12-27-23 | Virginia Tech -10.5 v. Tulane | Top | 41-20 | Win | 100 | 13 h 55 m | Show |
Military Bowl 2:00 ET Annapolis, MD Virginia Tech vs Tulane 2:00 ET Hokies (-) over Green Wave- This was one of the first games among the 42 bowl games that drew my attention because the line is so outrageous it could not be ignored. I actually thought that I had written the spread down incorrectly with Virginia Tech in the favorites role. Okay, I might give you that the Hokies play a more difficult schedule but not by all that much and they were just 6-6 anyway. Tulane has won 11 games after winning 12 last season including a bowl win over USC. So, is this price an over-reaction to the Green Wave entering this game without their head coach and quarterback who is preparing for the NFL draft. This point spread comes under more scrutiny upon seeing that Va. Tech has dropped four straight bowl games. Tulane is using an interim coach and has already hired Jon Sumrall from Troy as their new head coach but he won’t be a part of this bowl game. They will be without their quarterback, their leading rusher, without their leading receiver and five top defensive players. Take VIRGINIA TECH! |

12-26-23 | Pacers +3.5 v. Rockets | Top | 123-117 | Win | 100 | 9 h 4 m | Show |
Indiana at Houston 8:00 ET Pacers (+) over Rockets- Indiana was the NBA’s highest scoring team as of two weeks ago but have hit a snag losing their last two and six of seven as they meet Houston for the first time this season. The Pacers made a run during the NBA in-season tournament and are seeking to regain their intensity after a disappoint loss to the Lakers in the final. The Rockets are an outstanding 12-2 SU and 11-2-1 ATS at home but have lost seven straight to the Pacers going 2-7 ATS. They have rebounded nicely with a pair of wins after having dropped three straight but just seem to struggle against this Hoosier state club. Take INDIANA! |

12-26-23 | Hawks +1.5 v. Bulls | Top | 113-118 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 58 m | Show |
Atlanta at Chicago 8:00 ET Hawks (+) over Bulls- Atlanta’s Trae Young is on a record setting streak scoring 30 points or more with at least 10 assists in seven straight games although the Hawks were only 3-4 losing their last two. Chicago is 2-1 on their current five game home stand and this without All-star Zach Levine who remains sidelined with a foot injury. The high flying Hawks average 122.7 PPG which is No. 2 in NBA scoring while the Bulls offense struggles at 110 PPG ranking 27th. Take ATLANTA! |

12-25-23 | Ravens +6.5 v. 49ers | Top | 33-19 | Win | 100 | 20 h 26 m | Show |
Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday's to all... Baltimore at San Francisco 8:20 ET Ravens (+) over 49ers- This could very well be a preview of this years Super Bowl as both these clubs are currently at 11-3 and the No. 1 seeds in their respective conferences. The loser of course still can retain that position by winning their last two games. Baltimore has won five of the last seven meetings but the most recent encounter was four years ago 20-17 at home and of course in the Super Bowl 34-31 in 2012. I imagine the spread is this high based on the MVP potential of Brock Purdy (the favorite in Las Vegas -260) and Christian McCaffrey as well as an offense that leads the NFL averaging 7.0 yards per play. The Ravens have the No. 2 defense overall and this is where the winner will be determined. In a game like this where both teams actually have a chance to win the game I would prefer taking points especially by the underdog here who feels slighted by the odds makers. Take BALTIMORE! |

12-25-23 | Bucks v. Knicks +3.5 | Top | 122-129 | Win | 100 | 10 h 29 m | Show |
Milwaukee at New York 12:00 ET Knicks (+) over Bucks- This is the second of back-to-back contests and Milwaukee already routed the Knicks 130-111 winning their ninth straight in the series bring their ATS record to 7-0-2. New York has shown improvement in each of the past three seasons under Tom Tribodeau but have had their problems with the Bucks. The media in NY has been riding the Knicks pretty hard saying that they can’t win against the NBA elite and site the Bucks as a perfect example. But, they are capable and are 7-4 SU at home while Milwaukee is 6-5 ATS on the road but just 13-16 ATS on the season. Take NEW YORK! |
|||||||
12-24-23 | Patriots +7 v. Broncos | Top | 26-23 | Win | 100 | 19 h 54 m | Show |
New England at Denver 8:20 ET Patriots (+) over Broncos- Upon researching the results of past meeting it was found that the last time these two team met was 10 season’s ago when Brady and Manning were leading their respective clubs. There really isn’t to many positive things that can be said about the Patriots and after a slow start by Denver who lost their first three games and surrendered 70 points to Miami before defeating Chicago with a late fourth quarter comeback. New England has had a horrific season going 3-11 SU and (4-10) ATS but have covered two straight including a win over the Steelers. The broncos attack is based on their run game and stopping the run is about the only thing the Pats have had some success doing is stopping the run. Take NEW ENGLAND! |
|||||||
12-24-23 | Cowboys +2.5 v. Dolphins | Top | 20-22 | Win | 100 | 16 h 48 m | Show |
Dallas at Miami 4:25 ET Cowboys (+) over Dolphins- There is a rap that going with both of these teams and one of them will prevail to end the knock on them. The talk is that neither of these teams wins against top competition although the Cowboys did a job on Philadelphia who is fading fast two weeks ago and then were punished by Buffalo last week. Miami shut out (30-0) the hapless Jets last week and the gap between that New York team and Dallas is huge. The Dolphins could just get man-handled by the Dallas interior and I look for one eam to rebound and the other to slide back. Take DALLAS! |
|||||||
12-23-23 | James Madison v. Air Force +2 | Top | 21-31 | Win | 100 | 35 h 58 m | Show |
Armed Forces Bowl James Madison vs Air Force 3:30 ET Falcons (+) over Dukes- James Madison has had quite a year as their 11-1 season would attest and they were so good their head coach left after they defeating Coastal Carolina 56-14 rebounding from their only loss 26-23 to Appalachian State. The Air Force opened the season with eight start wins and then attrition set in and they dropped their last four with a depleted squad. The Falcons running attack ranked No. 2 in FBS rushing yards with 3,309 and this plays into the Dukes strength as they held opponents to just 61.5 YPG rushing No. 1 in the nation. The Falcons average just 8.3 passed a game completing only 4.3 passes a game but for 20.4 yards per completion. This not only be the first game for a new James Madison coach it will be the first Bowl game in school history. Tough start in Armed Forces Bowl...Take AIR FORCE. |

12-22-23 | Hawks +1.5 v. Heat | Top | 113-122 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 18 m | Show |
Atlanta at Miami 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Heat- Once again I am either being sucked into a play or I am on another winner and I think that it is the later of the two. Here is Miami four-games over .500 and Atlanta three games under .500 with the Heat at home a virtual pick’em. Injuries are playing a huge part of this match-up as Atlanta returns Bogdan Bogdanovic to the line up while the Heat have numerous players on and off the work management goof and Jimmy Butler is often court side in street clothes. Take ATLANTA! |

