01-05-20 | Michigan v. Michigan State -9 | Top | 69-87 | Win | 100 | 1 h 1 m | Show |
Michigan at Michigan State 1:30 ET Spartans (-) over Wolverines- Wait a second here...my first thoughts when viewing this matchup is that the line is awful high considering the rivalry between these two schools. Then when I noticed that #13 Michigan the heavy underdog is ranked higher than the #16 Spartans and that peaks my interest. This 'price' draws even more thought when I see that Michigan is 10-4 AST as an underdog and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall, so why such a high line. After a rocky start Michigan State has reeled off six straight wins with the last winning by an average of 35.5 points. State is 21-10 ATS in their last 31 home game and are 23-8ATS against teams with winning percentage about .600. Take MICHIGAN STATE! |

01-04-20 | Iowa +3 v. Penn State | Top | 86-89 | Push | 0 | 3 h 45 m | Show |
Iowa vs Penn State 2:00 ET Hawkeyes (+) over Nittany Lions- Two more Top-25 ranked teams in the Big Ten hook-up at the Palestra in Philadelphia a place where neither of these two teams have much experience. Both clubs are on 4-game winning streaks with Penn State's biggest win over Maryland at home and Iowa has wins over Cincinnati and Minnesota. After that win State vaulted into the Top-25 the first time that they have been ranked since 1996. Iowa is 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games on neutral sites while the Lions are 16-6-2 ATS in their last 24 games overall. The Hawkeyes are led by Big Ten leading scorer Luka Garza who is averaging 21.6 points and 10 rebounds per game. More big game experience for the Hawkeyes. Take IOWA! |

01-03-20 | Heat v. Magic +2.5 | Top | 85-105 | Win | 100 | 6 h 13 m | Show |
Miami at Orlando 7:00 ET Magic (+) over Heat- Sometimes in sports one team may seem to have another club's 'number' despite the rival being an inferior squad. The Miami Heat have won three NBA titles while Orlando has yet to even appear in an NBA Final and yet the in-state rival has won eight of the last 11 meeting including 3-1 last season. The Heat are 16-1 SU at home but just 9-8 SU on the road and are 1-4-2 ATS in their last seven in Back-to-back contests. Orlando is just 2-5-1 ATS as a home underdog but are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take ORLANDO! |

