10-28-17 | Louisiana Tech -13 v. Rice | 42-28 | Win | 100 | 33 h 50 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Power Pack winner on the La Tech Bulldogs La Tech has won the L3 meetings in the series by an average score of 60-21. The Bulldogs are a notch below recent editions but scoring points haven't been their problem, a tough schedule has been. Rice has scored 12 points or less in six of their seven games and faces a team/coach here who has no problem putting the pedal to the metal. La Tech big. |

10-28-17 | Kansas State -24 v. Kansas | 30-20 | Loss | -110 | 33 h 49 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner of the Kansas State Wildcats Kansas State will be in a foul mood having lost three straight, two in overtime. Snyder has always taken care of business in this rivalry winning 21 of the L22 and covering 18 of the 20. The Jayhawks have been outscored 153-19 in its L3 and the offense as generated just 9 first downs the last two games. |

10-28-17 | Florida International v. Marshall -17 | 41-30 | Loss | -105 | 62 h 49 m | Show | |
DMack's Revenge Game of the Year is on Marshall The Thundering Herd is doing everything it can to prove that last year's 3-9 season was an aberration. The team is well coached by John "Doc" Holliday who has the Herd at 6-1 and 3-0 in the conference. Marshall has already avenged two of last year's losses with double-digit wins and here they look to take care a little 31-14 setback at FIU in the second to the last game of last year. Marshall is somewhat offensively challenged but they face an offensively challenged Panther offense averaging just 19 ppg. with their own big-time stop unit giving up just 14 ppg. Payback here ... Marshall 37-10. |

10-28-17 | Wisconsin -26 v. Illinois | Top | 24-10 | Loss | -110 | 83 h 57 m | Show |
DMack's Saturday NCAAF Can of Whup Ass is on the Wisconsin Badgers Sadly, rebuilding at Illinois has been a much bigger chore than Lovie Smith could have ever imagined. This is a mismatch any way you look at it and Wisconsin can name the score. On offense, Illinois quarterbacks have thrown five TD passes against 12 interceptions. The Badger defense already has four pick-sixes and is overall statistically in the same sentence with Michigan and Michigan State. The Wisky offense is led by RB Taylor (1112, 7.5, 11TDs) and he'll face a defense that was shredded for five rushing TDs by Rutgers. Last year, Wisky won on cruise control 48-3 and it figures to be as bad this year. For the record, we'll call it 51-7. |
|||||||
10-27-17 | Tulsa v. SMU -8.5 | 34-38 | Loss | -110 | 51 h 34 m | Show | |
DMack's Friday Night Feeding Frenzy is on the SMU Mustangs The SMU is 5-2 with losses to TCU (56-36) and Houston so they have taken care of business against their own kind. The Mustang offense should be able to do what it wants against the No.129 defense in the country with Tulsa allowing 250+ on the ground and through the air. The Golden Hurricane runs the ball well but has virtually no passing attack. SMU has all three CUSA heavies coming up so a big win here gets the Stangs Bowl eligible keeps program momentum going. |
|||||||
10-26-17 | Dolphins +3 v. Ravens | 0-40 | Loss | -105 | 26 h 56 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Thursday Night Thunder is on the Miami Dolphins The Dolphins can't possibly be feeling any better about themselves sitting at 4-2 despite trailing at the half in five of the six. Many consider Matt Moore an improvement over Cutler. Just a really good spot for Miami who has lost six of seven in the series and was spanked by Baltimore 38-6 last year. Ravens reeling at 1-4 SU and ATS L5 and unable to get anything going on offense. Miami 21-16. |
|||||||
10-26-17 | South Alabama v. Georgia State | 13-21 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 60 m | Show | |
DMack's Thursday Night King of the Sunbelt is on South Alabama Both teams are 2-1 in the Belt with Georgia State off a 24-point loss to Troy, a team with a defense not as good as what they see today in the Jags. In fact, State barely managed four yards per play and that won't cut it vs. SAU team that is improving each game on the offensive side. Georgia State is 3-7-1 ATS in L11 home games and is 0-2 straight up this year including a loss to an FCS team. South Alabama 24-13. |
|||||||
10-23-17 | Redskins +5.5 v. Eagles | 24-34 | Loss | -106 | 9 h 53 m | Show | |
DMack's Monday Night Magic is on the Washington Redskins The Redskins have lost six straight Mon/Thurs/Sun night games including the abomination against Kansas City three weeks ago but the positives far outweigh the negatives. This is a nice revenge spot for the Skins who lost 30-17 to the Eagles in Week I snapping a five-game series win streak. In that game, Washington turned the ball over four times which is not likely to occur again. The Skins are 8-3 L11 as a road dog and taking that thought further, Wash is 20-8 L28 as a division road dog. If Cousins can generate some points and keep his slate clean, Washington can win straight up. |
|||||||
10-22-17 | Falcons v. Patriots OVER 56 | 7-23 | Loss | -110 | 76 h 7 m | Show | |
DMack's Sunday Night Super Play is on the Pats/Falcons Over Can't see how this can be anything but a shootout. The Pats are struggling at home going 1-2 SU and ATS and are in danger of losing B2B games for the fits time in nine years. The Pats have allowed at least 33+ points to all three opponents at Foxboro and face a Falcon team off B2B bad losses. Matt Ryan will be attacking the No.32 ranked defense and the No.32 ranked pass defense that is allowing 324 ypg. These teams should be trading points all night. Play the Over. |
|||||||
10-22-17 | Seahawks v. Giants UNDER 40 | 24-7 | Win | 100 | 22 h 11 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner on the Seahawks/Giants Under The Giants have suddenly found a running attack having rushed the ball for 152 and 148 yards the last two games. It's highly doubtful that they'll do that vs. the Seahawks just like it is highly doubtful Eli and the four dwarves will have games like they had in Denver facing the Legion of Boom. The Giant defense has been on the improve and should appreciate the drop in class to a Seattle offense whose numbers are skewed by the one big game against the hapless Colts. 16-12 somebody but what's the difference for us. |
|||||||
10-22-17 | Broncos v. Chargers UNDER 40.5 | 0-21 | Win | 100 | 22 h 10 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner on the Broncos/Chargers Under Trevor Simien has been brutal the last month and the Broncos desperately need a win with the Chiefs, Patriots, and Eagles on deck. Both defenses have been decent with the Chargers very strong against the pass. Week One 24-21 Denver win extremely misleading as Bolts got two late scores as a result of ... Simien turnovers. This one ends closer to 30 than 40. Play the Under. |
|||||||
10-22-17 | Bucs v. Bills -3 | 27-30 | Push | 0 | 19 h 20 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner on the Buffalo Bills Tampa Bay has been awful on the road and it's uncertain if Jameis will be 100%. Buffalo is off a bye so extra time and their last home game was a surgical beatdown of the Broncos. The Bills have won and covered their last two off a bye and are 5-2 ATS their last seven post-bye games. NFC South teams are just 7-12 out of division while AFC teams are 9-5 ATS vs. non-division opponents. Buff 29-17. |
|||||||
10-22-17 | Cardinals +3 v. Rams | 0-33 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 48 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner on the Arizona Cardinals With their backs against the wall, the Cards responded with a big game vs. Tampa Bay. We'll find out today if that was in large part to the arrival of Adrain Peterson who rumbled for 100 yards (the team 160) in his debut. Run game alleviates pressure on Carson Palmer who was abysmal before the Bucs. This game is being played in London so it's a neutral field and if Cards performance is close to last week they win straight up. |
|||||||
10-22-17 | Ravens v. Vikings -5 | 16-24 | Win | 100 | 19 h 48 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner on the Minnesota Vikings The Vikings will have a good gameplan for the Ravens here with Keenum as the man. He's actually played pretty well and should be better with the Vikes new found running game. The Ravens didn't score an offensive TD in last week's loss to Chicago and things shouldn't be any better here. Minny moves to 15-5 as a home favorite under Zimmer with a double-digit favorite here. |
|||||||
10-22-17 | Panthers v. Bears UNDER 41 | 3-17 | Win | 100 | 19 h 46 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner on the Panthers/Bears Under No rocket science here. Off the debacle vs. Philly in last, look for Cam and Co. to build a little confidence by running the ball with McCaffrey and Stewart. By the same token, the Bears have not asked Trubisky for much and have a two-headed dragon of their own in Howard and Cohen. The running game eats clock and limits possessions. Tough red zone defense equals long drives and FGs and dead nut unders. |