12-21-23 | Saints +4 v. Rams | Top | 22-30 | Loss | -105 | 21 h 12 m | Show |
New Orleans at LA Rams 8:15 ET Saints (+) over Rams- Holy moly, hold on a second now...the Rams are currently in the NFC’s final wild card spot, this team predicted to win no more than five games. I must give Sean McVay credit for what he has done with a club that sold out to get to the Super Bowl is recovering nicely. For New Orleans iit s the same old story, they have covered just four of fourteen games (too much Cajun money) but they are still in the NFC hunt and are tied in the NFL South at 7-7. The Rams are near the top in Red Zone efficiency scoring 50% while while the Saints were at the bottom but of red zone TD % until making good on nine of their last 10 opportunities. Both clubs off wins over cream puffs and won easily. This time it comes down to the final gun...take NEW ORLEANS! |
|||||||
12-21-23 | Spurs +6.5 v. Bulls | Top | 95-114 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 41 m | Show |
San Antonio at Chicago 7:00 ET Spurs (+) over Bulls- When even thinking of playing San Antonio you have to pick your spots and although the Spurs have won just four of 26 games and are 2-10 SU on the road and are 5-7 ATS. I have stayed away from this bottom rung club posting them only twice and winning both times and this is a spot to play them. San Antonio has won just one of their last 20 games while Chicago has won two straight against the Sixers and Lakers. Victor Wembanyama rested Tuesday and should be ready tonight. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

12-20-23 | Wolves +3.5 v. 76ers | Top | 113-127 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 10 m | Show |
Minnesota at Philadelphia 7:00 ET 76ers over Timberwolves- Ya know, after Joel Embiid won the MVP last season (his numbers were good enough I expected a bit even ever so slight of a drop off in his level of play. I couldn’t have more off base as his numbers are better this season and he is even more deserving up to this point. Currently he has 11 straight games with30 points and 11 rebounds. So, kudos to Joel! But, it is Minnesota with the best record in basketball (20-5 ) after a come from behind win at Miami (A-play loser) so I’m a a little leery have to play on or against the T’wolves. But, I will. Take MINNESOTA! |
|||||||
12-20-23 | Baylor +3.5 v. Duke | Top | 70-78 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 5 m | Show |
Baylor vs Duke 7:00 ET Bears (+) over Blue Devils- The old gray mare just ain’t what she used to be...and neither are the Blue Devils. Duke has won their last two games against Charlotte and Hofstra (not exactly powerhouses) and are now 7-3 on the year. Now, a Duke team that already had three losses and were 5-3 before playing a pair of powder puffs. Baylor after winning their first nine contests is off a loss at another supposed neutral site in Detroit falling to Michigan State (Megabucks winner). Ranked No 10 the Bears come up a small dog at Madison Square a place the Blue devils love to play and their history is to put on a show. The defenses of these two are very comparable but the Bears get the edge on offense and are ranked #2 in shooting 42.1% from 3-point range as well as being #3 with defensive rebounds. Take BAYLOR! |
|||||||
12-19-23 | Florida v. Michigan +3.5 | Top | 106-101 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 42 m | Show |
Florida at Michigan 7:00 ET Wolverines (+) over Gators- Every year I can count on one thing, and that is that the Florida Gators will be over-rated in basketball. The impostors are a shinny 7-3 SU but once again are a deal breaker when it come to turning a profit as thy are just 2-7-1 ATS. Michigan has had a rough road playing and losing to the likes of Memphis, Texas Tech, Oregon and Indiana while the Gators fell to Virginia and Baylor. Both clubs average 82.4 PPG with Florida holding a defensive edge, But, this is where improvement form scheduling help along with paying at home where the Wolves defense will stiffen. Take MICHIGAN! |
|||||||
12-18-23 | Wolves v. Heat +2 | Top | 112-108 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 30 m | Show |
Minnesota at Miami 7:30 ET Heat over Timberwolves- Minnesota is finally playing the way may have expected for a number of season and have been one of the most impressive NBA teams this year. The Timberwolves have won 8-of-9 and 18 of their last 21 and have not lost consecutive games this season. Miami is off a tough 118-116 victory over Chicago with Jimmy Butler hitting the winning shot. The Heat are still difficult to beat and although they are just 3-9 ATS at home now they are playing in the underdog roll. Add that Kevin Love is healthy and has eased the pressure on Butler. Take MIAMI! |
|||||||
12-17-23 | Ravens v. Jaguars +3.5 | Top | 23-7 | Loss | -115 | 18 h 49 m | Show |
Baltimore at Jacksonville 8:20 ET Jaguars (+) over Ravens- It is amazing what transpires during the NFL season. Two weeks ago Jacksonville was siting atop the AFC with a chance to position them selves as the No. 1 seed for the playoffs. Baltimore currently leads the AFC race with a one-game lead over Miami and they can actually clinch a playoff spot with a win here and a number of other NFL happenings. Although they haven’t looked good in losing their last two games against Cincinnati and Cleveland they lost by a combined seven points with a hobbled Trevor Lawrence. Jags 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take JACKSONVILLE! |
|||||||
12-17-23 | Seton Hall +2.5 v. Missouri | Top | 93-87 | Win | 100 | 11 h 43 m | Show |
Seton Hall vs Missouri 5:00 ET Pirates (+) over Tigers- I know how bad Seton Hall can actually be and when I saw Missouri come up such a short favorite my thoughts were that the tigers are probably over-rated by the public. It just looks so easy I have seen the Pirates up close and personal and maybe I am expecting too much early in he season but I was not impressed. With this game in Kansas city I expected Mizzu to be at least a 5.5-6-point favorites but the bookmaker thinks otherwise and I truly believe he knows more today than I do. The injury to Tigers guard Caleb Grill must be having a huge impact. Take SETON HALL! |
|||||||
12-17-23 | Cowboys v. Bills -124 | Top | 10-31 | Win | 100 | 14 h 51 m | Show |
Dallas at Buffalo 4:25 ET Bills over Cowboys- The ‘Boys will be boys’ still holds true to me when thinking about this Cowboys squad. Granted aside from the Niners Dallas has by far been the most impressive club scoring a leading 421 points. They have won five straight and 7-of-8 and enter Buffalo off a huge division win over Philadelphia and they are in a perfect spot to get ambushed. To start with Buffalo in December is not always pleasant and it is something the desperate Bills are accustomed to playing in these conditions. After losing by three points to the Eagles (out-played them) Buffalo responded with a win (however fortunate) over Kansas City. Don’t count them out...take BUFFALO! |

12-16-23 | California +3.5 v. Texas Tech | Top | 14-34 | Loss | -105 | 31 h 27 m | Show |
California vs. Texas Tech 9:15 ET Golden Bears (+) over Red Raiders- There will be a par of star running backs one for each side that will showcase the Independence Bowl. Texas Tech is most relived that running back Tahj Brooks is going to play in this encounter bringing his 1,443 yards rushing and his No. 4 national ranking. The Pac-12 leading rusher Cal’s Jaydn Ott posted 1,260 yards on the ground as lead he Golden Bears to three straight wins with the aid off freshman quarterback Fernando Mendoza who had seven TD passes in those three games. Cal is 12-11-1 in Bowl games while the Red Raiders are 16-23-1 in post season action. Take CALIFORNIA! |

12-16-23 | Nets +3.5 v. Warriors | Top | 120-124 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 2 m | Show |
Brooklyn at Golden State 8:30 ET Nets (+) over Warriors- Conflict here because I beginning to think that it is time to fade Golden State and it is not just the Draymond Green thing...they just don;t seem to have what it takes this season with Klay Thompson having another disappointing start. If Curry is the only one that is the same, hey they will win their portion of games but my conflict comes from the Warriors starting the season 1-7 SU at home but have won five of their last six. But, overall Golden State has been a nightmare for their backers going 2-9 ATS at home. The Nets have been on the opposite side of the ledger and are 17-6-1 ATS on the season and 7-4 ATS on the road. Without a superstar the Nets don’t let their egos affect their performance. Take BROOKLYN! |