01-02-20 | St. Mary's v. San Francisco +3 | Top | 69-58 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 21 m | Show |
St. Mary's at San Francisco 11:00 ET Dons (+) over Gaels- Oh gone are the glory days of Bill Russell and K.C. Jones (some need to look that up) when the Dons ruled the college basketball world. Still, at 11-4 San Francisco has become more respectable and are looking to compete in the West Coast conference against the likes of Gonzaga, Brigham Young and tonight St. Mary's. The Gaels have won four straight and 9-of-10 with the lone loss to No. 20 Dayton and are undefeated since. San Francisco is off of an overtime loss to a tough Harvard team but are 3-0 ATS in the last three meetings at home and the home team is 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |
|||||||
01-02-20 | Oregon v. Colorado +110 | Top | 65-74 | Win | 110 | 8 h 39 m | Show |
Oregon at Colorado 9:00 ET Buffaloes (+) over Ducks- This is the Pac-12 opener for both squads with identical 11-2 records but that's where the likeness ends. Oregon is ranked No. 6 in the nation while Colorado isn't even on the pollsters radar. The Buffs lead the series 11-8 including 8-0 in Boulder winning last season 73-51. Their is a conflict of trends surrounding this game as the Ducks are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 road games but the Buffaloes are 7-1 ATS as a home underdogs and the home teams is 10-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take COLORADO! |
|||||||
01-02-20 | Jazz v. Bulls +4 | Top | 102-98 | Push | 0 | 9 h 35 m | Show |
Utah at Chicago 8:05 ET Bulls (+) over Jazz- The Jazz who have won three straight and 8-of-9 going 7-2 ATS are off of their best defensive effort of the season holding the Pistons to just 81 points on Monday. Utah is 5-0 ATS in their last five games overall but are just 105 ATS after a win by 10-points or more. Chicago is off of a beating by Milwaukee but are 8-0 ATS in their last eight games after a straight-up loss. The Bulls are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings including a 114-83 loss in their last meeting. This time take the BULLS! |
|||||||
01-01-20 | Blazers v. Knicks +4 | Top | 93-117 | Win | 100 | 8 h 57 m | Show |
Portland at New York 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over Trailblazers- Things can change pretty quickly in the NBA and the fall of the Trailblazers didn't take long. Portland who made to the Western Conference Finals last season are 14-20 on the years having lost their last four and don't have much hope of making the playoffs at all this season. New York hasn't had aspirations of getting to the post season and they fired their coach David Fizdale when they were 4-19 and they have gone 5-6 since under Mike Miller. The Blazers have won six straight in the series but that ends tonight! Take the KNICKS! |
|||||||
01-01-20 | Wisconsin -2.5 v. Oregon | Top | 27-28 | Loss | -119 | 23 h 16 m | Show |
Wisconsin vs Oregon 5:00 ET Badgers (-) over Ducks- My oh my...The Ducks win the Pac-12 crushing favored Utah and now they show up in the Rose Bowl ands underdog to the Big Ten loser Wisconsin. What I am thinking here is that the Big Ten is that much stronger both physically and probably mentally than their west coast opponents. The Badgers had Ohio State by the short hairs in the Championship game but let it slip away as a 14-point underdog that covered in the loss. I don't know if you get what I'm driving at but I will have the Badgers and so should you. Take WISCONSIN! |
|||||||
01-01-20 | Michigan +8 v. Alabama | Top | 16-35 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 54 m | Show |
Michigan vs Alabama 1:00 ET Wolverines (+) over Crimson Tide- I am really looking forward to watching this contest as there is much to be learned about the Crimson Tide as to who they play this game. Michigan after the way they closed the season getting absolutely destroyed by Ohio State will be ready to erase the memory of that embarrassment. The Tide has been exposed of late failing 0-5 ATS in their last five against Top-10 teams. I believe that Michigan will show more heart here and we will get o see Nick Saban bitch to officials about his own mistakes. Harbaugh wants this one personally! Take MICHIGAN! |
|||||||
12-31-19 | Mavs v. Thunder +2 | Top | 101-106 | Win | 100 | 9 h 11 m | Show |
Dallas at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET Thunder (+) over Mavericks- All eyes will on Luca Doncic tonight to see how he is faring after going into concussion protocol as he averages 28.8 points, 9.5 rebounds and 9.0 assists (really impressive numbers to say the least). Dallas the most improved team in the NBA this season is 10-3 ATS as a favorite and are 15-5-2 ATS after a SU loss and are 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. OKC is 7-2 ATS as a home underdog and are 46-22-3 ATS at home against teams with winning records. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |
|||||||
12-31-19 | Kansas State +3 v. Navy | Top | 17-20 | Push | 0 | 6 h 1 m | Show |
Navy vs Kansas State 3:45 ET Wildcats (+) over Midshipman- If there is a one-man gang in college football this year it is Navy dual threat quarterback Malcolm Perry who scored 21 touchdowns and ran for over 300 yards against Army. But, I know one thing about Kansas State, they will punish you as witnessed in their dominating win over Oklahoma. The Wildcats QB Skyler Thompson provided 22 TD's with 12 passing and 10 rushing and led a more balanced attack. Trends for the Navy are strong as they are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 over and 5-0 ATS in their last five bowl games but they are 4-9-1 ATS against teams with winning records and they are 1-3-1 ATS on neutral sights. Kansas State can provide you with some ammo as they are 39-19-1 ATS in their last 59 games as an underdog and they are 4-0 ATS in non-conference games. Take KANSAS STATE! |
|||||||
12-31-19 | Florida State +4.5 v. Arizona State | Top | 14-20 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 23 m | Show |
Florida State vs Arizona State 2:00 ET Seminoles (+) over Sun Devils- Sometimes certain matchups make you do things that you never though you would. For example, here I am backing the Seminoles after having seen them play a putrid season that saw them cover just four of 12 games and ending the year getting blown out 40-17 in their final game against state rival Florida. Arizona State is off of a pair of great wins defeating Oregon and rival Arizona to close the season after four straight losses. So how about this stuff...ASU is 0-8 ATS in their last eight games as a favorite, they are 1-6 ATS on neutral sites, they are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 bowl games and they are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games overall. FSU having a terrible time with Taggart are 3-9-1 ATS as a dog bowl shine in bowl games going 10-2-1 ATS in their last 13 and 5-1-1 ATS as a bowl underdog. Take FLORIDA STATE! |
|||||||
12-30-19 | Harvard v. San Francisco -5 | Top | 84-81 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 12 m | Show |
Harvard at San Francisco 9:00 ET Dons (-) over Crimson- Sunday I thought it odd that Harvard was favored on the road against a Pac-12 team in California and they delivered with a 71-63 win over the Golden Bears. Now, Harvard going to San Francisco where the Dons have struggled as a home favorite 3-8 ATS and the Crimson are 21-5-1 ATS as road underdogs. But, what gets me here is that the Crimson are favored and defeat a Pac-12 club and yet come up and underdog against a West Coast Conference team. Take SAN FRANCISCO |
|||||||
12-30-19 | Virginia +15 v. Florida | Top | 28-36 | Win | 100 | 10 h 38 m | Show |
Virginia vs Florida 8:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Gators- The moment this matchup was established I knew I liked my side and I haven't wavered since. I understand that there are a number of factors that should deter my side such as Florida is 3-0 in the Orange Bowl winning by an average margin of 15 points. I should also add that Virginia hasn't won a bowl games since 1995. For the most part I am not making the selection based on talent but on these teams previous outings. Florida closed the season with three huge wins including their final over arc rival Florida State 40-17 while Virginia was embarrassed and annihilated in the ACC Championship game by Clemson 62-17. Big effort out of the Cavaliers tonight. Take VIRGINIA! |
|||||||
12-30-19 | Bucks v. Bulls +6.5 | Top | 123-102 | Loss | -101 | 9 h 46 m | Show |
Milwaukee at Chicago 8:00 ET Bulls (+) over Bucks- The day-in-and-day-out riggers NBA play has hit the Bucks as some are ailing including Giannis Antetokounmpo who is nursing a sore back. Milwaukee who wants it known that they believe that the are the leagues best are 21-9-1 ATS on the road against sub-500 teams. But, Chicago has found a groove and have won five of their last six including a 116-81 win as a 9.5-point favorite over Atlanta last time out. The Bulls are 4-1 ATS in their last five and get another win here. Take CHICAGO! |
|||||||
12-29-19 | 49ers v. Seahawks +3.5 | Top | 26-21 | Loss | -120 | 14 h 58 m | Show |
San Francisco at Seattle 8:20 ET Seahawks (+) over 49ers- Oh boy...who's next Steve Largent? The thing that I fear here is the oddsmakers over-reaction to Seattle injured running back situation. The Seahawks now have a pair of running backs that last played with the team in 2015 (Lynch) and 2014 (Turbin) and will still be running the same playbook. Jimmy Garoppolo has led the Niners to this point but I am having trouble with the way he wilted in the first meeting on a Monday Night. San Francisco has lost eight straight in Seattle and now they are installed the favorite...not with me! Take SEATTLE! |
|||||||
12-29-19 | Rockets v. Pelicans +4 | Top | 112-127 | Win | 100 | 8 h 6 m | Show |
Houston at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Rockets- 'Breakup the Pelicans' is the new word around the NBA as New Orleans has put together a three-game winning streak and wins in four of their last five games. Houston who defeated the Nets at home last night is 4-1 ATS in their last five but are 3-7 ATS against teams with a losing record and 3-7 ATS in the last 10 meetings with the Pelicans. Add that Rockets center Clint Capela sat out last night's win and is day-to-day. Take NEW ORLEANS! |
|||||||
12-29-19 | Thunder +4 v. Raptors | Top | 98-97 | Win | 100 | 6 h 9 m | Show |
