Taking the TITANS. How the heck are the Raiders a favorite. Did we not see them blow a 20pt lead at home. I mean. Why do I think plenty of teams will be run out of games by the Bills. Pretty sure we saw that happen to the defending Super Bowl Champs on their own field opening night. Must win for both teams. Only one has a real NFL HC. Guess who that is. Humiliated on MNF - big time souring on Tennessee by everyone. Raiders never play good crossing time zones East. They have their own set of problems to sort out. Home dog in a must win. Sign me up. 5* Best Bet TENNESSEE TITANS

Taking KANSAS. Cue up the Hoops Talk for this game. Totally sick of that between these guys and Syracuse. Anyways - Jayhawks. Yes. This is a a big number for a team that has been a doormat for years. But this is Duke coming to town. A team that isn't that great themselves. Temple is bad. NC A&T is worse. Northwestern. That team just lost to Southern Illinois. That's a good win? Duke allowed 500+ yards to them. Sign me up for the home team. Go on the road and beat West Virginia in OT by 8 as 14 point dogs. No let down. On the road and a 48-30 beatdown of Houston on the road again as double digit dog at opener. Much more impressive. Let us look to the end of last season also. Upset Texas, on the road 57-56 in OT as 30 point dogs. Lose on a last second FG the next week on the road at TCU 31-28. Then lose at home to West Va 34-28 after those 2 close calls. This is a young team growing. Growing pains last year late. Wins this season early. 4* Money Maker KANSAS JAYHAWKS

Taking VIRGINIA TECH. We faded these guys vs OD to start the year. But they have turned things a round by beating BC and Wofford. Don't be alarmed by 27-7 win and not covering 38 vs Wofford. They were off the 27-10 BC win and have this matchup on deck. While West Virginia was running up a 65-7 win vs Towson. That is what you have to do when you are 0-2 and coming off a 55-42 OT home to Kansas. Run it up vs a 'buy-win' team. The West Va hot seat will be on full burner after they lose outright here. JT Daniels has gone from USC to Georgia to West Virginia. He played 11 games as freshman for the Trojans! Clearly not the answer at QB. Hokies defense is the difference makers vs this. 4* Money Maker VIRGINIA TECH

They will get some real NFL type players today. And honestly, I question this Ravens offense. Lamar is great. I think he doesn't get proper respect sometimes.

Taking FLORIDA STATE. Yes Yes Yes. I know I said I like UL to go over their win total. But I haven't liked much of what we have seen the first 2 weeks. A game at Syracuse where you get steamed up to 5/6 pt fave and get demolished 31-7. Then, in basically a circle the wagons type of game for your Hot Seat HC, you upset UCF for the 2nd straight year 20-14. 2 long TDs called back a 2 minute drill stop save you from another road loss. Now - you get FSU. Another HC feeling the heat. They beat LSU basically in a home game for LSU. 2 straights win and 4 of 6 over the Noles for UL. But for me - I see some FSU run game here. 200 yards allowed in both games so far for the Cards. I think this team is going to take it right down ULs throats. These guys were in control of the entire game vs LSU. Don't let that 24-23 fool you. Late TDs. Wild finish. But you know what. A good team will withstand that. That is something a struggling team builds on. These guys have lost to UL enough. Time for some payback. 4* Money Maker FLORIDA STATE

I don't even like typing this clowns name out. He blew the 28-3 lead for the Falcons. He had the Niners up what, 20-10 in the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl over the Chiefs. Last year, San Fran led the Rams 17-7 in the 4th of last year NFC Championship Game. You want to blame Matt Ryan or Jimmy G. Not the defenses for blowing the leads.

Let's not forget last year either 31-0, 31-3 -- That is 62-3 for those who can't count Indy over Houston. No lack of motivation for the home team. It will be a grinder.