12-16-23 | Steelers +2 v. Colts | Top | 13-30 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 32 m | Show |
Pittsburgh at Indianapolis 4:30 ET Steelers (+) over Colts- Has what we have been saying about Pittsburgh all alone coming to fruition and that they just really not all that good. Despite the Steelers winning record that had been out-gained by opponents in each of their first 10 games. Once again a pair of 7-6 clubs fighting for a post season berth and with so many teams hanging at this level the final playoff spots with most likely be earned through tie-breakers. Indy’s Jonathan Taylor is questionable and even if he ays his effectiveness is in question. 21-6 advantage an have woo eight streak series \.Mitch Trubisky gets the start for the ‘Men of Steel’ and he will protect the ball better than Kenny ‘You’ Pickett. Take PITTSBURGH! |

12-16-23 | Clemson +3.5 v. Memphis | Top | 77-79 | Win | 100 | 3 h 26 m | Show |
Clemson at Memphis 3:00 ET Tigers (+) over Tigers- Ha! Okay, so that their no confusion right off and that is Clemson is he side for me. Some have questioned me because well, for the most part the rule to me is that when a non-ranked team is favored over a ranked team fade then ranked and that would Clemson. But, I am beginning to believe that after what I saw last season that maybe they have gone too far with unranked teams being favored over undefeated teams again Clemson. The difference should come down to the ACC defense because Memphis doesn’t play it as well. Take CLEMSON!! |

12-16-23 | Baylor v. Michigan State +3.5 | Top | 64-88 | Win | 100 | 2 h 27 m | Show |
Baylor at Michigan State 2:00 ET Spartans (+) over Bears- I really like this Baylor club they are ranked No. 6 and are undefeated at 9-0 opening the year with a win over Auburn and currently they are 6-1-1 ATS overall. I can’t say too much that I like what I have seen from Michigan State (4-5) as ‘we’ have faded them three times Nebraska, Wisconsin and Arizona and won them all. But, MSU coach Tom Izzo is a great motivator and always gets the most out of his players even when their talent level is a step below their opponents. The Spartans have dropped from a preseason No. 4ranking to out of the Top-25...but, they must have something that we haven’t seen yet. Take MICHIGAN STATE! |
|||||||
12-15-23 | Connecticut -4 v. Gonzaga | Top | 76-63 | Win | 100 | 11 h 3 m | Show |
Connecticut vs Gonzaga 10:00 ET Huskies over Bulldogs- With this line (Connecticut favored) and these two clubs meeting in Seattle in the virtual home game for the Bulldogs and it appears the Huskies are by far the superior team with this price. Gonzaga has been recognized with national prominence in recent seasons and UConn is the defending national champions but still, this price I would have thought if the Zags had a legitimate chance to win this line would be closer to pick-em. Bookmakers re .making it easy to take Bulldogs at home in their backyard. Huskies prevail. Take CONNECTICUT! |

12-15-23 | Magic +4.5 v. Celtics | Top | 111-128 | Loss | -112 | 6 h 29 m | Show |
Orlando at Boston 7:30 ET Magic (+) over Celtics- I always get a lump in my throat when playing against Boston as they may be the best balanced club in the NBA. The Celtics just swept Cleveland I their two-games back-to-back played over three days and they are now 12-0 SU at home. Although a game under .500 ARS on the season Boston still takes advantage of their home floor going 8-4 ATS at home and all as favorites. Tonight’s opposition is the up and coming Orlando Magic who are 17-6 ATS on the year to date and 6-4 ATS on the road and have won 11-of their last 13 games. Take ORLANDO! |

Golden State at LA Clippers 10:30 ET Warriors (+) over Clippers- I believe that these two clubs have exchanged places in the NBA pecking order of late. LA is on a five game winning streak and have won 10 of 13 and tonight the are hosting a reeling Warriors who have lost three of four. Golden State although 10-13 is 8-4 ATS on the road while the Clippers are 9-3 ATS at home. These two have alternated wins and losses the last eight meetings and tonight it’s the Warriors turn. Take GOLDEN STATE! |

12-14-23 | Wolves +2 v. Mavs | Top | 119-101 | Win | 100 | 8 h 33 m | Show |
Minnesota at Dallas 7:30 E Timberwolves (+) over Mavericks- This year these two clubs both Minnesota and Dallas who have been floating in middle of the pack for the past few seasons but are having on a playoff track right now. The Mavericks are playing together this season after a year of turmoil that started after Kyrie Irving came over from the Nets. They and have won their last four and Irving has missed the past two games with a sore right heel. Minnesota had won seven in-a-row and 8-of-9 prior to their loss at New Orleans on Monday. Wolves on a mission this season and are 12-3 against Western foes. Take MINNESOTA! |

12-14-23 | Chargers +3.5 v. Raiders | Top | 21-63 | Loss | -120 | 21 h 56 m | Show |
LA Chargers at Las Vegas 8:15 ET Chargers (+) over Raiders- This contest between two of the more disappointing teams this season in a year that the overall level of play and officiating has left much to be desired Not, just this two but the overall play although these two are at the bottom of the cure. For Los Angeles (It is easier to write than say, I’m still labeling the Chargers, ‘San Diego’ in speech) having no Justin Herbert means exactly what? I wonder if it will make a difference in the final analysis because Herbert puts up great numbers time and again but rarely wins. So, who is his replacement Why it is Easton Stick who has thrown one pass in his five-year NFL career, but was he was 49-3 as a starter at North Dakota State. Las Vegas is coming off a shutout 3-0 loss to the Vikings and is considering a move off of rookie QB Aiden O’Connell who in six starts had four TD passes and seven interceptions and a QB rating of 58.3 on the season. Take CHARGERS! |

Golden State at Phoenix 10:00 ET Warriors (+) over Suns- Golden State has had a run behind the shooting of Stephen Curry and have had their way against most teams in the NBA in the past. But, last year they were just 11-30 on the road and their traveling woes have continued into this season where they have now lost five in-a-row. Phoenix who has loaded their roster with superstars will have Bradly Beal, Devin Booker and Kevin Durant on the floor together for the first time this season. The Suns haven’t played well of late losing five of six defeating lowly Memphis for their lone victory. Suns are 2-0 versus the Warriors this season and tonight their dreams of getting the Hat-trick will fall short. Take GOLDEN STATE! |

Green Bay has won their last three moving into the 7th seed while New York was about to quit on the season until DeVito’s gave them a spark which has given them life.

Philadelphia (10-2) at Dallas (9-3) 5:20 PM ET Line: Cowboys -3.5 (52.5) Analysis: Philly just doesn’t pass the eye test as they did last season and Dallas with or with their coach has been a juggernaut at home going 6-0 and averaging 41 points. The Eagles won the first meeting 28-23 while the Cowboys appeared to out-play them but failed to execute when needed most. This is a strong number in my eyes which see the Eagles wings getting clipped. Both teams were destroyed by the 49er’s but Philly will have a tougher time recovering after last weeks beating. Dallas 33-24 |

Denver (6-6) at L.A Chargers (5-7) PM 1:25 PT Line: Chargers -2.5 (43.5) Analysis: Well, according to ‘Hoyle’ the way to win with the Chargers is take them when getting points on the road and play against them as home favorites. Denver’s win streak ended as Russell Wilson turned it over in the end zone in the final seconds. Wilson had his mini run but I expect that the difference between him and Justin Herbert will be obvious to all by this one’s end. Chargers still alive after stirring 6-0 win over Patriots and move one step closer today. LA CHARGERS 33-23 |

Cleveland at Miami 8:00 ET Cavaliers over Heat- The last time these two met a couple of weeks ago and the Heat destroyed Cleveland 129-96. Since, Miami has dropped four of six and the Cavaliers have won four of five. Cleveland’s defense is much improved but the are just 1-3 in games when failing to score 105 points. Miami’s defense allows 112 ppg and is down a notch from most recent seasons and that indicates more scoring and a play on the Cavaliers. Take CLEVELAND! |

