12-26-21 | Ravens v. Bengals -7 | 21-41 | Win | 100 | 5 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bengals. I like the Cincinnati Bengals to cover the spread against the Baltimore Ravens in this game on Sunday. This is a very important game to both of these teams because of the playoff implications of this game. These 2 teams are tied for 1st place in their division with the same record so not only will the winner of this game have an advantage with 2 games left to go after, but it could also mean a lot to the whoever wins if these teams end up finishing with the same overall record. The Bengals already beat the Ravens earlier this year so if they win again then they will for sure have the tiebreaker over the Ravens on the chance that there is a tie for 1st at the end. They didn't just beat the Ravens that 1st time though, they destroyed the Ravens on their own home field 41-17 and that was with Lamar Jackson playing. Now Jackson is out for this game with an injury and his team will be on the road in this game. The Bengals haven't looked great in their games lately but their team is pretty healthy for this game and that should play a big part in their win here. Their offense still has their star QB, RB, and WR out there so their ceiling is a lot higher with that potential to have a big game at any moment compared to the Ravens who will be missing their leader and most dynamic player out on the field. The Ravens have lost 3 games in a row but they haven't looked terrible with all of those losses within 2 points. They have lost a few of those games on last minute tying TDs that they have scored but then failed the 2-pt conversion to win the game. The decision making by Harbaugh in these situations have been terrible though and it is going to come back to bite them and if he keeps being this reckless. The Bengals are at home with a much healthier team and they know they can take advantage of the Ravens here and put themselves in a great position to win the division. I think this is a game that all of the Bengals players will get up for. I like the Bengals to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-17 Bengals. |

12-26-21 | Lions +7 v. Falcons | Top | 16-20 | Win | 100 | 6 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Detroit Lions. I like the Detroit Lions to cover the spread against the Atlanta Falcons in this game on Sunday. The Lions have been having a very rough season this year being the only winless team through 10 games but now they have 2 wins under their belt and they have looked a lot better in their games lately than at the beginning of the year. The Lions have started to pick up some steam lately with their 2 wins on the year coming in their previous 3 games. Their most recent game was a big win against the Cardinals 30-12 and they looked really good in that game. I think that the Lions can continue that play into this game and they have been bringing the same heart and passion into every game this year already so this team has the fire inside them to win a bunch of games and end their year on a good note. The Falcons are not a good team and they haven't been having a great year either. The Falcons have actually lost 2 of their previous 3 games including their most recent game where they were slaughtered by the 49ers 31-13. The Falcons have lost a few players throughout the year and they know that their playoff hopes have been shot already. The Falcons are just trying to limp to the finish line in these last 3 games but the Lions are the complete opposite. After that terrible start, the Lions are finally looking like a competitive team and I think that their players and their coaches want to win out their year so they have some good building blocks to build on come next year. The Lions have been heating up lately and they have the momentum on their side here. I like the Lions to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 23-14 Lions. |

12-25-21 | Browns v. Packers -7 | Top | 22-24 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 4 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Green Bay Packers. I like the Green Bay Packers to cover the spread against the Cleveland Browns in this game on Saturday. The Packers have looked great all year and they have been gaining steam in their games lately. They just keep winning games and they now possess the number 1 seed in the NFC with the best record. Their offense has looked great and has been putting up 30+ points in 4 games in a row. Their previous game was a win by 1 point over the Ravens but they had won 2 games in a row before that one by 10+ points. The Browns have been dealing with some covid issues lately and they barely had a team to put out against the Raiders last week. They should be getting some starters back here including their QB but Mayfield has been dealing with some other injuries too and he is not even 100% for this game. Their offense has looked really bad lately even with Mayfield playing in the game, they have only scored 20+ points in 1 of their previous 5 games. I think that the Packers have been playing much better lately and Aaron Rodgers is having another great year and is in the conversation for MVP. Rodgers is playing great and I think he will be able to lead his offense well here and pull away against the Browns who have been struggling to win games for weeks now. I think it is going to be tough for the Browns to stop Rodgers here so I like the Packers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 35-20 Packers. |
|||||||
12-23-21 | 49ers v. Titans +3 | 17-20 | Win | 101 | 11 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tennessee Titans. I like the Tennessee Titans to cover the spread against the San Francisco 49ers in this game on Thursday. The Titans looked a lot better in their previous 2 games with a shut out win over the Jaguars and then a great 1st half performance in their most recent game against the Steelers but they completely collapsed in the 2nd half of that game and ended up losing it. The Titans should be getting much healthier for this game though and I think that is going to play a big part here. Both Julio Jones and AJ Brown are expected to play in this game so that will give a much needed boost to their offense as Tannehill with have some very talented players to throw the ball to. I think that having both of them back is going to be a big factor in this game and make it much tougher for the 49ers defense to stop them. The 49ers have also started to pick up some steam in their games lately but I think that the defense of the Titans will be able to lay the hammer down on this 49ers offense and come up with some big stops. Neither of these teams really have a good running game at the moment so I expect there to be a lot of passing in this game. I think this is going to come down to the defense here and I think the Titans are playing much better at the moment and will be able to slow down the 49ers offense. I like the Titans to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 26-23 Titans. |

12-23-21 | Central Florida +6.5 v. Florida | 29-17 | Win | 100 | 150 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Central Florida. I like Central Florida to cover the spread against Florida in this game on Thursday. UCF looked really good near the end of their year winning 5 of their final 6 games. Gus Malzahn did a good job getting them moving in the right direction this year and for the 1st time in a while, UCF actually has a pretty good defense that isn't getting gashed for points all the time. They have given up less than 20 points in 5 of their previous 6 games and their offense has still looked good during that time too. They have scored 28+ in more than half of their previous 5 games and that has been a common theme for them all year. Florida barely made it into this game with a 6-6 record this year and they had to win their final game of the year just to become eligible for a bowl game, and they won that game just by 3 points at home over their rival Florida State. Their coach Dan Mullen has already left the school for another next year and they will just be trying to get by this game and get to next year when Billy Napier takes over the program. I don't think that the Florida players really have any motivation to play hard in this game after a season that was a lot lower than the bar they had set for themselves this year. I think the UCF players will be motivated to try to get a win here and cap off the 1st year of progress that new coach Malzahn has put together in this program. Emory Jones has also entered the transfer portal along with a few other players so Florida will not even be playing this game with all of their top players. I like UCF to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 34-27 Central Florida. |

12-21-21 | Seahawks +6.5 v. Rams | 10-20 | Loss | -110 | 80 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Seahawks. I like the Seattle Seahawks to cover the spread against the LA Rams in this game on Tuesday. The Seahawks have looked a lot better in their games lately and they have won 2 games in a row now. Russell Wilson has looked a lot better in their games too ever since suffering that finger injury. They have put 30+ points in their 2 most recent games and their defense has even looked a lot better in those games, they haven't given up 20+ points in 2 of their previous 3 games. The Seahawks have been having a rough year with a losing record and they really don't have a great chance at making the playoffs but they do have a good chance to put a damper on the Rams' hopes of winning the division with a win in this game. A Rams loss pretty much clinches the division for the Cardinals and I don't think the Seahawks are going to just roll over here knowing they still have an impact on the season here. The Rams have also looked a lot better in their games lately winning 2 in a row but 1 of those wins was against the Jaguars which is not impressive at all and the other was against the Cardinals in their most recent game and that was a game that they really played hard in so I'm expecting them to have a let down spot here after playing that tough game on Monday night. Russell Wilson seems to be almost fully back to his old self and as long as he is in the game he gives the Seahawks a chance to win any game as he is a great playmaker. I think he can keep his team hanging around in this game. I like the Seahawks to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Rams. |

12-21-21 | Wyoming -3 v. Kent State | 52-38 | Win | 100 | 98 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Wyoming. I like Wyoming to cover the spread against Kent State in this game on Tuesday. Wyoming has not looked good in their games lately near the end of the year but this team is happy to be in a bowl game at all after the way their year started to go sideways on them and I think that they are going to get up for this game and try to bring home the win. Wyoming has been very up and down this year but they have shown some flashes on offense putting up 30+ points in a lot of their games, but then they have also not looked good in some games and have stayed under 20 points in those games. I think this is 1 of those games that they can score 30+ points in because Kent State has a terrible defense and they gave up 40+ points in their conference championship game, their most important game all year and their defense still looked terrible. I don't think the Kent State players are going to get up for this game since this is not the bowl game they wanted to play in. They had their sights set on getting their revenge over Northern Illinois in the title game and winning the MAC title but they didn't get to do any of that as they lost to Northern Illinois for the 2nd time this year losing 41-23 in the title game. Kent State has given up 40+ points in 4 of their previous 5 games and that has been a common theme for them all year in their games. Their defense is really bad and I think Wyoming is going to be able to score on them with ease. I am also expecting Kent State to come out and play this game with no heart so I see Wyoming pulling away in a lopsided game here. I like Wyoming to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-13 Wyoming. |
|||||||
12-20-21 | Vikings v. Bears +6.5 | 17-9 | Loss | -110 | 57 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Bears. I like the Chicago Bears to cover the spread against the Minnesota Vikings in this game on Monday night. The Bears have lost 2 games in a row but their offense has taken a big step with Justin Fields at QB in those games. They have been moving the ball well putting up 22 and then 30 points and I think that he is going to continue to improve here and play another good game. They will be at home here and I think that environment is going to help Fields feel more comfortable and play better while also hurting the Vikings since they are just 2-5 on the road this year. The Vikings haven't really been blowing teams out this year either and they are the team in the NFL who has had the most 1 score games and the most games decided in the last minute of play or on the last drive of the game. They won their most recent game on Prime Time by 8 points over the Steelers but they had a 29-0 lead in that game and managed to blow it since the Steelers had a chance to tie the game with no time left on the clock but the ball was dropped in the end zone or that would just be another close game for them that they could have lost. Kirk Cousins has also been terribly bad in his career on Monday nights and he is just 1-9 in Monday games for his career. I think the Vikings are going to once again play down to their competition here and I like the progress that I have seen in the past weeks from Fields and the Bears offense. This could be a sneaky upset game so I like the Bears to keep this close and cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 23-20 Bears. |
|||||||
12-20-21 | Raiders v. Browns -2 | 16-14 | Loss | -110 | 54 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Browns. I like the Cleveland Browns to cover the spread against the Las Vegas Raiders in this game on Monday. Both of these teams have covid running through them lately and a lot of star players from both sides are going to miss this game. The Browns will have QB Nick Mullens starting here but he has had some success with the 49ers as a backup in recent years so I think that he will not be terrible in this game and keep them in it with a chance to win it. They will still have Nick Chubb playing and I think that they are going to lean heavily on him to carry the load in this game. The Raiders are not healthy either, Carr is playing in this game but he will be missing 1 of their best weapons in Darren Waller and their running game is not that strong to lean on either. They also have a lot of key defensive players on their covid list and their defense has already looked bad in quite a few games this year with those players playing. I think this is going to be a more boring game since a lot of the star players are out and I think the Browns are going to play well with Mullens at QB and I think their running game is going to win this game for them at home here. With this game being rescheduled to Tuesday there is a chance that some of the starters are back for both teams but either way I think the browns are better and getting their starters back will only strengthen my decision to back them here. I like the Browns to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 20-17 Browns. |
|||||||
12-19-21 | Cardinals -12.5 v. Lions | 12-30 | Loss | -105 | 26 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arizona Cardinals. I like the Arizona Cardinals to cover the spread against the Detroit Lions in this game on Sunday. The Cardinals just lost in their most recent game on MNF against the Rams, a division rival. They had a chance to clinch their division in that game but they failed as Kyler Murray did not have the best start to that game. I think that the Cardinals are too good to lose 2 games in a row here, especially with that 2nd game being against the 1 win Lions, and I think that they are going to be looking to get back into the win column here and keep moving toward a playoff spot. The Cardinals have 10 wins this year and only 2 of those wins were by less than 10 points. They don't just win their games but they destroy teams in the process and I think they are going to do the same to the Lions here. The Lions have been having a really bad year with just 1 win. They won their 1st game of the season just a few weeks ago but then they lost their very next game by 28 points in Denver. The Lions don't lose all of their games like this and they have played in some really close games that they have lost this year but I think this is going to be another 1 of those games that they get destroyed in. The Cardinals have not just looked good on offense this year but they have looked really good on defense too. I don't think the Lions will be able to move the ball well with the limited options they have over there. The Cardinals have also shown their depth this year with a few wins under backup QB Colt McCoy. I think the Cardinals are too good a team to have this stay a close game. I like the Cardinals to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 35-14 Cardinals. |
|||||||
12-19-21 | Cowboys -10.5 v. Giants | Top | 21-6 | Win | 100 | 26 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Cowboys. I like the Dallas Cowboys to cover the spread against the New York Giants in this game on Sunday. The Cowboys have been dealing with their own covid situation lately but they have still been winning games with a weaker team and now they have been getting healthier each week and should have most of their weapons on the offensive side back in this game. They have won their previous 2 games by 7+ points but they were blowing teams out weeks ago when they were playing very well and I expect that to start getting back to that as they start their playoff run while getting a lot of starters back. The Giants have looked terrible on offense in their games lately. They have scored 20+ points in just 1 of their previous 3 games but they haven't really done anything great since firing their OC Jason Garrett a few weeks ago. Obviously that was not the issue with this offense and I think they are going to continue to struggle in this game with Mike Glennon as their QB. Glennon has a losing record as a starter in the NFL. I think this is a get right spot for the Cowboys here, they can pretty much wrap up their division with a win here and I expect them to dominate the Giants for 60 minutes here. I like the Cowboys to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 35-13 Cowboys. |
|||||||
12-18-21 | Oregon State v. Utah State +7.5 | Top | 13-24 | Win | 100 | 30 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Utah State. I like Utah State to cover the spread against Oregon State in this game on Saturday. Utah State is getting around 7 points in this game and they finished the year off with a much better record than Oregon State did at 10-3 and they are a conference champion after beating San Diego State in the MWC title game. Other than 1 slip up against Wyoming, Utah State looked really good in their final games of the year and they were winning their games by large margins. They won the conference championship game alone by 30+ points, putting up 46 points on the San Diego State defense that was really good all year long. They have won 5 of their previous 6 games and all 5 of those wins were by 20+ points. Utah State has been having a great year on both offense and defense. Oregon State has been very up and down this year though. They have won 2 of their previous 3 games but have lost 3 of their previous 5 games and their defense has looked bad in all of those games whether they won or lost. They didn't give up more than 15+ points in their previous 2 wins but they have given up 20+ points in most of their wins this year. They have lost 5 games this year and they have given up 30+ points in all of those games. Oregon State does not have a good defense and I think that is going to be a huge problem here with the way that Utah State has looked on offense. I think Utah State is going to keep scoring in this game and run up the score on Oregon State to the point where they won't be able to come back. I think Utah State is better and has a good chance at winning this game with all of the momentum they have from their conference championship. I like Utah State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 38-24 Utah State. |

