last seven meetings. I expect the Jets to hang around, at the very least keeping things close. Tale NYJ. |

12-15-18 | Villanova +8.5 v. Kansas | 71-74 | Win | 104 | 4 h 5 m | Show | |
VILLANOVA @ KANSAS The Kansas Jayhawks are the #1 ranked team in the country, but they've had some close calls in recent games. While they had one big win over Wofford, three of their last four games have been close. They needed overtime to beat Stanford and Tennessee, and they beat New Mexico State by just three points. Villanova doesn't look quite as strong as it has in recent years, but the Wildcats have won four of their last five versus Kansas outright. Given a significan point spread to work with, there's no reason why Villanova can't keep this game close enough to get a cover. The Wildcats are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Kansas. Take VILL. |

12-13-18 | Stars +1.5 v. Sharks | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 60 m | Show | |
STARS @ SHARKS The Dallas Stars have won six of their last seven meetings versus San Jose, yet the bookmakers have pegged the Sharks as a 2-1 favorite for tonight's game. San Jose is just two points ahead of the Stars in the West Standings. Dallas is better on special teams, and has better goaltending. The Sharks are 1-6 in their last seven versus teams with a winning record. Dallas has won 10 of it's last 13 against Pacific Division opponents. I think Dallas plus a goal and a half looks like quite a dandy bargain tonight. Take DAL. |

CHARGERS @ CHIEFS The Chiefs beat the Chargers 38-28 in Week 1, but one could argue that LA has been the better team since. Kansas City has home field advantage here tonight, but they will be without Sammy Watkins, Kareem Hunt, and possibly Spencer Ware and Tyreek Hill. If you closely consider how much production that takes out of their offense, I can't see how you would justify laying points with the Chiefs. Watching this team struggle against Baltimore last week, the writing is on the wall. Tough times are on the way for this high flying Chiefs offense, and they could be on the wrong side of an upset tonight. Take LAC. |

LAKERS @ ROCKETS Houston.... We have a problem! The Rockets have failed to live up to expectations after pushing the Warriors to the brink in the West Finals last year. They have lost seven of their last 10 games overall, and still they are a big favorite at home tonight against a Lakers team trending in the opposite direction. The Lakers come in as winners of six of their last seven overall, and they have actually been pretty competitive on the road (6-6). Kyle Kuzma has really stepped up for LA during their red hot run, scoring 22 points per game in his last seven starts. I'll take the points with the visitors for the first half Take LAL |

LIONS @ CARDINALS Detroit has lost 5 of their last 6 games and 3 of their last 4 on the road. Their last 2 wins were against Miami and 3 weeks ago against a reeling Carolina team 20-19 at home. Their offense has scored 22 points or less in their last 6 games and they are ranked 25th overall averaging just 21 points a game. Stafford has thrown for less than 300 yards in his last 5 games with just 4 TD passes along with 5 picks and is questionable with a bad back. Arizona has won 3 games but 2 of them were in the last 5 as they beat Green Bay last week at home 20-17. They have held 4 of their last 5 opponents to 26 points or less in 4 of their last 5 games.

They are ranked 5th in the league with 298 yards a game passing while averaging 25 points a game. Against the Cowboys in 1 of the losses they allowed Dallas to score 10 points in the final 2 minutes before losing 22-19. The Packers have a 3 game losing streak of their own and last week lost to the worst offense in the league as they were beaten 20-17 by Arizona. It was their 4th loss in the last 5 games and they were held to 17 points for the 3rd game in their last 4 losses. They have been outrushed in 6 of their last 7 games and outgained in total yards in 4 of their last 6. They just changed head coaches after last week's debacle and word is that Rodgers is causing some problems which has resulted in poor offensive performances. Take Atlanta |

