01-03-21 | Packers v. Bears +4.5 | 35-16 | Loss | -120 | 24 h 42 m | Show | |
Green Bay at Chicago 4:25 ET Bears (+) over Packers- Win and you after IN! After starting 5-1 Chicago didn't believe that they could be in this spot and after losing six-in-a-row they still can't believe that they are in this spot! Green Bay can clinch the No. 1 overall seed with a win and a single bye in each conference is huge. Aaron Rodgers the rightful MVP this season is going to play but so will Mitch Trubisky and he's led an offense scoring 30, 36, 33 and 41 in the past four weeks. Take CHICAGO! |

01-03-21 | Raiders v. Broncos +3 | 32-31 | Win | 100 | 24 h 34 m | Show | |
Las Vegas at Denver 4:25 ET Broncos (+) over Raiders- The last time these two met in October the Las Vegas was a high roller and were riding high at 6-3 and talking about the playoffs. Well, after losing five of the last six with their only win coming on a Hail-Mary victory over the New York Jets they be walking the strip. The Raiders are depressed and despondent and have placed seven players on the injury list and they have other that missed practice this week. Note that the home team is 7-2 ATS in this series and the underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take DENVER! |

01-03-21 | Saints v. Panthers +5.5 | 33-7 | Loss | -109 | 24 h 33 m | Show | |
New Orleans at Carolina 4:25 ET Panthers (+) over Saints- In a convoluted way New Orleans is still live for the No. 1 overall seed and a bye for the playoffs if...Packers lose and Seahawks wins. Carolina has played much better than the record indicates and they have dealt with major injuries the entire season. Last week as 'our' Megabucks winner the Panthers dominated Washington in their park and return home where they won just twice over Arizona 21-16 and Detroit 20-0. The thing I like best is that have not quit and they play tough defense at home. Note that Carolina is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and the underdog is 11-2 in the last 13 meetings and the panthers are 8-1 in last nine as underdogs. Take CAROLINA! |
|||||||
01-03-21 | Cowboys v. Giants +1.5 | 19-23 | Win | 100 | 20 h 21 m | Show | |
Dallas at New York Giants 1:00 ET Giants (+) over Cowboys- The winner here will end up the NFC East champs if Washington loses Sunday night at Philadelphia. If the Giants win and manage to get into the playoffs it will be with the worst record at 6-10 for a playoff team to qualify. The previous worst record for a team getting in was Seattle in 2010 as they were 7-9 and Carolina was 7-8-1 in 2014. The Giants have lost seven straight to Dallas including a 37-34 game this year when New York committed crucial errors in the last two minutes and the Cowboys scored twice to steal the win. This time they get it done! Take the NEW YORK GIANTS! |

