6* NBA Eastern Conference *CA$H COW* on Philadelphia 76ers -4.5
The Key: The Philadelphia 76ers are 4-1 SU & 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall. They still aren't getting any love, and I like this -4.5 price we are getting with them at home here against the Indiana Pacers. The Pacers have been a great covering team too, but I think they are the frauds while the 76ers are the real deal. And if the Pacers were going to have a letdown, it would be in this game because they are coming off a 124-107 win over Lebron James and the Cavaliers in Cleveland. The 76ers are 14-2 ATS after having won 3 of their last 4 games over the last 2 seasons. The 76ers are 40-19 ATS in their last 59 games overall. Take Philadelphia.

7* Bills/Jets AFC East *HEAVY HITTER* on New York +3.5
The Key: I like backing underdogs with divisional revenge in mind. The Jets lost to the Bills 21-12 on the road back in Week 1 in their first meeting. But this has been a much better Jets team since then. The Jets are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall while going 3-3 straight up and their 3 losses coming to the Pats by 7, Falcons by 5 and Dolphins by 3. So they have been competitive in every game with a chance to win late. And getting 3.5 points here is a nice value as this game could easily be decided by a field goal. The Jets are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games and 7-0 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. They are also 19-6 ATS in their last 25 home games off a home loss. Give me New York.

6* Navy/Temple AAC *CA$H COW* on Temple +7.5
The Key: I think the situation really favors the Temple Owls here. Temple just faced a triple-option team in Army last time out, giving up a late touchdown and losing 28-31 in OT on the road. So they were well-versed in the option right now and had their bye last week to get even more ready for it. The Owls have played much better of late and should be 3-0 in their last 3 games instead of 1-2, which is keeping them undervalued. Temple outgained ECU by 236 yards in a 34-10 road win, outginaed UConn by 225 yards in a 24-28 home loss, and then outgained Army by 117 yards in that overtime defeat. Navy has been outgained in 3 straight games. I think this Midshipmen team is much more vulnerable than most years. They are 5-2, but 4 of those wins came by 10 points or less, so they haven't been blowing teams out. Temple is 8-1 ATS as a dog of 3.5 to 10 points over the last 3 seasons. The Owls are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 vs. a team with a winning record. Take Temple.

He has been much better than Lance McCullers, who sports a 7.08 ERA in his last 10 starts. The Dodgers have the advantage on the starting mound and in the bullpen in this one. Take Los Angeles.

6* Astros/Dodgers Game 6 *Total* Annihilator on OVER 7.5
The Key: After both starting pitchers and bullpens were pushed to the max in the wild 13-12 Game 5, I can only look to the OVER in Game 6 tonight. Rich Hill isn't going to go deep in this game as he never does, pitching just 4, 5 and 4 innings in his last 3 starts and averaging just 5.3 innings per start this season. Justin Verlander gave up 2 homers against the Dodgers in Game 2 and doesn't like the way the baseball are basically juiced, and he has voiced his frustration on the topic. The Astros are scoring 5.9 runs per game on the road and the Dodgers are scoring 5.0 runs per game at home. The OVER is 4-1 in Verlander's last 5 starts. The OVER is 6-1 in Astros last 7 road games vs. a left-handed starter. The OVER is 5-1 in Hill's last 6 home starts vs. a team with a winning record. Take the OVER.

7* Miami/Ohio MAC *HEAVY HITTER* on Miami +10
The Key: The Miami Ohio Redhawks were expected to contend for a MAC title this year after going 6-0 over their final 6 regular season games last year. They brought back 17 starts from that team. So their 3-5 start comes as a bit of a surprise, and it has them getting zero respect from the books right now. Conversely, Ohio is coming off back-to-back blowout wins over Bowling Green and Kent State and getting a lot of love. But this is a team that lost to Central Michigan 23-26 at home prior to those two wins against MAC bottom feeders. A big reason for the Redhawks' struggles is that they have been without starting QB Gus Ragland, who is a game-time decision tonight and may return since they had extra time before this game after last playing on November 21st. The Redhawks still have a shot at a bowl game and will be fighting tooth and nail to get back to one. The Bobcats are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. The Redhawks are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 road games. Take Miami Ohio.

6* Steelers/Lions Sunday Night *BAILOUT* on Pittsburgh -3
The Key: The Detroit Lions are coming off a bye, which is keeping this line shorter than it should be. But they have some key injuries still that the are dealing with along the offensive line and at receiver. And I think that they are still overvalued due to their 3-1 start, but we've seen their true colors show in their last two games with a 24-27 home loss to the Panthers and a 38-52 road loss to the Saints. But those games were bigger blowouts than the final scores as the Lions made late runs in both. They trailed the Panthers 27-10 and the Saints 45-10. The Steelers look like perhaps the best team in the NFL right now with their 19-13 road win over the Chiefs and their 29-14 home win over the Bengals. They have one of the league's top defenses, and Le'Veon Bell cannot be stopped. The Steelers are 9-1 ATS after going over the total in their previous game over the last 3 seasons. Take Pittsburgh.

7* NFC Game of the Year on San Francisco 49ers +13
The Key: The Philadelphia Eagles are getting too much respect from oddsmakers now after their 6-1 start to the season. It's time to fade away in this flat spot for them off their big win over the Redskins on Monday Night football, which makes it a short week for them as well. It's also time to back the 49ers off their 30-point loss to the Cowboys as the public perception of them is way down right now. But they had lost 5 straight games by 3 points or fewer prior to that blowout defeat, so they are clearly capable of being competitive. Bets on dogs is 10.5 or more points off a loss y 14 points or more against an opponent who scored 30 or more points last game are 26-4 ATS over the last 10 seasons. Take San Francisco.