12-18-21 | UTEP v. Fresno State -11 | 24-31 | Loss | -112 | 25 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Fresno State. I like Fresno State to cover the spread against UTEP in this game on Saturday. Fresno State had a great year and they finished strong with 5 wins in their final 6 games but if it wasn't for a loss to Boise State, they would've been in the MWC title game. Their defense looked really good in their final games, they did not give up 10+ points in their 2 most recent games and they put up 30+ points in both of those games, winning each by 20+ points. I think Fresno State's defense will be able to shut down the UTEP offense here and Fresno has looked so good on offense lately that I am expecting them to pull away more and more as this game goes on. UTEP had a great start to their year and were 6-1 going into the 2nd half of the year but they really slipped up in their games and started to look really bad on the field. After starting the year 6-1, they finished the year 7-5 meaning that they went 1-4 down the final stretch of the year. They played some tough teams like UAB and UTSA who went on to win the conference title, but they also lost games to Florida Atlantic and North Texas which is not a good look on them. UTEP didn't look good on defense either and they were giving up a lot of points in their final games of the season. They gave up 28+ points in their 2 most recent games, 1 of those teams being Rice and their terrible offense. They have also given up 28+ points in 4 of their previous 5 games and I think that Fresno State is going to have no troubles moving the ball down the field and scoring points here. UTEP does not have a great offense either and I think that they will struggle to score with the way that Fresno State's defense has looked lately. I like Fresno State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 42-17 Fresno State. |

12-12-21 | Lions v. Broncos -10 | 10-38 | Win | 100 | 52 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Denver Broncos. I like the Denver Broncos to cover the spread against the Detroit Lions in this game on Sunday. The Broncos have been a very up and down team this year, they can't seem to beat a lot of the good teams but they can beat up on the really bad ones. They lost to the Eagles and the Chiefs by 10+ points but they also beat the Cowboys and the Chargers by 10+ points all in their previous 4 games. The Broncos have looked good in a lot of their games this year though. They have a great defense and they have a lot of weapons on their offense that could do a lot more damage if they had the right QB. Bridgewater has been getting by though and he is making the plays in their games to help them win. The Lions have looked terrible all year and they just got their 1st win of the year last week only 12 games into the season. They played well for most of that game but lost the lead late and had to fight back on the final drive just to score that winning TD with no time left. I think that game took a lot of energy out of them and I'm expecting a big let down for them after that win. They have to play this game in Denver too where the air is thin and it will be a struggle for a lot of their young and new players that don't have experience playing in Denver. The Broncos lost last week so they are going to hungry to bounce back in this game. I like the Broncos to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 33-13 Broncos. |
|||||||
12-12-21 | Saints v. Jets +5.5 | 30-9 | Loss | -110 | 48 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Jets. I like the New York Jets to cover the spread against the New Orleans Saints in this game on Sunday. The Jets are going to be at home here and they have looked a lot better at home this year than on the road with 2 of their 3 wins this year coming at home. The defense has also looked better lately and has only given up 30+ points in 1 of their previous 3 games. Zach Wilson is back starting for them and he didn't look great in his last 2 starts but he has been improving in each game and I think that he will look a lot better here. The Saints have their own issues that they are dealing with. They have a lot of injuries to their defense and to their QB too. Taysom Hill is starting in this game but he is dealing with a finger injury and, from what we've seen from Russell Wilson and his finger injury this year, this is something that could drastically affect the way he throws the ball and completes passes. I think that they are going to struggle to score points and move the ball with Hill and his finger injury. Alvin Kamara is returning from injury and should play in this game but he is also banged up and if he plays he will likely still be heavily involved in the offense. He is really the only threat on their offense right now with their QB situation so if the Jets stop him then the Saints shouldn't be able to do much here. I think Wilson is going to have a much better game here and I expect Hill to have a bad game. I like the Jets to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 21-17 Jets. |
|||||||
12-06-21 | Patriots v. Bills -2.5 | 14-10 | Loss | -122 | 53 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Buffalo Bills. I like the Buffalo Bills to cover the spread against the New England Patriots in this game on Monday. The Bills went through a bit of a rough patch but they have started to look a lot better in their games lately. They have won 2 of their previous 3 games and have put up 30+ points in those wins. Their defense has also looked great in their games lately. They have not given up 17+ points in 4 of their previous 5 games either. The Patriots have also looked really good in their games but I think that the Bills are going to outplay them in this game. Both of these teams have great defenses but the Bills have a much better offense than the Patriots do. The Patriots put up a lot of points in their games but a lot of that comes by defensive takeaways and short passing plays, they don't really take big shots down the field. The Bills have a much better offense, they can run the ball well and they can pass the ball well. Josh Allen has a lot more experience playing in the league than the rookie Mac Jones does and I think that is going to help the Bills come away with the win here. The Bills have more experienced players and their roster has a lot more talent on it than the Patriots. I still think that the Bills are the best team in the AFC and I think that they are going to show why they are in this game. I like the Bills to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 35-21 Bills. |
|||||||
12-05-21 | Giants v. Dolphins -6 | Top | 9-20 | Win | 100 | 21 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Miami Dolphins. I like the Miami Dolphins to cover the spread against the New York Giants in this game on Sunday. The Dolphins have been surging lately and have looked really good in their games ripping off 4 wins in a row. They aren't just winning close games either, all 4 of those wins have been by 7+ points. They aren't just beating up on bad teams either, they have beaten the Ravens who lead the AFC and the Panthers who have a great defense. They have put up 20+ points in their previous 3 games and they just put up 33 points on that great defense that the Panthers have just last week. Tua is playing great at the moment and I think that he is going to continue to play great in this game too. The Giants have looked better in their games lately but their offense still doesn't look good and their defense has to keep them in their games. Daniel Jones is making bad decisions on the field and the offense won't be able to run efficiently unless he is at his best. They haven't even put up 14+ points in their previous 2 games. I think that the Dolphins are playing a lot better at the moment and their offense actually looks good in their games. The Giants have been winning some games lately but not with good offensive efforts and they are just barely hanging in those games with their defense and scraping by. I think that the Dolphins are much better and they are going to run away with this game against the Giants. I like the Dolphins to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-20 Dolphins. |

12-04-21 | Georgia -6.5 v. Alabama | 24-41 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Georgia. I like Georgia to cover the spread against Alabama in this game. Georgia has been the best team in the country for most of the year and they are by far the best team. Their defense has looked great all year and they have the best defense in the country by a mile. They recorded shutouts in 3 different games this year and they only gave up 83 points all year through 12 games. That is averaging less than 1 TD given up per game all year. It is not just their defense that's good though, their offense has looked really good lately too. They have put up 40+ points in all of their previous 3 games. They also finished as the only undefeated team in the SEC this year. Alabama lost 1 game all year against Texas A&M early in the year and they went on a big run after that but they have looked shaky in a lot of their games despite getting the wins. Their previous 2 games were cutting it really close. They beat Arkansas at home by just a touchdown but they struggled to pull away in that game the entire time. Their most recent game was even worse though, they beat Auburn by 2 points in OT and they were losing by a touchdown in the last 2 minutes of that game before coming back with seconds left. It is clear to me that this is not the same Alabama team from past years that dominates every team they play. I think that Georgia is that team this year, their offense can put up a lot of points on you and their defense will not let you score at all. I think Alabama is going to struggle to put up points on this great defense since they have been struggling against worse teams as of late. I like Georgia to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-14 Georgia. |

12-04-21 | Appalachian State -2.5 v. UL-Lafayette | 16-24 | Loss | -113 | 25 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Appalachian State. I like Appalachian State to cover the spread against Louisiana Lafayette in this game on Saturday. App State has looked very good in their final stretch of the season this year. They have won 6 games in a row and both their offense and defense has looked great in those games. They only scored 27 points in their most recent game but they have put up 30+ points in 5 of their previous 6 games. Their defense has been even better as of late and has given up 7 points or less in 3 games in a row now. Louisiana has also looked good lately but their defense has not looked nearly as good as App State's has, and neither has their offense. They only put up 21 points in their most recent game and they won that game by 5 points giving up 16 to Louisiana Monroe who was 4-8 this year. App State's last loss this year was against Louisiana so this is not only the title game for them but also their chance to get revenge for that bad loss. They were embarrassed in that game losing 41-13 when they came in as a big favorite. I think that they have been waiting for another opportunity to play Louisiana again and now that they are getting that chance I think that they are going to make good use of it. I expect App State to play hard here and I think that they have looked a lot better than Louisiana has in their games lately. I like App State to cover the spread here and get their revenge. T.M. Prediction: 38-28 Appalachian State. |

12-04-21 | Kent State v. Northern Illinois +3.5 | Top | 23-41 | Win | 100 | 21 h 21 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Northern Illinois. I like Northern Illinois to cover the spread against Kent State in this game on Saturday. Northern Illinois looked really good all year and they finished with the best record in the MAC this year. They lost their most recent game to Western Michigan but I think that they were looking ahead to this game and will be ready to play Kent State here. Northern Illinois lost to Kent State at the beginning of November and it was a close game, Northern Illinois losing it by 5 points 52-47. I think that Northern Illinois is going to be looking for their revenge against Kent State here and I expect them to play hard since this is the title game too. Kent State has looked a bit shaky in their games lately. They barely won their previous game against Miami Ohio winning that game by 1 point in OT. They had to win that game to get into this one too so they put a lot of effort into that game and I think that Northern Illinois has been focused on this game for twice the amount of time that Kent State has been. Northern Illinois was dominating conference teams all year and every little thing went their way this year in their games since there were quite a few games that they just barely won by 3 points or less. I think it is Northern Illinois' year and I think that they are good enough to win this game and the title. I like Northern Illinois to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 37-34 Northern Illinois. |