Oklahoma City at Toronto 6:00 ET Thunder (+) over Raptors- Oklahoma City has made it over the 500 mark with an overtime win at Charlotte Friday and have won five of their last seven and 10 of their last 15 while the Raptors get revenge from a Christmas Day loss to the Celtics. Toronto who is 15-7-1 ATS in their last 23 home games have had problems with the Thunder when hosting. The Thunder are 4-0 ATS in their last four stops in Toronto and and 5-1 ATS in their last six as a road underdog. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |
|||||||
12-29-19 | Harvard -3 v. California | Top | 71-63 | Win | 100 | 5 h 17 m | Show |
Harvard at California 6:00 ET Crimson (-) over Golden Bears- Really now...it seems a bit 'off' that in this meeting of the 'minds' has Harvard an Ivy League school favored on the road 3,000 miles from home against a major conference the Pac-12. This even becomes more interesting when 'we' see that the Bears are 6-1 SU at home and the Crimson are 1-5 ATS in their last six road games. This one smells worst than Boston's and Berkley's politics. Take HARVARD! |
|||||||
12-29-19 | Eagles v. Giants +4 | Top | 34-17 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 58 m | Show |
Philadelphia at New York Giants 4:25 ET Giants (+) over Eagles- This was my first love when I saw the board as the Eagles are coming off of a huge win over Dallas and need just ti win here to win the division crown. The Giants have David Jones back under center and he just had five TD passes against the Redskins and is brimming with confidence. Although Philadelphia is 9-3 ATS their last 12 meetings in New York they are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings overall. The pressure isn't all good for the eagles as a loss here and a Cowboys win would end their season. Guess what, it might happen...take NEW YORK! |
|||||||
12-29-19 | Jets +1.5 v. Bills | Top | 13-6 | Win | 100 | 7 h 51 m | Show |
New York Jets at Buffalo 1:00 ET Jets (+) over Bills- With zero motivation this week Buffalo is locked into their playoff fifth seed win or lose. After losing at New England last week where they had so much vested in that game that the odds makers believe the Bills will be taking this week 'off.' The Buffs are already thinking about Houston their most likely opponent in the Wild Card round. Look for Bell to have a big meaningless day and for the Jets to fly high here. Take NEW YORK JETS! |
|||||||
12-28-19 | Pacers v. Pelicans +1 | Top | 98-120 | Win | 100 | 7 h 30 m | Show |
Indiana at New Orleans 7:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Pacers- The surging Pelicans have won two in-a-row and neither of those wins came at home where they are 0-6 ATS in their last six as hosts. Indiana is off of a heartbreaking loss at Miami last night and are 2-5 ATS in the second of back-to-back contests. For whatever reason the Pacers seem to struggle against New Orleans going 1-6 ATS in the last seven meetings. The improving Pels are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five games and are 15-7 ATS after a win of 10-points or more. Take NEW ORLEANS! |
|||||||
12-28-19 | Iowa State +4 v. Notre Dame | Top | 9-33 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 25 m | Show |
Iowa State vs Notre Dame 12:00 ET Cyclones (+) over Fighting Irish- Let me start by saying that if this match-up was being played during Prime-time it might well be my highest-rated game of the day. No, need to explain other than this game 'must' be bogus. What I see is a club (Notre Dame) that had national aspirations being displayed as a warm-up for the FBS Championship Series and their disappointment has to be huge as they don't even get to play on New Year's Day. Iowa State meets the Fighting Irish for the first time and consider this game the biggest test in school history. Somehow, be it through emotion or officials bad calls the Cyclones storm the Irish. Take IOWA STATE! |
|||||||
12-27-19 | 76ers v. Magic +3.5 | Top | 97-98 | Win | 100 | 7 h 57 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Orlando 7:00 ET Magic (+) over 76ers- The last time Orlando defeated a team with a winning record was in November and that was a home win over the 76ers. Philadelphia is just pounded Milwaukee 121-109 Christmas Day (Megabucks winner) and have won their last three. In that victory the 76ers set a franchise record with 21 3-pointers made and even coach Brett Brown said 'it was just one of those nights.' The Magic just defeated the Bulls at home after having lost their previous three on the road. Philly is 1-4 ATS as road favorites and are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings. Good spot for Sixers letdown. Take ORLANDO! |
|||||||
12-27-19 | Oklahoma State v. Texas A&M -5.5 | Top | 21-24 | Loss | -100 | 20 h 26 m | Show |
Texas Bowl- Houston, TX Oklahoma State vs. Texas A&M 3:45 ET Aggies (-) over Cowboys- I guess this is where the SEC shows its depth and overall strength as the former Big-12 member Texas A&M favored and un-ranked over former rival Oklahoma State. The Cowboys and Aggies meet for the first time in eight years with State having won the past four meetings. A&M wants to atone for the embarrassing way they closed the season with a 50-7 loss to LSU and they are 5-1 ATS after allowing 40 or more points. Now in the SEC, Texas A&M is 11-1 ATS in their last 12 non-conference games. Take the AGGIES! |
|||||||
12-26-19 | Grizzlies +6.5 v. Thunder | Top | 110-97 | Win | 100 | 8 h 1 m | Show |
Memphis at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Thunder- Eight days ago the Grizzlies blew a 24-point led at OKC and have now dropped three of four starting with that 126-122 loss and they followed that by allowing the Spurs to shoot 67% in a 145-115 beating. The Thunder meanwhile have won three more games including comebacks that 24-point comeback and an 18-point comeback win over Chicago. Although Memphis is 3-8 ATS in the last eight meetings in Oklahoma City they are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings overall and are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games as an underdog and 6-2 ATS after an ATS loss. Take MEMPHIS! |
|||||||
12-25-19 | Bucks v. 76ers +3.5 | Top | 109-121 | Win | 100 | 18 h 9 m | Show |
Milwaukee at Philadelphia 2:30 ET 76ers (+) over Bucks- Milwaukee enters Christmas Day the NBA's premier contest as the league's best and are a road favorite against what many consider their toughest road test. The Bucks have won 21 of 22 and have been blowing-out the opposition while the Sixers are stumbling at 1-3-1 ATS in their last five overall. But, Philadelphia raises to the level of their competition as they are 26-9 ATS at home against teams with winning records over 60%. Add that they are 5-1 in their last six as a home dog...take 76ERS! |
|||||||
12-24-19 | BYU v. Hawaii +1.5 | Top | 34-38 | Win | 100 | 26 h 54 m | Show |
Hawaii vs B.Y.U. Rainbow Warriors (+) over Cougars- I wouldn't be all that surprised if the Rainbow Warriors end up the favorite after all they are playing in the Hawaii Bowl for the ninth time in 18 years. But, actually their success has been limited, going 1-4 in the last five. I have a few trends that I believe surround this game as the dog has been good in the Hawaii Bowl 9-3 ATS in the last 12 and teams that repeat a bowl appearance two consecutive years are 6-0 SU in the second game. Take HAWAII! |
|||||||
12-23-19 | Packers v. Vikings -4.5 | Top | 23-10 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 56 m | Show |
Green Bay at Minnesota 8:15 ET Vikings (-) over Packers- There is only one way for Minnesota to win the Division and that is for them to defeat the Packers here and win again next week against beat Chicago at home while Green Bay then must lose at Detroit. The mystery here is how the Packers got into this position with Aaron Rogers not having his best of years and the Packers defense and offense both rank in the bottom half of the league. The Viking are 6-0 SU at home and the home team is 7-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take MINNESOTA! |
|||||||
12-23-19 | Jazz +4.5 v. Heat | Top | 104-107 | Win | 100 | 7 h 50 m | Show |
Utah at Miami 7:00 ET Jazz (+) over Heat- Utah is on a five-game win streak including their last two on the road and look to sweep this 3-game road trip. The Jazz have come alive behind center Rudy Gobert who has had 12 straight double-doubles and is averaging 17.4 points per games and 14.3 rebounds. Miami has had their way with the league to date this season going 13-4 ATS as a favorite and 12-3-1 ATS at home while the Jazz are just 2-7 ATS in their last seven as a road underdog. But, Utah is hot and are 4-1 ATS in the last five visits to Miami. Take the JAZZ! |
|||||||
12-22-19 | Chiefs v. Bears +6.5 | Top | 26-3 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 54 m | Show |
Kansas City at Chicago 8:20 ET Bears (+) over Chiefs- Here we go with the Bears again as the 'public' has played against them week after week with great success as Chicago is just 4-10 ATS on the season. Kansas City is pretty much locked into the third seed in the AFC with a chance to move into the second spot if those above them fail, but for the most part they know that they won't pass either the Ravens or the Patriots. After winning the Division last season the Bears are out of the playoff picture and can approach this game 'pressure' free. Look for the Bears to claw the Chiefs here. Take CHICAGO! |
|||||||
12-22-19 | Clippers v. Thunder +2.5 | Top | 112-118 | Win | 100 | 7 h 58 m | Show |
L.A. Clippers at Oklahoma City 7:05 ET Thunder (+) over Clippers- Oklahoma City opened the season 5-10 but have turned things around since going 9-4 SU and a win here will lift them over .500. Los Angeles is coming off of a 134-109 win at San Antonio last night and there is always a question as to whether Kawhi Leonard will play or not in the second of back-to-backs. The Clippers are 7-2 in their last nine games as favorites but they are just 1-5 ATS in their last six games at OKC and the Thunder are 8-3 in their last 11 as an underdog. Take the THUNDER! |
|||||||
12-22-19 | Yale +5 v. Clemson | Top | 54-45 | Win | 100 | 3 h 28 m | Show |
Yale at Clemson 4:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Tigers- The first thing that drew me to this contest is that an ACC club is such a meager favorite over an Ivy League school. I mean Yale is 9-3 and has won six straight but hasn't played since December 11 when they defeated U Mass. The Bulldogs have three losses two of which came against major conferences as they lost to Oklahoma State and Penn State before starting their current win streak. Clemson had lost four straight before upending mighty Jacksonville. Tigers have no bite and the claws don't exist. Tae YALE! |