New Orleans vs LA Lakers 9:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Lakers- When Lebron James decides to go to the hoop he is still virtually unstoppable. If he misses the shot that’s fine but you really can not stop him from getting the shot off he is just too big and strong. Zion Williamson appears to be healthy and when he plays there is no stopping him, especially if he want to get to the basket, his all-around game has 22.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.9 assists. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Indiana has already defeated the Bucks at home this season a 126-124 victory where Giannis Antetokounmpo poured in 54 points. Milwaukee has one less day to get ready coming off a win over the Knicks on Tuesday. Take INDIANA! |

Oklahoma City at Houston 8:00 ET Rockets over Thunder- After sitting out his rookie season Oklahoma City has seen amazing play from the former No. 1 draft pick Chet Holmgren who has been selected Rookie of the Month in both October and November. The Thunder have the second youngest team in the NBA with only San Antonio having the team with the least experience. OKC has been a beast on the road and is 7-2 away from home while Houston is a stellar 8-1 (7-1-1 ATS) when hosting. These two are the winningest ATS teams in the league with the Thunder at 14-5 ATS and the Rockets are 11-5-1 ATS despite being the only NBA team that has yet to win on the road but, at home...Take HOUSTON! |

Rutgers at Wake Forest 6:00 ET Scarlet Knights (+) over Demon Deacons- Under ordinary conditions I would think that Rutgers might struggle here as it is their first true road game (I always consider that) and that Wake Forest is 3-0 (2-1 ATS) at home. These two met last season with the Scarlet Knights winning big 81-57 as a 9-point home favorite. This time around the points are very short and I don’t think that we will even need the (always take them) points as the Deacons are top heavy with virtually all their scoring coming from just four players and the rest of the squad averaging just 3.3 ppg (the remaining roster). Depth is the Knights huge advantage. Take RUTGERS! |

Oklahoma State at Southern Illinois 9:00 ET Huskies over Cowboys- This is the first true road game for Oklahoma State and for a team that is 2-5 ATS in games on neutral and home courts that spells trouble. Add that the Cowboys are one of the worst shooting teams in the nation making just 45.3% for their field goal attempts ranking 154th and they are even worse from the free throw line hitting only 61.9% ranking 343rd. Southern Illinois has always been a personal favorite of mine since watching them playing in the NIT at Madison Square Garden and seeing a youthful Salukis in Walt Frazier who become ‘Clyde’ once he arrived in New York with the Knicks capturing the only two New York Knicks NBA Championships. Don’t be afraid of this non-power-5 club because these Cowboys are broke back...Take SOUTHERN ILLINOIS! |

Cornell at Syracuse 8:00 ET Big Red (+) over Orange- When these two colors clash there is nothing attractive from the result. Syracuse with Jim Boeheim or without him of late are not the Big East power many associate them to be. In head-to-head match-ups which they play every season Syracuse has won the last ten but Big Red have covered 3-of-4 and are 7-1 this season with their only loss at George Mason. The Orange are in the red going 1-6 ATS with their only cover against Chaminade. Take CORNELL! |

Cincinnati at Jacksonville 8:15 ET Bengals (+) over Jaguars- I believe that there has been a general over reaction to both of these team because of their recent play. So, trending to the negative are the Bengals and becoming the public’s choice the Jacksonville stock has never been higher. Cincinnati has dropped three straight while the Jaguars have won seven of eight and their only loss was to San Francisco. Jags QB Trevor Lawrence has better command of the offense now to go with his talents as he is learning how to win. Win...that is something the Bengals don’t understand for certain situations. What I say here is the truth and it is why I like them (Go figure). Here it is and this won’t be easy to swallow. The Bengals have lost nine straight Monday night road games (their last win came on Oct. 22, 1990 (that’s Oct. 22, 1990) and there is more, they have lost 15 straight prime-time road games and lastly they have lost 26 of 27 night road games. When you put it all together it seems that the Bengals don’t stand a chance and maybe they don’t but, when people have buried a team and assume they are done, that they have quit, that they are finished...that’s when amazing things start to happen. These guys are pro’s and after their inept offensive performance at Pittsburgh picking up only 10 first downs and gaining just 25 yards rushing i expect personal pride to rise up and for them to go toe-to-toe with the home club. Jake Browning gets his second start for the two-time defending division champs. Somehow, the money goes to CINCINNATI! |

The first time these two met for real was Super Bowl I where the Green Bay who easily 35-10. Bart Starr was the Packers leader and today it is all Love...Jordan Love who has improved weekly leading the Pack to three wins in their last four games after starting 2-5.

It has been 30 years since Nebraska started 7-0 and each of their wins without a complete roster for any game by 10 points. Take NEBRASKA! |

Detroit still leads their division by three games and face the Saints who are also in first place in their division despite their 5-6 record as they play in a division 2here no team finished at .500. Head-to-head New Orleans has won six of the past nine meetings but have dropped two straight on the road on Atlanta and Minnesota and return to the Super Dome (? new name) for the first time in a month.

Georgia vs Alabama 4:00 ET Crimson Tide (+) over Bulldogs- I really can not remember the last time I saw Alabama as an underdog and not just a field goal but a number moving upward. To me and no so much to some others this sets up perfectly well almost but good enough. Maybe it would have been a bit been with the Bulldogs had romped over Georgia Tech but the Yellow Jackets were not all that bad this season. But, the way Alabama enters this fray after a virtual ‘Hail-Mary’ on the games final play has kept their Final-4 hope alive. Most people don’t believe the Tide shouldn’t even be here, a team the doesn’t belong in this championship game or in a fight for the national title. They have nothing to lose and have improved dramatically since their Texas defeat. It’s karma...Take ALABAMA! |

Does lighting strike twice do the Wildcats have the Boilermakers number...we shall kind out Friday night in Evanston. Last season No. 1 Purdue was upended by the Wildcats 64-58 knocking Purdue off the Top ranking. The ‘Iron workers’ are undefeated and once are ranked No.1 and are 7-0 already with wins over three ranked teams #11 Gonzaga, #7 Tennessee and #4 Marquette. Northwestern has only one loss and is determined to have their basketball program recognized that they are the rise. This is Purdue first true road game and it being a conference game adds intensity from the Wildcats who are 4-0 at home. Take NORTHWESTERN! |

Pac-12 Championship Las Vegas, NV Oregon vs. Washington 8:00 ET Ducks (-) over Huskies- Seriously, this is the match-up of the NCAAF season with all due respect to the ‘Bama & Bulldog crowd but, I have been keen on both these squads all year and either one could win the National Championship. The QB’s for both Washington and Oregon could possible win the Heisman with Friday night winner with a good performance would probably emerge the favorite right now Vegas has Ducks quarterback Bo Nix a slight favorite over the Huskies Michael Penix. This line is an attention grabber as these two played to a 36-33 decision in mid October with UW getting the win and Oregon getting the money at +3.5. Could be the line is a reflection of the Ducks scoring 45.3 PPG (2nd) and they allow just 15.9 (7th), since their loss they have won six straight by 29.3 PPG. Nix has 37 TD passes and just two int’s (go back and read that again), Penix has 32 TD passes and eight ints and Nix has a 189.8 passer efficiency rating second only to LSU’s Jayden Daniels (he is unbelievable). My personal issue with taking Oregon who I like in the re-match is that I have so much company with them as so many see the revenge factor as a motivation but in send game revenge in Championship games they have split virtually even 51-50 and it doesn’t matter which. I am hoping that the high point spread attracts many players it would me but the ‘sharps’ are who drove this line to where it is now...way too high. Washington is frickin’ good. I’ve watched them all season and their offensive line is awesome and what I’ve seen of Oregon is that Bo Nix is in command and his previous experience at Auburn and last season in Pullman has matured him into a great college quarterback and dare I say he reminds me of Brady. I wonder a bit if I lean toward Nix for all the abuse I hurled at him when playing for Auburn when he just didn’t have the team support, coaching and the maturity needed. But, I am still liking...OREGON! |