Taking MIAMI here. We'll just start with the Dolphins 8-2 ATS last 10 vs the Patriots here in South Beach with outright wins in 4 of 5. Now the Patriots come in off a bad pre-season. The offense looks bad. Matt Patricia and Joe Judge, 2 guys canned as HC's, one a Defensive coach, the other Special Teams, now running the offense. I really don't like taking a lot of stock in pre-season. Now - I expect a bad joint practice vs the Raiders and their old offensive coaches. But against Carolina too? Mac Jones is taking a step back this season. Miami looking to build off a strong second half. 4* Money Maker MIAMI DOLPHINS

Taking the GATORS. Right off the bat, a little concerned. Although I don't really worry about 'polls' - going from way unranked to Top 15. Not what I want to see. I want unranked Florida favored over 'ranked' Kentucky. Wildcats looked bad last week. You need a run game. Their best guy is out. Go look at that box score last week 10-10 in the 2nd until a FG as time expired. Open 3rd with a KO return TD. A fumble recover to a TD to make it 27-17. They had 50 yards on 26 carries. That won't cut it in The Swamp. I don't care how much a let down you think there might be. Gators opened as a fave over Utah. The Utes hype pushed it the other way. This Florida team was in the SEC a couple years ago. It isn't like they fell off a cliff. Great new HC. Made all the plays on offense and defense that a good team will do. 4* Money Maker FLORIDA GATORS

Now I see this line creeping to the 4 range. Makes sense though. Houston off a wild game. A big 4th quarter comeback - Take a lead with 23 seconds left- Blow a lead as time expires.- Then, 3 Over Times for the win! Emotions running high again for another in-state battle. TT with a backup QB. That's OK. Kid was sharp last week and was MVP of the Liberty Bowl vs an SEC team.

They haven't played defense there in years working on their 3rd DC in 3 seasons. Nice big win last week for them. Super. K-State going through the motions vs South Dak. Now you see the SEC as a decent dog and think this is a no brainer? I think the Wildcats run on these guys. Granted, QB Martinez from Nebraska, yes that kid who was pretty good as freshmen, has yet to live up to expectations. But he's a kid who has played in big games. And with this HC, I think he shines this season. Especially vs a struggling defense. Big home game for KSt. I think they get it done by double digits. 4* Money Maker KANSAS STATE

Taking the RAMS. Ok. Not a huge home field advantage if any. We know this. Everyone loves Burrow. Kid is a flat out stud. Come on. First NFL Playoff run and he is in the Super Bowl. But let us look at the way the Bengals arrived. Last second INT at home to preserve a win. A game that shouldn't have even come to that but they couldn't score. Next week. They get gifted Tannehill INTs like he is giving out Halloween candy and still needed a miracle finish. Then, deja-vu all over again. Get down double digits to KC. Chiefs forget their are two halves to a game. People are shocked their OC can't get a HC job but he has 3 points with Mahomes, Kelce and Hill vs Cincy in 4+ quarters of football with the game on the line. Rams said we need a new QB to get to SB. Guess they forgot their old QB took them to a Super Bowl, and was beat by Brady. Where was the offense guru HC in that barn-burner? Look. easy to grab the points if you like Cincy. Actually, - if you like Cincy take them to win by less than 8 points. You can lay -110 and get an extra 4 points. Rams have been here before. It matters. Basically a rookie QB and a young HC still learning. I think Rams win this one by 10. That Cincy OL has been playing with fire and I think they get burned tonight. 8* Sure Shot LA RAMS