12-22-19 | Saints v. Titans +3 | Top | 38-28 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 43 m | Show |
New Orleans at Tennessee 1:00 ET Titans (+) over Saints- Congratulations to Drew Brees who is now the most prolific touchdown passer in NFL history as he is off of an in creditable 29-of-30 completions performance against the Colts. New Orleans who is still trying to improve their playoff seed with have difficulty maintaining the euphoria they experienced last Monday and can get caught by a needy Titans team that mets Houston next week but must win here. Tennessee has won five of the past six meetings and they get the money here. Take the TITANS! |

12-21-19 | Clippers v. Spurs +6 | Top | 134-109 | Loss | -104 | 8 h 45 m | Show |
L.A. Clippers at San Antonio 8:30 ET Spurs (+) over Clippers- What happened the other night? When I tuned in the Clippers had a huge double-digit 15-point halftime lead over the Rockets and then completely fell apart in the 3rd quarter getting out-scored by 18 points and committing number technicals down the stretch. San Antonio climbs back to .500 and has won five of their last eight and are doing it with defense which they play much better at home where they are 73-14 lifetime over the Clippers. Take the SPURS! |

12-21-19 | Rams +7 v. 49ers | Top | 31-34 | Win | 100 | 28 h 33 m | Show |
L.A. Rams at San Francisco 8:15 ET Rams (+) over 49ers- The Rams did their thing last Sunday falling to Dallas 44-21 in 'our' NFC Game of the Year and now go the San Francisco to play the 49ers for their playoff lives. They must win and and again next week against Arizona who defeated them 34-7 in their first meeting. Although the Rams are just 2-6 ATS in the last eight meetings that was before they took the Niners seriously. LA is 7-2 ATS in their last nine road games and 13-6 ATS overall in their last 19 games. San Francisco in the home favorites role is 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 and 2-71- ATS within their conference. Take the RAMS! |

12-21-19 | Washington -3 v. Boise State | Top | 38-7 | Win | 100 | 27 h 42 m | Show |
Washington vs Boise State 7:30 ET Huskies (-) over Broncos- I am looking forward to being in attendance for this game and I'm sure that Boise State will have huge fan support as after all this is the Mountain West Conference Bowl game. The Broncos are 12-1 on the year and yet come up an underdog against a pedestrian 7-5 Washington squad that is truly disappointed in their season. This is an unranked team (the Huskies) that is favored over a No. 21 ranked team with what can be considered a home field advantage. This is Chris Peterson's final game for Washington and it is fitting that he is going up against the school he coached for eight seasons and had an incredible 92-12 SU record. Take WASHINGTON! |

12-21-19 | San Diego State -5.5 v. Utah | Top | 80-52 | Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show |
San Diego State vs Utah 6:30 ET Aztecs (-) over Utes- Undefeated and No. 20 ranked San Diego State (11-0) gets a shot at Utah who is fresh off of an upset win Wednesday night over Kentucky. The Utes shot 55% for that game including 60% with 3-pointers and I don't expect them to have that kind of success against State's defense which ranks 13th nationally surrendering just 56/6 points per contest while holding opponents to 36.7% field goal rate and just 25.8% froM behind the arc. Take SAN DIEGO STATE! |

12-21-19 | Purdue +2.5 v. Butler | Top | 61-70 | Loss | -115 | 3 h 45 m | Show |
Purdue vs Butler 2:30 ET Boilermakers (+) over Bulldogs- No. 1y Butler has just one blemish on their record as they dropped a 53-52 decision at No. 10 Baylor and have shown grit in that loss. Purdue at 7-4 has player the tougher schedule and have defeated then undefeated and No. 7 ranked Virginia. The Boilermakers rely on their defense that allows opponents just 59 points per game and they hold opponents to 24 percent shooting from behind the arc. Take PURDUE! |

12-21-19 | Texans v. Bucs +3.5 | Top | 23-20 | Win | 100 | 20 h 19 m | Show |
Houston at Tampa Bay 1:00 ET Buccaneers (+) over Texans- I this spot for the Buccaneers as they have won their last four and Jamis Winton is the NFL yardage passing leader although her leads the league with 24 interceptions. Houston can clinch the AFC South with a win here four the fourth time in five years. The poorly coach Texans are just 1-6 ATS as a favorite and 1-7 ATS after an ATS win. When big games are on the line you can expect the Texans to fall as they are 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 games in December while Tampa Bay is 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 December games. Take TAMPA BAY! |