10-21-17 | Wyoming +14 v. Boise State | 14-24 | Win | 100 | 12 h 2 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Subscriber Bonus Play on the Wyoming Cowboys This is a huge game for Wyoming and highly touted QB Josh Allen. The Cowboys are 4-2 with losses to Iowa and Oregon and wins over four nondescripts including Hawaii and Utah State. Allen would have been a first-round pick if he had come out last year and this year he is completing just 57% of his passes with a 7-4 TD to INT ratio. Boise off a big win over San Diego State last week but their problems on the smurf turf are well documented as the Broncos are 0-8 L8 as a home favorite while Wyoming rocks a 9-3 run as a dog and won this game in Laramie last year 30-28 (+14). |
|||||||
10-21-17 | Arizona -3 v. California | 45-44 | Loss | -115 | 17 h 36 m | Show | |
DMack's Pac -12 Game of the Month is on the Arizona Wildcats These teams haven't met since 2014 but that doesn't matter as both teams are completely different clubs. Cal has newly found defense under Wilcox and is off upset of Washington State. Arizona has rushed for 877 yards in its last two games with QB Tate racking up an amazing 577 of it by himself. The Bears had given up 38 ppg in their other conference tilts before Wazzou upset. Tate almost a legend after just two games averaging a whopping 19.2 ypc. Arizona 41-20. |
|||||||
10-21-17 | USC +3.5 v. Notre Dame | 14-49 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Play on the USC Trojans The Trojans have been ticket burners all year and have played one complete game all year, the win over Stanford. Darnold has had a sketchy year at best and now there is talk he won't even come out. The Trojan offensive line was young to start the year but is coming around. USC defense puts eight in the box and forces Wimbush (53% completions) to beat them by throwing the football. That won't happen. USC straight up by a touchdown. |
|||||||
10-21-17 | Michigan v. Penn State -10 | 13-42 | Win | 100 | 129 h 4 m | Show | |
DMack's Big Ten Game of the Year in on the Penn State Nittany Lions Michigan has had no quarterback play all year and the Wolverines are fortunate to be 5-1 at this point. The Maize and Blue have a big defense that is super tough between the tackles allowing just 0.6 ypc but that's where the Nits do their business with Heisman front-runner Barkley who runs for 7.6 ypc. inside. Something has to give and it's Michigan. Penn State is in a double revenge spot and style points will be so important down the line when they're locked in a room going over playoff teams. Penn State is the Big Ten Game of the Year, call it 29-10. |
|||||||
10-21-17 | Wake Forest v. Georgia Tech -4 | 24-38 | Win | 100 | 11 h 30 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Play on Georgia Tech The Jackets are as unlucky as they come and are a couple of plays away from being unbeaten. Two one-point losses to Tennessee and in last to Miami, Fla. Wake is a talented dog that has overachieved but GTech is the real deal and on an 8-0 ATS covering the number in every game this year. Lay it. |
|||||||
10-21-17 | UAB -7 v. Charlotte | 24-25 | Loss | -128 | 112 h 16 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Play on UAB Charlotte is a 0-7 trainwreck with no quarterback and seven or fewer points in four of those seven losses. UAB is an amazing story at 4-2 and likely to get Bowl eligible after a two-year hiatus from the gridiron. A win here is an absolute must for postseason play and the Blazers get it in a big way. |
|||||||
10-21-17 | SMU -7.5 v. Cincinnati | 31-28 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 57 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Play on SMU The underrated Mustangs have had a week to regroup off their loss to Houston and tweak their No.11 ranked offense with the emphasis on the run vs. Bearcat No.111 rush defense. The Smu is a profitable 5-2-1 ATS in its L8 roadies vs. 1-7 ATS L8 Power 5 homies for Cincinnati. SMU 41-23. |

10-21-17 | Syracuse v. Miami-FL UNDER 59.5 | 19-27 | Win | 100 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAF Total of the Week is on Syracuse and Miami Under I don't care what anyone says, last week Syracuse was going to beat Clemson regardless of Tiger QB going down. Biebers had the Orange as a feven pitch while Clemson not ready to play. The Canes are playing great defense but struggling to score points without Walton who is a Sunday afternoon back but out for the year with injuries. The Orange are 1-6 to the Under this year while the Canes are 1-4 lowballs this year. This one has 20-17 written all over it or ... the first one to 20 wins. |

10-21-17 | Northern Illinois -13 v. Bowling Green | 48-17 | Win | 100 | 108 h 47 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Play on Northern Illinois Bowling Green is tailor-made for the Huskies who get by on a big defense and a power running game. Northern is not the explosive program we grew accustomed to ten years ago and NIU is just a couple of plays from being 6-0. The Huskies will definitely be in the thick of the MAC championship discussions. |

10-21-17 | Kent State v. Ohio -17.5 | 3-48 | Win | 100 | 5 h 58 m | Show | |
DMack Subscription Bonus Play is on the Ohio Bobcats The Bobcats ground and pound is in top form topping 290 yards and 7.0 ypc in two of the last three weeks. They face a Kent squad that can't throw the ball a lick (No.125) and is averaging just 11 ppg. The Flashes left it all on the field last week in a win over Miami, Oh. and in the end, fold under the relentless Ohio ground attack. Ohio 45-7. |