Taking the RAMS. Have to say. And I have said this the last 2 weeks as I go against the Niners. I like this team. We had win total and division tickets on San Fran. I say all the time this team is hamstrung by injuries. I think people forget they had a lead in the Super Bowl vs the Chiefs. I cannot knock them at all. Huge comeback in Week 17 got them into the playoffs. And yeah, we can say - 4 straight road games. Well 2 are in LA vs a team that has zero home field and fans for SF will be here cheering them on. Maybe I look to the Under again as we have had the last 2 SF playoff games. And let us look at those. One. Dallas. I'm a Cowboys fan. But the coaching is terrible and, well, Niners did hold on for the win. But don't forget that Jimmy G did throw a late INT in that one and it nearly cost them. Then in GB. Packers score on the first drive and then take the rest of the game off! A blocked FG to end the half that would have been 10-3 GB. A blocked Punt returned for a TD at 10-3 (13-3) for a 10-10. I mean, 10 guys on the field for the Packers on the final GW FG attempt. What a cluster of errors. And to be great, you need to catch some breaks. And SF has caught them all so far. Gucci Garoppolo 11-19 131 yards 1 INT vs GB. 16-25 172 yards 1 INT vs Dallas. He had 2 INTs in the season finale comeback vs the Rams. Stafford out-Brady-ed Brady in Tampa. I think people will see the Rams collapse in Week 18 vs SF and the near collapse vs TB and think they are ripe for the fall. We have 2 very good SB HCs going at it here. The smallest of smallest edge to the home team. I think Stats Padford. Matt Statsford Pads Statford, I mean Matt Stafford makes the plays over Jimmy G. 4* Money Maker LA RAMS

Taking the CHIEFS. Playoff revenge tour in full swing. Can we really get anything better in these Championship Games than what we have seen so far in these playoffs? Totally unbelievable games. So KC dispatched Bills who upset them at home. Now on tap are the Bengals who rallied back from 21-7 and 28-14 down to win 34-31 on a last second FG. Now. I thought the Titans would take care of Cincy last week. And again. Not knocking Cincy. But even when we backed them vs the Raiders, we really need an INT on the 1 to preserve a W. That game shouldn't have been close but Cincy couldn't finish. Then vs the Titans they get 3 INTs from Tannehill, a bumbling mess. I will tell you this, 4 FGs will not cut it against the Chiefs. Too much experience, and winning, playoff experience for KC here. Burrow is great. But Mahomes and Company have been in this spot for now 4 straight years. I'm laying it. 4* Money Maker KC CHIEFS

But, we still get Rodgers throwing 4 TD passes here. I do like SF. You know this. We had a future win ticket and NFC West ticket on them. Should have had them ML last week as I thought the line should have been 4.5-5.5. Dumb move by me. But still a nice weekend of Wild Card action going 3-1 heading into Monday and us backing the Rams.

But it is January after 18 weeks of football. There is zero shot of me getting behind this Pitt offense. Chiefs defense really turned it up the 2nd half of the year. Don't be fooled by 34-28 OT over LAC or 34-31 L at Cincy. Those offense are miles ahead of the Steelers and what they bring to the table. Didn't we just see a 36-10 win here after Christmas? I can't see how it's not the same.(we also have the UNDER) But I can't see Pitt getting more than 16. Give me Reid and Mahomes at home in the Playoffs.

I thought this line would be higher based on the Cowboys dropping 51 and 56 on the Eagles and Washington. But you lay a clunker vs a playoff team and lose at home to Arizona and people react. And I do like SF. We had a SF NFC West future and over 10.5 ticket. So I am not one to sell them short. I want to even grab the Under here. The Dallas defense I think can rattle Jimmy G. They have 2 absolute studs on D with Diggs and Parsons this season who are just disruptors right now. Kittle, Deebo - yeah great weapons. I just think as much as Dallas has the #1 offense in the league, this is a defense team. We have seen Dak lay eggs with this offense. I just think their is too much offense for SF to slow down. They are in off a big game over the Rams. Maybe they start out a little slow here. Dallas should take advantage. Both OC/DC guys are being looked at for HC jobs. So you know they don't want to bomb out in the Wild Card round. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOY

Thought I had a decent number at +8 and 9 early. Wasn't meant to be. Now they get a rematch against Bama who rolled them in the SEC Championship. It is the last game of the year. We aren't going crazy. The defense will make their adjustments. Their offense seemed to be in sync vs the Wolverines. I think the Metchie loss will be felt more here than they needed vs Ciny. There is really nothing I can say about Alabama. ML the Tide if you like them. They run game was a beast with Robinson going for 200 vs Cincy. That is Cincy. Not Georgia. He went 16 for 55 vs the Bulldogs. It was Young hitting Williams for 180+ yards and Metchie for just about another 100 and 3 TDs for the duo that led Alabama. Hey. If Young comes out with another 400 yarder, what can I do. Bennett no slouch. He had 340 vs Tide, 2 INTs hurt. But solid vs Michigan for 310 and 3 TDs. It is tough to gage that game since they were in control the entire time. Almost like a tune up for both teams coming into the Championship. Putting my faith in Kirby to get the pass defense ready for Alabama. I think we see a new SEC National Champion. Take the GEORGIA BULLDOGS tonight.

Add in that NE can win the AFC East with a win and Bills loss - no way they don't come out and play hard here the entire game. Might actually be looking at the UNDER in this game also.

Taking CLEVELAND. Bad number for us on MNF with the Browns but it wouldn't have mattered anyway. Hopefully we get a benched Baker here and we can grind out a win with the run game. Utterly humiliated on MNF, I think we get a strong game today. Asking a lot. Probably. This is Cleveland. But I think they rally here for the fans and their own pride. Cincy with a way outside shot at the 1 seed. I can't see them risking Burrow all game here. Mixon could be out also. Plus. Off that huge comeback win over KC, I think this is a flat spot even vs a division rival. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND BROWNS

Taking KANSAS STATE. How the heck do you bet LSU here? New HC coming to town. You have opt outs. You have a back up QB. And you have LSU, big bad SEC LSU playing on a Tuesday night in the Tax Act Texas Bowl -- vs K-State. And this isn't New Years Day Tuesday or New Years Eve Tuesday in January. This is 3 days after the party? Are they pumped up? I doubt it. LSU could have left it all on the field in the Win one for the Gipper finale over A&M for Coach O. Wildcats a tough team. The coach will have these guys focused and you know they would love nothing better than to knock off the Tigers. 5* Best Bet KANSAS STATE

Taking the BROWNS. Man. The Steelers just seem to always hang around games. And well the Browns, well Cleveland seems to lose a lot of games they should win. This team was thought to be a division winner and maybe a Super Bowl dark horse. Hello 7-8. Probably Big Ben's last game at home. Yeah. Lot of emotion. Will that make him a better player today? Browns still talented. Maybe it is because I can't stand Pitt, but I think Cleveland wins this by 10. Yes 10! If they just pound the ball they will break this defense. And their defense is good enough to get a turnover or two. Pitt hasn't score a TD in the first half in it's last 5 games! And we had Pitt vs the Titans. We also had GB over Cleveland. Off 4 INTs, you can't be worse Baker. The loser is out of the playoffs. Winner wins out and maybe wins division. I know the urge here is to go Big Ben and the home dog Steelers. Something seems off to me. Road fave gets the nod. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND BROWNS

Taking the PACKERS. Maybe Rodgers lays an egg. But for me, the guy is the MVP. This team is just unbelievable. Always winning the NFC North. 13-3 seasons like its normal. I mean, a HOF QB. A great WR. The RB is no slouch. The defense makes plays when it has too. A home field like none other. They get Minny now with a back up QB. This line has doubled. Well. Hopefully you got it at around 7. 13 is steep, but I won't be shocked to see a big win here at home. I think Zimmer is on the way out. 4* Money Maker GREEN BAY PACKERS