And the Bills have given up over 700 passing yards combined in their last 2 games due to all of their injuries in the secondary. The Bills will be able to move the ball at will on this weak Raiders defense as well. The OVER is 13-3 in Bills last 16 home games. The OVER is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings.

6* Mississippi State/Texas A&M SEC *CA$H COW* on Texas A&M +2.5
The Key: Wrong team favored here. Texas A&M is coming off its bye week and will be ready for Mississippi State both from preparation and rest standpoints. The Aggies played Alabama tougher than anyone this season, only losing 19-27 as 25-point home dogs. Maybe even more impressive was the fact that they didn't have a letdown the next week and beat Florida 19-17 on the road. Mississippi State's last two road games have resulted in 3-31 and 10-49 blowout losses at Georgia and Auburn, respectively. College Station is still one of the tougher places to play in college football. Texas A&M was favored by 10 at Mississippi State last year and lost outright 28-35. So it's a revenge game, and now they are dogs at home this time around AND off a bye. The price is too good to pass up. Take Texas A&M.

Western Kentucky has been getting too much respect in the betting markets all season with a 1-5-1 ATS record.

Both teams will be tight for this game. And there's no question that these are the two best defenses that these teams have faced all season. Penn State is allowing 9.6 PPG and 283 YPG and 4.0 YPP.

Yu Darvish has been unhittable, going 4-0 with a 0.88 ERA in his last 5 starts while allowing just 3 earned runs in 30 2/3 innings. I trust the Dodgers' bullpen over the Astros' suspect unit more when it gets to that point and the Dodgers have a lead. The Astros have gone just 1-8 in Lance McCullers' last 9 starts. He should not be favored over Darvish in this matchup. Take Los Angeles.

They have played one of the toughest schedules in the country which is why they are 2-4. And if they are going to make a bowl game, they need this win over Boston College. This is a prideful program and Jimbo Fisher does not want the bowl streak to come to an end. Look for the Seminoles to handle their business tonight.

6* NBA Non-Conference *CA$H COW* on Denver Nuggets -7
The Key: The Denver Nuggets have been one of the biggest disappointments in the NBA thus far with their 1-3 start. They are loaded with talent and are better than they've shown. Now they have a chance to get right against arguably the worst team in the NBA in the Atlanta Hawks, who just lost last night 86-91 in Chicago and will be playing the 2nd of a back-to-back and their 4th game in 6 days. The Hawks were without Dennis Schroeder and Ersan Ilyasova last night and both are questionable again tonight. Given the line, I'm assuming Shchroeder is out, and the Hawks really have nothing without him. He is far and away their best player. The Nuggets are 12-2 ATS in road games after failing to cover 3 of their last 4 against the spread over the last 3 seasons. The Nuggets are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. The Nuggets are 17-6 ATS in their last 23 games following a loss. The Hawks are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Take Denver.

Well, that was until the 4th quarter last week when Matt Moore replaced an injured Jay Cutler and led the Dolphins to 17 points in the final period to beat the Jets 31-28. Now Moore gets the nod again, and the offense will open up with him at the helm. The Dolphins already have one of the best defenses in the NFL, and they'll be up against one of the worst offenses in the Ravens. The cluster injuries for the Ravens right now just aren't going to allow them to be competitive moving forward. Take Miami.

Now they'll be hungry for their first victory, and they have an excellent chance to get it against the only team in the NBA that may be worse than them in the 1-3 Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks are going to be without their best player in Dennis Shroder, who is listed as doubtful. And Ersan Ilyasova is questionable and may be their second-best player. Bets against dogs (Atlanta) average team from last season that won between 45-55% of their games, after 2 or more consecutive losses are 24-7 ATS over the last 5 seasons. Take Chicago.

They will also be out to avenge a 31-24 home loss to NIU last year after they blew a 21-0 halftime lead. We'll get a big effort from the Eagles in this game. The Eagles are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 road games, and 7-0 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The road team is 12-3-1 ATS in the last 16 meetings.

They will demand defense from the likes of Andrew Wiggins and Karl Anthony-Towns. Indiana will be missing its best player in Myles Turner, who opens up their offense with his ability to stretch the floor. They will also be without floor stretcher Glenn Robinson III tonight. I just don't see how the Pacers contribute enough points in this game to push this game over this 219.5-point total.

I think Wentz has a big game against a Redskins defense that will be missing Josh Norman and Jonathan Allen, and possibly another corner in Breeland. The Eagles beat the Redskins already 30-17 on the road and outgained them 356 to 254 in that game. Now they are only laying 5 at home in the rematch. I think they win by a TD or more with ease.

And we haven't seen a total lower than 44.5 in a Bengals vs. Steelers game in any of the last 8 meetings. This total of 40.5 is simply too low. The Bengals have been improving offensively since making the coordinator change, and the Steelers aren't going to be held back offensively like they have up to this point.

They should have a great chance of getting revenge here considering they are relatively healthy, while the Broncos are dealing with several injuries. The top 2 receivers are hurt in Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders, with Sanders out Sunday. Trevor Siemian is playing despite a bum shoulder, and he will be missing his starting offensive tackle and his backup tackle.

The Broncos took them lightly and had a ton of injuries in that game that led to the result. But the Giants weren't the better team. They got all the breaks, including a defensive touchdown, and they were actually outgained by 146 yards by the Broncos. Now they have to face a rested Seahawks team coming off their bye, and I think the Giants' deficiencies will really show this week.