10-20-17 | Colorado State -7 v. New Mexico | 27-24 | Loss | -132 | 78 h 48 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Friday Night Feeding Frenzy is on the Colorado State Rams At 5-2, Colorado State is right where it needs to be. The Rams were very representative in non-conference losses to Colorado and Alabama and have pretty much taken care of business against everyone else. New Mexico has been hit hard by injuries and last week's 38-0 whitewash at Fresno is a red flag. CSU has won seven straight in the series and covered the last five. The Rams are also 8-3 L11 as a road fave (2-0 this year) and MWC home dogs are just 2-5 making this an easy call. |
|||||||
10-19-17 | Chiefs -2.5 v. Raiders | 30-31 | Loss | -115 | 74 h 49 m | Show | |
DMack's Thursday Night Thunder is on the Kansas City Chiefs When faced with the choice to take the Cheifs on the road off their first loss on a short work week or the freefalling Raiders who have lost four straight in terrible fashion at home ... gimme the Chiefs every time. The Chiefs have won five straight as an AFC West road favorite and they've beaten Oakland five straight times here (4-1 ATS) with an average margin of vistory by 12+ points. Look for Kansas City to come in with a very foused complete game 27-10 win. |
|||||||
10-19-17 | UL-Lafayette v. Arkansas State -12.5 | 3-47 | Win | 100 | 81 h 58 m | Show | |
DMack's King of the Sunbelt is on the Arkansas State Red Wolves Love the home-standing Red Wolves who have owned all or a piece of the Sunbelt title four of the past five years. Also a nice revenge spot for an Arkansas State outfit that inexplicably lost to Lafayette (15 game SBC win streak snapped when touchdown on the final play of the game was reversed) last year the final week of the season. ASU quarterback Hanson, who already has 19 TD passes can do whatever he wants versus Cajun's No.110 pass defense. Arkansas State 45-17. |

10-15-17 | Giants v. Broncos -11.5 | 23-10 | Loss | -100 | 77 h 17 m | Show | |
DMack's Giants/Broncos Sunday Night Super Play is on the Denver Broncos Whenever the schedule makers were making up the schedule, they had to think that this matchup would be excellent prime time viewing featuring two probable playoff teams. Instead, the 0-5 Giants are in complete freefall with half the roster on the injured listed. In fact, Big Blue's top four receivers have already been ruled out, their leading rusher (Paul Perkins) is questionable with broken ribs and almost certainly out The Giant offensive line has been horrific for almost two seasons and even the defense has not escaped with its best player and top pass rusher Olivier Vernon also likely out with a bum ankle. As if it couldn't get any worse, the G-Men travel and face Bronco outfit with extra time to prepare and are 6-1 SU and ATS L7 post-bye game. Further, the Broncos are 14-7 L21 as a non-division home favorite and 16-6 ATS L22 vs. the NFC which includes 42-17 spanking of Dallas earlier in the year. If not for Trevor Simien and the pedestrian Bronco offense, this line would be every bit of 14+ points. The Giants could circle the wagons but with who ??? Denver 33-10. |

10-15-17 | Rams +3 v. Jaguars | 27-17 | Win | 100 | 90 h 30 m | Show | |
DMack NFL Power Pack will be on the Los Angeles Rams The Rams will have a chip on their shoulder here after giving away their game vs. Seattle last week. This game will undoubtedly come down to turnovers, the Jags +11 in their three big wins and Rams -5 in two losses. Jags a bit counterfeit as their defense has scored as many touchdowns as the offense the last three week. How about Jags 5-23 ATS L28 vs. the NFC. Take the points. |
|||||||
10-15-17 | Bucs -1 v. Cardinals | 33-38 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
DMack NFL Power Pack will be on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tampa Bay with extra time off Thursday nighter vs. the Pats. Buccs were missing four starters on defense making 19-14 loss all the more impressive. Buccs will remember getting spanked here 40-7 last year with famous Jameis throwing five picks. Carson Palmer is a spent shell guiding Cards to just 58 total points in the L4 games. Tampa Bay 27-14. |
|||||||
10-15-17 | Packers -3 v. Vikings | 10-23 | Loss | -105 | 70 h 48 m | Show | |
DMack NFL Power Pack will be on the Green Bay Packers The Vikings defense has been very impressive to this point but this is not the Lions or Bears, this the Green Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers. The Pack has gotten 35 the past two games and with the series record at 11-3-1 Green Bay the L15, it's not like Mr. Rodgers has not had success against the Vikes before. Rodgers to Nelson continues to amaze. Pack is also 8-3 ATS L11 with extra rest as Minny off short work week after MNF win over Chicago. |

10-15-17 | Dolphins v. Falcons UNDER 47 | 20-17 | Win | 100 | 70 h 44 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Total of the Week will be on the Dolphins/Falcons Under Miami is a disaster on offense scoring just three TDs on its L42 drives and not averaging better than a brutal 4.2 yards-per-attempt over its last three games. Cutler dinks and dunks and the running attack has never gotten on track with Ajai always hurt. Adding insult to injury, the OC was canned this week for off the field problems. The Falcons are off a bye which came as a relief as the team was really banged up after Lions/Bills. Julio Jones plays but Sanu is out. This is a game that Quinn knows that he should win handily so expect him to run Freeman and Coleman in multi-play time-consuming drives. The Dolphins also play some defense (No.8) and can't be expected to contribute much more than 10 points. Play the Under. |

10-15-17 | Browns +10 v. Texans | 17-33 | Loss | -120 | 7 h 47 m | Show | |
DMack NFL Power Pack will be on the Cleveland Browns Despite the Browns 1-21 (5-17 ATS) runs under Jackson, dontmind grabbing double-digits with new starter Kevin Hogan. Kizer was just not ready and after five games had the lowest QBR in NFL history and that includes Jamarcus Russell. Texans defense will be fine even without Watt, it was last year ... but Hogan was a four-year starter at Stanford and much better prepared to keep this within shouting distance. |

10-14-17 | Boise State v. San Diego State -6 | 31-14 | Loss | -110 | 34 h 20 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Money Never Sleeps Late Show Bail Out is on the San Diego State Aztecs If you watched Boise State against BYU last weekend, you know what a shell of a program the Broncos are from three years ago under Petersen. Sure Boise is 37-18 ATS in their L55 road games but those numbers were compiled years back and once again, this is not a good Boise team, this is not a good team period. San Diego State is rolling and comes off an emotional trouncing of UNLV. Rashaad Penny is running roughshod over everyone and SDSU is a good team having won and covered two games against the Pac-12 in non-conference play. Rocky Long's bunch has won 15 of 16 at home and 29-13-1 ATS L43 Mountain West games. Boise is the next scalp. |