SAINTS @ BUCS The Saints had their 10 game winning streak snapped when they lost to Dallas 13-10 last week. Although they give up an average of 23 points a game they are ranked 30th against the pass allowing 279 yards a game along with 22 TD passes. Brees isn't having 1 of his better seasons as he has been inconsistent and has passed for less than 200 yards in ghis last 2 games and over 300 yards in only 5 of the 12 games the Saints have played. Of their 2 losses, 1 was to the Bucs in week 1 48-40. The Tampa offense is ranked 1st averaging 442 yards a game led by their passing also ranked first averaging 344 yards a game. They won their 2nd straight game foe only the 2nd time since they won their first 2 games of the year and Winston was the QB in both wins as he completed over 66% of his passes and threw 4 TD's without a pick in the 2 games. Since his return he has thrown 6 TD's and just 1 pick. Their defense which has caused them problems has played much better allowing 17 points or less in 3 of their last 4 game. When they played the Saints in New Orleans they were a 10 point dog so I'll take the same spread with them at home. Take Tampa Bay |

12-09-18 | Panthers v. Browns +1 | 20-26 | Win | 100 | 17 h 47 m | Show | |
PANTHERS @ BROWNS Carolina has lost 4 straight games and have really put their playoff hopes in jeopardy. In their 24-17 loss to the Bucs last week the defense allowed almost 450 total yards to the Bucs and they never had the lead as they were down by 10 points most of the game. Newton threw for 300 yards which everyone does against the Buc defense but also threw 4 picks. They haven't scored more than 21 points in their last 5 road games and lost 4 of them. Their defense has allowed at least 28 points in 4 of their last 5 games and allow over 25 points and over 250 passing yards a game. The Browns had won their 2nd straight game for the 1st time this season before losing last week when Mayfield happened to have his worst game as he threw 3 picks. In his 5 previous games he threw 13 TD's and just 2 picks but last week he did complete 67% of his passes and Cleveland does have a balanced offense that passes for 239 yards and rushes for over 120 yards a game as Mayfield has completed over 60% of his passes in his last 6 games. Carolina averages over 30 points a game at home and less than 20 on the road so this will be a tough place for them to get a win. Take Cleveland |

ARMY VS NAVY Army has a 9-2 record and has won 7 straight games while scoring at least 28 points in 6 of them and won by double digits in 5. Amazingly they average 384 yards and over 30 points a game and over 300 of those yards come from their running game which is 2nd best in the country. Sitting in 3rd is Navy with 288 rushing yards a game but they are just 3-9 because of a defense that has allowed at least 29 points in 7 of their last 8 losses and is ranked 90th allowing over 430 yards and 35 points a game. That is the biggest difference between these 2 teams as Army is ranked 12th defensively allowing 300 yards and less than 20 points a game. Army's defense should be able to control the game and keep Navy's offense on the sidelines while their offense will be able to put points on the board. Take Army |

They average 75 points a game but have averaged 78 in their road games while the defense allows less than 68 points a game. This is a huge rivalry game between Philadelphia teams and the last 2 seasons even though Villanova had a better team than this season, they were a 14 point favorite playing Temple at home. They are double digit favorites for this game after losing their best players from the last 2 seasons to the NBA. They have won 4 straight after losing 2 in a row which ironically were on their home court. They average 76 points a game and though they have played better,they were outrebounded in 4 of their last 6 games. They are just 4-4 ATS in their games while Temple is 2-0 in the games they have been the dog. Take Temple |

12-04-18 | Wofford +16.5 v. Kansas | 47-72 | Loss | -102 | 11 h 41 m | Show | |
WOFFORD @ KANSAS Wofford will be playing it's 4th game against a Power 5 school and the 2nd game against a team ranked in the Top 10. They hung tough against Oklahoma and North Carolina before losing for their 2 losses and beat South Carolina by an 81-61 score.