6* Colorado/WSU Pac-12 *BAILOUT* on OVER 52
The Key: This total has been set too low tonight because Washington State has gone under the total in 4 straight games coming in. That includes their 3-37 loss at Cal last week. But they gave that game away by committing 7 turnovers as their offense just couldn't punch it in, turning it over 7 times in 13 drives, which is tough to do. Look for a much more efficient showing from an offense that had scored at least 31 points in 5 straight games to start the season. And Colorado will chip in its fair share with an offense that has scored at least 36 points in 4 of 7 games this year. But the Buffaloes have taken a big step back defensively this season, giving up 35.5 points per game in conference play this season. Colorado is 20-4 OVER in its last 24 road games after 2 consecutive game where they committed 1 or less turnovers. These teams combined for 62 points last year in a 38-24 Colorado victory. Expect a similar final score here in Washington State's favor. Take the OVER.

6* Fresno/SDSU Mountain West *BAILOUT* on Fresno State +7.5
The Key: The Fresno State Bulldogs have gone 6-0 against the spread this season. They have only lost to Alabama and Washington, two of the best teams in the land. There's a good reason this line has dropped from +10.5 down to +7.5, but I still think there's plenty of value on backing the Bulldogs here in a game they can win outright. San Diego State players were quoted as saying that they had the goal of going undefeated coming into the season. But that goal was ended last week with a 14-31 home loss to Boise State. It's the type of dream-crushing loss that is tough to recover from the next week. I expect SDSU to be flat in this game here. The Bulldogs are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 14 games overall. The Bulldogs are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 vs. teams with winning records. Take Fresno State.

6* Saturday NBA *Total* Annihilator on Magic/Cavs UNDER 215.5
The Key: Both the Cavs and Magic will be missing their starting point guards in this game. Elfrid Payton is doubtful for Orlando, while Derrick Rose is doubtful for Cleveland. Without their point guards, I expect both offenses to struggle more than normal here. So we'll take a shot with the UNDER 215.5. Both teams will be fatigued after playing last night as well, so the pace of this game should be slow. Take the UNDER.

Sabathia has gone 1-0 with a 2.30 ERA in 3 postseason starts as well. He pitched 6 scoreless innings against Houston in Game 3 to improve to 3-1 with a 3.25 ERA in 4 lifetime starts vs. Houston. Charlie Morton is 1-2 with an 8.26 ERA in 3 lifetime starts vs. New York. He has allowed 11 earned runs in 9 1/3 innings against the Yankees in two starts against them this season.

6* WVU/Baylor Big 12 *CA$H COW* on West Virginia -9
The Key: If Baylor was going to show improvement, it would have been last week when they were coming off their bye week, giving Matt Rhule two weeks to tweak some things. But they fell flat on their faces once again to drop to 0-6 on the season. They lost 16-59 at Oklahoma State, giving up 747 total yards to the Cowboys. Now they have to face one of the best offenses in the country in West Virginia this week. This number is short because WVU can name its number Saturday. The Mountaineers are scoring 44.2 points per game and averaging 548 total yards per game despite playing a pretty difficult schedule against the likes of VA Tech, TCU and Texas Tech thus far. Baylor is only 4-13 ATS in its last 17 games as a home dog of 7.5 to 14 points. WVU is 12-2 ATS in its last 12 road games when playing a team that is winning 25% or less of its games.

6* WMU/EMU MAC *CA$H COW* on Eastern Michigan +3
The Key: I faded Western Michigan last week by backing Akron as my MAC Game of the Year, and the Zips delivered an outright 14-13 win as 13-point dogs. And that game was played on Sunday due to getting postponed for weather on Saturday. That means Western Michigan is working on a short week. The Broncos just aren't anywhere near as good as they were last year with PJ Fleck, Zach Terrell and Corey Davis, but they are still getting treated like that team by oddsmakers. Eastern Michigan went to a bowl last year and basically returned everyone. But they have lost 4 straight games by 7, 4, 5 and 1 point drop to 2-4 on the season. That 2-4 record has them getting no love from oddsmakers despite the fact that they've gone 5-1 against the spread. Now they take out their frustration on the vulnerable Broncos today. The Eagles are 9-0 ATS in their last 9 vs. a team with a winning record. Take Eastern Michigan.

They Chiefs are vulnerable right now as this is a tough scheduling spot. They played on Monday night two weeks ago, and now have to play on Thursday night. That means they will be playing their 3rd game in 11 days, which is as tough a spot as it gets in the NFL. The Chiefs have allowed at least 100 rushing yards in all 6 games this year. Look for a heavy dose of Marshawn Lynch from the Raiders here, which will be the key to victory for them. Take Oakland.

Nothing would spell sweet revenge quite like a sweep of the Chicago Cubs, the team that knocked them out of the playoffs last year. I don't expect much fight from the Cubs here after falling down 3-0 in the series. They have scored just 4 combined runs in this series and haven't even come close to touching the Dodgers' bullpen. Alex Wood is 7-1 with a 2.24 ERA in 13 road starts this year. Wood has allowed just 1 earned run in 8 2/3 innings in 2 starts against the Cubs this season. Jake Arrieta has allowed 8 earned runs in 11 innings while losing each of his last 2 starts against the Dodgers. Take Los Angeles.

I like the Cubs to take Game 3 tonight to get back in this series with the Dodgers after losing the first two games in Los Angeles. The Cubs will be giving the ball to their best starter in Kyle Hendricks. He is 8-5 with a 3.05 ERA in 26 starts this year, including 2-0 with a 1.82 ERA in his last 5 starts while yielding just 6 earned runs in 29 2/3 innings.