10-14-17 | New Mexico +1.5 v. Fresno State | 0-38 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 33 m | Show | |
DMack Subscriber Late Steam Bonus Play is on the New Mexico Lobos I kept looking at this to see what I was missing. Tedford has done a nice job with Fresno State, a once proud program under Pat Hill that has had ZERO success of late, but their wins are against bad Nevada and San Jose State teams and Incarnate Word. The Lobos have won two straight and have covered last three despite a mash unit of injuries. They are off a bye, have gotten somewhat healthy and Davie has settled on a quarterback to take them the rest of the way barring injury. The wrong team is favored here and wouldn't be shocked to see the Lobos a pick or small favorite at kickoff. Take New Mexico. |

DMack's NCAAF Can of Whup Play is on the South Florida Florida Bulls Central Florida dropped 51 on Cincinnati last week ... in a game that was called after just three quarters for rain. South Florida is home off a bye after dropping 61 on a similarly defensively challenged ECU. The Bulls are a machine on offense with Flowers as the triggerman and the defense (which leads the nation in INTS with 14 and allows 74 ypg. rushing) faces a Bearcat QB completing just 53% of his passes. USF is getting to the point where it can start thinking about running the table and possibly crashing the FBS playoff party with a couple of breaks. Style points count ... South Florida by 38. |

10-14-17 | New Mexico State -6.5 v. Georgia Southern | 35-27 | Win | 100 | 7 h 9 m | Show | |
DMack Subscriber Late Steam Bonus Play is on the New Mexico State Aggies We've used the Aggies with great success in September and will continue to pick our spots with this hard trying bunch. You probably remember the story. HC Doug Martin was a dead coach walking heading into this year, New Mexico State's last year in the Sunbelt as they go independent. With 20 scholarships available, Martin went out and go the best 16 JUCOs he could get to play right away and the team has been ultra-competitive and even beat Big Bro New Mexico. The Aggies were perfect against the spread until last week when QB Rodgers threw an uncharacteristic six picks vs. App State. Rodgers should do all kinds of business here against an Eagle front seven that brings no pressure and cannot (No.104) stop the run. This is a game NMSU should win comfortably despite being on the road. |

The DMack Power Pack will be on the Texas Longhorns Really misjudged the number which you can find now at +9/9 1/2. Catching points with Herman who is 12-0 ATS and 11-1 SU (OT loss at USC TY) since he was the OC for Bama two decades ago has proven very profitable. The last three in the series all decided by three or less. |

10-14-17 | Connecticut v. Temple -9.5 | 28-24 | Loss | -110 | 62 h 31 m | Show | |
MACK ATTACK AAC GAME OF THE YEAR is on the TEMPLE OWLS Temple is a work in progress that is improving weekly but at a slow and steady pace. The Owls still play the same great defense that they did under the Matt Rhule era but replacing a four-year starting quarterback has been tough going and the offense has sputtered more times than not. Last week, Temple faced a similar in quality but more offensively gifted East Carolina team and new QB threw for 300+ in the 34-10 win. That should give the Owls all the confidence it needs to throttle a UConn team giving up 43+ ppg and has failed to cover any of their L10 games. This is my first conference Game of the Year and it's Temple ... 45-10. |

Mack Attack Friday Night Feeding Frenzy is on the Washington State Cougars Wazzou is off wins over USC and Oregon and in a prime let down stuff but The Pirate (Milke Leach) is made of better stuff and will have this team ready to play in front of a national TV audience. The Cougars snapped a 1-10 run against Cal by beating the Bears by 35 last year. Cal is banged up, especially on defense where the Bears have given up 83 points the last two weeks. Coog gunslinger Falk completing 70% of his passes with 19 TDs and threw for five scores against the Bears last year. Wash State 16-7 ATS L23 on the road in all games. Lay it. |

10-12-17 | Eagles v. Panthers -3 | 28-23 | Loss | -115 | 55 h 7 m | Show | |
DMack's Thursday Night Thunder is on the Carolina Panthers Though this is Carolina's only home game in five weeks, it is a better spot for the Panthers. This is the Eagles only road games over the next five weeks with three homies and a bye on deck. Short week to prepare to play in a tough venue with a red-hot Cam Newton and likely playing without your best offensive (LT Lane Johnson) and defensive (LB Fletcher Cox) players. Wentz still just 3-7 SU and ATS on the road in his second year and Cam with 651 yards and seven touchdowns the last two weeks. Panthers also a rock solid 13-6 L19 as a non-division home favorite to seal the deal. |

10-12-17 | Texas State v. UL-Lafayette -13.5 | 7-24 | Win | 100 | 20 h 13 m | Show | |
DMack's Thursday Night Kings of the Sunbelt release on the ULL Rajin' Cajuns The Bobcats are hard trying and do play some defense but they are 0-5 vs the FBS and four of those losses are by 18+ points. State is No.124 on offense and allows 45 ppg. so they can't trade with anyone ... even ULL who is 4-0 SU and ATS L4 in the series, 3-0 when favored. All four wins are by 22+. Cajuns do not play much defense but are off their best effort of the year holding Idaho to just 279 yards. Tough to endorse ULL but they should be able to comfortable outscore a TSU squad that is 4-10 L14 as a road dog and has been outscored 82-13 in two games with suitcase this year. Lay it. |
|||||||
10-11-17 | South Alabama v. Troy UNDER 50 | Top | 19-8 | Win | 100 | 16 h 45 m | Show |
DMack's Wednesday Sunbelt Super Play is on South Alabama/Troy Under Not interested in a side here as both teams are as dependable as rain. SUA is 0-4-1 ATS this year and 3-12 again the spread its L as a road dog. Troy counters with an 11-21 run as a home favorite. With both teams, life and death to score three touchdowns a game, prefer to look at the under where Troy is 5-0 to the low and SAU 4- to the under. Add to the mix the Jags No.113 ranked offense that completes less than % of its passes and a Troy outfit that in No.31 in total defense and the case is made. |