11-30-23 | Seahawks +9.5 v. Cowboys | Top | 35-41 | Win | 100 | 44 h 53 m | Show |
Seattle at Dallas 8:15 ET Seahawks (+) over Cowboys- These two NFC clubs are moving on opposite directions as Dallas is picking up momentum and has been destroying visiting teams while the Seahawks have dropped their last two and three of four. In the last meeting in September 2020 Seattle won and covered at home and has covered the last four meetings with the squads goes 5-5 in their last 10 SU. The Cowboys have been perfect at home going 5-0 both SU and ATS with an average score of 41-12 with the least amount of points scored in their home opener against the NY Jets when they managed only 30 points. Seattle blew a game late to the Rams and were out classed at home by San Francisco on Thanksgiving (‘Turkey’ selection loser). The Seahawks are really nothing more than a midland club that ranks in the lower third of both offensive and defensive categories. But, somehow Pete Carroll (oh, so over-rated!) and Geno Smith will be at their best for this nation audience. Take SEATTLE! |

He isn’t the only Miami player on the shelf as Tyler Hero has missed 10 straight and their best defensive forward Haywood Highsmith is out as well. The Heat pay pressure defense something the Pacers no nothing about as they are 29th in defensive rating but number 1 on offensive NBA pace of play. The Heat have too many men down and the Pacers will ware what is left down Take INDIANA! |

Texas Tech at Butler 6:30 ET Red Raiders (+) over Butler- Neither of these clubs are ranked among the Top-25 but that doesn’t mean that one or the other or both won’t get there or end up there, they both have programs that have played quality basketball over time. Butler seems to be a bit short here after posting wins over Penn State and Boise State after getting tripped up by No. 19 Florida Atlantic 91-86 getting 6.5 and are 3-0 ATS in their last three and 3-0 at home. Texas Tech has gone 5-1 SU but just 2-4 ATS ad this is their first true road game and that is something that I usually like to play against but they have had two neutral tournament games. After losing to a weak Villanova squad 85-69, they responded with a 73-57 win over Michigan as a 2.5 home dog. The number tell me that it is a Red Raiders day. Take TEXAS TECH! |

Texas A&M at Virginia 7:15 ET Cavaliers over Aggies- Well, this will be my attempt this season in college basketball where I will be using a tried and true trend in NCAAM. Texas A&M is ranked No. 14 and they come to Charlottesville in the SEC/ACC Challenge and here we have an un-ranked Virginia team a favorite on the opening line against a ranked team Texas A&M club. The Cavaliers (5-1) are a gutty crew that wears you down and are 3-0 at home while the Aggies are 2-0 in their only two road games. This will be a contrast of styles as A&M likes to run the court and throws up over 64.4 shots per game averaging 79.3 ppg while the Cavs attempt just 51 shots but hold their opponents to 53.1 ppg ranked No. 2 in the nation.

They set an NBA record last time out with a record 11 three-point shots in one quarter as they defeated Chicago 118-109 after trailing by 21 points. But, the Nets will be short-handed tonight with three players watching from court-side and most important they will be without Nic Claxton. Toronto is coming off their worst shooting night of the season in their 105-103 loss at Cleveland. Fortunes changes tonight. Take TORONTO! |

Baltimore is 8-3 and have won five of six while the Chargers have lost five games by 3-points or less. The Ravens will be shorthanded without tight end Mark Andrews who is Lamar Jackson’s favorite target. LA has dropped their last two games to Detroit and Green Bay and at No. 13 in the AFC need this game more than the Ravens. LA coach Brandon Staley is on the hot seat and this game may determine just when he will be let go. Take LA CHARGES! |

The Suns routed Memphis and keep the pressure on lte although they had a huge lead because during this in-season competition point differential is a factor in advancement. After starting 2-4 the Knicks have won seven wins in their last nine games while the Suns who started 3-6 has won seven straight. So the Suns are hot but with will cool in NYC today. Take NEW YORK! |

Pittsburgh at Cincinnati 1:00 ET Bengals (+) over Steelers- Got to love it...we played against Cincinnati at Baltimore and they lost more than the game as Joe ‘Cool’ Burrow was removed from the game for the rest of the season. Pittsburgh with their defense (they have no offense) has won six of 10 games and yet has been out-gained yardage wise in all 10 encounters. The surprising fact is the Steelers are ranked No. 27 in total defense and this could be the week it all catches up with them. The Bengals have won 4-of-5 meetings with the Pitt with the win coming by 3-points in overtime. Jake Browning is stepping into the leading role and the Bengals have confidence in his ability as a QB and I guess they should know. Take CINCINNATI! |

This year it seems that Dallas is able to mesh all their talent and is now a legitimate contender. LA have had their own troubles meshing new talent and had won three in-a-row until last night as New Orleans ended their mini streak. Look for the Clippers to start a new streak tonight. Take the LA CLIPPERS! |

Alabama at Auburn 3:30 ET Tigers (+) over Crimson Tide- The Iron Bowl may not have the SEC Championship on the line but it has national implications. Alabama has remained alive and has improved each week as the season progressed and they still have a legitimate shot at winning it all. Auburn would probably be a lot better if Bo Nix remained a Tiger but otherwise they have been nothing special but reeled off three straight wins to become bowl eligible and got caught by New Mexico State last week in their look-ahead game and lost 31-10 as a 25-point favorite. The Tigers were so disinterested they had only 10 first downs with 209 total yards on offense...the may not have the talent but the Tigers will be roaring this week. Take AUBURN! |

Ohio State at Michigan 12:00 ET Wolverines (-) over Buckeyes- I have all kinds of information and trends on the biggest game of the 2023 college football season as a pair of undefeated Big Ten powerhouses clash at noon kicking off Rivalry Saturday. Being No. 2 or 3 really doesn’t mean much to these 11-0 teams but I bucking a NCAAF trend that will be difficult to stand against. According to Playbook when a pair of undefeated 10-0 teams or better meet the underdog has won outright nine times and is a perfect 10 ATS. Tough numbers to go against but that is what it will take to win here. This game is being played because the Wolverines have shown better with the eye test or personal observation. With the fact that I believe that with or without Jim Harbaugh hey are that much better. Take MICHIGAN! |

Oregon State at Oregon 8:30 ET Ducks (-) over Beavers- The development of quarterback Bo Nix who has started more college Division I games than any other QB has been ‘light years’ and I mean at Auburn he just wasn’t the man. Now, a more mature and composed Nix is one of the leading candidates for the Heisman Trophy. When I started covering this match-up it was called the Civil War and now if we refer to it as that we may face ‘cancel culture’ but on the field the players will fiercely battle it out. You learn in the military that the superior firepower will always win out and the Ducks have much more firepower than do the Beavers. A pair of losses in their last four games has taken a bit of bit out of the Beavers...take OREGON! |

Iowa at Nebraska 12:00 ET Cornhuskers (+) over Hawkeyes- It has been a long draught for a school like Nebraska missing a bowl game as they haven’t qualified with enough wins since 2016. No. 17 Iowa (9-2) has got to be the worst Top-20 team that I have every seen in my lifetime and I am not kidding. The Hawkeyes have one of lowest scoring offenses in the country averaging just 18.5 points per game ranking No. 121 out of 130 FBS teams. Iowa is not only going to a bowl game but will play for the Big Ten championship against either Ohio State or Michigan next week. The Cornhuskers hold a 30-20-3 edge over Iowa who celebrated like they won the super bowl capturing a spot in the Big Ten title game. Huskers have more incentive and become bowl eligible with their win here. Take NEBRASKA! |