12-04-18 | Indiana v. Penn State -2.5 | 64-62 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
INDIANA @ PENN STATE Indiana has a 6-2 record with all 6 wins on their home court and both losses on the road. They have been held below 70 points in their last 2 games after topping 70 in their first 6 while going 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games. They average 80 points a game but on the road have averaged just 70 while their defense allows over 80 on the road. They play at Penn St where the home team is 3-0 averaging 75 points a game while holding opponents to 65. They lost by 5 points total in their last 2 losses while their last win was at home over #13 Virginia Tech. Last season they won 7 of their first 8 home games with the loss by just 1 point. This is a very tough spot for the visitors. Take Penn State |

12-03-18 | Redskins +6 v. Eagles | 13-28 | Loss | -105 | 23 h 48 m | Show | |
REDSKINS @ EAGLES Washington will be looking for it's 3rd road win out of their last 4 road games when they visit Philadelphia. McCoy took over at QB when Smith was lost for the year in their loss to Hoston 2 weeks ago. Last week he passed for over 250 yards and completed 63% of his passes with 2 TD's but had 3 picks. Washington has a pretty decent defense that is ranked 8th overall and allow less than 21 points a game. They are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 meetings with the Eagles. Philadelphia broke a 2 game losing streak when they beat the Giants 25-22 in their last game. They almost lost that game as they were down 19-3 and needed 11 4th quarter points to win the game. Their defense isn't nearly as effective as last season with their secondary getting torched for over 276 yards a game which is 4th worst in the league while offensively they are also having problems. They are ranked 26th overall and score less than 21 points a game. They beat the Giants twice and Jacksonville to account for their last 3 wins and are just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games overall. Take Washington |

12-03-18 | Rutgers v. Wisconsin -12.5 | 64-69 | Loss | -111 | 22 h 10 m | Show | |
RUTGERS @ WISCONSIN Rutgers last game was a double digit loss at home and the 5th straight game of being held below 70 points scoring. They average 70 points a game but hit only 42% from the floor and a very bad 58% of their foul shots. Last season they lost all 8 of their conference road games and were held to 60 points or less in 7 of the losses. Wisconsin is 7-1 with their 1 loss to Virginia as they average 74 points and hit 48% from the floor and 42% of their 3's. Defensively they are very good and allow just 61 points a game and in their last 5 games have held opponents below 60. They don't make many mistakes as they average just 9 TO's a game. This wil be a very difficult game for Rutgers who struggle offensively and are facing an excellent defense. Take Wisconsin |

12-03-18 | Iowa v. Michigan State -9.5 | 68-90 | Win | 100 | 20 h 23 m | Show | |
IOWA @ MICHIGAN STATE Iowa is 6-1 and will be playing their 1st true road game when they play the Spartans. They have 4 of their wins on their home court while 3 wins were against inferior opponents where they were at least 20 point favorites. They were beaten at home 72-66 by Wisconsin in their last game as they were held to 39% from the floor and hit only 25% of their 3's. They haven't been a good road team losing 7 of their 8 conference road games last season while being held below 70 points in 4 of them and losing 5 of them by double digits. The Spartans are 6-2 with losses to Kansas and at Louisville while all 6 wins were by double digits. They average 87 points and 44 boards a game and have 3 double digit scorers averaging at least 14.6 points a game while their top 2 scorers are also hitting at least 43% of their 3's. This is a good Spartan team facing a bad Iowa road team. Take Michigan State |

12-02-18 | Minnesota +7 v. Ohio State | 59-79 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 39 m | Show | |
MINNESOTA @ OHIO STATE Minnesota is 6-1 and average 77 points and 39 boards a game. They already have wins over Texas A&M, Washington and a huge 83-76 win over Oklahoma St in their last game. They are led by Murphy who is one of the best players in the country as he averages 16 points and 13 rebounds a game hitting over 53% of his shots. The Buckeyes lost their 1st game 72-62 to Syracuse in their last game which was the 4th time being held under 70 points. They have 2 double digit scorers and lost their 3rd leading scorer who was injured in the last game. This will be their toughest game so far and the 1st Big 10 Conference game for both teams. This should be back and forth with the winning team taking the last shot. Take Minnesota |