10-09-17 | Vikings v. Bears OVER 40 | 20-17 | Loss | -112 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Monday Night Magic is on the Vikes/Bears Over Looks like Bradford will start for the Vikes which good since he's very similar to Alex Smith in that he doesn't turn the ball over and completes drives with his high percentage dinking and dunking. The Bears welcome in the Mitch Trubisky era and should be able to move the ball with two-headed running attack and Trubisky's mobility and ability to avoid the rush. The rook from North Carolina was good in preseason but this is for real. He's had extra prep time with Bears off Thursday nighter and is at home which is a good thing. I see both teams finding paydirt tonight and will play OVER the total. |
|||||||
10-08-17 | Chiefs +1 v. Texans | 42-34 | Win | 100 | 41 h 57 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Sunday Night Magic is on the Kansas City Chiefs Short week + travel for the Chiefs who are off Monday night and are still the lone unbeaten team in the league. KC offense hitting on all cylinders rushing for 168 per behind super rook Kareem Hunt and scoring touchdowns on a third of their drives. Chiefs are 12-2 as road faves under Reid and remain undefeated with a 27-20 kind of win here. |
|||||||
10-08-17 | Packers v. Cowboys -2 | 35-31 | Loss | -110 | 75 h 33 m | Show | |
DMack will be on the Cowboys Green Bay has done a real nice job considering they've been through six different offensive tackles in just four games. The team is a mash unit and faces a desperate Cowboys outfit that looks to get back on track. The Pack is just 3-9 in L12 as a road dog and has eliminated Dallas, two of the last three years in the playoffs. Expecting a near perfect game from Dallas today. |
|||||||
10-08-17 | Ravens v. Raiders -2.5 | 30-17 | Loss | -120 | 100 h 52 m | Show | |
DMack will be on the Raiders There are rumblings that Carr is lobbying to play in this game and while that is highly unlikely, have no problem with back EJ Manual is playing on vets min salary and trying to re-establish himself in the league. Opened 8-for-8 at Denver and later had two TDs dropped in the endzone. Lots to expect from Baltimore which without a bye lost in London two weeks ago, got beat up by the Steelers last week and travels East to West this week. Raiders by double-digits. |
|||||||
10-08-17 | Jets +1.5 v. Browns | 17-14 | Win | 100 | 97 h 45 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Game of the Week winner is on the NY Jets In Las Vegas, the biggest liability in town on season win/loss props is on the Jets season wins under. Don't look now but with a win here, Gang Green will be 3-2 and just a win away from making a lot of people VERY unhappy. Today, they are getting points to a team that has won once in 23 games. Jets run the ball with a lot of authority which opens things up for the occasional big play. The Flyboy defense also plays hard and is improving up front which has been their strength in the past. Kizer has shown nothing at QB and is the Jets do get close, they'll be facing the league's worst red zone defense. Jets 24-16. |
|||||||
10-08-17 | Chargers +3.5 v. Giants | 27-22 | Win | 100 | 96 h 10 m | Show | |
DMack will be on the Chargers The Bolts are being the Bolts, even in Los Angeles with three losses in four games of three points or less. We'll grab the all-important hook here with a Charger team that 22-11-1 L34 as a road dog. AFC West road dogs are a perfect 3-0 after four weeks. "San Diego" in a battle of desperate teams. |
|||||||
10-08-17 | Jaguars v. Steelers -8 | 30-9 | Loss | -110 | 96 h 9 m | Show | |
DMack will be on the Steelers Since 2007, the Jags are 5-2 straight up in their L7 visists to the Steel City so they will be plenty of serious here. Bell is now ready for 30+ touches a game which will open up offense that struggled the first four games of the year. Pitt on a 20-12 home favorite run. |
|||||||
10-08-17 | 49ers v. Colts -1 | 23-26 | Win | 100 | 96 h 5 m | Show | |
DMack will be on the Colts The 49ers haven't scored touchdowns in three of their four games. They should hit paydirt in this game but not as often as the Colts. This is the first time the Colts have been favored in almost two years and the NFC West is just 3-7 ATS outside the division and just 1-4 getting points. Colts by 10. |
|||||||
10-07-17 | San Diego State -9.5 v. UNLV | 41-10 | Win | 100 | 36 h 6 m | Show | |
DMack's Late Show Bail Out is on the San Diego State Aztecs Maybe because I've lived in Las Vegas since 1991 and have been disappointed by UNLV football sooooo many times, I'm a bit sour. I don't think that is influencing my play here and I just don't understand why "sharps" are drinking the Rebel Kool Aid. The game has dropped from SDSU -11 to under 10 despite SDSU being 5-0 with a chance to go to 6-0 for the first time since 1975. The Aztecs are 9-2 L11 in the series with the average margin of victory 19 ppg. and all nine wins by a touchdown or more. Last year, SDSU won 26-7 with last year's second string back (this year's feature back) Rashad Penny outgaining the entire Rebel team 160-122. UNLV took a major hit to it's running game when it's center and was hurt last week vs. SJSU which also nicked the Reb defense for 463 yards but only scoring 13 points. Going to call this one SDSU 37-19. |
|||||||
10-07-17 | Michigan State +10.5 v. Michigan | 14-10 | Win | 100 | 49 h 19 m | Show | |
DMack's Dog Pound is on Michigan State The Michigan defense is ferocious allowing just 13.5 ppg. That said, the Wolverine offense is terrible and while O'Korn might be an improvement at QB, Michigan is still going to have trouble moving the ball and producing points against a pretty good Sparty stop unit that allows just 18.0 ppg. and just held a pretty good Iowa team to just 231 yards of total offense. Mich State is 7-2 L9 in the series, 7-2 L9 as a road dog and has covered four straight at the Big House. The Hook is extra sweet. |
|||||||
10-07-17 | Fresno State -17 v. San Jose State | 27-10 | Push | 0 | 76 h 2 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Winner on Fresno State The Fresno State Bulldogs are 4-0 ATS in their first year under Tedford and just went on the road to pound Nevada in a game they were up 31-0 at the half. SJSU is possibly the worst team in college football, has played seven straight weeks, was blown out by UNLV last week and the defense has been on the field for 100 more snaps than any other stop unit in the country with comparable games. The Spartans bottom 10 in every important handicapping metric. |
|||||||
10-07-17 | Kansas State +5 v. Texas | 34-40 | Loss | -110 | 48 h 19 m | Show | |
DMack will be on Kansas State K State/Texas basically comes down to two words ... Jesse Ertz. If the Wildcat QB will play and if he is reasonably healthy, K State can do some business against Texas which is improving weekly under Herman. The home side has won the last five games in the series but Bill Snyder is a constant, the Cat defense is proven, and K State is 24-9 in their L33 road games catching points. K State gets a confident nod. |
|||||||
10-07-17 | SMU +7 v. Houston | 22-35 | Loss | -125 | 48 h 32 m | Show | |
DMack's Dog Pound is on SMU Not much brain surgery here. SMU has one of the most explosive offenses in the country and is actually No.3 in the country in scoring at 48+ ppg. The Mustangs have played a very representative schedule which included TCU and the Stangs managed to drop 36 on a very good TCU team. Houston is an OK team with no playmakers for new HC Major Applewhite. The Cougars are just 1-6-1 as a home fave dating back to last year and just can't trade points with more potent SMU offense. SMU DOES have a big chance to win straight up. |
|||||||
10-07-17 | Virginia Tech -16.5 v. Boston College | 23-10 | Loss | -105 | 17 h 23 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Winner on Virginia Tech The Hokies will be in a foul mood after getting spanked by Clemson last week. Last year, same spot. V Tech gets beat by Tennessee ... the following week beats Boston College 49-0. The Eagles have already lost a pair of ACC games by a 68-17 count. Gobblers by four touchdowns. |
|||||||
10-07-17 | Southern Miss v. UTSA -13 | 31-29 | Loss | -110 | 76 h 36 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Winner on USTA Roadrunners USTA is on a 7-2 ATS run and their Michiganesque defense is ranked No.2 in the country. The Roadrunners are allowing just 38% completions and look to roll in their conference opener. Southern Miss just 15-27 ATS in L42 conference games and the home team has won all three games in the series. Lay it. |
|||||||
10-07-17 | Miami-FL -3 v. Florida State | 24-20 | Win | 100 | 75 h 40 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Winner on Miami, Florida Canes have lost seven straight to Florida State and will never have a better spot to somewhat settle the score. Richt is a Cane legacy and this is a top priority. The dog is 10-3 in the series, Miami 5-1 L6 as an away fave, 19-9-1 all game ATS run, and 26-3 ATS in the L29 straight up road wins. Sems season shot with Francois injury. Also missing two starting OL which resulted in Wake getting 11 first half tackles for losses last week. |
|||||||
10-07-17 | UL-Monroe -5 v. Texas State | 45-27 | Win | 100 | 72 h 46 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Winner on UL Monroe Texas State tries hard and plays decent defense but is up against it vs. a ULM that is looking for a third straight win for the first time since 2013. The Warhawks are 9-w L12 as an away favorite and even tear gas (joke) hasn't kept ULM out of the endzone. Monroe by 17. |
|||||||
10-07-17 | Temple v. East Carolina OVER 61 | 34-10 | Loss | -110 | 69 h 24 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAF Total of the Week is on Temple/East Carolina Over 60 Temple is ranked No.121 in the nation on offense but has played a string of very tough defensive teams to start the year and finally take a step down in class to a team somewhat in their league. I've seen the Owls play three times this year and by the eye test they do some things well including throw the ball which they should be able to do against ECU's No.130 (last of 130 FBS teams)ranked defense that allows 50.6 points and 616 yards (that is not a typo) per game. The Pirate offense is doing some things well, like passing the football (No.14), the result from constantly playing from behind. ECU has found the end zone against some pretty good teams and not necessarily during garbage time. Play the Over. |
|||||||
10-06-17 | Boise State -8 v. BYU | 24-7 | Win | 100 | 81 h 38 m | Show | |
DMack's Friday Night Feeding Frenzy is on the Boise State Broncos The home team has won the last five games of this series but this not your ordinary year. BYU is 0-4 against FBS opposition being outscored 126-43 in those four games. The Cougar offense has been terrible (No.125 total offense and No.128 points scored) under BYU legend Ty Detmer and injuries have BYU down to its third-string quarterback. Boise is no great shakes and looked bad in last week's National TV blowout home loss to Virginia. That said, a good spot here for Broncos who had Washington State dead to rights in their last roadie and are 33-15 (11-2 L13) as a road fave. Rypien is back to near 100% and should have a big night. Lay it. |
|||||||
10-05-17 | Patriots v. Bucs OVER 55.5 | 19-14 | Loss | -110 | 53 h 18 m | Show | |
DMack's NFL Thursday Night Thunder is on the Pats/Bucs Over The Patriot defense couldn't stop a fat man in the preseason and everyone scoffed. Well, it's carried over into the regular season with no end in sight. The Pats have given up 33+ points in three of their four games this season and are 0-2 when they score less than 36 points themselves. History meaningless here as the series is rarely played and in fact, this is New England's first visit since 1997. The Tampa Bay offense is No.9 in the NFL and the team is No.3 (277 per) in passing. The Muscle Hamster (Doug Martin) returns from suspension and will only make things better with the Bucs able to run the ball. This one will be a shootout and wouldn't be shocked to see both teams in the 30s. Play the Over. |
|||||||
10-04-17 | Arkansas State -7 v. Georgia Southern | 43-25 | Win | 100 | 16 h 38 m | Show | |
DMack's Wednesday Sunbelt Super Play is on Arkansas State Arkansas State has a very classic M.O. It plays several big non-conference money games against strong Power Five schools and then runs roughshod through the Sunbelt where they've won or shared four of the last five regular-season crowns. The Red Wolves are actually in a good spot as a road favorite where they are 5-2 and off a bye where they are also 5-2. They're 11-2 ATS in their L13 Sunbelt tilts and face a Georgia Southern team that is pretty much in freefall in that they cannot throw the ball and are giving up 47 ppg. and are just 4-11 L15 ATS. Wolves will take this game very seriously in that they overcame five turnovers to only win by a point last year. ASU with much the better of the QB play here and rolls 41-17. |
|||||||
10-02-17 | Redskins v. Chiefs UNDER 49 | 20-29 | Push | 0 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
MACK ATTACK MONDAY NIGHT MAGIC is on the Skins and Chiefs Under After a slow start vs. the Eagles in their opener, Washington has run the ball with authority in wins over the Rams and Raiders. Rookie Samaje Perrine has been carrying the bulk of the mail. Kareem Hunt leads the NFL in rushing and the rookie out of Toledo is a threat out of the backfield as well. Running the football means eating clock and extended drives keep the defense fresh. This looks to be a game, of field position, turnovers and breaks and has 20-17 written all over it. Play the Under. |
|||||||
10-01-17 | Giants v. Bucs OVER 44.5 | 23-25 | Win | 100 | 26 h 13 m | Show | |
The Mack Attack NFL Total of the Week is on the Giants/Bucs Over It took the Giants until Game III to finally score a touchdown and they've had their best success forgetting the run and spreading it around by air as Eli is completing 70+% of his passes despite no protection. He'll face a Bucs defense that is riddled with injuries and should basically be able to do what he wants. Tampa Bay only has four touchdowns as well with three of them already starting in enemy territory. Looking for the G-Men to have a big first half here and Tampa Bay doing all it can to catch up. Play the Over. |
|||||||
10-01-17 | Giants +3 v. Bucs | 23-25 | Win | 100 | 19 h 58 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Play on the NY Giants Tampa Bay is a mash unit on defense and at 0-3, can't see Big Blue doing anything other than throwing 50 times downfield. G-Men cannot run the ball and this is a virtual must win. Expecting Big Blue to really get after Jameis as well which will likely mean turnovers and short fields. The Giants have won the last five in the series, four by 10+. Giants easy today. |
|||||||
10-01-17 | Eagles v. Chargers -2 | 26-24 | Loss | -115 | 19 h 57 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack play is on the San Diego Chargers This isn't an often played series but the Eagles haven't won here since 1974. Philly is also decimated with injuries to the backfield and secondary. Wentz just 2-8 as a starter on the road and he'll face a desperate and desperate a Charger team that can be today. Rivers and Melvin Gordon both have a big day as Bolts get their first win in Carson. |
|||||||
10-01-17 | Steelers -2.5 v. Ravens | 26-9 | Win | 100 | 102 h 34 m | Show | |
DMack will be on the Pittsburgh Steelers The Ravens were a flat out no-show in London in what had to be one of the worst performances in recent NFL history. You would have to think in a division rivalry that they would play better here. Especially against a team they dislike. The Steelers haven't played a complete game all year and-and you would hope that all the locker room distractions have been worked out. Too many weapons on this team to play this poorly and with 25% of the season over today, thinking that this might be the week that Bell plays like Bell and unloads. Pittsburgh 30-10. |
|||||||
10-01-17 | Panthers v. Patriots -9 | 33-30 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 55 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Week IV NFL Game of the Week is on the New England Patriots The Panthers are 19-9-1 as a road dog under Rivera so the first inclination would be to grab the points. That said, with the Panther injuries and lack of big play power, can't see how Carolina can keep up having scored 3 TDs in 28 drives this year vs. 12 TDs in 35 drives for the Pats. Drew Brees showed how to dissect the Carolina defense last week. If we put the Pats on a conservative 35 here, even against the Patriot defense, how does Cam and Co. get 27 of their own ??? Lay it. |