Dallas at Philadelphia 8:00 ET 76ers (-) over Mavericks- Philadelphia was handed their first home loss to Miami Wednesday and it was their second consecutive after getting blown out at Brooklyn 109-89. Critics were on Joel Embiid's case a week ago and he responded with a dominating performance at Boston in a 115-109 victory. Since then Embiid has become pedestrian once agin. Dallas who has been outstanding on the road going 10-1 ATS in their last 11 and is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. The Mavericks once again will be without Super-Star Luca Doncic and his absence will be felt here. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

L.A. Lakers at Milwaukee Bucks (-) over Lakers- This is like an old fashion shoot-out between the fastest 'guns' in the West. Both the Lakers and Bucks share the NBA's best record at 24-4 and have been denominate doing it. He funny thing about this matchup is that with all that winning both clubs are coming off of a loss. Milwaukee had an 18-game win streak ended by Dallas 120-110 and look to rebound here against LA. The Lakers got ambushed at Indiana 106-102 (Megabucks winner) and will be without Anthony Davis to night and Kyle Kuzma and Rondo are still out. Love LeBron but I am part Greek so go with the 'Freak.' Take MILWAUKEE! |

Toronto at Detroit 7:05 ET Pistons (+) over Raptors- I question why this line is so low when we are aware that the Pistons two big guns Andre Drummond and Blake Griffin are day-to-day. Okay, so Toronto is 15-6 ATS in their last 12 games as a favorite while Detroit is 6-15-1 ATS as an underdog but the Raptors are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games overall. The Piston have responded after a poor performance going 5-1 ATS after an ATS loss. In a surprise the Pistons get it done tonight. Take DETROIT! |

Tennessee at Cincinnati Bearcats (+) over Volunteers- Both of these clubs are coming off of losses with Tennessee losing to Memphis at home while the Bearcats lost at home against Colgate. The Volunteers who play great defense is shooting just 42% from the floor and have yet to allow 70 points to an opponent this season. The Bearcats had a five-point lead with just over a minute to go and allowed Colgate to score the final six points for a 67-66 loss. Tennessee is 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games and 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall while Cincinnati is just 2-10 in their last 12 as an underdog and only 8-23 ATS in their last 31 games overall. These trends are ugly on each side but I'll take the home dog here. Take CINCINNATI! |

12-17-19 | Nets v. Pelicans +2.5 | Top | 108-101 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 1 m | Show |
Brooklyn at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Nets- Defense is the key to the Pelicans 12-game losing streak as they don't play much of it allowing 121.4 points per contest as they await the debut of Zion Williamson. Brooklyn on the other end of the perspective just took down Philadelphia 109-89 and their defense was the focal point of their victory. The Nets are 10-5 SU without Kyrie (The World is Flat) Irving and 4-7 with him so it's 'addition by subtraction.' Although Brooklyn is 6-2 ATS in their last eight games overall they are just 3-8 ATS after winning a game by more than ten points. Take NEW OREANS! |

Miami at Memphis 8:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Heat- Along with Dallas the Miami Heat have been one of the more pleasant surprises in the NAB this season currently at 19-7 they invade Memphis where the 7-19 Grizzlies will they and win their four game in five tries. Miami is off of an overtime 122-118 win at Dallas after falling to the Lakers the night before (Friday). Considering the records of these two I believe that this 'line' is a bit short and the Book-makers are looking to take all of the Heat action they can get. Here is Miami 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings and 10-4 as a road favorite and yet are such a meager favorite here. It appears that injuries to the Heat's starting line-up will take its toll here as the Grizzlies younger player begin to mature. Take MEMPHIS! |

Buffalo at Pittsburgh 8:20 ET Steelers over Bills- Buffalo had a 3-game winning streak snapped at home against the Ravens and now take to the road for the next two starting in Pittsburgh Sunday night. The Bills big name is Josh Allen the quarterback from Wyoming took it on the chin last week completing just 43.6% of his passes. The Steelers are nursing their third string un-drafted rookie from Stanford Kevin Hodges. This might just be the spot to find out if the Bills are for real! They are 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven road games and 5-1-1 in their last seven as an underdog but just 1-5 ATS their last six against Pittsburgh. It may not be the 'Steel Curtain' but they can win for certain. Take PITTSBURGH! |

Brooklyn who is 9-5 without Kyrie Irving have dropped two straight for the first time since his absence are coming off of one of their worst shooting nights of the season at Toronto. Although the Sixers are off of a huge win at Boston they are just 1-5-1 ATS as a road favorite and on the other hand the Nets are 4-0 ATS as a home underdog and are 7-1 ATS after a straight-up loss.

L.A. Rams at Dallas 4:25 ET Cowboys over Rams- Truly, I can't express how much I think of the Cowboys here. Sincerely, I don't fool with stuff like that. It is just the way this game set up with their national TV appears for both Dallas and the Rams. A few weeks ago 'we' posted the Rams who had been horrible in National TV games this season takes out Seattle after the Seahawks had dismantled the 49ers while Dallas was getting busted by New England and Buffalo. Last Thursday week posted the Bears 31-24 over Dallas as they and now it's the 'Boys turn. Everybody is sour on Wayne Garrett and even if he wins and makes the playoffs he is most like history with Dallas. Anyway he wins here. Take DALLAS! |

Minnesota at L. A Chargers 4:25 ET Chargers (+) over Vikings- After winning 12 games last season and dominating the Ravens in the playoffs for the Chargers to have won only five games this season and it has been a huge disappointment and its a lost season for San Diego (oops) the Chargers. This is a sandwich game of sorts for Minnesota as they lead the Rams by one game for the final NFC Playoff spot and trail Green Bay by 1-game for the Division lead. But, to their credit the Chargers have not quit and put up a 45-10 victory pasting over the Jaguars in Jacksonville and are 3-2 SU in their last five. Perfect spot for a Vikings letdown. And listen to this I mean read it...they are 3-8-1 after an ATS win and 1-7 ATS in their last eight after allowing less than 15 points. Take L.A. CHARGERS! |

N.C State at NC Greensboro 3:00 ET Spartans (+) over Wolfpack- Now, does this seem right? An 7-2 ACC school like NC State is a meager favorite at Greensboro and that just doesn't look right. State has won three of the last four meetings but covered on once and the Wolfpack is 0-5 ATS when play a team with a better than .500 record. Greensboro id 4-0-1 ATS in their last five as a home underdog and this 'price' is way to shallow. Take the SPARTANS! |

Gonzaga at Arizona 10:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Bulldogs- A great matchup in the West where a pair of 10-1 teams face-off in Tempe in what could be a match of potential respective conference winners. No. 6 Gonzaga's lone loss came against Michigan while the No. 14 Wildcats were handed their lone loss at Baylor and have dropped four of their last five ATS. The rap on both these squads especially Gonzaga is the quality of schedule played. The Bulldogs have won the last three meetings including a 91-74 home win over the Wildcats last season. Cats get their revenge here. Take ARIZONA! |