12-03-21 | Western Kentucky v. UTSA +3.5 | 41-49 | Win | 100 | 27 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UTSA. I like UTSA to cover the spread against Western Kentucky in this game on Friday. UTSA has had a great season finishing with the best record in their conference and only had 1 loss all year yet they are still not the favorite in this game. Their loss came in their most recent game against North Texas but I think that was a look ahead spot to this game for them since they had already cliched their spot in this Championship game. I think that they are going to play much better than they did last week and bounce back in this game in a big way. Western Kentucky has won 7 games in a row but they have not had as good a year as UTSA has had. Western Kentucky has had 4 losses this year and their last loss was against UTSA back in early October. They scored 46 points in that game but also gave up 56 to UTSA. I think that UTSA has been waiting all year for this game and have had their eyes on the title for a long time. I think that they were looking ahead to this game last week and will be very prepared to come and get the upset win. I think UTSA is good enough to win this game outright and they have already beaten Western Kentucky once this year. I like UTSA to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 45-42 UTSA. |

12-02-21 | Cowboys -4.5 v. Saints | 27-17 | Win | 100 | 14 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M Selection: Dallas Cowboys. I like the Dallas Cowboys to cover the spread against the New Orleans Saints in this game on Thursday. The Cowboys have lost 2 games in a row now and I think that they will be looking to bounce back in this game. Their most recent loss was by 3 points in OT to the Raiders on Thanksgiving in a game that they trailed for most of the time and had to make a comeback in the end. The Cowboys will also be getting healthier for this game and will have key players like Amari Cooper returning to the lineup. I think that their offense will run much better now that they are getting healthier and I think that the Cowboys are going to be angry from their mini slump and looking for a big win in this game. The Saints have not looked good ever since losing their starting QB Winston for the year. They have lost 4 games in a row and have not been able to win a game with Trevor Siemian as the starter. Taysom Hill is going to be the starter in this game but he does not have a lot of experience as a QB in the NFL or even as a starter. I think that the Cowboys defense will be able to shut down Hill and the Saints offense and I am expecting them to struggle in this game. I think the Cowboys are due for a big win here so I like the Cowboys to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 35-13 Cowboys. |

11-28-21 | Chargers -2.5 v. Broncos | 13-28 | Loss | -110 | 30 h 46 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Chargers. I like the LA Chargers to cover the spread against the Denver Broncos in this game on Sunday. The Chargers have looked better lately and their offense finally exploded again in their previous game when they put up 41 points on the Steelers. The Chargers had a big lead in that game and let that lead go late even going down in the game but they were mentally tough enough to calm down and center themselves and then were skilled enough to go out there and execute in crunch time to bring home the win. This is an important game in their division and they could really use this win with the Chiefs looking a lot better in their games lately. I think the Chargers will come to play hard in this game and do whatever it takes to get the win against the Broncos who are easily the worst team in that division. The Broncos have been very up and down this year losing to teams they shouldn't be losing to like the very beaten up Steelers and Browns teams they faced early in the year but then they beat teams that they shouldn't be beating like the Cowboys. Their latest disaster was a 17 point loss at home to the Eagles in their previous game. I think that the Chargers are a lot better than the Eagles and if the Eagles can do that to them on their own home field then I think that the Chargers should destroy them in this spot. I like the Chargers to cover the spread here and get this important win. T.M. Prediction: 38-10 Chargers. |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Bucs -3 v. Colts | 38-31 | Win | 100 | 27 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to cover the spread against the Indianapolis Colts in this game on Sunday. The Buccaneers looked a lot better in their previous game against the Giants after losing 2 in a row right before that. They put up 30 points on the Giants and only gave up 10 points. The Buccaneers have already lost 3 games this year and that needs to stop if they want to find themselves fighting for home advantage and a 1st round bye in the playoffs at the end of the year. I think that they had their little slump and now that it's over I expect them to get back on track and start winning games by a lot again. The Colts look really good at the moment with 3 wins in a row and they just ripped off a big win in Buffalo destroying them 41-15. I think that game took a lot out of them to beat that kind of team in that fashion and to do it on the road. I think they are going to have a let down here and are getting a Buccaneers team that just got a taste of what it's like to win big again and I think that they are going to continue that here. I expect a big performance from Tom Brady and the Bucs so I like the Buccaneers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 34-27 Buccaneers. |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Eagles -3.5 v. Giants | Top | 7-13 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Eagles. I like the Philadelphia Eagles to cover the spread against the New York Giants in this game on Sunday. The Eagles have started to look really good lately. They have won 3 of their previous 4 games and they have been scoring a ton of points while doing so. They have put up 30+ points in their previous 3 wins and they have been a team that can score a lot of points all year. The Eagles have only scored less than 20 points in 1 game this year and that was back in week 2. Now they look a lot better and Hurts has a lot more experience playing and running the offense than he did back at the beginning of the year. The Giants have looked really bad lately and I think the Eagles are going to put up a ton of points on them in this game. The Giants just gave up 30 points to the Buccaneers and only put up 10 points themselves in their previous game and the offense looked like it did not know what was going on. Daniel Jones was missing throws in that game, ignoring or not seeing wide open players downfield, and the receivers themselves were dropping the ball and weren't always running the right routes in that game. They just fired their OC Jason Garrett but he is not the problem with this offense and I don't think it is going to make much of a difference for them who is calling the plays in this game when the players can't execute them. I think the Eagles are better and will be able to move the ball much better than the Giants can on offense. I like the Eagles to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-16 Eagles. |
|||||||
11-27-21 | Notre Dame -20 v. Stanford | 45-14 | Win | 100 | 32 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Notre Dame. I like Notre Dame to cover the spread against Stanford in this game on Saturday. Notre Dame has really started to look a lot better in their games lately with impressive performances on both sides of the ball. Their defense has looked great and has not allowed an opposing team to score 7+ points in their previous 3 games. Their offense has also been great as they have put up 28+ points in their previous 6 games. Their offense has actually put up 27+ points in all of their wins this year. Stanford hasn't been having a good year, they showed some good flashes at the beginning of the year but they have gone downhill over their final stretch of games to end the year. They have played 3 games in a row that they lost by 20+ points and 2 of those games were at home. Notre Dame is the 5th ranked team in the country and now that they have gotten rolling it's going to take a lot more than a team like Stanford to give them a run for their money. Notre Dame just shut out the team they faced in their previous game and I think that Stanford will be lucky if they can even score in this game with the way their offense has looked. I think Notre Dame is going to be able to score points at will on them. I like Notre Dame to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 44-7 Notre Dame. |
|||||||
11-27-21 | Wisconsin v. Minnesota +7 | 13-23 | Win | 100 | 28 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota. I like Minnesota to cover the spread against Wisconsin in this game on Saturday. I think this is going to be a close game between these 2 rival teams. Minnesota has looked good in most of their conference games this year with a few slip ups here and there. They really slipped up against Illinois losing at home in a completed dud of a game for them but they played Iowa the next week very well losing that game by 5 points. Their offense has looked really good in their other games and they have put up 30+ points in 4 of their 6 previous games. Their defense has also looked really solid and has not given up 17+ points in 4 of their previous 5 games. I think Minnesota's run game has been really good too lately rushing for 200+ yards in their previous 2 games and I think they are going to lean heavy on their run game again here. Wisconsin has looked really good in their games leading up to this one but they couldn't pull away from a struggling Nebraska last week and let them hang around all day in that game with a chance to even win it. Wisconsin is a run heavy team too with a really good defense on top of it. I think that they are going to rely on their defense and their running in this game and I think both teams will be battling for control on the ground. I expect this to be a lower scoring game with a slower pace that both teams stay within reach of each other the entire time. I like Minnesota to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 24-20 Wisconsin. |
|||||||
11-27-21 | Charlotte v. Old Dominion -9.5 | 34-56 | Win | 100 | 26 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Old Dominion. I like Old Dominion to cover the spread against Charlotte in this game on Saturday. Old Dominion has looked really good in their games as the year is nearing an end. They have won 4 games in a row and their defense has looked good in those games, giving up no more than 20 points in 3 of those games. Their offense has also looked pretty good putting up 30+ points in 2 of those games. Charlotte has been trending in the opposite direction lately as their year comes to an end here. They have lost 4 of their 5 previous games and they haven't looked good in any of them. Their defense hasn't looked good lately and has given up 40+ points in 3 of their previous 4 games. They also gave up 24 points to Rice who is not very good and barely made it by them with a win in OT. Both of these teams are 5-6 so only 1 of them will be able to qualify for a bowl game after this final game and the other team will be going home for the year. Old Dominion is at home here and I think that they have been playing much better than Charlotte has been lately. They will be hungry to put this game away and become bowl eligible with a win here. I like Old Dominion to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 34-20 Old Dominion. |

11-26-21 | Colorado v. Utah -23.5 | 13-28 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Utah. I like Utah to cover the spread against Colorado in this game on Friday. Utah has looked really good lately and they are well on their way to the Pac-12 title game. They just destroyed Oregon, who was a top 4 team in the country at the time, in their previous game winning 38-7. That is the 2nd game in their previous 3 games that they only gave up 7 points to the opposing team. Their offense has looked really good all year, they have put up 30+ points in 7 games in a row. Colorado has not had a good year and their offense has looked terrible all year. They have struggled to even get to 20 points in most of their games this year. Their defense has not looked good either, giving up 30+ points in 3 of their previous 4 games. I think Utah is way more talented than Colorado and will be able to score at will in this game. I think Colorado is going to struggle to put up points like they have in a lot of games this year too. I like Utah to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 52-10 Utah. |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Iowa +1 v. Nebraska | Top | 28-21 | Win | 100 | 25 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Iowa. I like Iowa to cover the spread against Nebraska in this game on Friday. Iowa has been having a great year with just 2 losses, they haven't looked the best in all of their games this year but they are still a very talented team. Their only losses of the year were to Purdue right after they played a very emotional game against Penn State just barely getting that win, and to Wisconsin right after that who looks to be on their way to the Big 10 title game. Their offense has looked really good in their previous 2 games, they put up 27 points and 33 points and their running game was very good too. Nebraska has not been having the year that they planned to with only 3 wins this year. They have lost 5 games in a row and they were all close games that they had a chance to win in. They were unable to win any of them though and I think that this team just has a problem playing a full 60 minutes and finishing their games off. I also think they have fallen short so many times because they are good but just not good enough. Iowa has a really good defense and their offense has looked really good too lately. I think Iowa should be the favorite here, they are just the better team. I like Iowa to cover the spread and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 27-21 Iowa. |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Ohio -6 v. Bowling Green | 10-21 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ohio. I like Ohio to cover the spread against Bowling Green State in this game on Friday. Ohio has looked good in their games lately but they hit a snag in their previous game when they lost to Toledo. Their offense has looked good all year, putting up 25+ points in a lot of their games. Bowling Green State has not been having a good year and they haven't looked good in their previous 2 games especially. Their offense didn't even show up in those games, putting up 17 and 7 points. Their defense has not looked good either and has been a big problem for them all year. They have given up 30+ points 6 games in a row including a game against Akron who is 1 of the worst teams in the MAC. They even gave up 40+ points in 3 of those games. I think that Ohio is going to shred through their defense in this game and put up a lot of points. I also think that Bowling Green State is going to struggle to put up points on Ohio and I think Ohio will pull away from them and make the game out of reach for Bowling Green State the longer it goes on. I like Ohio to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 42-20 Ohio. |
|||||||
11-25-21 | Raiders v. Cowboys -7.5 | Top | 36-33 | Loss | -102 | 15 h 28 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Cowboys. I like the Dallas Cowboys to cover the spread against the Las Vegas Raiders in this game on Thursday. The Cowboys didn't look good in their loss to the Chiefs last week but that is just 1 bad game among a ton of good ones that they have played in this year. The week before that they beat down on the Falcons 43-3 so I think this is still a very strong offense and team that just had a bad game in their previous 1. The Cowboys will still be missing a few key players on offense due to injuries and covid but I still think they have enough talent with who they have playing to lay a beating on the Raiders. The Raiders have lost 3 games in a row now and their offense hasn't been able to do anything in those games, putting up no more than 16 points in any of those games. They played as well as they could with all of the outside distractions going on but I think that Derek Carr and the team has taken about enough pressure that they can handle and I think that they are going to start cracking under the pressure as a team and fall of the map as the season goes on. The Cowboys will be looking for a bounce back game after a loss to the Chiefs and went better way to bounce back than getting a huge win at home on Thanksgiving for all the fans. I like the Cowboys to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-17 Cowboys. |
|||||||
11-25-21 | Fresno State v. San Jose State +7.5 | 40-9 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Jose State. I like San Jose State to cover the spread against Fresno State in this game on Thursday. Fresno State needs a win in this game to go to the conference championship but I think San Jose State will be looking to spoil their season here. San Jose State also need a win in this game to become bowl eligible or their year will be over. I think this is a game that the San Jose State players have been looking forward to all year and I think they are going to show up big in this game. This is rivalry weekend so I expect them to play hard in this game and keep it a close game. Fresno State's defense is not the strongest so San Jose State will be able to move the ball up the field on them and put points up on the board. I think San Jose State is going to play this game with a lot of heart and emotion and I expect them to be a tough team to beat in this game. I like San Jose State to cover the spread here and keep the game close. T.M. Prediction: 34-30 Fresno State. |
|||||||
11-25-21 | Bears v. Lions +3 | 16-14 | Win | 100 | 11 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Detroit Lions. I like the Detroit Lions to cover the spread against the Chicago Bears in this game on Thursday. Tim Boyle was the starting QB for the Lions in their previous game and he did not look great in that game but his team did stay in that game against the Browns losing 13-10 in the end. The Lions have looked a lot better in their previous 2 games with that 1 loss by 3 points and also a 16-16 tie against the Steelers. The improvements are showing and I don't really think this team is bad enough to go 0-16-1 this year so it is only a matter of time until they win a game. I think this is the perfect spot for them with what has been going on to the Bears in this past week. The Bears have lost 5 games in a row and they have not looked good in most of those games. In their previous game, the fans started to chant "Fire Nagy" from the stands and those chants supposedly even made it to 1 of his son's highschool football games. There is a lot of pressure on Nagy to win this game and to start winning games in general and I think that he is going to crack under all of this pressure. I like the Lions to cover the spread in a possible upset game here. T.M. Prediction: 19-16 Lions. |