12-02-18 | Cardinals +14.5 v. Packers | 20-17 | Win | 100 | 23 h 46 m | Show | |
CARDS @ PACKERS Arizona has pretty much been beat up all season and have lost their share of games but of their last 7 losses 3 were by 3 points or less and 3 were by more than 10 points. Josh Rosen has taken over and improved his game. In his first 5 games he threw just 3 TD's but has thrown 7 over his last 4. As bad as their record they still have a defense that can slow twams down. They lost by 2 to the Bears and by 10 in Minnesota and they held KC to 26 points. Green Bay has lost 5 of their last 7 games with wins against Miami and a 3 point win over SF. The Cards have been this big a dog to 2 teams and both are powerhouse offenses. I don;t see how the line is so big for a bad Packer team. Take Arizona |

12-02-18 | Browns +6 v. Texans | 13-29 | Loss | -115 | 23 h 36 m | Show | |
BROWNS @ TEXANS Cleveland had a big 35-20 win last week in Cincinnati for their 2nd straight. Their kast 4 losses have been against teams in the top 6 of the league offensively. Mayfield has been solid and has played beyond expectations for a rookie. He threw 4 TD's without a pick last week and in his last 5 games has 13TD's and just 2 picks. Houston has won 8 straight games but 3 wins were by 3 points or less and in 5 scored 23 points or less and only 2 wins were against teams with a .500 record. This is a perfect time for a let down and they haven;t been this big a favorite since they played Miami and Buffalo. Take Cleveland |

12-02-18 | Bills v. Dolphins -3.5 | 17-21 | Win | 100 | 4 h 12 m | Show | |
BILLS @ DOLPHINS Buffalo won their 2nd straight game last week with the 2nd worst offense in the league. Their 2 wins were against the Jets and Jacksonville who are both 3-8. They have the 2nd worst passing offense and score just over 14 points a game, They haven't scored more than 13 points in their last 5 losses. Miami has had their share of problems but played a tough game last week at Indy before losing 27-24 and 5 of their last 6 losses have been on the road while 3 of their last 4 wins were at home. This is a team they can take advantage of on their home turf. Take Miami |

12-01-18 | Northwestern v. Ohio State -15 | 24-45 | Win | 100 | 9 h 6 m | Show | |
NORTHWESTERN VS OHIO STATE The expression the wrong place at the wong time couldn't be more applicable than in this game. The Widcats have won their last 3 games and 7 of 8 overall. Those wins are questionable and not that impressivre to say the least. Their last 2 were against Illinois and Minnesota who are the bottom of the barrel along wit Rutgers who is 0-9 in conference play. Their best wins were against Wisconsin at home without their starting QB and Michigan St who have been exposed as puncless on offense. Now they play a Buckeye team that might be at their peak after destroying Michigan last week and a chance to go to the FBS Championship. Haskins has 42 TD passes and is the only QB averaging 300 yards a game. The Wildcat offense which is ranked 109th will struggle most of the day hoping for a big play while their defense which isn;t bad won't be able to stop the Buckeyes all game. Look for Ohio state to wear down the Nortwestern defense by the 2nd half. Take Ohio State |

12-01-18 | Raptors -13.5 v. Cavs | 106-95 | Loss | -116 | 3 h 30 m | Show | |
RAPTORS @ CAVALIERS Toronto has won 7 straight games including their last 4 on the road. Their offense has scored at least 122 points in 6 of the 7 wins while the defense held 4 opponents to 107 points or less with 2 of them below 100. They are 19-4 and have a 9-2 road record while averaging over 117 points a game and having a +8.7 point differntial which is 2nd in the league. Cleveland has lost 6 of their last 7 games and the last 2 losses were by 40 points combined. They are 0-3ATS in their last 3 games and besides Kevin Love have some other injuries to deal with. They are 5-16 ATS in their last 2 Saturday games and I don't see that changing today. Take Toronto |