10-01-17 | Jaguars v. Jets OVER 38 | 20-23 | Win | 100 | 16 h 51 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Play is a on the Jags/Jets Over The Jets can't stop the run and that's what the Jags do well. The Jags are great when they as in Sacksonville mode and pressure the passer but when they don't, they get burned with slants and crossing patterns which the Jets do fairly well with their kids. The Flyboy problem is not moving the football, it's getting points other than FGs when they are down close. I have both teams in the 20s in this one. |
|||||||
10-01-17 | Lions v. Vikings -2 | 14-7 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 49 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner is on the Minnesota Vikings The Vikes haven't missed a beat with Keenum who has put up big numbers and is better vertically down the field than Bradford. The Lions have played great to this point and should really have beaten Atlanta but still can't put Stafford lack of success vs winning teams and on the road (less than 200 yards passing in only road game vs. Giants). Vike defense steps up here as Minny rolls winning by double-digits. |
|||||||
10-01-17 | Saints -2.5 v. Dolphins | 20-0 | Win | 100 | 98 h 26 m | Show | |
DMack's London Calling II play is on the New Orleans Saints This is a terrible travel spot for the Dolphins who have scored just 15 points in four trips to the red zone this year.The Fish are just 6-25 on third down and will have a load full here with an energized Whodat outfit that completely shut down the Panthers and had Cam running for his life. The New Orleans offense not surprisingly has moved the ball against everyone its faced but has also settled for FGs instead of touchdowns. Saints third roadie in four weeks but still have enough bullets in the holster with a bye on deck. |
|||||||
09-30-17 | California +14 v. Oregon | 24-45 | Loss | -115 | 88 h 46 m | Show | |
DMack Bonus Play for Subscriptions is on the Cal Bears The new Cal HC is an ex-Duck from Eugene and that fact won't be lost on the players. Wilcox has done a nice job changing the culture and showing that you can still have a wide open offense and still play defense. Cal hurt in 10-point loss to USC last year but that with six turnovers. Clean slate here keeps the Bear in the hunt throughout against the non-tackling Oregon defense. |