11-22-21 | Giants +11.5 v. Bucs | 10-30 | Loss | -116 | 77 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Giants. I like the New York Giants to cover the spread against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in this game on Monday. The Giants have started to look a lot better in their games lately. They have won 2 games in their previous 3 and even had a chance to win that game that they lost, losing by 3 to the Chiefs in Kansas City. The Giants have gotten a lot healthier in the last few weeks with a lot of their offensive players coming back from injuries. They had their bye week last week too so that gave all their players some extra rest for this game. The Buccaneers have not looked good at all in their previous 2 games losing 2 in a row now. Tom Brady has not been playing well either with 4 interceptions thrown in those 2 games. The Bucs are also dealing with some distractions off the field now and with their struggles on offense already, I think the Giants can come in here and keep this a close game with the way they have been playing lately. I like the Giants to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-27 Buccaneers. |
|||||||
11-21-21 | Cowboys v. Chiefs -2.5 | 9-19 | Win | 100 | 49 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas City Chiefs. I like the Kansas City Chiefs to cover the spread against the Dallas Cowboys in this game on Sunday. The Chiefs looked like they were finally back in their previous games. After struggling on offense for so many games, they finally played well and Mahomes had a great game as they put up 41 points on the Raiders. Even their defense has looked much better in their games lately and has not given up 20+ points in their previous 3 games. The Cowboys have looked really good in their games lately but they have had a much weaker schedule than the Chiefs have had. The Cowboys just blew out the Falcons in their previous game but that is not that impressive since the Falcons were shut out at home on Thursday night to the Patriots with a rookie QB. The Chiefs have a lot more talent on their offense than the Cowboys do and I think that they can outscore them enough to cover the spread here. With Mahomes playing the way he did last week, like the Mahomes we have seen for the past few years, then the Cowboys won't be able to defend him. I like the Chiefs to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 38-34 Chiefs. |
|||||||
11-21-21 | Bengals v. Raiders | 32-13 | Win | 100 | 49 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bengals. I like the Cincinnati Bengals to cover the spread against the Las Vegas Raiders in this game on Sunday. The Bengals looked great at the beginning of the year and they were showing a lot of flashes of the elite team they can be with the players they have on their roster. They lost 2 games in a row before entering their bye week and they have been stewing in those losses for the better part of 2 weeks now. I think they are going to be looking for a big bounce back in this game to get their season back on track. They are getting the Raiders at the perfect time in a great spot for this bounce back too. The Raiders, like the Bengals, had a great start to the year but that has slipped away lately with all of the distractions that the team has had to endure. They have already lost their coach and a few really talented young players and now the pressure is starting to build on Derek Carr. Carr is not a good quarterback when the pressure is on him and he feels like he needs to do everything himself. The Raiders are starting to fall apart and it won't be long until the big slump hits them. I like the Bengals to cover the spread here and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 41-21 Bengals. |
|||||||
11-21-21 | Texans +10.5 v. Titans | 22-13 | Win | 100 | 46 h 60 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Houston Texans. I like the Houston Texans to cover the spread against the Tennessee Titans in this game on Sunday. The Texans looked a little better in their previous game, only losing by 8 points to the Dolphins. They didn't really look good in that game with 3 interceptions on offense and were only able to put up 9 points in the game. Their defense looked better, only giving up 17 points. That was Tyrod Taylor's 1st game back from an injury that knocked him out earlier in the year. They had their bye week last week and have had 2 weeks to prepare for this game. With Taylor back and coming out of the bye, they should look a lot better on offense this week and move the ball a lot better. They are getting the Titans in a great spot here since they lost their star RB Derrick Henry a few weeks ago and have started to look worse and worse each week in their games. They have won their 2 games without him but the offense is starting to regress a lot. Ryan Tannehill has not thrown 250+ yards in either of those games and he didn't even get to 200 passing yards in their previous game. I think this is a great spot to take the Texans off the bye against a regressing Titans team that will start to lose steam. I like the Texans to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 24-17 Titans. |
|||||||
11-21-21 | Packers -1 v. Vikings | Top | 31-34 | Loss | -102 | 46 h 3 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Green Bay Packers. I like the Green Bay Packers to cover the spread against the Minnesota Vikings in this game on Sunday. The Packers have shown that they are going to be a major force in the NFC this year. Their offense has looked great when Aaron Rodgers has been under center for them. Their defense has started to look really good in their games lately too. They have given up 10+ points just 1 time in their previous 4 games. The Vikings are probably feeling good after a win against the Chargers in their previous game but this season has not been going their way this year. They have been up and down in their games and have also been on the wrong end of a few bad beats. Despite everything that has happened to them in their games this year, I still think that they are just a mediocre team that is finding ways to get by and stay above water barely. The Packers have better quality players on their team and they are a Super Bowl caliber team. I like the Packers to cover the spread here and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 34-20 Packers. |
|||||||
11-20-21 | Vanderbilt v. Ole Miss -36 | 17-31 | Loss | -107 | 30 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ole Miss. I like Ole Miss to cover the spread against Vanderbilt in this game on Saturday. Ole Miss has looked a lot better on defense in their games lately and they have been very consistent on offense too. Vanderbilt is the worst team in the conference and they have been very inconsistent in their games this year. They have looked okay in some games but then they have games where they don't even put a touchdown on the board and give up 40+ points to the opposing team in the process. I think Ole Miss is going to blow Vanderbilt out in their last home game of the year to put on a show for the fans. Ole Miss has the defense to keep Vanderbilt off the board for most of the game and I think their offense also has the ability to put this game out of reach very quickly. I like Ole Miss to pull away and cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 56-7 Ole Miss. |
|||||||
11-20-21 | SMU v. Cincinnati -10.5 | 14-48 | Win | 100 | 26 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati. I like Cincinnati to cover the spread against SMU in this game on Saturday. Cincinnati is ranked 5th in the country at the moment and they have 2 games left this year to prove why they deserve to move up into a playoff spot. They have been playing great all year and were even ranked 2nd in the country at 1 point but now they are 5th and with Ohio State playing Michigan State this week, they know anything could happen there and give them an opportunity to move up ahead of Ohio State. They need to take care of their own business 1st though and that starts with blowing out the team in front of that to try and earn some style points. SMU slipped up a few weeks ago losing 2 games in a row but they have bounced back in their previous game last week. They have not performed well in their conference games on the road though, with those 2 losses in a row coming on the road and their win last week coming at home. I think SMU is going to have a rough time here on the road again and I expect Cincinnati to come out strong and take a big lead early. I like Cincinnati to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 42-24 Cincinnati. |

11-20-21 | UAB v. UTSA -4.5 | 31-34 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 17 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UTSA. I like UTSA to cover the spread against UAB in this game on Saturday. With just 2 games left this year, UTSA will be looking to win their conference title and preserve their undefeated record. UTSA has won every game in conference play, except for 1 game, by 10+ points and the 1 they did not was a 6 point win over Western Kentucky. Their defense has looked really good in their previous 4 games lately, giving up less than 17 points in 3/4 of those previous games. UAB has looked alright this year but they are a team that has been very up and down in their games this year and they also have some questionable losses on their schedule this year too. I think UTSA is an all-around better team on both offense and defense, and I think that they are going to be motivated to play hard in this game and win it knowing they are going up against a good team in their conference that still has a chance to overtake them and go to the championship game with a win here. I like UTSA to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-17 UTSA. |

11-20-21 | Michigan State +19.5 v. Ohio State | Top | 7-56 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Michigan State. I like Michigan State to cover the spread against Ohio State in this game on Saturday. Michigan State has looked really good all year, they only have 1 loss this year against Purdue but that loss came right after a big game against Michigan where they won so that game against Purdue was a let down spot for them. They bounced back from that performance last week when they beat Maryland by 19 points. There is no doubt that they have been looking forward to this game all year. Ohio State is ranked in the top 4 at the moment but a loss in this game could destroy their playoff hopes altogether and I think Michigan State is going play like they want to deliver that loss to them. Michigan State has a really good defense and I think they will keep Ohio State from running away with this game. This game is very important so I think it is going to be a much closer game with 2 really good teams here. I like Michigan State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 38-27 Ohio State. |

11-19-21 | Arizona v. Washington State -14.5 | 18-44 | Win | 100 | 16 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington State. I like Washington State to cover the spread against Arizona in this game on Friday. Washington State has really looked good in conference play as the year is coming to an end. They have picked up 4 wins in their 5 previous conference games. They just lost in their previous game to Oregon and I think they are going to be looking for a bounce back in this game. Washington State is going to be hungry for a win in this game, they have 2 games left this year and are 1 win away from becoming bowl eligible. They are taking on the worst team in the Pac-12 with just 1 win all year, I think they are going to come out strong in this game and ensure they get that 1 win they need here. Arizona has looked terrible all year and the tone was set for their season very early on when they lost to state rival Northern Arizona, a team from the FCS. This is a very bad team and they are not going to have a good time against Washington State who still has something to play for and is looking for 1 more win at least. I think they are going to bury Arizona here to get that win they need. I like Washington State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 42-10 Washington State. |

11-16-21 | Bowling Green +17 v. Miami-OH | 7-34 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Bowling Green State. I like Bowling Green State to cover the spread against Miami (OH) in this game on Tuesday. Bowling Green has looked a lot better in this part of the season than they did at the beginning. Their last game was terrible as they were destroyed by Toledo, ruining everything that they had accomplished in their win over Buffalo. They did look really good in that Buffalo game though, and there has been flashes of that kind of play from them all year like when they beat Minnesota earlier in the year. The defense has the pieces there and they have a great coach guiding them in the right direction over there. Miami (OH) is tied for 1st place in their division with Kent State and they still have hopes of making it to the title game. A loss here would be a big blow to those hopes and with not many games left to pour their heart out in, I think Bowling Green is going to try to play spoiler in this game. They are going to be looking for a strong finish to their year over in Bowling Green so they can build on that next year and I think this is the perfect game to make a statement in. I like Bowling Green to cover the spread here and give Miami (OH) a run for their money. T.M. Prediction: 31-27 Miami (OH). |