San Francisco at Seattle 8:15 ET Seahawks (+) over 49ers- Certainly, the key factor surrounding this game is not just the availability of QB Geno Smith and effectiveness. As good as he has been throughout his coaching career Pete Carroll still loses more time with his in-game decisions. Now, coming off a loss to the Rams that never show have happened they host the Niners who are on a roll. But, `one thing that is certain in the NFL is that you-never really now until the dealing is done (excuse me Kenny). Brock Purdy who many had already written off as a fluke leads the NFL in passer rating at 115.1 completion rate 70.2% and yards per attempt with 9.7 yards. Still, he is Mr. Irrelevant and falls short here. Take SEATTLE! |

Mississippi at Mississippi State 7:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Rebels- It has been a very disappointing season for the Bulldogs as they need this win over arch rival Mississippi to become bowl eligible. Mississippi State has possession of the Golden Egg after last year’s 24-22 win. A victory would help wipe away the disappointment of s season where their head coach was fired 10 days ago after a 51-10 loss to Texas A&M (who also fired their coach Jimbo Fisher after that game). State played a good portion of the season with quarterback Will Rogers (how could I play against Will Rogers) who has returned along with running back and Jo’Quavios Marks. Rogers missed four games because of a should injury and Marks missed three with a leg injury and both are back at full strength. Rogers was sorely missed as even with his absence he hold every Bulldogs passing record. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE! |

The Denver Nuggets overcame the early departure of their best player to snap a four-game road skid in their last outing. Jokic, who boasts team-best averages in points (27.4), rebounds (13.1) and assists (8.7) this season.

The Chiefs (7-2) have the best record in the AFC and have swept the last four meetings, including 38-35 in Super Bowl LVII on Feb. 12. Both teams are coming off bye weeks. Andy Reid is the winningest head coach in the history of both franchises. Jalen Hurts is in the MVP race again this season as he has completed a career-high 68.9 percent of his passes for 2,347 yards with 15 touchdowns also with eight interceptions while Patrick Mahomes has about the same numbers with 2,442 yards and 17 touchdowns and has also thrown eight picks. The Kelce's Chiefs are also 4-0 against older brother Jason Kelce, the center for the Eagles but gets his brotherly revenge tonight. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Minnesota at Denver 8:15 ET Broncos over Vikings- As Dandy Don used to say ‘turn out the lights sweet darling, the party’s over’...So much for Minnesota quarterback, astronaut, doctor, physics theorist and all around talent is about to meet his Waterloo Sunday night. No question Josha Dobbs has been a great story but he has been a starter for three different teams with in four months and maybe there is a reason teams were willing to part with him so quickly.

New York Jets at Buffalo 4:25 ET Jets (+) over Bills- What do you know, what do say...Buffalo is 5-5 and the hard part of their schedule is coming up and I do not mean the Jets. New York opened the season with a come-from-behind no-Aaron Rogers win and posted the 22-16 upset victory. Bills QB Josh Allen who leads the NFL in turnovers (11 Ints) had four that day and he has yet to show this season the form that made Buffalo the odds on favorite to win it all last season. The Bills are reeling and fired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey and Allen says he feel responsible and he is. New York hasn’t scored an offensive touchdown in over 11 quarters as Zach Wilson struggles continue. But, the Jets defense is stout and the Jets need to muster just some scoring to win and they get it here. Take NEW YORK JETS! |

Last season the 76ers swept the Nets in the first round of the playoffs and did the same during the regular season willing all four meetings.

Fortuitously we have make the correct choices with and against LA but with the Packers it has been a different story.Green Bay has lost our one-score games and simple thing like extra points have left them and ‘us’ on the short end of the point spread. True Justin Herbert may end up one of the games greats but he will be missing three receivers this week including All-Pro Keenan Allen.

But, this is a tough spot for the undefeated Huskies as Oregon State has won 16 of 17 at home. The Beavers still have an outside shot at the Pac-12 Championship and will be all-in for this battle and they have the offensive tools to complete with the nation’s fifth ranked scoring offense (41 points per game). Beavers QB DJ Uiaglelei has 20 TD passes and just four INTS. Take OREGON STATE! |

New York at Charlotte 6:00 ET Hornets (+) over Knicks- When I look at the Charlotte roster I am trying to figure out if they are having a poor start or are they really this bad. At 3-7 and having lost their last three while getting blown out twice including last night by the Bucks 130-99. New York has won their last two and 5-of-6 including a 129-107 home win over the Hornets ix days ago on Saturday. Hornets All-Stars Gordon Hayward and LeMalo Ball are off terrible shooting nights and I expect a turn-a-bout is in order hear and for the Hornets to be standing tall at the end. Take CHARLOTTE! |

11-18-23 | Central Florida +2.5 v. Texas Tech | Top | 23-24 | Win | 100 | 22 h 24 m | Show |
Central Florida at Texas Tech 5:00 ET Knights (+) over Red Raiders- Lucky enough to have the Game of Year winner with Florida State last week and played Texas Tech an outright winner at Kansas so I believe I have a good feel for this meeting. The Red Raiders need a win to become bowl eligible as well as Central Florida. The Knights season was derailed by injuries to QB John Rhys Plumlee as they dropped five in a row after a 3-0 start. UCF averages nearly 500 yards per game offensively ranking No. 3 in rushing with 233.7 YPG and they average 7.2 yards per play. Tech’s defense is Big-12 middle of the pack and will be overcome before games end. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA! |

11-18-23 | Georgia v. Tennessee +10.5 | Top | 38-10 | Loss | -110 | 37 h 2 m | Show |
Georgia at Tennessee 3:30 ET Volunteers (+) over Bulldogs- Do ya think that Tennessee was looking ahead to this match-up last week while they were getting whooped 36-7 at Missouri...I’m counting on it! Georgia is No. 1 again and they should be, after all a back-to-back champion that hasn’t lost yet as their win streak is at 27 one win shy of Alabama’s SEC record 28. The Volunteers have a winning streak of their own where they have captured their last 14 games at Neyland Stadium including a win over Alabama last season. The Bulldogs should be confident as they have won the last six meetings but the Vols have been pointing to this contest and will be at their best. Take TENNESSEE! |

11-16-23 | Bengals v. Ravens -3.5 | Top | 20-34 | Win | 100 | 29 h 24 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Baltimore 8:15 ET Ravens (-) over Bengals- It looked like Baltimore was ready to run away with the division leading Cleveland 31-17 at home with 8:50 left in the final quarter when Deshaun Watson led a six-play 75-yard TD drive and they and 41 seconds later an interception returned for a touchdown and the rest is history. The loss ended the Ravens four game winning streak as did the Bengals while falling to Houston. Although both clubs lost by game ending field goals Cincinnati’s loss had more impact moving forward. The major difference is in the defenses where the Ravens have the No. 2 ranked defense allowing just 273 ypg and the Bengals rank 30th allowing 384 ypg while the league average is 332. The Bengals are not today the team that we have seen in the past, on offense either where they are ranked No. 24 with 301 ypg while the Poe boys are at 362 ypg. I believe that at some time probably after the season we will hear that Joe Burrow has had some kind of injury...just sayin’...Take BALTIMORE! |