01-03-21 | Jets v. Patriots -3 | 14-28 | Win | 101 | 20 h 15 m | Show | |
New York Jets at New England 1:00 ET Patriots (-) over Jets- New England is finishing the season under .500 for the first time since 2000 and are missing the playoffs for just the second time in the past 20 years. Meanwhile, the Jets are celebrating having posted two wins on the season and good for them but that's all they are going to get! Understand this and I know that you do, Bill Belichick doesn't like to lose anytime and he will start Cam Newton in the final game of the year knowing he has no future with the club, but he wants that win this week especially after their performance Monday night against Buffalo. Take the PATRIOTS! |
|||||||
01-03-21 | Steelers v. Browns -9 | 22-24 | Loss | -113 | 20 h 4 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh at Cleveland 1:00 ET Browns (-) over Steelers- They have got to be kidding! The bookmakers have installed Cleveland who has yet to qualify for the playoffs and need a win as double-digit favorites over arch rival Pittsburgh. Now, we understand that Big Ben will sit and I imagine many others will as well. But, it looks like Tomlin is sacrificing this game and they players aren't going to risk anything bad happening. The Browns will look to atone for their last to the Jets last week and even if they win are not guaranteed a playoff spot. Steelers who started 11-0 have dropped three of four and another loss here is almost certain. Take CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
01-02-21 | North Carolina v. Texas A&M -7 | 27-41 | Win | 100 | 27 h 41 m | Show | |
North Carolina vs Texas A&M 8:00 ET Tar Heels (+) over Aggies- All season long I've saying that Aggies just don't pass the eye test and are not as impressive as the media makes them out to be. But, I may be wrong as as they are 7-0 ATS in their last seven games as the only game the failed to cover was against Alabama 52-24 and I believe that's when I soured on them. North Carolina has one of the top offense in college football scoring 43 points per game while averaging 557 yards per game including 250 rushing and 300 passing. After scoring 62 points in their final game against Miami where they ran for 554 yards the Heels will find the going a little tougher here. Take TEXAS A&M! |
|||||||
01-02-21 | Oregon +5 v. Iowa State | Top | 17-34 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 42 m | Show |
Oregon vs Iowa State 4:00 ET Ducks (+) over Cyclones- Wally Pipp felt ill took himself out of the lineup and never played again as Lou Gehrig did the next 2,130 games. Well, the Washington Huskies felt ill and the Oregon Ducks filled in quite nicely in the Pac-12 Championship game defeating USC 31-24 and they are still playing. Iowa State recovered after an opening week loss to Louisiana-Lafayette winning 8-of-9 before falling in the Big-12 Championship game to Oklahoma 27-21. Like most Pac-12 teams the Ducks struggle out of conference 5-11-1 ATS last 17 but are 25-9 ATS playing on grass. Although Iowa State is 16-7 ATS after a SU loss they are 2-7 ATS in non-conference games and 0-6 ATS at neutral sites. Take OREGON! |
|||||||
01-02-21 | Kentucky -2.5 v. NC State | 23-21 | Loss | -107 | 19 h 33 m | Show | |
N.C. State vs Kentucky 12:00 ET Wildcats over Wolfpack- This has got to be the 'Don't Make Sense' Game of the Year! Let's me set the table here if you will. N.C. State closed their season with four straight wins, they are ranked No. 23 and are 8-3 on the season. Saturday the face a 4-6 Kentucky team that has no offense as they average just 311 ypg and just 124 yards passing. The Wolfpack went 2-3 against nationally ranked teams while the Wildcats were 0-4. I do see an issue with State as they are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games against the SEC and Kentucky is 7-0 ATS in their last seven non-conference games. Take the WILDCATS! |