11-15-21 | Rams -3.5 v. 49ers | 10-31 | Loss | -105 | 57 h 37 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Rams. I like the LA Rams to cover the spread against the San Francisco 49ers in this game on Monday. The Rams were completely embarrassed in their game last week in primetime as well on Sunday night. Everyone watched them, in a game they were supposed to destroy in, get handled and dominated by the Titans defense losing that game at home by 12 points. They looked really bad in that game and I think they will be looking to bounce back in a big way. They get a 49ers team in a division game that they have to have and the 49ers have looked like junk this year. The Rams have really gone all in too with their recent moves for Von Miller to bolster their defense, and Odell Beckham Jr. to add to the lethal weapons in their passing game. The message that the front office is sending the team is that they are trying to win a Super Bowl now and I expect the team to respond in a big way. The 49ers just lost to the Cardinals who were missing their star WR and had Colt McCoy under center for that game. The Rams are going to be out for blood in this game so I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 34-14 Rams. |
|||||||
11-14-21 | Chiefs -2.5 v. Raiders | 41-14 | Win | 100 | 33 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas City Chiefs. I like the Kansas City Chiefs to cover the spread against the Las Vegas Raiders in this game on Sunday night. The Chiefs have been struggling with their offense lately and haven't looked good in their games. Their division is still wide open though, and they need a big win here to boost themselves in the standings. This game could be their season right here with all of the good teams they have to compete with in the AFC West and I think Mahomes is going to step up in this game and ball out like we haven't really seen him do yet this year. Even though they are struggling, they have been finding ways to win their games with 3 wins in their L4 and they won all of those by 3+ points. The Raiders have looked good in their games this year but it's been in flashes, some games they look great in and others they don't look so good. They have had to deal with a lot of distractions off the field lately and that includes losing a few of their top draft picks. I think the Raiders are going to start falling apart at the seams soon and this is the perfect spot for the Chiefs to catch them for a win here. I like the Chiefs to cover this small spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-21 Chiefs. |
|||||||
11-14-21 | Jaguars +10.5 v. Colts | 17-23 | Win | 100 | 25 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Jacksonville Jaguars. I like the Jacksonville Jaguars to cover the spread against the Indianapolis Colts in this game on Sunday. The Jags have looked much better lately winning 2 of their L3 games that they have played. I think they are going to have a lot of confidence for this game coming off a huge win against the Bills last week. They won that game 9-6 and although their offense did not do a whole lot, their defense really played their heart out and I'm expecting another great performance from them here. The Colts have looked a little shaky on defense lately giving up 30+ points in 2 games in a row now. They even had a 42-10 lead over the Jets last week and they let the Jets come back and score 30 on them with 3rd string QB Josh Johnson under center. This is a division game so it is going to be a close and scrappy game where I think both will try to win the game with their running. I like the Jags to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 24-21 Colts. |
|||||||
11-14-21 | Bucs -9.5 v. Washington Football Team | 19-29 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to cover the spread against the Washington Football Team in this game on Sunday. The Bucs had their bye week last week and have been sitting on a division loss to the Saints since the week before their bye. They lost that game to the Saints by 9 points and Trevor Semian played a majority of that game at QB for the Saints. I think the Bucs are going to be out for blood in this game and they have had a whole 2 weeks to get ready for this game. Washington is also coming out of their bye week last week but their offense has looked really bad in their games lately. Washington hasn't scored 14+ points in their L3 games. Their defense has looked a little better but still is nothing compared to what we saw from them last year. I think the Bucs are going to be looking for a blow out win to bounce back here and I like them to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-14 Buccaneers. |
|||||||
11-13-21 | NC State +2 v. Wake Forest | 42-45 | Loss | -110 | 52 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: NC State. I like NC State to cover the spread against Wake Forest in this game on Saturday. NC State has looked really good in their games lately and they have been getting better and better as the weeks go on. They had 1 slip up against Miami but other than that, their defense has looked great and hasn't given up 14+ points in any of their conference games besides Miami. Wake Forest was finally handed their 1st loss of the year against UNC last week and now I think another Carolina team that's even better is going to take them down here. Wake Forest has a great offense that's no doubt, but their defense is terrible and part of the reason why they keep finding themselves in these games where they need to score 50 points just to win. I think NC State is going to have no problem keeping up in this game and putting the points up on the board. I do think Wake Forest will struggle to put points up though because of the great defense that NC State possesses. They are going to make it difficult for Wake Forest to score in this game and I think that is going to be the difference here. I like NC State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 38-27 NC State. |
|||||||
11-13-21 | Georgia -20 v. Tennessee | Top | 41-17 | Win | 100 | 48 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Georgia. I like Georgia to cover the spread against Tennessee in this game on Saturday. Georgia is the best team in the country this year and they have the best defense by far. Georgia's defense has not given up 14+ points in a single game this year and they haven't even given up 75 points total for the year. Their offense is no slouch either though, they have put up 30+ points in every game this year except for their first game against Clemson. Tennessee has looked better this year as the weeks go on but I think their defense is going to get burned by Georgia in this game and I don't think they are going to be able to score a lot of points either. Tennessee just lost a few weeks ago to Alabama by almost 30 points and they still put up 24 points in that game. I don't think they will be able to put up anywhere near that many points on Georgia's defense and I think Georgia is still going to put up roughly the same as Alabama did. This defense is just too good to let Tennessee score with ease so I like Georgia to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 45-10 Georgia. |
|||||||
11-13-21 | Minnesota +5.5 v. Iowa | 22-27 | Win | 100 | 48 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota. I like Minnesota to cover the spread against Iowa in this game on Saturday. Minnesota was looking really good in their games before losing last week. They had won 4 games in a row, all by 7+ points, right before that loss to Illinois. I think that they may have been looking ahead to this game last week and I expect them to be embarrassed after that loss. I like them to come out and play hard in this game to make up for the way they played last week. Ever since Iowa pulled off that win over Penn State they haven't looked the same since. They only put up 23 points in that game but then put up just 7 points in 2 games in a row after that. They ended the drought with a win last week but they could only muster up a 5 point win over Northwestern who has not looked good this year, and they only put up 17 points to win that game. I think this offense has some major problems at the moment and they are going to be getting a Minnesota team that is very upset after a bad loss to Illinois last week. I think Minnesota even has a chance for the upset here but I like them to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 21-20 Penn State. |
|||||||
11-13-21 | New Mexico State v. Alabama -51 | 3-59 | Win | 100 | 45 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Alabama. I like Alabama to cover the spread against New Mexico State in this game on Saturday. Alabama has worked their way back into a college football playoff spot after dropping a game to Texas A&M a few weeks ago. With the season winding down they will be looking to hang onto that spot and Nick Saban has already stressed to his team earlier in the year that it doesn't matter who the competition is on any given Saturday, they need to get up for every game they play. Now is the best time against a horrid New Mexico State team to pad their chances with a big win over the Aggies in this game. Alabama has had a tougher schedule this year but in the games that they played some really bad teams, they put up over 50 points and didn't give up more than 2 scores. New Mexico State has just 1 win this year and they only put up 13 points in their last outing, and that was against Utah State. I don't think they are going to be scoring many points on Alabama's defense and I think the offense is going to rip them apart. I like Alabama to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 63-3 Alabama. |
|||||||
11-12-21 | Cincinnati -23 v. South Florida | 45-28 | Loss | -111 | 41 h 46 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati. I like Cincinnati to cover the spread against South Florida in this game on Friday. Cincinnati was taken out of the top 4 and they have few games left to try and get themselves back in a top 4 spot if they want to see the college football playoffs this year. They need a big win in this game to help their case out and I think that they can get it here. Cincinnati has not looked good in the 1st half of their games lately but they are pulling away a lot in the 2nd half. With few games left in their season I expect them to come out with a quick start and take a big lead right away. South Florida has looked a lot better lately than when they started the season but this is still the same team that was struggling to score any points on offense in their 1st couple of games. I think they are going to struggle on a good defense like Cincinnati has and that will leave Cincinnati with opportunity to pull away on the scoreboard as the game goes on. I like Cincinnati to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 41-10 Cincinnati. |
|||||||
11-09-21 | Akron v. Western Michigan -25.5 | 40-45 | Loss | -115 | 13 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Western Michigan. I like Western Michigan to cover the spread against Akron in this game on Tuesday. Western Michigan has not looked good in their last few games with their last win coming 3 games ago where they destroyed Kent State 64-31. Luckily, they are getting an easy opponent here to bounce back from their 2 losses in a row since Akron is 1 of the worst teams in the MAC. Akron only have 1 win this year and they have lost 3 games in a row. Akron's only win this year came against Bowling Green who might just be the only team in the MAC that's actually worse than them. I think this is a great spot for Western Michigan to bounce back and get back in the win column. I think they can win this game by 30+ points with their defense holding down Akron to not a lot of scoring. I like Western Michigan to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 42-10 Western Michigan. |
|||||||
11-07-21 | Chargers -1 v. Eagles | Top | 27-24 | Win | 100 | 29 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Chargers. I like the LA Chargers to cover the spread against the Philadelphia Eagles in this game on Sunday. The Chargers were on such a great run before their bye week knocking off the Chiefs, Browns, and the Raiders during that run before it all came to an end against the Ravens. They came out of their bye last week and lost another game against the Patriots where they made some end of the game mistakes which sealed their fate. I think that they are due for a bounce back in this game, they are still a very good team on both offense and defense and they are going to get right in this game. The Eagles looked really good in their last game posting 44 points but that was against the winless Lions who have a real chance to go 0-17 this year. I think there is too much respect for the Eagles when they have shown that they cannot do much to keep up with the big boys until they are already trailing in those games by 14+ points. The Chargers are the better team in every way and I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 35-21 Chargers. |
|||||||
11-07-21 | Texans +6 v. Dolphins | 9-17 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Houston Texans. I like the Houston Texans to cover the spread against the Miami Dolphins in this game on Sunday. Their offense looked a lot better in their last game as they were able to put up 20+ points on a good Rams defense. I expect their offense to move much better in this game against a much weaker Dolphins defense and with Tyrod Taylor back under center for them. Taylor is a reliable veteran QB and he will be able to lead this offense to some scores here. The Dolphins have looked like a mess on the field, winning their 1st game of the season and then losing 7 games in a row after that. I don't think they should be favored by this many points when their offense only put up 11 points last week. They have lost to some bad teams too like the Falcons and even gave the Jaguars their 1st win of the year, and all of this was in their last 3 games. I think Tyrod Taylor gives the Texans a real chance at winning this game outright so I like the Texans to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 23-20 Dolphins. |
|||||||
11-07-21 | Raiders v. Giants +3.5 | 16-23 | Win | 100 | 25 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Giants. I like the New York Giants to cover the spread against the Las Vegas Raiders in this game on Sunday. The Giants have looked much better in their last 2 games and I think they have a real chance at winning this game at home against the Raiders. Their defense has played great 2 weeks in a row now only giving up 3 points to the Panthers and 20 points to the Chiefs. They not only stopped that great offense but they had a chance to win that game if it wasn't for some end of the game mistakes made by them. The Raiders have had a lot of off the field drama happen to them this year and I think it all has to be building up in a very negative way. First their coach stepped down and they have rallied since then to win their games but now they are faced with another situation in Henry Ruggs who was released from the team due to a DUI incident involving a death. The team has to be very emotional right now and I think the Giants can take advantage here with the way they have been playing. I like the Giants to cover the spread here with all of the off field distractions for the Raiders. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Giants. |
|||||||
11-06-21 | Iowa -12 v. Northwestern | 17-12 | Loss | -102 | 16 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Iowa. I like Iowa to cover the spread in this game against Northwestern on Saturday. Iowa have lost 2 bad games in a row now and have really mucked up their season in just those 2 games. They went from being a top 10 team and leading their division in the conference to just out of the race in everything with those 2 losses. I still think they are a good team with a great defense and I expect that they will want to finish their year strong so I think they are going to bounce back in this one. Northwestern has looked really bad in their games this year so I think this is the perfect spot for Iowa to use this as a get right game. Northwestern hasn't put up more 15+ points in each of their last 2 games and they gave up 30+ points in both of those. I think they are really going to struggle against this defense and it is going to lead to turnovers that will dig them deep into a hole. I like Iowa to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-7 Iowa. |
|||||||
11-06-21 | Michigan State -3 v. Purdue | 29-40 | Loss | -103 | 13 h 60 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Michigan State. I like Michigan State to cover the spread against Purdue in this game on Saturday. Michigan State is ranked 3rd in the country at the moment and have finally worked themselves into a college football playoff spot. I think they are going to do whatever they can to make sure that they hold on to that spot. That means that they have to pull off a convincing win in this game and I think they can do that. They have looked good in conference play this year but it was their last game that was really impressive. Before that game, they were winning games with their defense keeping a lot of them low scoring. They got down a lot in their last game and against a good team and great defense in Michigan but they were able to collect themselves and pull off a giant comeback winning the game late with no time left on the clock. That takes a lot of heart to do so I think this is a very tough team that can get the job done here and do what they need to do to keep their playoff spot. Purdue is nothing special and their offense doesn't really put up a ton of points in their games. I think Michigan State can pull away from them here and cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-13 Michigan State. |
|||||||
11-06-21 | Temple v. East Carolina -15 | 3-45 | Win | 100 | 12 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: East Carolina. I like East Carolina to cover the spread against Temple in this game on Saturday. East Carolina has looked really good in their games lately and have been playing tough in their conference play. They only have the 1 bad loss to UCF but they also have 2 big wins by 15+ points and they have another loss in there to Houston but they lost that game in OT and Houston is very good with a 7-1 record and are undefeated in conference play. Temple have really fallen into a hole lately and have been destroyed in their last 3 games. They most they put up in 1 of those games is 14 points, failing to even put up 10 in either of the other 2 games. They have also given up 30+ points in each of those games. Their defense isn't playing well lately and their offense is not going to be able to keep up with the way they have been playing either. I think Temple will struggle to put up points in this game which will let East Carolina run away with the game as it goes on. I like East Carolina to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 34-10 East Carolina. |
|||||||
11-06-21 | Ohio State -14 v. Nebraska | Top | 26-17 | Loss | -112 | 9 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ohio State. I like Ohio State to cover the spread against Nebraska in this game on Saturday. Ohio State have looked much better in every game since their little hiccup against Oregon at the beginning of the season. They have put up over 50+ points in most of those games and have put up 30+ points in all of them. Their defense is playing much better too, giving up less than 20 points in each of their last 5 games, except their last 1 against Penn State. Nebraska is no Penn State though, and I don't think they will be able to even put up 20 points on this Ohio State defense. Nebraska have lost 3 games in a row now and even though they made all of those games close where they had a chance to win the game, they still lost all of them to teams much worse than Ohio State. CJ Stroud is looking to express why his team deserves a playoff berth and a blowout win here would really help their case out a lot. I think they are going to go out there and destroy Nebraska without taking their foot off the gas at any point. I like Ohio State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 49-14 Ohio State. |