But an asterisk has to get put on those losses because Marcus Mariota got hurt against the Texans two weeks ago, and he didn't play against Miami last week. Now Mariota makes his return and will lead the Titans to a blowout victory over the hapless Colts. The only two wins for the Colts this season came at home against the 0-6 Cleveland Browns and the 0-6 San Francisco 49ers by a combined 6 points. In their 2 road games this year, the Colts lost 9-46 to the Rams and 18-46 to the Seahawks. Adding to the Titans' hunger here is the fact that they have lost 11 straight meetings with the Colts, but most of those were with Andrew Luck at QB. Take Tennessee.

7* NFC Game of the Month on Tampa Bay Bucs -1.5
The Key: Teams coming off Thursday NFL games are a perfect 8-0 against the spread this season. The Bucs have had extra time to prepare now after losing 14-19 at home to the Patriots last Thursday in a game they easily could have won. They get some key players back from injury on defense in Lavonte David and TJ Ward. Now they get to face an Arizona Cardinals team that is coming off a 7-34 loss at Philadelphia and could easily be 0-5 this year if not for overtime wins against the Colts and 49ers. The Cardinals have mass offensive line injuries right now and can't keep Carson Palmer upright. Trading for Adrian Peterson won't solve their problems in the immediate future, and I think they're being overvalued because of that trade. The Cardinals are 6-18 ATS in their last 24 games overall. Take Tampa Bay.

6* Sunday NFL *UPSET SPECIAL* on Los Angeles Rams +2.5
The Key: The Los Angeles Rams are the better team in this matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Rams have put up legit numbers this season outgaining teams by 40 yards per game and 0.6 yards per play. The Jaguars haven't as they are dead even in yardage differential and dead even in yards per play. The Jaguars have been one of the most lucky teams in the NFL to force 15 turnovers and score an insane amount of points off those turnovers. They are +11 in turnover differential this season, which is the only reason they are 3-2. I don't like backing teams that must win the turnover battle to win the game, which is almost always the case for the Jaguars because they aren't very good, especially on offense. West Coast teams traveling East is usually a tough spot for them, but not here because this is a 4:05 EST start time. Take Los Angeles.

I'm just not sure what they have left in the tank now, and not only do they have to win, but they have to win by 2 touchdowns to cover the spread against a game Akron team. This is an Akron team that has been competitive in every game outside of its Power 5 opponents in Penn State and Iowa State. But WMU didn't fare well in its two Power 5 games either against USC and Michigan State. I really think this game will be closer than the oddsmakers expect. The Zips are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning record. Take Akron.

The Lions haven't been as good as their 3-2 record statistically as they have benefited from a +8 turnover differential. But the Lions have key injuries on their offensive line and on defense, and Matthew Stafford is starting to feel the effects of being sacked 12 times over the last 2 weeks. He is hobbled coming into this one and won't be 100%. The Saints are 8-0 ATS vs. good offensive teams - scoring 24 or more points/game over the last 3 seasons. Take New Orleans.

The Key: The situation couldn't be better for Georgia Tech here. The Yellow Jackets are coming off their bye week. They should be 4-0 but they lost 41-42 to Tennessee despite outgaining them by 300 yards. They have outgained their 4 opponents by a combined 877 yards this season, or by an average of 219 yards per game. TaQuon Marshall may be the best QB in Georgia Tech history when it's all said and done. He has rushed for 523 yards and 9 scores, while averaging 10.1 yards per attempt passing and 4 touchdowns with 0 interceptions. Miami is primed for a letdown following a huge last-second 24-20 win at Florida State to end its losing streak to the Seminoles. Not to mention the Hurricanes lost their two best playmakers in that game in RB Mark Walton and WR Ahmmon Richards. Walton is out for the season, while Richards is questionable with a hamstring injury. Paul Johnson is 6-0 ATS in road games off 4 or more consecutive ATS wins as the coach of Georgia Tech. Mark Richt is 2-14 ATS in home games when playing against a team with a 75% or better win percentage in all games as a head coach. Take Georgia Tech.

They are scoring 32 points per game and averaging 467 yards per game this season. And they've played some great teams in LSU and NC State. Their defense leaves a lot to be desired, so a Clemson offense that is averaging 35 points and 471 yards per game should have its way. The Tigers hung 54 points on the Orange last year. But the Orange lost starting QB Eric Dungey in the first quarter of that game. Dungey is back healthy this season and playing very well.

The Key: The Philadelphia Eagles are going to be without two key pieces on offense. Running back Wendell Smallwood and tackle Lane Johnson are both out. You wouldn't think a tackle would make that much of a difference, but in Johnson's case it has. Carson Wentz is 9-2 in games that Johnson plays, and 2-8 in games that he does not. He has thrown 20 touchdowns and 5 interceptions with Johnson, and 6 touchdowns compared to 12 interceptions without him. I love the way the Panthers are playing right now with back-to-back huge road wins over the Patriots and Lions. Cam Newton finally looks fully healthy, and he has found some new favorite targets in Devin Funchess and Ed Dickson. Funchess has 3 TD receptions in his last 2 games, and Dickson had 175 receiving yards against the Lions. Ron Rivera is 32-13 ATS off a road game as the coach of Carolina.

Texas State is once again one of the worst teams in college football this season. The Bobcats are 1-5 this season. They have lost by 30, 35 and 18 points in their last 3 games coming in. Their offense has been terrible in averaging just 14.5 points per game. Their defense hasn't been any better, giving up 33.7 points per game. Bets on home favorites of 10.5 to 21 points with a winning percentage between 40-49% on the season, in conference games are 37-13 ATS over the last 10 seasons. Take Lafayette.

6* South Alabama/Troy Sun Belt *CA$H COW* on OVER 49
The Key: I think the price is right to pull the trigger on the OVER in this game Wednesday. The value is there because of the fact that South Alabama and Troy have combined to go 9-1 to the under in their 10 games thus far. Now this is the lowest total of any game that they have played outside the 48.5-point total in the Troy/LSU game. The other nine have all been higher than 50 points. South Alabama is 6-0 OVER when playing against a team with a winning record over the last 3 seasons. The OVER is 20-9 in Trojans last 29 home games, and 4-1 in Jaguars last 5 road games. Take the OVER.