|||||||
01-01-21 | Ohio State +7.5 v. Clemson | Top | 49-28 | Win | 100 | 27 h 39 m | Show |
Ohio State vs Clemson 8:00 ET Buckeyes (+) over Tigers- No. 11, yup, that where Dabo Swinney ranks the Buckeyes and if you don't think that statement wasn't billboard material think again. The Tigers' head coach wasn't actually saying he thinks they are the 11th beat team in the country he was stating that you shouldn't be playing for the NCAA Championship with a five-game regular season resume. I understand that Trevor Lawrence is who we think he is but the Buckeyes will have him in their sights. Ohio State looked lack luster and even sluggish in the Big Ten Championship game against Northwestern and we find out for good reason. The last time these two met OSU had a 16-0 lead 25 minutes into the game and Clemson closed strong winning 29-23. This time the Buckeyes get it done a full 60 minutes. Take OHIO STATE! |
|||||||
01-01-21 | Notre Dame +20 v. Alabama | 14-31 | Win | 100 | 22 h 19 m | Show | |
Notre Dame vs Alabama 4:00 ET Fighting Irish (+) over Crimson Tide- The Fighting Irish did exactly as we thought would do against Clemson as we laid -10 and were never threatened and in the meantime Alabama was cruising along scoring 49.7-points a game and going 11-0. Georgia was the only team to have a half time lead against the Tide and the Crimson blew out the Bulldogs halfway through the 3rd quarter winning and 'covering' 41-24 as a 6-point favorite. We acknowledge how powerful Alabama but still believe this year's Notre Dame team has reached a higher tier and I expect a great effort here. Take NOTRE DAME! |
|||||||
01-01-21 | Auburn +4 v. Northwestern | 19-35 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 19 m | Show | |
Auburn vs Northwestern 1:00 ET Tigers (+) over Wildcats- Auburn was one of the other teams that I looked to 'fade' most of the season as the media had made a big deal of QB Bo Nix who was a poor man's Tim Tebow. Northwestern is off the Big Ten championship game loss to Ohio State 22-10 after leading 10-6 at the half. I wonder if losing like that and blowing a chance at the title if their heart is in this matchup. In a news update Auburn fired head coach Gus Malzahn and defensive coordinator Kevin Steel as interim until former Boise Head coach Bryan Harsin takes over. Auburn is 6-1 ATS in their last seven non-conference games while although the Wildcats are 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine games overall they are 1-6-1 ATS out of conference. Take AUBURN! |
|||||||
01-01-21 | Cincinnati v. Georgia -7 | 21-24 | Loss | -120 | 18 h 20 m | Show | |
Georgia vs Cincinnati 12:00 ET Bulldogs (-) over Bearcats- All season long I have been riding the Bearcats and singing their praises to anyone would listen and at the same time all I did was bad mouth the Bulldogs. Well, Georgia made an adjustment and changed quarterbacks and started JT Daniels the USC transfer and they have been a different team ever since winning all three starts three scoring 31, 45 and 49 points in consecutive weeks. When I first heard of this bowl matchup I was silly with glee, it was the meeting I wanted and I said that Cincinnati would probably win the game outright. But, as it sets up No. 8 undefeated (9-0) Cincinnati is a touchdown underdog to No. 9 (7-2) Georgia. This is a Bearcats team that has beaten three ranked teams and yet the the oddsmaker likes the Bulldogs. Most season's I would have stuck with the non-Big-5 team but the nation's media to pumping Cincinnati to help aid the expansion of the playoffs. Too much attention on the upstarts...take GEORGIA! |