11-05-21 | Virginia Tech -3 v. Boston College | 3-17 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Virginia Tech. I like Virginia Tech to cover the spread against Boston College in this game on Friday. Virginia Tech looked really good in their last game when they beat Georgia Tech by 9 points. They grabbed a lead early in that game and were able to hang on the whole game while holding Georgia Tech to 0 points in the 4th quarter. Boston College had a very good start to their year and things were looking promising for them until they hit conference play. They are winless in conference play this year and they have lost 4 games in a row since starting 4-0 this year. They have not been able to put up 14+ points in any of their conference games and they have given up 20+ points in all of their last 3 games. Boston College is going in the wrong direction to finish of their year but Virginia Tech looks like they are trying to turn things around. Even in the conference games that they lost, they didn't look bad and kept a lot of those games within a touchdown. I like Virginia Tech to pick on the low hanging fruit here and cover the spread against Boston College. T.M. Prediction: 28-13 Virginia Tech. |
|||||||
11-03-21 | Northern Illinois v. Kent State -3.5 | 47-52 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kent State. I like Kent State to cover the spread against Northern Illinois in this game on Wednesday. Kent State has looked really good in their games within the conference this year. They only had 1 dud game against Western Michigan but they bounced back from that in their last game with a win over Ohio. I think they are going to play hard in this game since Northern Illinois is the only undefeated team left in their conference play. Northern Illinois has started to look shaky in their matches lately. They are 4-0 in the conference but a lot of their wins have not been convincing. They have 2 wins by a field goal or less and all 4 conference games they have played they won by just 1 score. I think their run has finally come to an end here on the road against Kent State who is starting to look much better each week. I like Kent State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-21 Kent State. |
|||||||
11-02-21 | Eastern Michigan v. Toledo -8.5 | 52-49 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 37 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toledo. I like Toledo to cover the spread against Eastern Michigan in this game on Tuesday. Toledo was not playing well in the MAC Conference a few weeks ago but they came out in their last game and put down a beating on Western Michigan in their last game. They won by 19 points in that game and their run game ran all over them to pick up that win. Eastern Michigan is vulnerable on their run defense giving up almost 200 yards per game. I expect Toledo to roll out the same game plan here and run the ball all game, wearing down that defense as the game goes on. Toledo has played some good defense this year and they have a good passing defense. Eastern Michigan likes to throw the ball more and will try to do that here especially if they get behind. I think the Toledo defense is going to stop them in this game and make some big stops in some key plays. Toledo is going to keep wearing down on that defense until they start to run away with the game making it out of reach for Eastern Michigan as the time ticks on. i like Toledo to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 38-21 Toledo. |

10-31-21 | Cowboys v. Vikings -3 | 20-16 | Loss | -104 | 17 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Vikings. I like the Minnesota Vikings to cover the spread against the Dallas Cowboys in this game on Sunday. The Vikings have played in a lot of close games this year and if a few things had gone differently in their favor in some of those games they could easily be looking at a 5-1 record this year but instead are 3-3. They have finally picked up some steam heading into their bye week winning 2 games in a row. I expect that their bye week was used to practice finishing their games as they have the potential to be a really good team if they can execute in those big moments of the game. I think they will have some confidence here after holding back Carolina's comeback to win in OT with a TD. The Cowboys also had their bye week and they were really hot going into it. I think that bye may have cooled them off a little and they started to show some cracks in their last game against the Patriots. They let the Patriots stay in that game right to the end and almost lost it having to settle the game in OT and take the win there. I think this could be the point where the Cowboys start to regress a little and I expect the Vikings to start turning the tables on their season as they are not as bad as their record suggests. I like the Vikings here at home to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 28-21 Vikings. |

10-31-21 | Bucs -4.5 v. Saints | 27-36 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to cover the spread against the New Orleans Saints in this game on Sunday. The Bucs have been playing very well lately and have won their last 3 games by 6+ points each. Their offense destroyed the Bears and their great defense by putting up 38 points against them. Their defense flipped the script in that game and only gave up 3 points to the Bears offense. The Bucs defense has played much better in their last 4 games and has only given up 20+ points on 1 occasion during those 4 games and that was a late comeback that they slipped up a bit in. The Saints have been up and down all year and just played a game that they won by only putting up 13 points. That was against the Seahawks who are missing their starting QB and I'm sure that game has a different outcome if Russell Wilson plays in it. The Bucs have some of the best talent in the league on their offense and the Saints are not going to be able to win this game by only putting up 13 points. Seattle also has 1 of the worst defenses in the league so that 13 points just looks pathetic by the Saints. Tom Brady sees the variety of NFC teams who all have just the 1 loss and he knows that they can't afford another loss as it will be too important at the end of the year. I think he has his eyes set on this game and will put on a very good show for everyone here. I like the Bucs to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-17 Buccaneers. |

10-31-21 | Patriots v. Chargers -4.5 | 27-24 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Chargers. I like the LA Chargers to cover the spread against the New England Patriots in this game on Sunday. The Chargers were on a great 3 game run destroying the team in their path and they played some very good teams during that run, the Chiefs, the Raiders, and the Browns. They had their run ended when they ran into the Ravens right before their bye week and the Ravens laid them out on the field completely. The offense got nothing done in that game putting up just 6 points and gave up 34 to the Ravens. I expect that they used their bye week to go over that game and fix all the mistakes they made on offense and on defense too since they have given up a lot of points in their games lately. The Patriots played a close game with the Cowboys and then destroyed the Jets last week by 40+ points. The Chargers are much better than the teams they faced and I expect the Chargers to come out strong in this game and make up for the way they played against the Ravens. The Chargers have better pieces on their defense and they have a better QB who has a lot more weapons to make plays with than Mac Jones has. I think the patriots are going to struggle against the Chargers here so I like the Chargers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 38-24 Chargers. |

10-31-21 | Rams -16 v. Texans | 38-22 | Push | 0 | 10 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Rams. I like the LA Rams to cover the spread against the Houston Texans in this game on Sunday. The Rams have been putting up 25+ points in their games this year and have a lot of weapons on their team that they can attack you with. Their offense has always been very powerful but now their defense is starting to play much better lately compared to some of their earlier games this season. They have given up less than 20 points in each of their last 3 games in a row. The Texans are really bad this year, after shedding all of their good players over the past couple of years they are really left with nothing. They have only scored 8 points across their last 2 games and have even been shutout 1 time in their last 4. Their offense has not been able to produce anything in their games and with the way that the Rams have been playing on defense lately, I don't think they will be able to do much here either. I think the Rams are going to stunt the Texans offense like what we have seen happen to the Texans in their last few games and I expect the Rams to put up a ton of points in this game. The Rams are much better in every way so I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 42-7 Rams. |

10-30-21 | Washington +3 v. Stanford | 20-13 | Win | 100 | 17 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington. I like Washington to cover the spread against Stanford in this game on Saturday. Washington ended their 2 game losing streak with a win over Arizona last week and their defense held Arizona to 16 points in that game. Despite their record, Washington have been playing very well in their games lately. They came close to beating a good UCLA team and they almost got the win over Oregon State too losing that game by 3 points in such a close one. Stanford has lost 2 games in a row now ever since upsetting Oregon almost a month ago. Their offense has been terrible since then, putting up 10 points against Arizona State and 31 against Washington State but they didn't do much in the 1st half of that game and were already in a hole by the time they woke up in the 2nd half. Washington State is not a good team at all this year either and that should have been a win for them. Washington is much better and they actually play defense in their games and they do it quite well. I don't think they are going to let Stanford do much on offense in this game and will hold them down all game. I think Washington is going to win this game and I think they are going to do it with their defense. I like Washington to cover the spread here because I think if they lose this game then no way it is more than a field goal. T.M. Prediction: 27-14 Washington. |
|||||||
10-30-21 | Oregon State v. California +1.5 | 25-39 | Win | 100 | 14 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: California. I like California to cover the spread and win this game against Oregon State. Cal has been playing well in their last 2 games with a win over Colorado where they held them to just 3 points with their defense and lost to Oregon in the game before that but only by a touchdown and they kept Oregon to 24 points in that game. Cal has been getting better and better on defense in their games and I expect them to have a really good game here at home shutting down Oregon State and their offense. Oregon State just ripped a win off of Utah last week who was the only undefeated team in conference play left in the Pac-12. They handed them their 1 loss and now most of the leaders in the Pac-12 are 3-1 in conference play. That was a big win for them as Utah was on fire for weeks and I am expecting a let down for them here. Oregon State is 1 of those 3-1 teams in the conference but a loss here would be detrimental to their title hopes. I like Cal to play some spoiler for them here and take this win at home. T.M. Prediction: 31-28 California. |
|||||||
10-30-21 | UMass v. Liberty -35 | 17-62 | Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Liberty. I like Liberty to cover the spread against UMass in this game on Saturday. Liberty have stumbled a bit in their last few games but I expect them to get back on track with a big win here. Their quarterback Malik Willis is headed to the NFL in the near future with the way he plays and the skills he possesses. UMass have come up with 1 win in 4 games and that win was against UConn who is 1 of the worst teams in the FBS... but Umass is a very close 2nd and has been having a terrible year. If you take that win out then they have lost their last 3 in a row and have not scored more than a TD in any of those games. Liberty has a very good team and their quarterback is something really special. He is going to throw circles around this bad UMass team and I expect that they will blow them out posting 40+ points themselves in the game. I like Liberty to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 49-3 Liberty. |
|||||||
10-28-21 | Packers +6.5 v. Cardinals | 24-21 | Win | 100 | 15 h 59 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Green Bay Packers. I like the Green Bay Packers to cover the spread against the Arizona Cardinals in this game on Thursday. The Packers are off to a great start this year and they look like a team that is going to be a serious contender this year. Their offense is putting up points in their games with 3+ TDs in most of their games this year. Their defense has been playing very well in their last 2 games holding their opponent to less than 2 TDs in each of those. The Packers will likely be missing Davante Adams in this game due to covid but he does not make up their whole team. They still have Aaron Rodgers at quarterback who is one of the best in the league and he will do what is necessary to help his team move the ball and score. They also have a very good running game in Aaron Jones and I think we are going to see a lot of him in this game. The Packers may be a little thin at wide receiver but Rodgers will be able to make the good throws to whoever to get the job done here. The Cardinals will also be missing some pieces on their defense such as JJ Watt and that will not help them out in this game. The Cardinals usually get off to a slow start in their games and I think that Rodgers and the Packers will take advantage of that if it happens here. This could be a possible preview of the NFC Championship game so I expect it to be really close despite all of the missing players. I think this game is going to come down to whoever has the ball last and will be decided by a field goal. I like the Packers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Packers. |
|||||||
10-28-21 | South Florida +10 v. East Carolina | 14-29 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 10 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: South Florida. I like South Florida to cover the spread against East Carolina in this game on Thursday. South Florida have really turned their season around from where they started this year. They were one of the worst teams in the 1st few weeks but now they are starting to play much better in their games. They are around a +10 in this game but they have only lost 1 game in their L4 by 10+ points and that was against the undefeated SMU. It started with their game against BYU when they almost came back in that game and gave BYU a run for their money. They had a setback in the next game against SMU but the wheels had already started to turn on this team as they lost to Tulsa by 1 point in their next game and then finally pulled off the 20 point win against Temple in their last game. East Carolina have only beaten 1 FBS team by 10+ points this year and it was against Tulane who is the worst team in their conference right now. They have actually lost their last 2 games in conference play with those games being close within a TD in both. East Carolina have started to regress after a very good start to their season before conference play. South Florida is starting to move in the right direction now and they have been getting better each week and I expect them to be even more improved in this game. I like South Florida to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-28 East Carolina. |