6* Nationals/Cubs National League *CA$H COW* on Washington -110
The Key: Max Scherzer is arguably the best starter in baseball. Having him for Game 3 here is huge for the Nationals because the winner of this game will likely win the series. I think Scherzer gets it done against the inexperienced Jose Quintana, who is making his postseason debut. Scherzer is 10-2 with a 1.82 ERA in 16 road starts this year. Quintana is 6-4 with a 4.94 ERA in 16 home starts. Scherzer is 3-1 with a 2.92 ERA in 6 lifetime starts vs. Chicago. Scherzer is 21-4 (+14.7 Units) against the money line in road games vs. an NL team with a team batting average of .255 or worse over the last 3 seasons.

7* NFL Sunday Night Game of the Year on Houston Texans +1
The Key: Deshaun Watson is 2-1 as the starting quarterback of the Texans. They could be 3-0 as their only loss came on the road at New England 33-36 as the Patriots scored a touchdown in the closing seconds to win. The Texans bounced back with the most impressive performance of Week 4, winning 57-14 at home against the Texans. Watson accounted for 5 total touchdowns, and the defense held the Titans to just 195 total yards while forcing 5 turnovers. Now the Texans still get no love from the books as home dogs here to the Chiefs. It's because the Chiefs are overvalued right now due to their 4-0 SU & 4-0 ATS start, which included their miracle cover on Monday Night Football against the Redskins. Now the Chiefs are on a short week and playing their 2nd straight National TV game. The spot favors the Texans here. Kansas City is 0-7 ATS in its last 7 games after gaining 6 or more yards per play in 4 consecutive games. Take Houston.

6* Sunday NFL *UPSET SPECIAL* on Cleveland Browns +1
The Key: The Jets, Colts and Browns are the 3 worst teams in the NFL and it's very close between all 3 power-ratings wise. The Browns were favored at Indianapolis in Week 3, and now they're home underdogs to the Jets in Week 5. The Jets were 6.5-point home dogs to the Dolphins, and 3.5-point home dogs to the Jaguars. Now they're favored on the road here after winning those 2 games. Those games were terrible travel spots for the Dolphins and Jaguars. The Dolphins were on the road for 5 straight weeks since the preseason and were coming back from a West Coast trip to San Diego. The Jaguars were coming back from London. The line value is clearly with the home dog Browns here. They'll be desperate to get their first win, and I think they get it done. The Jets are 3-12 ATS in their last 15 following 2 consecutive home wins. New York is 5-20 ATS in its last 25 after gaining 6.25 or more yards per play in its previous game. Bets on any team with a poor offensive (14-18 PPG) against a poor defensive team (23-27 PPG), after a loss by 21 or more points are 23-5 ATS over the last 10 seasons. Take Cleveland.

6* NFL Blowout Game of the Week on Cincinnati Bengals -3
The Key: The Cincinnati Bengals are just 1-3 on the season, while the Buffalo Bills are 3-1. So the Bengals are undervalued right now, while the Bills are getting more love than they should be. The Bengals have played well the last two weeks against the Packers and Browns, and the switch to offensive coordinator Bill Lazor has made a huge difference. Andy Dalton has completed 81% of his passes the last 2 weeks and has thrown 6 touchdowns against zero interceptions. The Bills were fortunate to beat the Falcons last week because Atlanta lost its top 2 receivers in Julio Jones and Mohamed Sanu, and they got a fluke defensive TD that should have been called an incomplete pass instead of a fumble by Matt Ryan. The true colors of these two teams will show this week as the Bengals are a playoff contender, while the Bills are frauds. And the Bengals have a bye next week so they want to go into it feeling good about the outlook of the rest of the season. Bets on all teams where the line is +3 to -3 after 4 consecutive games where they forced 1 or fewer turnovers against opponent after a game where they committed no turnovers are 36-13 ATS since 1983. Take Cincinnati.

6* DBacks/Dodgers NL West *BAILOUT* on OVER 8
The Key: I cashed in the OVER 7 yesterday with ease as 14 combined runs were scored between the Dodgers and Diamondbacks. I'm going back to the well here as I think this 8-run total is too low. Rich Hill and Robbie Ray have posted good numbers this season. But Ray was forced into action in the wild card game and won't be on normal rest. And he has struggled of late. Hill can't figure out Arizona, going 1-6 with a 5.02 ERA in 10 lifetime starts against them. The OVER is 5-0 in DBacks last 5 vs. a left-handed starter. The OVER is 4-0 in Dodgers last 4 home games. The OVER is 4-0 in Ray's last 4 starts vs. Dodgers. Take the OVER.

7* SEC Game of the Year on Texas A&M +27
The Key: Alabama has won its last two games by a combined score of 125-3. It's safe to say the betting public is all over them now, which has inflated this number on the road against Texas A&M this week. The Aggies could easily be 5-0 if not for blowing a massive lead against UCLA in the opener. And Kevin Sumlin has found a way to be competitive against Nick Saban in recent years. The Aggies have only lost by more than 19 points once in their last five meetings since 2012, and that was on the road. Defensive coordinator John Chavis has turned this Aggies stop unit into a respectable one. And what can keep Texas A&M in this game is a run defense that is only giving up 96 rushing yards per game and 3.1 per carry this season. Bets on home dogs of 14.5 or more points off two or more consecutive wins, with a winning record on the season are 40-11 ATS since 1992. Take Texas A&M.