12-31-20 | West Virginia -6.5 v. Army | Top | 24-21 | Loss | -117 | 19 h 57 m | Show |
West Virginia vs Army 4:00 ET Mountaineers (-) over Cadets- Having been a former platoon Sergeant in the US Army it pains me to even write this up. Fort Campbell, KY and Fort Sill, OK stand proud as are both coming under fire for it's past policies and practices. After defeating Navy and Air Force on consecutive Saturdays to end the season the Cadets got this opportunity when Tennessee developed issues. So, the Army who had packed up their gear and ended their season had to unpack and start the 'show' up for one more game when this invite came along. Meanwhile, West Virginia hasn't missed a beat continuing to practice through all the crap. I could go on about schedules trends and such but it still comes down the the Cadets having ended a satisfying season (9-2 SU) and then end up getting drafted to play. Take the MOUNTAINEERS! |

12-31-20 | Ball State +10 v. San Jose State | 34-13 | Win | 100 | 17 h 56 m | Show | |
Ball State vs San Jose State 2:00 ET Cardinals (+) over Spartans- No. 22 ranked San Jose State is in un familiar terrible just being in a bowl game to start with and favored at that. Why so you ask. Well the Spartans were just 3-22 in Brent Brennan first two years as coach and improved to 5-7 last season and this year the perfect storm and they are 7-0 SU and 6-0-1 ATS. Ball State pulled off one the conference title games biggest upsets when the shut down Buffalo in the MAC and they are 7-0 in their n;last seven games as underdogs and 11-5 ATS in non-conference games. SJS has been playing well the last two seasons going 12-3-2 ATS in their last 17 games overall and are 15-5-1 ATS against teams with winning records but...they are 3-8 ATS out of conference. Take BALL STATE! |
|||||||
12-31-20 | Mississippi State +1.5 v. Tulsa | 28-26 | Win | 100 | 15 h 56 m | Show | |
Tulsa vs Mississippi State 12:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Golden Hurricane- Here we go with another losing team involved in a bowl game as 3-7 (Yup) Mississippi State makes their 11th straight bowl appearances in the Armed Forces Bowl. Tulsa (6-2) last played postseason in the Miami Bowl in 2015 and had won just nine games total in the previous three seasons. The Golden Hurricanes were 'game' in the AAC title game against undefeated Cincinnati 27-24. The Bulldogs opened the Mike Leach era with a win over LSU 44-34 and then lost seven of eight before closing with av 51-32 win over Missouri. With this line where it is the 'books' think that Tulsa is more just a 'Golden Shower.' Somehow...it's MISSISSIPPI STATE! |
|||||||
12-30-20 | Florida +6 v. Oklahoma | Top | 20-55 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 56 m | Show |
Florida vs Oklahoma 8:00 ET Gators (+) over Sooners- In this the most unusual of seasons in all sports the Cotton Bowl which set up as one of the best games of the entire bowl venue has been tainted by defections. Florida and Oklahoma ranked 7 and 6 were to have a battle matching epic offenses that were running on all 16 cylinders. Both quarterbacks Florida's Kyle Trask and the Sooners Spencer Rattler are exceptional as the Gator senior has 43 TD passes (10 more than any other QB) and the red-shirt Sooners freshman one of the nations top recruits and he has completed 68% of his passes with 25 TD passes averaging 280 ypg. But, as you must have noticed by now the line which had the Gators favored and climbing to minus-3 has turned and jumped to Oklahoma -3 and then -4, 4.5, 5.5 and 6 and it will keep climbing until kickoff. The reason for this is that a number of Florida receivers will not be playing. If it's true that can be a big blow to the Gators, but that's how stars are born. So, we will have Florida and wait as long as, we can before making a play. Take FLORIDA! |
|||||||
12-29-20 | Colorado v. Texas -7 | Top | 23-55 | Win | 100 | 25 h 47 m | Show |
Texas vs Colorado 9:00 ET Longhorns (-) over Buffaloes- No. 20 Texas closed their season with a rush winning four of their last five heading into their fourth straight bowl under Tom Herman and they are 3-0 the past three bowls. Under first year coach Karl Dorrell Colorado was the surprise of the Pac-12 opening the season with an impressive win over UCLA but finished on a down note losing at home to Utah.The price is high to me as Texas is just 1-3-1 ATS in last five as favorites although they are 7-1 ATS in their last eight non-conference games and 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. Buffs are only 3-8 ATS after a SU loss (before Dorrell) but also 5-2 ATS out of conference. Take TEXAS! |

12-28-20 | Bills v. Patriots +7.5 | Top | 38-9 | Loss | -124 | 24 h 5 m | Show |
New England at Buffalo 8:15 ET Patriots (+) over Bills- It has just got to be! With Buffalo (11-3) having already clinched the AFC East could be looking past the Patriots toward the playoffs but having won the Division for the first time in 21 years (1999) they may want to made a statement to New England who has dominated the AFC East since Belichick's arrival. Getting Cam Newton to replace Tom Brady was a one-year experiment that just didn't work as he has eight games without a touchdown pass and New England has to rebuild from the bottom up. I'm really impressed with Josh Allen this season and his top receiver Stephon Diggs but, I can see the Bills taking their foot off the gas while the Pats play for pride. Take NEW ENGLAND |

12-27-20 | Broncos +3 v. Chargers | 16-19 | Push | 0 | 16 h 59 m | Show | |
Chip's AFC High Roller Winner Denver at L.A. Chargers 4:05 ET Broncos (+) over Chargers- I'm a little surprised that this line is as low as it is even tho these two clubs have the same record 5-9. My concept of these two is that Justin Herbert is better than Drew Lock and the Chargers should be a stronger favorite. But, remember, no matter what you think for the most part that guy, the entity that sets the line knows more than 'we' do and they always will. LA opened under a field goal will probably lose by that amount today. Denver has been consistent not having two bad outing in a row as they are 8-1 ATS after a loss and are 7-2 ATS in their last nine meetings in Los Angeles and the road team is 13-6-2 ATS in the last 21 meetings. Take DENVER! |