Los Angeles of course is contending and have won four straight going 4-0 ATS in their last four as favorites. I imagine that the Clippers are gong to try a little loan management tonight as this is there second of back-to-back contests and their three road games in four nights. Taker CHICAGO! |

Rutgers on the other hand has a balanced attack that has nine different players seeing at least 10 minutes playing time each game. This is a bit of a rivalry and the underdog is 19-7 ARS in their last 26 meetings. Take RUTGERS! |

Army vs Navy 3:00 ET Midshipmen (-) over Black Knights- Until the recent past the Navy has had the upper hand in this series but the Army has rallied to win the last three outright as underdogs. Although the Midshipmen had won the previous 14 meetings the Army is 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings. But, this season it looks like the old matchup where Navy has the advantage. Ranked No. 23 Navy is headed to the Liberty Bowl and meets Kansas State while the Cadets finish their season here as at 5-7 they miss out in post season play. The Midshipmen have triple revenge and I expect them to get it done. Take the NAVY! |

Tonight, the Clippers are in Minnesota where the Timberwolves are 0-6 ATS in their last six home games. As a matter of fact the Clippers are 12-4-1 ATS in their last 17 meetings in Minny and are 21-9 ATS as road favorites.

The 'price' on this game is rather silly with the Celtics looking for avenge an opening night loss at Philly where the 76ers prevailed 107-93. Boston is 5-0 ATS when hosting the Sixers in the last five meetings and yet are not favored here. Philadelphia has won 11 of their last 13 straight-up while the Celtics are off of a 122-117 loss to (Megabucks winner) Indiana last night. The second of back-to-back games Boston falls short!

New York Giants at Philadelphia 8:15 WT Eagles (-) over Giants- So Eli Manning once again is the starter for New York and these next few game can have an impact on Eli's legacy as he enters this contest dead even in wins and losses as a NFL starter. This game of course has significant meaning for Philadelphia as they trail division leader Dallas by 1-game.

But, these points are high and the Giants just don't play any football at all. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Oklahoma City at Portland 9:00 ET Thunder (+) over Trailblazers- To my surprise the Trailblazers are actually playing better with Carmelo Anthony winning four of the six games that he has been with the club. Oklahoma City is off of an improbable win where they out-scored Minnesota 17-5 in the overtime period. Portland already has a pair of wins over the Thunder including a 136-119 home win two weeks ago. This is a different OKC team, it's a team that shares the ball as they were the first team in 15 years to have five players score at least 20 points.

Seattle has won eight of nine while The Rams bounced back with a win over Arizona to get to 7-5 one-game out of the final NFC Wild Card playoff berth. It's time for Sean McVay to get some milage out of Todd Gurley and make hime earn his pay. Still, LA is 5-2 ATS against the Seahawks and 10-2 ATS against the NFC.

These two met in October and it wasn't even close as the Buckeyes trounced the Badgers 38-17 and it wasn't that close. OSU quarterback Justin Fields was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week as he had four TD passes at Michigan last Saturday. Wisconsin has met the Buckeyes three previous times in the Big Ten Championship games and they have yet to prevail losing last 27-21 in 2017. This time around the Badgers know what they are up against and will make the adjustments needed. Take WISCONSIN! |

Georgia vs L.S. U. 4:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Tigers- LSU enters this contest almost assured a spot in the CFP even if they stub their toe here as losing to a one-loss Georgia will keep them alive. The Bulldogs on the other hand must force the committee to raise them into the Playoffs with a win here. Okay, that leads me to believe Georgia will be more desperate and have a greater need and motivation. But, are they good enough to pull it off? Playing in the Georgia Dome has got to help the 'Dogs whose scoring defense is No. 4 in the nation at 10.4 points per game. LSU is No.1 in offense 48.7 led by JoeBurrow and they will face they toughest defense of the season here. Take GEORGIA! |

Both these clubs pride themselves on their defense as Ohio State holds their opponents 10-points below their season's average and the Lions allow just 61.8 points per game.

Oregon vs Utah 8:00 ET Ducks (+) over Utes- Utah has lost one game this season to USC (5* Megabucks winner) back in September and they have reeled off eight straight wins and 8-0 ATS since. Oregon has been disappointing as expected from their opening game when Auburn's 29-yard Hail-Mail was answered and they lost at the gun in a game they they dominated for 3 and half quarters. Then when it looked like they had regrouped and had an 8-game win streak of their own ended that was ended at home by a two-touchdown underdog losing to Arizona State 31-28. Friday's game may be played under questionable conditions as it has been a rainy week in the Bay area. The question might be who does this aid, the power game of the Utes or the speed game for the Ducks. At first it would appear that Utah gains and edge with their power game, but receivers that know where they are headed have an advantage over defensive backs that have to react to a cut. Oregon has the superior passing game behind future first rounder Justin Herbert who has 31 TD's and only five interceptions. Built for water... take the DUCKS! |

Minnesota at Dallas 8:30 ET Timberwolves (+) over Mavericks- Dallas without question has had the biggest turn-around season as they are 14-6 70% this year compared to being below .500. Luka Donic and Kristaps Porzingis are a combo that Dallas opponents are having difficulty handling. Minnesota has also taken great strides this year and has played better than expected going 7-2 SU and ATS on the road. This 'price' seems awful cheap and unless you realize the Wolves are 7-3 SU in the last 10 meetings. Take MINNESOTA! |

The Bulldogs just defeated Stanford 68-67 to win the Hall of Fame Classic and now play their first true road of game of the season.

The home team is 6-2-1 ATS in the last nine meetings but the Texans are 1-4 ATS at home this season but this is the first time that they are an underdog...take HOUSTON! |

Green Bay at New York 1:00 ET Giants (+) over Packers- Through the years we have witnessed some classic encounters between these two old NFL stalwarts both during the regular season and the playoffs including NFL Championship games. It doesn't stand to reason that this will be another one of them as the Giants are marred in an 7-game losing streak and surely Green Bay is headed to the playoffs. The 'action' has been excessive on the Packers and even the harden stedfast New York supporters want no part of the Giants this week. I'm in...take the GIANTS! |

11-30-19 | Alabama v. Auburn +4 | Top | 45-48 | Win | 100 | 17 h 58 m | Show |
Alabama at Auburn 3:30 ET Tigers (+) over Crimson Tide- To start with I'm was quite surprised that this 'number' opened where it did. I expected it to be a bit higher as Auburn hasn't shown the kind of offensive diversity that is needed to overcome the Alabama defense. The Tigers have only three games scoring more than 24 points getting 55, 56 and 51 against imposters Kent, Miss St and Samford. But, there is something missing with this Crimson squad as Nick Saban has little confidence in his back-up quarterback and has been badly out coached in his last three big encounters. 'Bama has won eight of the last 11 meetings but the Tigers get it done! Take AUBURN! |