10-24-21 | Colts v. 49ers -4 | 30-18 | Loss | -101 | 18 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Francisco 49ers. I like the San Francisco 49ers to cover the spread against the Indianapolis Colts in this game on Sunday night. The 49ers lost 3 games in a row going into their bye week but they did not perform that bad in those games. They lost to the Packers by 2 points making that game really close and then they lost 2 divisional games each by 1 touchdown. They lost to the Seahawks before Russell Wilson got injured and in a game that the Seahawks were desperate to win so they wouldn't fall to 1-3 before facing the Rams on a short week. They also lost their last game before the bye to the Cardinals who might just the be the best team in the NFL with the only undefeated record left and they held the Cardinals to just 17 points, the only game the Cardinals haven't scored 30+ in all year. Their defense played great and the bye week gave some time for some of their injuries to heal up. They will even be getting their starting QB Jimmy Garoppolo back for this game and he has a much better chance of leading this offense with all the time he has spent in SF as their QB. The Colts are not that good this year and their defense really slipped up in blowing a pretty big lead they had over the Ravens late in that game. They only gave up 3 points last week but that was against the Texans who are awful on offense. The 49ers will be prepared for this game after their bye and will have the home crowd on their side. This is their chance to change the narrative and the momentum after losing 3 in a row and I think they get it done here in this game. I like the 49ers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 27-17 49ers. |
|||||||
10-24-21 | Jets v. Patriots -7 | 13-54 | Win | 100 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New England Patriots. I like the New England Patriots to cover the spread against the New York Jets in this game on Sunday. The Patriots have played some good games lately and it all started with their Tom Brady reunion when they faced the Bucs 3 weeks ago. They lost that game at home 19-17 but they put up a real good fight in that one and came really close to winning that game in the final 2 minutes. When they played the Texans they got off to a bad start and found themselves in a big hole but they dug their way out and found a way to win that game after being down by double digits late in the game. Fast forward to last week when they lost to the Cowboys in OT but almost stole that game from them in the final 2 minutes. Dallas is very good this year and they kept up in that game causing a lot of trouble for the Cowboys. Now they get the Jets coming to town and have already beat them 25-6 earlier in the season in New Jersey. Their defense played great holding the Jets to just 6 points in their own stadium. The Jets got their first win this year against the Titans and then went to England for their next game losing to a bad Falcons team. They had their bye last week and find themselves on the road again for their first game back from London. The Jets have been getting better each week but the Patriots have also improved a lot from the last time they faced. I expect their defense to play well here and their offense to play even better putting up more points on the Jets than they did last time. I like the Patriots to cover the spread here in a big divisional win for them. T.M. Prediction: 31-14 Patriots. |
|||||||
10-24-21 | Chiefs -4 v. Titans | 3-27 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas City Chiefs. I like the Kansas City Chiefs to cover the spread against the Tennessee Titans in this game on Sunday. The Chiefs have struggled out of the gates this year with a very slow start but they started to pick their game up last week. They were down by 3 at halftime against the WFT but they made some adjustments and came out dominating the game from that point on. They outscored Washington 21-0 in the 2nd half of that game holding them to 0 points in that half. Their defense made some big steps in that game and I think that is the turn around spot for them this season. The Chiefs still have a great offense and can put up a ton of points but their defense has been holding them back in their games. I think their defense is going to step up in this game and make some key stops. The Titans have a few injuries at wide receiver, both AJ Brown and Julio Jones are probable to play but they likely won't be at 100% in this game. That narrows the job down a bit for the defense in just stopping Derrick Henry. Henry ran all over the Bills last week but I think the Chiefs will use the tape from that game to find ways on how they can avoid them and stop him. The Titan's entire offense relies on Henry and if he is stopped then they are a much weaker team and won't be able to pull off a comeback if they go down too many points. The line is not big here so I like the Chiefs to cover the spread in this one and get back to the Chiefs team we have seen the last few years. T.M. Prediction: 41-24 Chiefs. |
|||||||
10-23-21 | Ohio State -21 v. Indiana | Top | 54-7 | Win | 100 | 11 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ohio State. I like Ohio State to cover the spread against Indiana on Saturday. Ohio State looks nothing like the team that we saw lose to Oregon back in week 2. They have been hitting their stride in their last few games coming away with some big victories in their games. They have put up 50+ points in each of their last 3 games while giving up less than 20 points in all of them. Their last 2 games were against conference teams and they won each of those games by 39+ points. CJ Stroud has looked much better in their games and even threw 5 TDs in their last game against Maryland. They had their bye week last week and will be even more prepared for this game against Indiana with some extra rest on their side too. Indiana have just been getting by in their games this season but they have really started to struggle as soon as they hit conference play. They have played in 3 games against Big 10 opponents this year and have scored a total of 21 points in those games. They only put up 15 points against Michigan State in their last game and they were shut out by Penn State in their game the week before that one. They do not have a strong offense and will now have to face the best team in the Big 10 by far. I think Ohio State is going to put up a ton of points in this game while Indiana struggles to even put up points. I like Ohio State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Selection: 56-14 Ohio State. |
|||||||
10-23-21 | Nevada +3.5 v. Fresno State | 32-34 | Win | 100 | 10 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Nevada. I like Nevada to cover the spread against Fresno State on Saturday. Nevada has surprisingly impressed in their games this season and is turning out to be a much better team than everyone thought they would be at the beginning of the season. They only have 1 loss this season but they have been playing well ever since Kansas State handed them that loss. They have put up 30+ points in all of their games since then winning each of those by 10+ points. Carson Strong has been leading the passing game for them and he has been great with 9 TD passes and only 1 interception in his last 3 games. Fresno State started their season with some positives but they have started to look shaky in their games lately. They won against a very bad UNLV team but they only took that game by 8 points and they gave up 30 points in that game to a UNLV team that has struggled heavily on offense all year. Then in their next game they blow a lead to Hawaii and end up losing that game by 3. Then in their last game they finally fixed their troubles on defense with a shutout over Wyoming, but they only managed to put up 17 points in that game struggling to get anything done on offense in that game. Fresno State has been too inconsistent to trust lately and Nevada looks like they are coming for the Mountain West title. This game will be huge for both teams for that reason and I think Nevada is good enough to even win this game. I like Nevada to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 30-27 Nevada. |
|||||||
10-23-21 | Boston College v. Louisville -4.5 | 14-28 | Win | 100 | 7 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Louisville. I like Louisville to cover the spread against Boston College on Saturday. Louisville has been having a good season but they hit a snag in their last 2 games. They ended up losing both games in very tight battles, 1 being a loss to Wake Forest by a field goal and the other being a loss to Virginia by 1 point. Wake Forest is the only undefeated team left in the ACC and Virginia has a very good offense but they will be getting an easier challenge in this game. Boston College had a great start to their season going undefeated through 4 games but as soon as they ran into conference play they ran into trouble in those games. They put a good fight up against Clemson but they are not the same Clemson team that has been ranked so high in the country in years past. They got absolutely crushed in their last game though, losing that one 33-7 to NC State. I think that Boston College's luck has run out here and they will have a tough time winning games against other conference teams. Malik Cunningham and Hassan Hall will be too much for this Boston College defense to handle and I think they are just going to run away with this game. I like Louisville to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 37-24 Louisville. |
|||||||
10-23-21 | UMass v. Florida State -35.5 | 3-59 | Win | 100 | 4 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Florida State. I like Florida State to cover the spread against Massachusetts on Saturday. After Florida State's horrid start to the season when they couldn't win a game if it was handed to them on a silver platter, they have made some adjustments and are starting to look a little better in their last few games. They broke out of their funk against Syracuse just moving past them with a win by a field goal to break their winless streak this season. Then in their last game, they went on the road in North Carolina and took down the Tar Heels by 10 points who aren't that great this year but they're still a whole lot better than Massachusetts. Their QB Jordan Travis was able to be a threat in both the passing game and the running game in that one and I expect him to do the same here with a much easier challenge on his hands. Massachusetts actually won their last game before the bye week they just had but that win was against Connecticut who might just be the worst team in FBS. Florida State is slowly turning things around near the end of this season but they are a team that is definitely trending in the proper direction. I like the Seminoles to lay a beating on the Minutemen here as things continue to click for them. I like Florida State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 49-7 Florida State. |

10-20-21 | Coastal Carolina -5 v. Appalachian State | 27-30 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Coastal Carolina. I like Coastal Carolina to cover the spread against Appalachian State. Coastal Carolina is ranked number 14 in the country and they have been ripping teams open with their offense all year. They have scored 50+ points in each of their last 3 games and their last 2 games they played against another team from their conference, they won each by 30+ points. They are not only trying to win their conference this year but they are trying to climb the poll as far up as they can in a year where many of the strong favorites have been losing. App State just lost a conference game against the Ragin' Cajuns and they were decimated in that game only putting up 13 points and giving up 41. If Louisiana is scoring 41 points on this App State defense then Coastal Carolina will be putting up another 50 here. I think they are just a much stronger team and they are on a mission to prove that they are not just good because of their weaker conference and schedule. I like Coastal Carolina to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 51-24 Coastal Carolina. |
|||||||
10-17-21 | Chiefs -6.5 v. Washington Football Team | 31-13 | Win | 100 | 36 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas City Chiefs. I like the Kansas City Chiefs to cover the spread against the Washington Football Team on Sunday. The Chiefs lost to the Bills last week and can likely sense the power shifting in the AFC. They will do what they can here to stop the bleeding and it starts with a big win over a bad Washington team. Washington does not have the best offense run by their QB Taylor Heinicke. What's really alarming for them is their defense though. They were one of the best defenses in the league last season and this year they have one of the worst. The Chiefs have not been performing at their best this season but they are still putting up a lot of points in their games and will be able to do the same here. They put up 42 points on the Eagles in the week before last and at this point, the Eagles and Washington are about par with the way their defenses are running. The Chiefs will be looking for a big bounce back here now that they don't have a winning record this season and sit at the bottom of their division. I expect them to make a big turn around here so I like the Chiefs to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 35-17 Chiefs. |
|||||||
10-17-21 | Rams -8 v. Giants | Top | 38-11 | Win | 100 | 36 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Rams. I like the LA Rams to cover the spread against the New York Giants on Sunday. The Rams bounced back after their first loss of the season getting a win over the Seahawks on Thursday night. They have had some extra days of rest for this game and should be well rested for it. The Rams are looking very strong on offense this year with their new QB Matt Stafford. The Giants are not playing well on defense and the Rams will be able to score with ease in this game. Daniel Jones is expected to be back after a scary hit in his last game that caused a concussion. Even if he is back this week, it doesn't matter since all of the weapons on this team are injured. Barkley is out as well as Shepard and Golladay. They also have a few other pass catchers injured for this one. The Giants really have nothing to work with here and Jones can't do it all himself. I think the Giants have no chance here in their current situation so I love the Rams to cover the spread in this spot. T.M. Prediction: 31-10 Rams. |
|||||||
10-16-21 | Arizona State +1.5 v. Utah | 21-35 | Loss | -118 | 22 h 60 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arizona State. I like Arizona State to cover the spread and win against Utah on Saturday. Ever since losing to BYU, Arizona State has looked much better with 3 wins in a row and all of them against Pac-12 conference teams. They are ranked 18th in the country and leading their division, the Pac-12 South. Their last 3 wins have been big wins too, all of them coming by around 20 points. Utah has won their last 2 games in the conference but they weren't up against the strongest teams. They got their wins over Washington State and USC who are both turning out to be very disappointing teams with their play this year. Arizona State did get their wins against UCLA and Stanford who is surprisingly having a decent year. I think Arizona State is the better team here whether they are on the road or not. I like them to cover the spread and win this game straight up with their good offense that we have seen lately in their games. T.M. Prediction: 38-24 Arizona State. |
|||||||
10-16-21 | Alabama -17 v. Mississippi State | Top | 49-9 | Win | 100 | 19 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Alabama. I like Alabama to cover the spread against Mississippi State on Saturday. Alabama got knocked off by Texas A&M last week and is now faced with 1 loss this year and dropped to 5th ranked in the country. That was a massive upset and now Alabama is sitting outside of the college football playoffs if they were happening this week. They will be eager to get their rank back and that starts with running the table and blowing out the other teams while they are at it. It has been a very weird year for college football so there is still a chance for them but they need to show that they look good on both offense and defense and that starts in this game. They will need to get a blowout win here to help make their case. Mississippi State is just a mediocre team that usually plays in close games where their offense matches the team they are playing. I think Alabama will be able to take care of them with ease, Nick Saban will have his team geared up and ready to bounce back. I like Alabama to cover the spread here in a must blowout win game for them. T.M. Prediction: 45-14 Alabama. |