6* Arkansas/South Carolina SEC *CA$H COW* on Arkansas -2.5
The Key: The South Carolina Gamecocks are frauds, and that has shown the last few weeks. It also didn't help that they lost their best player in WR Deebo Samuel to a season-ending injury in Week 2. The Gameocks were outgained by 258 yards in their opener against South Carolina yet somehow won the game. Then they beat a bad Missouri team before falling at home to Kentucky 13-23. They barely beat a bad LA Tech team 17-16 at home, and then lost 17-24 at Texas A&M last week while getting outgained by 117 yards. Arkansas' only two losses have come against TCU and to Texas A&M in overtime. I think the Razorbacks are the better team, and they only have to win by a field goal or more to cover this spread. Arkansas is 13-2 ATS in its last 15 road games where the total is 45.5 to 49. Bets against home teams where the line is +3 to -3 after going under the total by 21 or more points total in their last three games, winning between 51% and 60% of their games on the season are 26-6 ATS since 1992.

6* AAC Game of the Week on Tulane -4.5
The Key: Good spot here for Tulane. The Green Wave had a bye last week following a grueling stretch against Navy, Oklahoma and Army in consecutive weeks. Now they'll be rejuvenated and they get to go up against a tired Tulsa team that hasn't had a bye and is coming off a grueling stretch of their own with Toledo, New Mexico and Navy in consecutive weeks. This is the perfect matchup for a run-heavy Tulane team that averages 244 rushing yards per game and 5.2 per carry. The Golden Hurricane allow 320 rushing yards and 6.7 per carry this season. The Green Wave are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Tulsa is 6-20 ATS in its last 26 after being outgianed by 125 or more yards in 2 consecutive games. The Green Wave are 17-6 ATS in their last 23 as a favorite of 3.5 to 10 points. Take Tulane.

They held Utah State to just 288 total yards to prove that their defense isn't broken. Boise State just can't be laying this kind of price on the road tonight with what we've seen from them so far. They lost their last game 23-42 at home to Virginia as 14-point favorites, failing to cover by 33 points. The home team is 6-0 SU in the last 6 meetings. The Cougars are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings with Boise State. The Broncos are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games overall.

Both defenses cannot continue to be as poor as they've been up to this point, especially the Patriots. The UNDER is 8-1 in Patriots last 9 games on grass. The UNDER is 4-1 in Bucs last 5 home games.

That makes this a bad matchup against NC State, which has one of the more underrated defensive lines in the country and NFL talent up front. Ryan Finley actually has a better QBR than Jackson this season. Finley has thrown 9 touchdowns and zero interceptions on the year. It's revenge time after NC State was blown out 13-54 at Louisville last season. It was a clear flat spot for the Wolfpack after they had lost in overtime to Clemson 17-24 the previous week. They didn't even show up. They will Thursday night in front of a packed home crowd to claim their revenge. Take NC State.

6* Red Sox/Astros American League *CA$H COW* on Houston -129
The Key: Justin Verlander is 5-1 with a 1.06 ERA following his trade-deadline acquisition from the Detroit Tigers. He has been absolutely dealing, and deserves this Game 1 start. The Astros come into the postseason with a ton of momentum as a team after going 6-1 in their final 7 games, scoring 11 or more runs in 4 of those victories. The Red Sox slumped to a 2-5 finish and scored 4 or fewer runs in 5 of those 7 games. Chris Sale was very hittable down the stretch. The right-handed heavy lineup of the Astros makes this a bad matchup for him, especially with the short porch in left field. Verlander sports a 2.77 ERA in 18 lifetime starts vs. Boston. He sports a 1.37 ERA in his last 7 starts against Boston, giving up only 7 earned runs in 46 innings. Verlander is 22-4 (+17.3 Units) against the money line in home games vs. teams outscoring opp by 0.5 or more runs/game in the second half of the season lifetime. Take Houston.

Greinke is 13-1 with a 2.87 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in 18 home starts this year. Gray is 5-3 with a 4.06 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 12 road starts. Greinke has allowed 4 earned runs or less in 7 starts starts against Colorado, 3 or less in 6 of those, and 2 or less in 4 of those.

Santana doesn't enjoy facing the Yankees, going 6-10 with a 5.66 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 20 lifetime starts against them. Severino sports a 9.00 ERA and 2.00 WHIP in one lifetime start versus Minnesota.

The Key: Don't look now but the Washington Redskins are 2-1 and dominating their opponents statistically. They have outgained their opponents by 101.7 yards per game on the season. Their defense is playing extremely well, giving up just 272 yards per game. The Chiefs are getting too much respect due to their 3-0 SU & 3-0 ATS start. But they have only outgained their opponents by 28.3 yards per game. They haven't been as dominant as their record and point differential would suggest. Kansas City is 1-14 ATS in its last 15 games after gaining 6 or more yards per play in 3 consecutive games. Washington is 43-24 ATS in its last 67 games as a road dog of 3.5 to 7 points.

And that's key because now the 49ers have extra rest and prep time to get ready for the Cardinals this week. The Cardinals have to work on a short week and try and recover from their 17-28 loss to the Cowboys on Monday Night Football. I do not think the 49ers should be catching a touchdown given this favorable situation for them. Arizona is 3-10 ATS in its last 13 games overall.

The Key: The fact that the Chargers are taking money and moving this line up to -2.5 is mind-blowing. The Eagles are clearly the better team in this matchup, and the Chargers simply find ways to lose. The Chargers are just 9-26 straight up over the past 3 seasons combined, winning roughly 25% of their games. They can't be favored here against an upstart Eagles team that is one of the most improved in the NFL this season. Philip Rivers should have already retired as he looks old and slow and has lost his arm strength. He threw three interceptions against the Chiefs last week and it could have been more. The Eagles are 8-0 ATS off 2 or more consecutive overs over the last 3 seasons. The Chargers have zero home-field advantage right now as the LA fans just aren't into them, especially after their 0-3 start. Los Angeles is 5-18 ATS in its last 23 home games.