11-30-19 | Ohio State v. Michigan +9.5 | Top | 56-27 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 28 m | Show |
Michigan at Ohio State 12:00 ET Wolverines (+) over Buckeyes- No. 2 Ohio State (11-0) is two wins away from getting to the Final-4 and its starts here against arch rival Michigan. The Buckeyes have had their in this series winning 16 of the past 18 meetings including last season's 62-39 destruction of the Wolverines gaining 567 yards from scrimmage. OSU is on a 16-game win streak and will up against the nation's 4th ranked defense allowing just 267 yards per game. Michigan has won their last four and are 6-0 at home. Take the WOLVERINES! |

11-29-19 | Ole Miss -113 v. Oklahoma State | Top | 37-78 | Loss | -113 | 9 h 26 m | Show |
Mississippi vs. Oklahoma State 9:30 ET Rebels over Cowboys- The NIT Season Tip-off championship will pit Mississippi (5-1) and undefeated Oklahoma State (6-0) and will be played at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The Rebels will be playing another undefeated club here and opened a small favorite and will most likely go off as an underdog. The Rebels have the 'mojo' as they came back from a 21-point deficit to defeat Penn State 74-72 and get it done once again. Take MISSISSIPPI! |

11-29-19 | Mavs v. Suns +2.5 | Top | 120-113 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 41 m | Show |
Dallas and Phoenix 9:00 ET Suns (+) over Mavericks- A pair of the NBA's most vastly improved clubs clash in Phoenix will host the Mavericks. The Suns who are 5-6 SU at home have dropped their last two and admit that they need better focus. Phoenix surprisingly enough has a huge series edge and are 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings including 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings in Phoenix. Take the SUNS! |

11-29-19 | Iowa v. Nebraska +5.5 | Top | 27-24 | Win | 100 | 4 h 15 m | Show |
Iowa at Nebraska 2:30 ET Cornhuskers (+) over Hawkeyes- For Nebraska this has been one of the worst football seasons that I can ever remember for as they are 5-6 SU and a horrid 2-9 ATS. Despite hat we have witnessed this season with the Cornhuskers they are one win away from becoming bowl eligible. Iowa meanwhile, has won four of five and are striving for a New Year's Day bowl bid and a win here would go a long way toward that goal. Huskers need it more...take NEBRASKA! |

11-28-19 | Saints v. Falcons +7 | Top | 26-18 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 17 m | Show |
New Orleans at Atlanta 8:20 ET Falcons (+) over Saints- The storyline that I keep hearing is that the Saints will exact revenge upon the Falcons who took down New Orleans 26-9 three weeks ago in New Orleans. These two have a habit of playing close affairs as the underdog is 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings and as bad as the Falcons have been they are 4-0 ATS against teams with winnings records. After losing six straight both SU and ATS lowly Atlanta was able to rise on the road defeating the Saints and then Carolina 29-3 before falling apart against theTampa Bay last week. Look for the Falcons to fly over the Saints here. Take ATLANTA! |

11-28-19 | NC State -125 v. Memphis | Top | 78-83 | Loss | -125 | 6 h 50 m | Show |
N.C. State vs Memphis 4:00 ET Wolfpack (+) over Tigers- Both clubs enter this fray 5-1 and 3-3 ATS to date with all the fanfare going to Memphis because of the fuss over All-American James Wiseman being eligible or not (for now it's not). This game fits the bill that 'Jerry' points out has an unranked team North Carolina State favored over a ranked team No. 20 Memphis. Somehow when this scenario occurs the unranked team becomes the play. This is the first of its kind on the season and let us see what happens this year. Take NORTH CAROLINA STATE! |

11-27-19 | Lakers v. Pelicans +6.5 | Top | 114-110 | Win | 100 | 11 h 49 m | Show |
L.A. Lakers at New Orleans 9:30 ET Pelicans (+) over Lakers- The return of Anthony Davis to New Orleans will create a stir in the Crescent City as he spent seven years with the Pelicans and now is part of the team with the best record in the NBA. The Lakers have won their last eight SU while New Orleans has dropped their last two and are 4-0 ATS in their last four home games and 4-1 ATS as hosts against the Lakers. The Pelicans are better than most give them credit for and the respond tonight. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

11-26-19 | Wisconsin v. New Mexico +6 | Top | 50-59 | Win | 100 | 6 h 51 m | Show |
Wisconsin vs New Mexico 5:00 ET Lobos (+) over Badgers- Just like in football this season Wisconsin is not up too the usual standard that we expect out of this program. Monday, the Badgers fell 62-52 against Richmond and shooting a season low 34% from the floor and committed a season -high 15 turnovers. New Mexico on the other hand is 15th in the nation in field goal percentage at 51.5 and have five players scoring in double figures. Take the LOBOS! |

Brigham Young vs. UCLA 11:30 ET Cougars (+) over Bruins- Ah Hawaii, the site of the Maui Jim Maui Invitational pits a pair of West coast clubs from California and Utah clash in a neutral setting. ULCA is coming off of a 1-point loss to Hofstra and I am pissed that 'we' passed by it but the story be told the Bruins are not a powerhouse this season. BYU is also off of a loss but their's came in overtime against Boise State.UCLA coach Mick Cronin admitted that the Bruins got exposed by the Flying Dutchman. Take BYU! |

11-25-19 | Ravens v. Rams +4 | Top | 45-6 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 19 m | Show |
Baltimore at L.A. Rams 8:15 ET Rams (+) over Ravens- If the defending NFC Champions are to make their late season push it must start here against the NFL's most surprising team and dynamic player in Lamar Jackson. Baltimore has won six straight going 4-0 ATS in their last four overall winning by a total of 101 points an average of 25.3 per win. The Ravens NFL leading scoring offense averages 34.1 per contest as Jackson has thrown for 19 TD's and just five interceptions while running for 781 yards averaging 6.7 yards an attempt with six TD's rushing. Jackson has 260 more rushing yards than the Rams leader Todd Gurley who ran the ball a season high 22 times last week. One thing LA has is Aaron Donald to harass Jackson and receivers Brandin Cooks and Roberts Woods return from injury. This game is way to important to the Rams who trail the Niners by 3-games and Seahawks by two. Take LOS ANGELES! |