12-27-20 | Panthers +1 v. Washington Football Team | Top | 20-13 | Win | 100 | 16 h 18 m | Show |
Carolina at Washington 4:05 ET Panthers (+) over 'Those Guys'- Carolina is one of those team that have played much better than their record shows as they fought through injuries to key personnel. The Panthers have been especially under-rated on the road as they are 2-5 SU but get this 6-1 ATS. So, here we have division leader Washington who must win to stay in playoff contention only a 1-point favorite at home. It just looks the 'books' know Haskins can't cut it. Cats are 8-1 in last nine as road underdogs while the Football Team is 1-4 ATS as favorites and 6-13 ATS after a SU loss. Take CAROLINA! |

12-27-20 | Giants +10 v. Ravens | 13-27 | Loss | -113 | 13 h 2 m | Show | |
Chip's NFL Power Play Winner New York Giants at Baltimore 1:00 ET Giants (+) over Ravens- With their mid-season lull behind them the Ravens have won three straight making a charge for the playoffs which is out of their control right now as Miami held the tie-breakers going into this weekend. New York is one-game behind Washington but own all tie-breakers and QB Daniel Jones returns after sitting out 2-of-3 weeks. The Giants play to ugh when you would least expect it as they are 7-2 ATS in their last nine as underdogs and 20-6 ATS in their last 26 as road dogs. Baltimore has some glowing trends but I'm not going to give them because I want no doubts about playing the Giants here. Take NEW YORK! |

12-27-20 | Bears v. Jaguars +8.5 | 41-17 | Loss | -107 | 13 h 59 m | Show | |
Chicago at Jacksonville 1:00 ET Jaguars (+) over Bears- Wouldn't it something if the Jaguars win this game on the field and lose out on the Trevor Lawrence sweepstakes. It could happen because the Bears are such frauds as their defense is mediocre and their offense even after a good month still isn't in the top half of the league. Chicago is still 'live' for the playoffs recovering from a six-game losing streak and have won their last two while Jacksonville looks to break a 13-game losing streak and will give veteran Mike Glennon some playing time and it might help. Take the JAGUARS! |

12-27-20 | Browns v. Jets +7 | 16-23 | Win | 100 | 13 h 58 m | Show | |
Cleveland at New York Jets 1:00 ET Jets (+) over Browns- Cleveland currently has a pair of distinctions that are NFL streaks of longevity and futility as they have been shut out of the playoffs longer than any other club and they are along with the Lions the only original merger teams that have not made it to a Super Bowl. The Browns haven't been in the playoffs since 2002 and are 10-4 but still need to win and have either Miami, Baltimore or Indianapolis lose. Covid has hit the Browns and four of their receivers will be missing but with a taste of victory being so sweet for the jets last week they want to do it again. Take NEW YORK JETS! |

12-26-20 | Dolphins v. Raiders +2.5 | 26-25 | Win | 100 | 6 h 43 m | Show | |
Miami at Las Vegas 8:00 ET Raiders (+) over Dolphins- Las Vegas has been horrid that past six weeks with their only win coming against the Jets with a Hail Mary pass on the final play of the game. Miami knows that they have to win out in the AFC top have a shot at the playoffs and consider this encounter a 'play-in game.' The Raiders lost QB Derek Carr early last week with a calf strain and his status is questionable. Marcus Mariota filled in and looked the best he has in three years and says it's all about him being healthy. In a surprise take LAS VEGAS! |

San Francisco at Arizona 4:30 ET '49ers (+) over Cardinals- San Francisco has had some kind of year and I mean in the NFL not what's going on in their streets but the results have been similar a total disaster. They were five minutes away from winning the Super Bowl and now they will try and be a spoiler against Arizona who can clinch a Wild Card spot with a win here. With backup QB Mullins going down last week the Niners signed Josh Rosen but C.J. Beathard will start and they are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as underdogs. How much of a road game this is can be questioned as San Francisco play their home game here now. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

Western Kentucky and Georgia State 3:30 ET Hilltoppers (+) mover Panthers- It's Conference USA rep Western Kentucky (5-6) against the Sun Belt's Georgia State who is making their fourth bowl appearance since entering the conference 11 years ago. The Hilltoppers dropped four of their first five against bowl teams losing the UAB, liberty Louisville and Marshall while Georgia State's schedule was not as rigorous. WKU is 39-19 ATS in their last 58 as underdogs while the Panthers are 3-8 ATS L-11 against teams with losing records. Take WESTERN KENTUCKY! |