Taking DALLAS. This line getting a bit high, but I think with good reason. Cowboys demolished a depleted WFT on national TV. You know the money will coming in on them. We had the Colts over Arizona last week. We said in Mid Day Money to take the Lions over Arizona the week before. And we said Rams ML the week before that. 3 straight losses as a favorite. A 7-0 start and MVP Murray chants have gone the wayside. This team is not playing well. 3-5-7. I don't think it matters. Hopkins status? Murray health? The kicking last week? Look. Dallas can lay an egg. We saw that on Thanksgiving. And Dak had been just average before breaking out on Sunday night. But the Dallas Defense has been pretty consistent. A 4-0 December, 3 on the road, the Boys look tough. Arizona with road game 4 in 6 weeks and since that 7-0 is now 3-5. We know Dallas is an ATS burner at home over the years with inflate name value lines. But 12-3 ATS this season, and I will ride them again this afternoon. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS

Taking the COLTS. I think Wentz is playing. 5,6,7,8,9. Indy by double digits. Look. Raiders to me, still a mess. Beating Denver? They have beaten the Broncos 4 straight. Plus, they faced a backup QB on the road. Oh, the Browns. Again, a backup QB. Maybe they are lucky enough to get 3rd straight backup QB lining up under center against them. I doubt it. NFL changed the rules the day the Wentz news came out. Colts will hammer these guys with their run game no matter who is under center. Their coach is good enough even with a backup where I have faith in him to make the right calls. Colts defense #2 in takeaways on the season. Vegas will make mistakes. 4* Money Maker INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

Taking the PATRIOTS. Huge number. I will say it often that you don't make money laying double digits in the NFL. But there is no way, well, maybe if you give me 21.5, that I would take the Jaguars. Back to back losses for NE. Last week here vs Buffalo. You know that is a stinger. HC will not be happy. We know his edge vs rookie QBs. Now he gets one having a miserable year. A team having a miserable year. A team with no HC. A team that should have won, but you see why this franchise is how it is. 1st and goal inside the 5, and, nothing. I can't see them bouncing back from that. 7 straight losses. January in New England. Weather probably a bit chiller than Jacksonville. This offense is putrid. NE defense will probably do what the Titans did and get a couple INTs. This offense won't squander them - again, off 2 straight losses, 33 and 27 points allowed. Jags putting up 12 a game and have lost 16 straight on the road. I'm saying NE 34-11. 4* Money Maker NE PATRIOTS

Taking WASHINGTON 56-14 is all people will remember heading into this one. I thought I would be able to get around 6, maybe closer to kick off. We last saw that Sunday night beatdown. We also remember Philly winning by 10 at home putting up 500 yards of offense. Let us not forget the 4 straight WFT wins before that. Before covid hit. Before they ran out a QB off the street last week. Look. For me. This is straight pride play. You give up 56 on national TV in front of your peers. You are facing a team that ran over 2 weeks ago. If you are any kind of man, you are ready to go into the stands and tackle Eagles family members. Philly hasn't beaten a team over .500 all year. These guys lost 13-7 to the Giants at the Meadowlands. Then beat the Jets with a rookie QB in Wilson, Garrett Gilbert off the street for WFT and then Mike Glennon and Jake Fromm last week. Get out of here. Heinicke isn't some savior, but he is better than those guys. Won't be shocked if Washington wins outright. 5* Best Bet WFT

Taking NOTRE DAME. No coach. No problem. This team loves the new guy in charge. No lack of motivation. These guys are excited. Plus, they get a shot a big name program like Oklahoma. Who lost their HC and bring back an old HC to coach the bowl game. Why do I think some guys will be opting out for Oklahoma here? Give me the Irish in an absolute blowout. 5* Best Bet NOTRE DAME

Taking MICHIGAN here. This is it for Harbaugh. Time to deliver. You have the same NFL talent as Georgia does. Bulldogs defense very good. But, we have seen them vs Alabama and NFL talent. They can give up points. Wolverines can move the ball. We are also on this OVER. For me, this is really about Harbaugh getting over the hump and delivering. The guy can recruit. He finally got the big win he needed. Huge pressure lifted. I think these guys win outright tonight. 5* Best Bet MICHIGAN WOLVERINES