Boston College at Pittsburgh 7:00 ET Panthers over Eagles- This game has got to be in the ‘gaff’ for Pittsburgh to win. Boston College is so superior that they had already become Bowl eligible before last weeks annihilation at Virginia Tech ending their five-game winning streak. Now, at 2-8 after off a loss to Syracuse who plated the entire game without a quarterback (that’s right) and still lost 28-13. so, trying to grasp Pitt being favored...I have to put my trust that the bookmaker knows more than I do...therefore or ergo take...PITTSBURGH. |

Cleveland at Portland 10:00 ET Cavaliers (-) over Trailblazers- Portland was not expected to be contenders this season and so far the pundits have been right on as they return home after a three game road trip and four straight losses. Cleveland has been a bit overpriced as they are here but have defeated the Trailblazers in each of the last four meetings and the wins were by 18 points at home and six points in Portland. This line is stating that the Blazers who committed 17 turnovers in their last contest and had seven players with two or more has its NBA stock at a low price. Take CLEVELAND! |

11-15-23 | Wolves v. Suns -5.5 | Top | 115-133 | Win | 100 | 10 h 11 m | Show |
Minnesota at Phoenix 9:00 ET Suns (-) over Timberwolves- After sweeping a two game set at Golden State Minnesota must now go to Phoenix where the 4-6 Suns will be waiting. The Timberwolves are off to their best start in franchise history at 7-2 while the Suns are just 1-4 at home and have dropped their last two. Phoenix has won eight of the last nine meeting with the T’wolves pulling off the victory in their last meeting last January in the desert. This seems like a really high price to pay as Phoenix has yet to put it together offensively ranking 22nd while Minnesota’s defense is No.1 overall. But, last night’s win over the Warriors took its toll and the Suns will take advantage. Take PHOENIX! |

LA Clippers at Denver 10:00 ET Clippers (+) over Nuggets- The Los Angeles Clippers traded for James Harden but so far they've stumbled with him in the mix. Los Angeles has lost five straight games, four of those with Harden in the lineup. Denver is coming off a loss at Houston on Sunday night in a game that showed how much the absence of Jamal Murray is affecting the Nuggets' rotations. Reggie Jackson has moved into the starting lineup and has played well, and rookie Collin Gillespie has served as the backup point guard. It didn't work out well against the Rockets as the bench was outscored 31-8 by Houston's reserves. Take the LA CLIPPERS! |

11-13-23 | Broncos +7.5 v. Bills | Top | 24-22 | Win | 100 | 10 h 40 m | Show |
Denver at Buffalo 8:15 ET Broncos (+) over Bills- The Broncos (3-5) celebrated their most recent win over the Kansas City Chiefs during their bye week while the Bills (5-4) seek redemption from a loss at Cincinnati last Sunday. Denver is putting up stellar numbers defensively of late and kept three straight opponents under 20 points and kept the Chiefs out of the end zone prior to the bye week. Although five opponents averaged better than 4.7 yards per carry in the first eight games, and the Broncos are 32nd in the NFL in allowing 154.1 rushing yards per game. No problem the Bills do not run the ball adise from Allen for the most part. The Broncos are making a clear commitment to the ground game, calling a season-high 40 rushing plays against the Chiefs and posting consecutive games with at least 145 rushing yards. Take DENVER! |

Minnesota at Golden State 8:30 ET Timberwolves (+) over Warriors- Streaks are common in the NBA and Timberwolves are riding a five-game winning streak, the Warriors won five in a row earlier this season. They have since lost three of their past four games. Former Timberwolves small forward Andrew Wiggins is averaging 11 points per game, still is struggling from 3-point range, however. He went 1-for-4 from beyond the arc on Saturday and is 4-for-24 on the season a 16.7 percent clip. For his career, he is shooting 35.2 percent from long distance. The T’wolves are playing like a team that is determined to move it in class, a win here would help. Take MINNESOTA! |

New York Jets at Las Vegas 8:15 ET Jets over Raiders- I understand and know full heartedly that the Las Vegas Raiders are terrible and a coaching change and a win over the Tommy DeVito led Giants isn’t really anything. Now, the difference between the Giants QB and the Jets Zach Wilson may not be that great an improvement but defensively the Jets get the edge. Rookie QB O’Connell will make the grade for the Raiders but it is a bit early yet, he will have to earn his strips and pay his dues like he will Sunday night. Take NEW YORK JETS |

Pacers (+) over 76ers- The surging 76ers and Indiana Pacers carry winning streaks into their clash on Sunday in Philadelphia. The 76ers, who also will host the Pacers on Tuesday in an NBA in-season tournament game, recorded their seventh straight victory over the Detroit Pistons on Friday. Indiana, in turn, notched its third consecutive win on Thursday a 126-124 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. Indiana's Tyrese Haliburton collected his seventh double-double in eight games this season and Bennedict Mathurin added his first career double-double with a season-high 26 points and 11 rebounds. Pacers improved...Take INDIANA! |

Detroit at Los Angeles Chargers 4:05 ET Chargers over Lions- Oh, what a perfect set-up ( at least in my mind)! The way the Chargers look even in winning Monday night are a very hard ‘take’ while Detroit is off a win over the Raiders. They will be the much fresher team, as it comes off a bye week, while the Chargers earned a road win over the New York Jets on Monday night. This LA Chargers team is always in position to disappoint their backers and for they most part they do and for the most part as favorites. But, they are in a different role right down being played as an underdog at home. They have a tendency to surprise and they will again here. Take LOS ANGELES CHARGERS! |

11-11-23 | Duke v. North Carolina -13 | Top | 45-47 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 7 m | Show |
Duke at North Carolina 8:00 ET Tar Heels (-) over Blue Devils- On the hardwood, the diamond or the gridiron these two rivals will be at emotional season highs. No.24 North Carolina (7-2, 3-2 ACC) has lost its last two conference games, while Duke (6-3, 3-2) snapped a two-game slide by topping Wake Forest last week. The Tar Heels have one of the most accomplished quarterbacks in the country in quarterback Drake Maye, who's expected to enter the 2024 NFL Draft and be a first round pick. Three different starting quarterbacks have directed Duke victories this season including freshman Grayson Loftis who will make his second career start and his first on the road. Mack Brown is in his second stint as North Carolina's coach. He has been in charge in 12 consecutive North Carolina victories in the series, last falling to the Blue Devils in 1989. The BEAT goes on...Take NORTH CAROLINA! |

Oklahoma State at Central Florida 3:30 ET Knights (+) over Cowboys- They can’t set themselves up much better than this one with Oklahoma State coming off a Bedlam rivalry win over Oklahoma. It was the Cowboys biggest win in the 19 years Mike Gundy has been coaching in Stillwater and the result was a field-storming rampage that had fans taking down the gol post and dumping it into a pond. OSU has won five straight all Big-12 Conference games while UCF has struggled to win just four of nine games played. The Knights lead the conference in rushing with 227 PYG and broke a five-game losing streak at Cincinnati last week. All stats favor the Cowboys except for one number...the number the bookies put on the game. Way too short for these teams past performances! Take CENTRAL FLORIDA! |

11-11-23 | Utah +9 v. Washington | Top | 28-35 | Win | 100 | 7 h 55 m | Show |
Utah at Washington 3:30 ET Utes (+) over Huskies- Washington’s Dillon Johnson rushed for 256 yards, the same number that Penix threw for and four touchdowns as the Huskies won 52-42 last week in Los Angeles besting USC. That will be hard to repeat against No. 18 Utah’s (7-2, 4-2 Pac-12) defense that is ranked first in the Pac-12 in both points allowed (15.9) and yards allowed (282.3) per game. After taking a 35-6 loss to then-No. 8 Oregon at home two weeks ago, the Utes bounced back with a 55-3 blowout of Arizona State. Utah held the Sun Devils to just 83 total yards -- 43 rushing and 40 passing. Arizona State converted just 1 of 15 third-down attempts. A drop in intensity will be natural for the Huskies. Take UTAH! |