12-25-20 | Vikings +7 v. Saints | 33-52 | Loss | -115 | 22 h 43 m | Show | |
Chip's NFC 'Stand-Alone' Winner Minnesota at New Orleans- Two weeks ago the Saints were the No. 1 seed in the NFC but have now dropped their last two games for the first time in three seasons and trail Green Bay for the overall top seed but can clinch the Division with a single victory. Last week Drew Brees returned to the lineup for New Orleans and despite everything that you have have heard he didn't pass 'my' eye test as his passes didn't have the same 'zip' or velocity and his accuracy wasn't all that good either. Minnesota (6-8) has been a hard team to figure this season and this week they have nine defensive players on injury report. Vikings have a small chance for the playoffs if they win out and Arizona loses their final two. Minny is 38-14 ATS after a straight-up loss and 4-1 ATS in last five road games while NO is 4-1 ATS in last five as favorites and are 9-2 ATS against teams with losing records. Take MINNESOTA! |

Marshall vs. Buffalo 2:30 ET Thundering Herd (+) over Bulls- Both these non-Big 5 clubs started the season with prolonged winning streaks as Marshall was 7-0 before getting pasted 20-0 by Rice (they also lost to UAB 22-13 in their next game) while Buffalo was 5-0 entering their MAC Championship game where they were bested by Ball State 38-28 last Friday. The Bulls have the flash with Jaret Patterson who ran for 301 and 409-yard in back-to-back games but was removed in the final quarter as he injured his right knee. The Thundering Herd are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 as underdogs and 7-1 ATS in their last eight bowl games while Buffalo is 1-7 ATS at neutral sites. Take MARSHALL! |

Hawaii vs Houston 3:30 ET Cougars (-) over Rainbow Warriors- How 'bout diss, the New Mexico Bowl is being played in Frisco, Texas somewhere in that huge state near Dallas. Houston (3-4) has dropped their three after having eight games postponed or cancelled is 19-7 against Mountain West teams and they want to finish the season at .500. Hawaii who is used to playing and hosting their own bowl game will be playing a bowl game on the mainland for just the third time. The Rainbows defeated the Cougars 54-48 in 3OT's in the 2003 Hawaii Bowl and the cats have been waiting for revenge ever since (Ya think?)! Aside the Islanders are 17-41 ATS against teams with losing records and 19-46 ATS after an ATS loss. Houston who plays on field turf is 20-8 on natural grass. Take HOUSTON! |

Central Florida vs. B.Y.U. 7:00 ET Knights (+) over Cougars- The most commendable thing that took place during this weirdest of all college football when undefeated BYU accepted a opportunity to travel to play undefeated Coastal Carolina with just 48 hours notice after COVID cancellations. So, the Cougars on a bye week with no plans to play took on the challenge and were handed the defeat that squashed their hopes. BYU's QB Zach Wilson brings the No. 8 offense into south Florida and he's looking forward to playing in warm weather. But, he will be up against Gabriel Dillon who leads the No. 2 overall offense with 586 yards a game including 373 yards passing. Cougars have a much stronger defense No. 9 allowing joust 309 YPG while the Knights surrender 474ypg and 31.4 ppg while BYU allows just 14.6ppg. But, this is a bowl game in the South. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA! |

Tulane vs Nevada 3:30 ET Wolf Pack (+) over Green Wave- After starting 5-0 Nevada stumbled to the finish line losing two of their last three including a loss to San Jose State in the MWC Championship game. Tulane came from 2-4 to win 4-of-5 and finish 6-5 but just 3-5 in the AAC. Their will be no fans in attendance but the reception in Idaho will be cold enough for the Louisiana based Green Wave. Nevada is 0-3 in this 'Spud' Bowl having lost last season to Ohio and before that to Miami and Maryland. This time behind Carson Strong the MWC Player of the Year the Wolf Pack get the gravy in the Potato Bowl. Take NEVADA! |

New York had their 4-game win streak stop by Arizona last week and they were never in it while Cleveland had their own 4-game win streak stopped by the Ravens on Monday night. The Browns (9-4) are much improved but are still 4-9-1 ATS after a SU loss while the Giants are 6-0 ATS after an ATS loss and 7-1 ATS in their last eight as underdogs and 4-1 ATS in the last four meetings.