09-30-17 | San Jose State v. UNLV -12 | 13-41 | Win | 100 | 89 h 25 m | Show | |
DMack's Graveyard Earn While You Sleep is on UNLV I've lived in Las Vegas since 1991 so I've seen some good and a lot of bad with this UNLV program. Tonight we lay double-digits with a Vegas team that is 1-8 in that role last nine and playing a team they haven't beaten in 25 years. Why ??? UNLV returns home for the first time since September 2nd when it shattered every Las Vegas Sports Book record by losing straight up to FCS Howard as a whopping 44-point home favorite. They'll look to get that taste out of their mouth vs. a SJSU team that plays for the sixth straight week and versus a defense that has been on the field for more than 100 snaps more than any stop unit in FBS football. Rebs do run the ball with authority and should run for 300+ here. The Spartans have committed 17 turnovers in five games and that should have the Rebels pressuring the head all game long. Tonight's the night for UNLV ... Rebs 49-27. |

A DMack Power Pack winner is on Clemson Clemson was understandably flat last week before turning on the jets late versus Boston College. The still young Tigers play up and down to their opposition so expect complete effort here much like we saw against Auburn and Louisville. Hokies in revenge mode after dropping ACC Championship game to Clemson last year 42-35 but the spot is different here and Clemson "D" does the rest. Clemson 35-17. |

A DMack Power Pack winner is on Oklahoma State Okie State must scramble now to get back into contention in the Big 12 after getting handled rather easily by TCU. Okie State has won eight straight in the series and also on a 9-3 L12 ATS run. Tech getting lots of love at the window this week as the Raiders can play a little defense this year but in the end, it's just Rudolph having another monster day with all his weapons. |

A DMack Power Pack winner is on UL Monroe Monroe almost let one get away last week in their rivalry game with Lafayette last week, giving up a 21-yard TD pass on the final play that forced OT. Monroe just 5-11 L16 as home chalk but don't mind laying wood here against the still not ready for prime time Chaticleer who punked 52-10 by FCS Western Illinois in last. |

MACK ATTACK SATURDAY NCAAF UPSET SPECIAL is on the Iowa Hawkeyes Despite getting outgained by 300 yards, Iowa was still in a position to beat Penn State until the final whistle. Ferentz will have his team right back on its horse and ready to play here. Mich State dug itself an impossible whole by turning the ball over early against Notre Dame and then having no way back. You might remember that the last time these two met was in the 2015 Big Ten Championship game where Sparty scored in the final 27 seconds to get the win. Hawkeye ground and pound the story here as Iowa gets the win in wire-to-wire fashion. |

09-30-17 | Connecticut v. SMU -17.5 | 28-49 | Win | 100 | 83 h 56 m | Show | |
DMack will be on the SMU Mustangs The Mustangs did some nice things in their 3-1 non-conference play. The lone loss was to TCU and the Stangs scored 36 points and were competitive throughout against the Horned Frogs. Stangz are No.5 in the nation in scoring offense at 48 ppg. and face a UConn outfit that has allowed 1680 yards of offense in just three games, one of which was against Holy Cross. The Huskies are also on a short week having played a rare Sunday game last week, a home loss to lowly East Carolina. UConn also on a 9-18-1 run getting points. Randy Edsall has to be wondering what he got himself back into and faces a team that averages 174 ypg. more than their opponents. SMU 51-19. |

09-30-17 | Navy -6 v. Tulsa | 31-21 | Win | 100 | 81 h 10 m | Show | |
DMack's "RUN IT UP" Play is on the Navy Midshipmen Just a complete stylistic mismatch here. Both teams run the football, but one can stop the run and the other can't. Navy is just off a 569-yard rushing performance against Cincinnati and figure to do a lot of business against a Tulsa team that allows and an average of 295 ypg. on the ground and is just off a game where it allowed 338 to an option team (New Mexico) who doesn't do it anywhere near as well as the Middies. Navy by 20. |