The Key: Deshaun Watson led the Texans to a win in Cincinnati and a near-win in New England in his first two NFL starts. If that's not impressive, I don't know what is. This guy just isn't getting the love he deserves from oddsmakers as the Texans are now a home dog to the Titans. Now Watson will have another healthy weapon back in Will Fuller, who is expected to make his season debut. Having Fuller, DeAndre Hopkins and Bruce Ellington gives the Texans one of the most underrated receiving corps in the league. The Titans are in a tough spot after a physical game against the Seahawks last week. And after beating Seattle, it's certainly a bit of a letdown spot for them here. Teams have not done well the week after facing Seattle over the past decade. The Texans have won 8 of their last 10 meetings with the Titans, and they are a perfect 5-0 SU & 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home meetings. Take Houston.

7* Mountain West Game of the Year on Fresno State -9
The Key: I think the Fresno State Bulldogs are one of the most underrated teams in the country. They have been undervalued in the markets, going 3-0 ATS in their 3 games this season. They won 66-0 over Incarnate Ward, then had to play Alabama and Washington in back-to-back weeks. So their bye week came at the perfect time last week, and now they'll be fresh and ready to go in their Mountain West opener. Nevada is clearly not any good this season, going 0-4 SU & 1-3 ATS. They lost at home to Idaho State as a 32.5-point favorite, then were punked 7-45 at Washington State the last two weeks. The Wolf Pack come in on normal rest and won't be nearly as fresh as Fresno. Jeff Tedford is one of the best offensive minds in college football, so look for Fresno to score at will here against this suspect Nevada defense. Fresno is 7-0 ATS in its last 7 after scoring 17 points or less in 2 straight games. The Bulldogs are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 home games. Take Fresno State.

I fully expect the Hokies to pull the upset, but we'll take the 7.5 points just in case. Clemson was actually tied 7-7 with Boston College at home last week as 33-point favorites, so they are vulnerable. The Hokies are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall. The Hokies are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. The underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings. Take Virginia Tech.

And now they're up against a pesky Miami Ohio team that will fight them for four quarters. Miami won their final 6 games last year and easily could be 4-0 this year. They lost 26-31 at Marshall despite outgaining them by 162 yards. They also lost 17-21 to Cincinnati and blew a big lead in the 4th quarter. Notre Dame was outgained by 141 yards by Michigan State last week as that 38-18 final couldn't have been more misleading. The Redhawks are 9-2 ATS as a dog over the last 2 seasons.

6* NCAAF Non-Conference Game of the Week on Eastern Michigan +14.5
The Key: The Kentucky Wildcats are not in a good state of mind right now after blowing yet another late lead and losing to Florida, 28-27 last week. They have now lost 31 straight to the Gators. Now they have to step back out of conference and try and get motivated to play a MAC team, and I don't believe they will be. They only beat Eastern Kentucky 27-16 earlier this season as 33-point favorites. They have yet to win any game by more than 11 points this season. Now they're up against a game Eastern Michigan squad that made a bowl last year and returned 18 starters. EMU already upset Rutgers on the road, too. They can hang with Kentucky here. The Eagles are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 vs. a team with a winning record. The Eagles are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 road games. The Wildcats are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 non-conference games. Take Kentucky.

6* American League *CA$H COW* on Oakland A's +107
The Key: The Texas Rangers have completely quit. They are 0-7 in their last 7 games overall. They can't be favored here against an Oakland A's team that has not quit, going 9-2 in their last 11 games. The price is simply too good to pass up here, starting pitchers aside. But Martin Perez is 0-2 in his last 2 starts against the A's and has allowed 9 earned runs in 8 1/3 innings as well. Raul Alcantara pitched 5 shutout innings in a 1-0 win over the Rangers on September 23rd in his last start. Take Oakland.

7* Miami/Duke ACC *HEAVY HITTER* on Duke +7
The Key: Duke has been grossly underrated to start the season. The Blue Devils are 4-0 SU & 4-0 ATS, winning all four games by double-digits over NC Central (60-7), Northwestern (41-17), Baylor (34-20) and UNC (27-17). I think they continue being underrated here as 7-point home dogs to Miami. The Blue Devils have played the Hurricanes tough at home, not losing once by more than 7 points in their last 3 home meetings. Take Duke.

7* Bears/Packers NFC North Game of the Month on Green Bay -7
The Key: The Green Bay Packers have won 12 of their last 14 meetings with the Chicago Bears. They have also gone 10-3 ATS in the last 13 meetings. They won 26-10 at home over the Bears last year. The QB edge for the Packers here is worth at least 7 points. If Aaron Rodgers and the Packers get up 7 or more, the Bears won't be able to come back because Matt Glennon has been terrible, and he has the worst set of receivers in the NFL. The Bears can run the ball, but that's not going to work if they get behind. I think the Packers are by far the safer side here. Hanging with the Steelers and Packers in back-to-back games is just too much to ask for Chicago. Take Green Bay.

6* Texas/Iowa State Big 12 *Total* Annihilator on OVER 62
The Key: The Iowa State Cyclones hung 41 points on a very good Iowa defense. In fact, they have scored 40-plus points in all 3 games this season. They will be able to keep soaring on offense against a leaky Texas defense that gave up 51 points to Maryland. The Longhorns should only get better offensively as the season goes on under Tom Herman, and I expect them to have several new wrinkles on offense with two weeks to get ready for this game. Expect another patented Big 12 shootout in this game Thursday night. The Cyclones are 6-0 OVER off a win by 17 points or more over the last 3 seasons. The OVER is 10-0-1 in Cyclones last 11 games following a win. Take the OVER.