10-16-21 | Purdue v. Iowa -11 | 24-7 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Iowa. I like Iowa to cover the spread against Purdue on Saturday. Iowa has been having a very good season this year. They are ranked 2nd in the country after taking down Penn State last week and they really had to dig in their heels and make a strong comeback in that game. Their defense showed up when they needed to in that Penn State game and their defense has really been performing at a high level all year. They have always been known for their good defense but now their offense is starting to catch up too. They only put up 23 on a good Penn State with a good defense too but in the game before that one they thrashed Maryland 51-14. Purdue does not have a very strong offense at all and they will be lucky if they can get through this Iowa defense. Purdue has put up 13 points in each of their last 3 games, nothing more and nothing less. Iowa has already proven that they can stop a team like Purdue from scoring and put up a ton of points on them. I think that Iowa is going to blow them out here, especially now that they are ranked 2nd they will want to do anything they can to keep their rank. I like Iowa to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 37-10 Iowa. |

10-15-21 | California +13.5 v. Oregon | 17-24 | Win | 100 | 20 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: California. I like California to cover the spread against Oregon on Friday. California has now lost 2 bad games in a row in their conference play. Washington stole the game from them in OT and then they suffered a devastating blow with a 21-6 loss at home against Washington State. They had a bye week last week and have had some time to regroup and rethink their approach to these games. I think they will be eager to get a win here against a reeling Oregon team who lost their 3rd place rank in the country after a loss to Stanford in their last game. Oregon also had a bye week and will be rested for this game but I think Cal is going to take it to them in this game and keep it close knowing that Oregon's confidence is down. Cal has their back against the wall here and need to make something happen here or their hopes to win the conference will be over. I think they will make this a close game with Oregon giving them another scare. I like Cal to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-24 Oregon. |
|||||||
10-15-21 | Marshall -11 v. North Texas | 49-21 | Win | 100 | 16 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Marshall. I like Marshall to cover the spread against North Texas on Friday. Marshall can move the ball well on offense and has been putting up 20+ points in all of their games. They put up 20 in their last game but that was their lowest scoring game all year. Their defense played much better in that game only giving up 13 points. North Texas has had a problem on offense all year not putting up a lot of points in their games. They put up 35 points in their last game but that was the 1st game they had put up 20+ points this year when playing an FBS team. Their defense has not been good either this year as they have given up 30+ points in every game except 1 when playing an FBS team. North Texas is not a very good team this year and I think Marshall is going to be able to score a lot here while holding them to less than 20 points. I like Marshall to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 42-17 Marshall. |

10-12-21 | Appalachian State -5 v. UL-Lafayette | 13-41 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Appalachian State. I like Appalachian State to cover the spread against Louisiana-Lafayette on Tuesday. App State looked a lot better in their last game after a close 1 point win against Marshall in the week before. They are a 5 point favorite here and have won 3/4 games by that number clearing that spread. They beat Georgia State by 29 points and then had a bye week so they are rested and refreshed with the last 2 weeks off. Their passing game was great in that win over the Panthers. The Ragin' Cajuns have won 4 games in a row but this will be the toughest team they have faced this year, other than Texas and they lost that game by 20 points. They also had their bye week last week but it will not mean much as App State is just a much better team. The Ragin' Cajuns won their last game but they did not really pass the ball a lot or even run it that much. App State has a much stronger offense and the potential to run away with this game if they keep pulling away during the game. I like App State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 35-20 App State. |

10-11-21 | Colts v. Ravens -7 | 25-31 | Loss | -103 | 102 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Baltimore Ravens. I like the Baltimore Ravens to cover the spread against the Indianapolis Colts on Monday. The Ravens finally showed up on defense in their last game holding the Broncos to just 7 points in that game. They played well in the game before that one as well holding the Lions to just 17 points in that game. The Colts got their 1st win of the season last week against a bad Miami team but they were struggling to put up more than 20 points in their games before that. Carson Wentz is still a Wild Card as he will show up in some games and in others is nowhere to be found. He is also very injury prone so 1 bad hit and he could easily be taken out of the game. The Ravens are a more consistent team with a good defense and an even better QB in Lamar Jackson. He will find ways to put up points with his offense and I think that their defense will shut down the Colts here. I like the Ravens to cover the spread in this game on Monday night. T.M. Prediction: 27-13 Ravens. |

10-10-21 | 49ers v. Cardinals -5 | Top | 10-17 | Win | 103 | 74 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Arizona Cardinals. I like the Arizona Cardinals to cover the spread against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. The Cardinals are the only undefeated team left in the NFL and I think that it is going to stay that way after this week. The Cardinals have looked really good in all of their games. They have only played in 1 close game this year, winning by 1 point over the Vikings, all of their other wins were by 10+ points. Kyler Murray is really guiding this offense to victory with his amazing play and his ability to keep any broken play alive when he scrambles. The 49ers are in trouble after losing their last 2 games, including 1 against division rival Seattle. They need a win here and are so desperate that they have decided to start rookie QB Trey Lance in this game. Lance may be a great QB but he will need time to adjust to the NFL while Kingsbury and Murray have been doing it for years now and all that hard work is finally starting to show for it. The Cardinals took down the team to beat in their division last week when they beat up on the Rams by 17 points. They will not be stopped by this 49ers team so I like the Cardinals to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-20 Cardinals. |

10-10-21 | Lions +9.5 v. Vikings | 17-19 | Win | 100 | 70 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Detroit Lions. I like the Detroit Lions to cover the spread against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. The Lions have looked good and have stayed competitive in their games this season in the 1st half, then it all falls apart in the 2nd half. Last week they had a chance to beat the Bears as they made it to the redzone multiple times but had nothing to show for it due to stupid mistakes like a fumbled snap that cost them points on 1 drive. They have had their moments though where they have not looked like a bad team so I expect them to iron out a few more details in practice and play much better in this game. The Vikings have not been having a great year either as they have been struggling in all of their games. They have had 3 close losses and 1 win where they were dominated in the 1st half but turned it around in the 2nd half. This game will feature 2 teams that are struggling to get wins and both will be clawing and scratching for this win here in such an important division game for both. The spread is way too big in this game as the Vikings have not shown that they are able to blow teams out this year. This will be a much closer game as both teams grind it out so I like the Lions to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 27-23 Vikings. |

10-09-21 | Memphis +3.5 v. Tulsa | Top | 29-35 | Loss | -115 | 54 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Memphis. I like Memphis to cover the spread against Tulsa on Saturday. Memphis has played close games all year leading up to this one. Their largest win against an FBS team this season was by 5 points against Arkansas State. Their largest loss this year was by 3 points in their last 2 games by UTSA and Temple. Tulsa has been struggling in their games all year and is pretty much the worst team in this conference this season. They lost by 35 points to Houston in their last game and they also have a loss against an FCS team this year on their record. Memphis does not have the best defense but they make up for it with their very good offense. They have been putting up a ton of points in every game this season and have only played 1 game where they didn't put up 30+ points, and they still had 28 points in that one. Memphis has a good enough offense to keep up in this game and even go on to win it. I like Memphis to cover the spread and even win in this game. T.M. Prediction: 41-30 Memphis. |

10-09-21 | Oregon State v. Washington State +4 | 24-31 | Win | 100 | 49 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington State. I like Washington State to cover the spread against Oregon State on Saturday. Washington State has not been playing well to start their season this year but they are starting to look better each week. They put up a good fight against Utah before letting it slip away from them in the 4th quarter of that game. They then followed that performance up with a win against another conference team, Cal. Oregon State has won 4 games in a row but they did not look too good in their last game. They struggled to win against Washington just slipping by that game by 3 points. Their passing game was completely shut down in that game, Chance Nolan only had 48 yards passing. I think the little run that Oregon State had is over now and I expect Washington State to keep getting better as the season goes on. I think both teams are trending in opposite directions here so I like Oregon State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Washington State. |

10-09-21 | Maryland v. Ohio State -20.5 | 17-66 | Win | 100 | 45 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ohio State. I like Ohio State to cover the spread against Maryland on Saturday. Ohio State has looked much better in their last 3 games and have been putting up a ton of points on offense. They put up 59 points in each of their last 2 games, including a blowout win on the road against Rutgers. Maryland has been looking shaky in their games lately. They played well against Kent State but they struggled to beat a bad Illinois side and they were also blown out at home by Iowa last week. They will be on the road for this game which makes their challenge in this game all that more difficult. I expect Maryland to struggle here as Ohio State starts finding their groove again and starts playing like the team we have known them to be for the last few years. I like Ohio State to cover the spread and make a statement in this game. T.M. Prediction: 52-20 Ohio State. |

10-09-21 | Arkansas v. Ole Miss -5 | 51-52 | Loss | -110 | 45 h 26 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ole Miss. I like Ole Miss to cover the spread against Arkansas on Saturday. Ole Miss had their 3 game win streak ended by Alabama last week. They lost that game by 20 points but they still managed to score 21 points themselves in that game. Before that game, they had scored 40+ points in all of their games. They have a really good offense this year and have been playing much better as a team this season. Arkansas also had their win streak ended by Georgia but they failed to put up a single point on Georgia's defense. That was also their first road game of the season and they now have their 2nd one in a row here. Arkansas has a good team but I think their good play has been masked a bit by their home advantage and their lesser opponents this season. When faced with a real challenge last week, they folded like a cheap tent. Ole Miss actually put up a fight against Alabama and showed that they will try to hang with the big boys. I think Ole Miss is just the better team here so I like them to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 41-27 Ole Miss. |

10-08-21 | Stanford +13 v. Arizona State | 10-28 | Loss | -109 | 58 h 26 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Stanford. I like Stanford to cover the spread against Arizona State on Friday. Stanford is coming off a big win against their conference rival Oregon, knocking them out of their 3rd place rank with that win. That was not their first upset win in the conference on the road this year though. They also came up with a big win over USC earlier on the road. They have actually played worse at home losing to UCLA by 11 points. Arizona State also got an upset win in their last game in the conference on the road against UCLA by almost 20 points. They are favored by 11 points in this game though and I think that it is going to be a much closer game than that. Stanford has been playing very well all year and they even have a chance to win this game so the spread should be much closer than it is right now. I like Stanford to cover that spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-27 Arizona State. |

10-07-21 | Houston -6 v. Tulane | 40-22 | Win | 100 | 31 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Houston. I like Houston to cover the spread against Tulane on Thursday. Houston has been looking good in their games lately putting up 40+ points in 3/4 games from their last 4. They beat Navy by a slim margin but won by a lot against their other 3 opponents in their last 4. They beat Tulsa by 35 in their last game on the road and I think they are going to do the same to Tulane here. Tulane is having a bad year and they are just as bad as Tulsa from a talent perspective. They have lost their last 3 in a row by more than a TD and 2 of those games were 20+ point losses. Houston has been rolling on offense and they are going to put a hurt on Tulane's defense in this game. They will not be able to score many points here either so I like Houston to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 41-23 Houston. |

10-03-21 | Ravens v. Broncos | Top | 23-7 | Win | 100 | 40 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Baltimore Ravens. I like the Baltimore Ravens to cover the spread against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. The Ravens have responded well after getting upset in Vegas back in week 1. They won their next 2 games and even knocked off the big bad Kansas City Chiefs in the process. They have also played much better teams than the Broncos have this year. The Ravens are 2-1 after beating Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, and beating the Lions with Jared Goff. Their 1 loss also came to the Raiders who are undefeated. The Broncos are an undefeated 3-0 but they have beaten the Giants, the Jags, and the Jets who all have a combined record of 0-10 this year. The Ravens have a lot of tricks up their sleeve with Lamar Jackson and they will be able to find holes in the Denver defense. The Broncos are a good team but they haven't proven themselves yet and until they do I will be on the Ravens to get the win and cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 27-17 Ravens. |