DMack Bonus Play for Subscriptions is on the Army Cadets Last year, the Cadets emotionally charged after losing a teammate in a car accident during the week, dropped 66 points on UTEP on their home field of the Sun Bowl. Army running for 366 per while the Miners average 62 per and don't throw the ball well. Laying double-digits with Army has been suicide in the past but not here against a train wreck with the wheels come off. |

09-30-17 | Vanderbilt +9 v. Florida | 24-38 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
A DMack Power Pack winner is on Vanderbilt Commodores Vandy had given up just 13 points in three games before getting spanked by a disrespected Bama team last week. The Florida name must still have equity as the officials gave them the game last week at Kentucky. The last two years, this game ended Florida 9-7 and 13-9. Lock for another defensive slobberknocker here today. |

09-30-17 | Maryland v. Minnesota -13 | 31-24 | Loss | -102 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
A DMack Power Pack winner is on the Minnesota Gophers Say what you want about Fleck and his "Row the Boat" stuff. The guy can coach and has the Gophers unbeaten and ready for Big Ten play which starts against a Terp squad down to their third quarterback and a team nowhere near what went down to Texas and won in early September. Minnesota 31-10. |

09-30-17 | South Florida v. East Carolina OVER 73.5 | 61-31 | Win | 100 | 6 h 16 m | Show | |
DMack Week V NCAAF Super Total is USF and East Carolina Over With East Carolina No. 124 against the run, No.129 against the pass, and No.130 overall ... it's hard to see how SFU doesn't drop 50-60 on the Pirates in very short order. East Carolina has been moving the ball and scoring in albeit the wrong end of blowouts. If the Bulls get 50+ and they will, not much heavy lifting for the Pirates. |

09-29-17 | Miami-FL v. Duke +7 | 31-6 | Loss | -115 | 60 h 52 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAF Friday Night Feeding Frenzy is on the Duke Blue Devils Duke has been our star performer in 2017 as we've used them multiple times and have always gotten the money. Great spot for the Dukies here as they are 5-1 L6 as a home dog and getting a full touchdown to a team that has beaten them 11 of 12. The Devil upperclassmen have to remember the game here two years ago when Miami was gifted a kickoff return win on the final play of the game (two knees touch + two forward laterals same play), a play that set the Duke program back two years and a loss that they are just recovering from now. This is Miami's first road game of the year and Duke can definitely throw the ball around and test a secondary that gave up 344 at home to Toledo last week. Duke straight up. |

09-28-17 | Bears v. Packers -6.5 | 14-35 | Win | 100 | 9 h 21 m | Show | |
DMack's Thursday Night Thunder is on the Green Bay Packers If not for the short week and the myriad of Packer injuries, this line would likely be close to if not double-digits. Just a great overall spot for Green Bay who is 12-2 L14 in the series and catches the Bears fat and a happy after OT win over Steelers that puts them in 10-20-1 ATS spot off a win to add to a 5-12-1 ATS run in NFC North road games. Packer HC McCarthy 12-6-1 ATS in September, Pack 7-1 ATS L8 as TNF home fave and Rodgers 36-17 ATS LT mark hosting division rivals. It goes on and on but you get the idea. Take the Packers. |

09-28-17 | Texas v. Iowa State +5 | 17-7 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Texas/Iowa State Big 12 Super Play is on the Iowa State Cyclones I really like the job that Campbell is doing with the Cyclones. ISU was very unlucky in rivalry loss to Iowa and dominated Northern Iowa and Akron in other games. Texas is off an OT loss to Southern Cal and a bye but on the road here with a defense that allowed slightly less than 1000 yards in losses to Maryland and the Trojans. Herman still has work today and faces a team that won't be intimidated after blanking the Horns 24-0 the last time they visited, is 5-1 as a home dog under this coach. Just read where Herman was 0-7 as road chalk at Houston when not off a win of greater than 29 points which certainly is not the case here. Iowa State 34-27. |

09-25-17 | Cowboys v. Cardinals +3.5 | 28-17 | Loss | -115 | 77 h 10 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Monday Night Magic is on the Arizona Cardinals This game basically comes down to just one thing. Is Carson Palmer as bad as he's played in the first two games. We'll give him one last benefit of the doubt in the Cards home opener. The Cards had more turnovers than touchdowns in their first two games on the road but figure to be better here. Palmer will be throwing against an injury-riddled secondary that was just shredded by Trevor Simien. Cards 3-1 SU and ATS L4 home openers and 4-2 as a home dog under Ariens although that has not happened in three years. Cards have won the last four in the series and really need this one. The hook helps if you can get it early ... it likely won't be there at game time. Arizona 23-20. |

09-24-17 | Raiders -3 v. Redskins | 10-27 | Loss | -110 | 53 h 13 m | Show | |
DMack Raiders/Skins Sunday night Magic is on the Oakland Raiders The Raiders look like they are just going to beat up people this year. Under Del Rio, this team has found a way to win on the road after going almost a decade without. The Black and Silver is even 4-1 L5 as a road favorite and face a suspect Skins outfit after scoring 9 TDs in just 19 drives and averaging better than eight yards per pass ATTEMPT. On the other hand, Washington defense 269 through the air in two games. Did I mention that Oakland is yet to turn the ball over ??? Oakland 30-20. |

09-24-17 | Seahawks +3 v. Titans | 27-33 | Loss | -110 | 125 h 47 m | Show | |
DMack NFL Power Pack winner on the Seahawks The Seahawks are 11-5-1 L16 as road dog while the Titans are just 5-9 ATS L14 as a home fave and 1-5 ATS as a non-divisional home fave. Hawk defense still nails and held Pack to just 17 points in the opener. Seattle's one touchdown in two games is a concern but Russell Wilson should have things figured out by now. Hawk offensive line and backfield getting healthier by the day. |

09-24-17 | Browns v. Colts +1 | 28-31 | Win | 100 | 121 h 16 m | Show | |
DMack NFL Power Pack winner on the Colts Thank you for your patience, I've been traveling and just got back to Las Vegas Sure the Colts are not very good but how can the Browns be favored over anybody, especially on the road where they are 1-20 L21 straight up. The Browns are 5-24 on third downs while the Colts have just 22 points in two games. In the end, like home field and Brissett (who now has a game and a half and two full weeks practice under his belt since Pats deal) who in our opinion has much more upside than Kizer. |

09-24-17 | Giants v. Eagles -5.5 | 24-27 | Loss | -115 | 121 h 10 m | Show | |
DMack NFL Power Pack winner on the Eagles My ex-girlfriends always told me ... show me, don't tell me. As a graduate of Rutherford (NJ) High School Class of 1978 ... that's how I feel about the Giants who are getting a lot of love again this week despite two terrible performances, a short work week and the fact that Big Blue has lost their L3 visits here by a combined 78-26. Wentz is a killer at home and the Eagles will wear the G-Men down late for an easy cover. |