6* National League *CA$H COW* on Pittsburgh Pirates +134
The Key: I cashed the Phillies +150 yesterday fading the Washington Nationals. I'll do the same on the underdog Pirates here at a great price. The Nationals have nothing to play for right now as they are locked in to the No. 2 seed in the National League, and they'll now face the Cubs in the Divisional Round series. The Pirates have won 4 straight coming in and have scored a total of 30 runs in those wins, or an average of 7.5 per game. They should light up Edwin Jackson, who is 5-6 with a 5.26 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in 12 starts, 3-3 with a 5.77 ERA and 1.72 WHIP in 6 home starts, and 0-2 with a 15.68 ERA and 2.71 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Ivan Nova is 11-14 with a 4.14 ERA in 30 starts this year. Nova is 1-1 with a 3.08 ERA in 2 lifetime starts vs. Washington. Take Pittsburgh.

7* National League *MOUND MISMATCH* on Colorado Rockies -1.5 (-110)
The Key: The Colorado Rockies have huge mound and motivational advantages here over the Miami Marlins. They are trying to clinch the wild card spot and lead the Brewers by only 1.5 games. Ace Jon Gray gets the ball looking to build on his 9-4 record with a 3.62 ERA in 19 starts this year. Gray has gone 4-1 with a 2.92 ERA in 7 starts at Coors Field. He has come up clutch down the stretch too at 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA in his last 3 starts. Adam Conley is 7-6 with a 5.71 ERA in 19 starts this year, including 1-0 with a 10.49 ERA in his last 3 starts. Conley sports a 5.90 ERA in 2 lifetime starts vs. Colorado. Take Colorado on the Run Line.

7* AL West Game of the Month on Houston Astros -132
The Key: The Houston Astros are still battling for home-field advantage in the American League with the Cleveland Indians. They are doing their part, going 9-2 in their last 11 games overall. The Texas Rangers are going in the opposite direction. They were just swept by the Oakland A's over the weekend that killed their wild card chances. They have now lost 4 straight. I don't look for them to offer much resistance over the final week of the season now, and that showed last night in an 11-2 home loss to the Astros. We are getting Houston ace Dallas Keuchel at a tremendous price here. Keuchel is 13-5 with a 2.96 ERA and 1.12 WHIP in 22 starts this year. Texas is 1-11 (-12.9 Units) against the money line in home games off 3 consecutive losses by 5 runs or more to division rivals. The Astros are 10-2 in Keuchel's last 12 road starts. Take Houston.

The Seattle Mariners just can't wait to go on vacation. They are 1-8 in their last 9 games overall. These are two teams headed in opposite directions, and we'll back the more motivated A's here at basically even money at home. The A's are 45-33 at home this year. Felix Hernandez is 0-1 with a 7.30 ERA in his last 3 starts. The A's are 10-1 in their last 11 vs. a right-handed starter. Take Oakland.

7* Cowboys/Cardinals NFC *HEAVY HITTER* on Arizona +3.5
The Key: The Arizona Cardinals have gone on the road the first two weeks and are 1-1. There's no shame in that. Now it's their home opener on the Monday night stage, and the Cardinals are primed for their best performance of the season. Dallas has a ton of injuries in the secondary, and the Cardinals' strength is their passing attack, so Carson Palmer is primed for a big game here. Trevor Siemian lit up Dallas' secondary last week, and he's one of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL. The Cowboys lost that game 17-42. The Cardinals have one of the best defenses in the NFL after finishing #2 in total defense last year. They will be able to slow down Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliot here Monday. Dogs are 12-3 ATS so far in Week 3, and I think this is another live home dog here tonight. Bruce Arians is 6-0 ATS as a home dog of 3 points or less as the coach of Arizona. Arians is 7-0 ATS against NFC East teams as the coach of the Cardinals. Take Arizona.

6* Sunday NFL *Total* Annihilator on Seahawks/Titans UNDER 42
The Key: The Seattle Seahawks have been terrible offensively this season because of their injuries along the offensive line. Russell Wilson has been running for his life, and the running game hasn't been able to get going. The Seahawks are only scoring 10.5 points per game and averaging 4.4 yards per play. But they have been elite defensively in giving up only 13.0 points per game. I think this will be a defensive battle with the Titans, who could be without RB DeMarco Murray and WR Corey Davis on offense. Seattle is 31-12 UNDER in its last 43 September road games. Take the UNDER.

The Texas Rangers have had their fate sealed by losing the first 2 games of this series, and are now 4.5 games back in the wild card. I look for the Rangers to tank the rest of the way. Jharel Cotton is 2-1 with a 3.44 ERA and 0.87 WHIP in 3 lifetime starts vs. Texas. Martin Perez is 6-6 with a 5.03 ERA and 1.49 WHIP in 14 lifetime starts vs. Oakland. Take Oakland.

7* AFC Game of the Month on Houston Texans +14
The Key: The New England Patriots have too many injuries right now to be favored by 14 over the Houston Texans. They have a handful of skill players on offense who are banged up, and the injuries on defense have led to the Patriots giving up 31 points, 483 yards per game and 7.8 yards per play. Their defense was terrible in the preaseson too. I think Deshaun Watson can make enough plays to keep this game close, while the Texans' defense remains one of the elite units in the league. Plus Watson gets some key weapons back this week in TE Ryan Griffin and WR Bruce Ellington. Also CB Jonathan Joseph is expected to return from injury. Take Houston.