12-01-18 | Georgia +12 v. Alabama | 28-35 | Win | 100 | 5 h 40 m | Show | |
GEORGIA VS ALABAMA These 2 teams meet for the1st time since the Championsip game when the Tide rallied from a 13-0 halftome score to win an exciting 26-23 OT game. Texas A&M got the closest to Alabama as they lost by 22 points. I think we can agree that the have played the best football over the whole season but an arguement can be made that only Georgia has gotten better. It was just 2 weeks ago that Alabama scored just 10 points in the 1st half against Citadel and were held to 305 tards against Mississippi St. Georgia on the other hand has seen ther offense inprove as their running game has rushed for at leastv285 yards in their last 4 games while the defense allows just 17 points a game. They put up over 400 yards in big wins against Kentucky and Florrida who both have outstanding defenses. This cpuld be their day in the sun as no game is more important. Take Georgia |

12-01-18 | Texas v. Oklahoma -9 | 27-39 | Win | 100 | 2 h 26 m | Show | |
TEXAS VS OKLAHOMA Texas won their 1st meeting after blowing a 21 point lead and winning with a field goal at the last ninute. That won;t happen again today, The best offense in college football will be sure to get it;s points as the average 584 yards and over 50 points a game which are both the best in the country. They allowed Texas to grow a lead to 45-24 after 3 quarters. Over the last 2 weeks the Longhorns have managed to score just 24 points in each of those games including Kansas who has one of the worst deneses in the country and were held to 7 1st half points. Granted in their previous game they beat a tough defensive Iowa St team but their offense is terrible ranked 118th in the nation. The Sooners have scored at least 50 points in 6 of their last 8 games while the last 2 losses by Texas were at the hands of the Cowboys and West Virginia 2 offensive powerhouses. With revenge in mind I only see this one way! Take Oklahoma |

11-30-18 | Northern Illinois v. Buffalo -3.5 | 30-29 | Loss | -105 | 81 h 9 m | Show | |
HUSKIES @ BULLS The Buffalo Bulls only lost one game in the MAC this year, on the road at Ohio. At 7-1 they had the best record in the conference, and they host the 6-2 Northern Illinois Huskies. The most concerning thing for the Huskies is that their two losses have come in their last two games. After scoring just seven points in a home loss to Miami-Ohio, they went on the road and lost 28-21 at Western Michigan. Starting quarterback Marcus Childers has nine INTs this season, but his three picks and just one TD in his last two starts is quite concerning. The Bulls are 8-1 ATS in their last nine conference games and 19-7 ATS in their last 26 overall. Take BUF. |

11-29-18 | Sabres +1.5 v. Lightning | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 58 m | Show | |
BUFFALO @ TAMPA Hockey fans know that Tampa Bay is a far better team than the Buffalo Sabres. While Tampa is a Stanley Cup contender every year, the Sabres have been one of the league's bottom feeders. Things change fast in the NHL, as Buffalo comes into Tampa riding a 10 game winning streak. The Sabres have the best record in the NHL, just narrowly beating Tampa by a single point. The Lightning are just 5-4 in their last nine overall, and 3-6 as a puckline favorite in those games. I'll take a stab at Buffalo on the puckline, in a game between two teams sitting at the top of the standings. Take BUF. |

They average 77 points a game hittIng over45% from the floor and 33% of their 3's.. Their last 2 win were over a good Murray St and a good Wichita St team and they have held 3 opponents to 62 points or less. UCF has used defense to win their last 4 games as they held all 4 below 62 points. They average 75 points a game and hit 48% from the floor but this should be a tough dfensive battle from start to finish so I will take the points. Take Alabama |

They average just 73 points a game as they hit just 42% from the floor. They don't have much experience in their starting rotation starting 2 freshman and a sophomore.