Michigan at Penn State 12:00 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Wolverines- This selection has nothing to due with the noise that is surrounding the Michigan football program but a more basic factor that I expounded upon before. If you were with me a few weeks ago I posted Ohio State over Penn State for the simple reason that at that time the Nittany Loins had not played any real competition and that is where the Wolverines are here. This will be their first real test and it will be on the road at Beaver Stadium in Happy Valley. Take PENN STATE! |

No. 17 San Diego State who caught the attention of America last year making it to the NCAAM Finals has always had trouble when playing BYU. The Cougars hold a 50-27 series edge over the Aztecs including 30-4 all-time in Provo. Take BYU! |

New Mexico vs St. Mary’s 10:00 ET Lobos (+) over Gaels- This will be the second straight season that New Mexico (1-0) has made the trek to play the Gaels. The Lobos enjoyed a successful journey last year as they stopped the St. Mary’s 23-game home winning streak with a 69-65 decision, part of a 14-0 start that briefly got New Mexico ranked in the Top 25. The Lobos tuned up for the rematch by walloping Texas Southern 92-55 on Monday night in its season opener in Albuquerque. It was the largest margin of victory for the Lobos vs. a Division I foe under third-year coach Richard Pitino. Ordinarily, I would look to play against the Lobos with a win like that and with revenge in Saints favor but I was reminded that a Pitino was coaching. Take NEW MEXICO! |

Phoenix at Chicago 7:00 ET Bulls (+) over Suns- The Phoenix Suns stopped a three-game losing streak on Sunday although the team remains cautious when it comes to the return of guards Devin Booker (calf) and Bradley Beal (back). Booker hasn't played since suffering a calf strain against San Antonio on Thursday and Beal hasn't played for his new team since the preseason. Chicago snapped a three-game skid of its own on Monday with a 130-113 home rout of Utah that saw a season-high eight Bulls score in double figures. The Suns are coming off their first back-to-back this season. Phoenix has won seven straight games against Chicago and yet opened an underdog for this one...Take CHICAGO! |

Auburn vs Baylor Tigers (+) over Bears- No. 20 Baylor and Auburn will meet Tuesday when they open their respective seasons at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, S.D. Baylor was 23-11 last season and lost to Creighton in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The Bears return just one starter, forward Jalen Bridges from the 2022-23 team. Auburn is also in rebuilding mode, but not as drastically as the Bears are. The Tigers went 21-13 in 2022-23 and also advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament before losing to Houston. Five-star freshman Aden Holloway, a 2023 McDonald's All-American, is the highlight of the Tigers' incoming class and is expected to step into the starting point guard position. Of the 10 players in the Tigers' anticipated rotation, eight are upperclassmen. Take AUBURN! |

11-06-23 | Clippers v. Knicks +1 | Top | 97-111 | Win | 100 | 9 h 58 m | Show |
LA Clippers at New York 7:30 ET Knicks over Clippers- James Harden will make his 2023-24 debut Monday, when he and the Los Angeles Clippers visit the Knicks in the first clash of the season between the teams. Harden played a total of just 159 games in three seasons for the Brooklyn Nets and 76ers since January 2021. He will be added to a starting lineup that includes Paul George, Kawhi Leonard and Russell Westbrook. Only one of those four is a winner and yet he is a dog. New York Knicks are more concerned with ensuring they are more than Jalen Brunson who was 17 of 30 from the field while finishing with 45 points, on Friday’s 110-105 loss at Milwaukee. The 40-point game was the fifth for Brunson since he joined New York prior to last season. The Knicks are 0-2 both SU and ATS at home dropping games to Boston and Cleveland this year but will post their first MSG home win of the season tonight. Take NEW YORK! |

Buffalo at Cincinnati 8:15 ET Bills (+) over Bengals- From what I have heard this week the Bills died about a year ago while in the playoffs when the Bengals took them apart from start to finish. Cincinnati has become the darling of the public with Joe Burrow back and a convincing win over San Francisco.The Bengals have won their last three while Buffalo has had some extra time to heal after their non-cover win over Tampa Bay a week ago Thursday. The line is too short and the money too strong on the Bengals to pass up...the Bills. Take BUFFALO! |

Golden State at Cleveland 6:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Warriors- ‘Times are a changin’...Golden State who struggled on the road last season winning just 11 games as visitors are already 4-0 as travelers this year. While the Warriors are the winningest road team in the NBA Cleveland is the losingest home team in the NBA and are 0-3 as hosts. So, it seems a bit odd to me that the Cavaliers would open as the favorite in this contest. Cleveland also lost its most recent game, a 121-116 road decision Friday night against the Pacers in their In-Season Tournament opener.The good news for the Cavaliers is the return to action of Jarrett Allen and Darius Garland. Allen made his season debut Friday after suffering a bruised left ankle during training camp, while Garland hadn't played since straining his left hamstring on opening night. In the starting lineup, Garland went for 14 points and six assists in 32 minutes, while Allen had 10 points and seven rebounds in 21 minutes. Their return is the reason the Cav’s are favored here and will win. Take CLEVELAND! |

The Eagles are flying high after another conference win over Washington coming from behind to do it Philadelphia just looks like they are getting better. each time out. There is one thing...Jalen Hurts is hurting! There is one thing that we can not deny and that is the Cowboys ability to make big plays on defense and for some reason it appears that Dak Prescott is at his best against these birds of prey.

UCLA at Arizona 7:30 ET Bruins (-) over Wildcats- Arizona is looking for its third consecutive victory over a ranked team but will have to solve No. 19 UCLA's chaos-creating defense. The Wildcats (5-3, 3-2 Pac-12) will be trying to make a claim of their own for the Top 25 if they knock off the Bruins (6-2, 3-2), who are 10th nationally in total defense (277.5 yards allowed per game), third in sacks (3.88 per game) and fourth in tackles for loss (8.2). UCLA's two losses at Utah and at Oregon State were by a combined 19 points. Arizona's three losses at Mississippi State (overtime), Washington, at USC (triple overtime) were decided by a total of 16 points. For sure, Arizona won't catch UCLA by surprise. The Wildcats, last season upset the then-No. 9 Bruins 34-28 in Pasadena, Calif., on Nov. 12, 2022. Revenge is SWEET! Take UCLA |

Chip’s ‘Guaranteed’ SEC Game of Month L.S.U.at Alabama 7:45 ET Tigers (+) over Crimson Tide- I heard so much about this match-up all summer it got to the point that I had to play against LSU in their opener (they lost to FSU) because so many had them penciled entering this game against Alabama undefeated. It’s amazing to me that all summer I get reports how Nick Saban has four different 5-Star recruits competing for the Tides starting quarterbacking job and up until their starting QB’s have gone starless. Bama has the superior defense but the Tigers and their explosiveness give them the edge. I can not remember ever seeing the Tide this short a favorite at home, at not least in the Saban era...just sayin’. Take LSU! |

I mean from TV pundits to sports handicappers and college football fans from the third-world (which we are quickly becoming) is in LOVE with Oklahoma State. Yes, they have had a good run from the point of the season when they were on the brink yes on the brink of going under .500 but have rallied since. The Sooners are only on the brink of crushing their inferior in-state rival (the Texas game is bigger). Oklahoma has won 7-of-8 meetings and is 91-19-7 lifetime in the series that started in 1910. The Sooners are led by QB Dillon Gabriel who has 19 TD passes and only four Int’s while averaging 489 yard per game. Take OKLAHOMA! |