11-25-19 | Nets v. Cavs +1 | Top | 108-106 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 20 m | Show |
Brooklyn at Cleveland 7:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Nets- So, it appears that the Celtics are not the only team that has benefited from a players departure (addition by subtraction) as they are so much better without Kyrie Irving than with him and Brooklyn is 4-1 during his absence. Cleveland is looking to win two straight for just the second time this season and are 10-2 in their last 12 home games against the Nets. Cavaliers leading scorer and rebounder Kevin Love is expected by tonight after missing the second of back-to-back games Saturday. Take CLEVELAND! |

11-24-19 | Packers v. 49ers -3 | Top | 8-37 | Win | 100 | 23 h 37 m | Show |
Green Bay at San Francisco 8:20 ET 49ers (-) over Packers- Not for nothin' b'cuz we all have seen what going on the past few weeks with Jimmy Garoppolo and if Carlo Giambino was still alive I would be very suspicious. San Francisco (9-1) is one game better than the Pack (8-2) in the NFC but Green Bay has probably been more impressive with Aaron Rogers leading them with 17 touchdowns and only two INTs. But, the facts are San Francisco has the edge on both offense 29.5 points to 25 but on defense as well holding opponents to 15 points while the Pack are at 20.5. a great game to WIN...take 49ERS! |

11-24-19 | Nets v. Knicks +2.5 | Top | 103-101 | Win | 100 | 7 h 10 m | Show |
rooklyn at New York 6:05 ET Knicks (+) over Nets- New York is playing the second of a pair of back-to-backs and have dropped their last two including last night's loss against San Antonio. Brooklyn has won three of four without injured Kyrie Irving and have won their last two but have been disappointing so far this season. The Knicks haven't had much success against many team sin the NBA but they are 7-2 ATS against the Nets in the last nine meetings. Take NEW YORK! |

11-24-19 | Seahawks v. Eagles -113 | Top | 17-9 | Loss | -113 | 15 h 29 m | Show |
Seattle at Philadelphia 1:00 ET Eagles (+) over Seahawks- Russell Wilson does it time and again and I'm have seen it enough to know better, but football is a team game and although the Seahawks are 8-2 SU they have managed to outscore opponents buy just 2-points a game 27.5/25.4. Philadelphia lost a heartbreaker last week blowing a 10-0 lead to the Patriots and at 5-5 on the No. 8 seed on the outside looking in. The Eagles soar here overall a factious Seahawk! Take PHILADELPHIA! |

11-23-19 | Oilers v. Golden Knights -180 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -180 | 11 h 38 m | Show |
Edmonton at Vegas 10:00 ET Golden Knights over Oilers- Vegas has found themselves just floating along at 11-9-4 and the natives are getting a little restless as they are used to better overall play than what they seen this season. Tonight the Golden Knights find themselves heavy favorites against the Division leader Edmonton who has a five-point lead over the 4th place Knights. They make up ground tonight. Take VEGAS! |

San Antonio at New York 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over Spurs- New York has made the playoffs but twice in the last 20 years and the whole time they keep wishing that they could play like the Spurs, well, now they can. San Antonio has lost eight straight the longest losing streak of Gregg Popovich's career as they stumble into New York 5-11. The Knicks have shown some life winning a pair out of their last four. Take NEW YORK! |

11-23-19 | SMU v. Navy -3 | Top | 28-35 | Win | 100 | 17 h 4 m | Show |
S.M.U at Navy 3:30 ET Midshipman (-) over Mustangs- My first thoughts about this game were running toward the Mustangs with their offense that averages 522 yards including 328 in the air. I remember the Navy getting so out-classed by Notre Dame and SMU having two weeks to prepare gives me concerns. It isn't like Navy was looking ahead to this game there biggest conference game of the year. and not thinking of the Irish so much, but here they are. The Midshipman run the for 350 yards a game and that will keep the ball out of the Mustangs hands (ha). SMU is 0-4 ATS in their our meetings at Navy. Take NAVY! |

11-23-19 | Ole Miss +4.5 v. Memphis | Top | 86-87 | Win | 100 | 1 h 16 m | Show |
Mississippi at Memphis 1:00 ET Rebels (+) over Tigers- Okay, we all know the story by now that James Wiseman's NCAA career will probably be less then 20 games after his 12-game suspension was handed down. No. 20 Memphis and has just one upperclassman on the floor and will mature as the season progresses. Mississippi is 4-0 and this 'price' is very short as they have won all four games by double-digits.Take MISSISSIPPI! |

11-22-19 | Xavier v. Connecticut +5 | Top | 75-74 | Win | 100 | 7 h 15 m | Show |
Xavier at Connecticut 9:30 ET Huskies (+) over Musketeers- Connecticut is returning to the Big East in 2020 and gets to face a future conference opponent with No. 21 ranked Xavier in Charleston, SC. The Musketeers are 5-0 SU but only 1-4 ATS and are playing Connecticut for the first time since 1990-91 NCAA Tournament before they joined and after the Huskies left the conference. UConn coach Dan Hurley has the Huskies on the upswing...take CONNECTICUT! |

11-22-19 | Heat v. Bulls +5 | Top | 116-108 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 53 m | Show |
Miami at Chicago 8:00 ET Bulls (+) over Heat- At 10-3 Miami has surprised the pundits and are running away with the NBA Southeast Division already leading the Magic by five-games in the loss column. The Heat have won four straight and have matched their best start in franchise history. Chicago just ended a 3-game losing streak with a 20-point win over Detroit and are looking for their first pair of consecutive wins this season. The Bulls are 3-5 straight-up at home but are 4-4 ATS when playing as hosts and are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Last year the road team took all three meetings this season it's turn-about. Take CHICAGO! |

11-21-19 | Avalanche v. Wild -113 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 14 m | Show |
Colorado at Minnesota 8:00 ET Wild over Avalanche- Colorado has won five of six casting aside the fact that they have a rash of major injuries to key personnel including a pair of goal tenders. The Avalanche are without forwards Matt Calvert and Tyson Jost along with their injured goalies. Minnesota has split their last seven decisions which is an improvement from a 4-9-1 start. This time ...take the WILD! |

11-18-19 | Chiefs v. Chargers +5.5 | Top | 24-17 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 13 m | Show |
Kansas City vs. San Diego 8:15 ET Chargers (+) over Chiefs- Now, this is a game that I will watch...My first though is to remember this one's in Mexico City. So, this is a home game for the Chargers, do you think they feel any different? Other than the altitude that they have the same advantage they have in Los Angeles...none. LA knows it has to keep the ball out of the explosive Chiefs offense's hands and will attack Kansas City's 31st ranked rushing defense which is allowing 148 yards per game with Melvin Gordon. Chiefs have lost 2-of-3 and their invincibly is gone. LAC 6-2-1 ATS following a loss. Take LOS ANGELES! |