NEBRASKA @ CLEMSON Nebraska bounced back after their beating at the hands of Texas Tech with a win over Western Illinois. Texas Tech held them to 35% from the floor and 21% of their 3's as they played good defense as well as out rebounding them. Nebraska hasn't won on the road against a ranked team since 2016. Clemson lost their 1st game to Creighton as their usually strong defense lapsed letting Creighton hit over 50% of their shots. They have 4 double digit scorers as they average 77 points and 36 boards a game. They hit over 49% from the floor and 35% of their 3's. They have plenty of size and 5 seniors rotating in the lineup.

They have size and experience as 3 seniors are rotating in their lineup. The Gamecocks are 3-2 with 1 loss at home to Stonybrook as a 15 point favorite. They have had injuries and their big man Silva has been playing poorly and been in foul trouble early. They hit just 66% of their free throws and are 1-4 ATS in their 5 games played.

Their defense is ranked 27th in points allowed at over 26 a game and they allowed at least 27 in 7 of their last 9 games. The Bucs have lost 4 straight but not because of the offense which scored at least 27 points in 5 of their last 7 losses. The offense is 3rd best averaging over 450 yards and 27 points a game. They get Winston back at QB today so look for their offense to take advantage of a weak SF defense. Take Tampa Bay |

OKLAHOMA STATE @ TCU TCU has lost 4 of their last 6 games and scored no more than 17 points in 6 of their last 8 games including 3 of their last 4 at home. Their offense which is ranked 100th in the nation overall lost it's starting QB Robinson and now his replacement Collins won't be playing either. That leaves it up to 3rd stringer Muehlstein, who has just 18 snaps in his whole career. That leaves a steady defense that is ranked 30th to keep the game within reach although they have been inconsistent lately. They allowed at least 40 points to the better offense they played which the Cowboys most certainly are. They are ranked 10th overall averaging over 500 yards and 40 points a game while being well balanced as they pass for just over 300 yards and run for 200 yards a game. They also have an inconsistent defense as they are 3-4 in their last 7 games allowing at least 30 points in all 4 losses. They are 3-1 ATS in their last 4 games while TCU is 1-7 ATS in their last 8. Take Oklahoma State |

TENNESSEE VS KANSAS Tennessee has a 4-0 record with their last being a 92-81 win over an excellent Louisville team who had previously been undefeated. The Volunteers had 5 players score in double digits as they hit over 54% from the floor and over 36% of their 3's. They average 83 points and 43 boards a game with 5 players averaging at lest 11.3 points a game. They dish out 21 assists and commit only 11 TO's a game with all this being the result of their top 6 scorers returning from last season. The fact they allow an average of just 60 points a game, makes them 1 of the best balanced teams in the country. Kansas is also 4-0 but needed a 22-0 run at the start of the 2nd half to beat Marquette as they were down by 9 at the half in their last game. They have 3 of their top 6 scorers from last season as they average 81 points and 36 boards a game but don't have the experience the Volunteers have. with just 1 senior and 2 freshmen in their top 5 scorers. These are 2 of the best teams in the country but I'll take the points with the better shooting and more physical Volunteers. Take Tennessee |

OKLAHOMA @ WEST VIRGINIA The Sooners have won their last 5 games scoring at least 48 points in each game but their defense has allowed at least 40 points in each of their last 3 games while going 0-3 ATS. Their problem is they are on the road in West Virginia who is also a monster on offense as they average over 500 yards and 41 points a game. They have won 7 of their last 9 games and are 5-0 at home and have a better defense that has allowed 22 points or less in 6 of their last 10 games with 5 of the games being at home. With the Sooners top RB questionable for the game and the home team as the dog the choice is clear. These are the 2 top teams in the Big 12 but the 31st ranked defense of West Virginia who allow just over 23 points a game should make a big difference in the outcome. Take West Virginia |