Kansas City (12-1) has clinched their fifth straight AFC West title and New Orleans needs a win to clinch their fourth straight NFC South title so there should be a greater need for for the Saints. KC 0-5 ATS in their last five overall while the Saints are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as a home underdog and 21-6 ATS in their last 27 games as an underdog. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Indianapolis have been and looks dominate and the Texans look like they have already quit on the season but...they have not. These two met two weeks ago as Deshaun Watson fumbled from the one yard line in the final minute as the road team is now 10-2-2 ATS in the last 14 meetings. Take HOUSTON! |

Chip's NFC Power Play Winner Tampa Bay at Atlanta 1:00 ET Falcons (+) over Buccaneers- Tampa Bay (8-5) is sitting in the 6th spot as a playoff wildcard after having played their last three at home and are taking to the road for the first time in five weeks. Atlanta is 4-4 under interim coach Raheem Morris although his game decisions under pressure have been questioned especially after the way the Falcons' blew the game to the Chargers last week. The Buccaneers are just 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a straight-up win while the 'Dirty-Birds' are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 as home underdogs.Take ATLANTA! |

Chip's AFC Vegas Hotline Winner New England at Miami 1:00 ET Patriots (+) over Dolphins- Here we go again, or at least we should hear it because it happens time and again and I am talking about what Bill Belicheck does to rookie quarterbacks as witnessed by Justin Herbert three weeks ago in the Patriots 45-0 win over the Chargers. Poor Tua will try and overcome what he knows is coming but until you see it you will be exploited by the master. Take NEW ENGLAND! |

Carolina at Green Bay 8:15 ET Panthers (+) over Packers- Green Bay coach Matt LaFleur says that having clinched the NFC North title that 'Nothing changes in our mind'...I wonder, isn't it just human nature to take at least a sigh of relief? Carolina under first year head coach Matt Rhule is just 4-9 SU but a respectable 7-6 ATS as they have been very competitive even without their All-pro versatile running back and receiver Christian McCaffrey who has missed all but three games. The Panthers are 2-4 SU on the road but 5-1 ATS and 7-1 ATS in their last eight as underdogs. Although, the Packers are 6-2 ATS in their last eight as home favorites they are 1-5 ATS after a straight-up win. Already clinched...take CAROLINA! |

12-19-20 | Alabama v. Florida +17.5 | Top | 52-46 | Win | 100 | 19 h 26 m | Show |
Alabama vs Florida 8:00 ET Gators (+) over Crimson Tide- Alabama opened the season by allowing 24, 48, and 24 points and it was said that they had defensive weaknesses. Well, in their last six games they have allowed 17, 0, 3, 13, 17and 3 a grand total of 53 points averaging allowing 9.1 points and now they are up against a powerhouse offense. Florida who has 609 yards in offense last week in their 37-34 loss to LSU leads the nation in passing yards with 386 and the Tide are ranked No. 5 overall with 538 yards per game. The Crimson Tide are 7-0 ATS in their last seven and are 5-1 TAS in the last six meetings while Gators are 5-1 ATS in last six games as underdogs. Ebb tide as Gators chomp! Take FLORIDA! |

12-19-20 | Clemson -10 v. Notre Dame | 34-10 | Win | 100 | 15 h 25 m | Show | |
Clemson vs Notre Dame 4:00 ET Tigers (-) over Fighting Irish- All season long I've been saying that Notre Dame has finally reached that upper tier of teams like Alabama, Ohio State and yes even Clemson and they proved that they can play with anybody by defeating the Tigers 47-40. I believed that the public would gravitate to Clemson in the rematch because Trevor Lawrence would be back but the oddsmaker must have thought so as well making them double-digit favorites. So, my original thought that Notre Dame would sweet the series has been dashed as the public is backing the Irish. It wasn't the fact that Clemson was without Lawrence as his substitute passed for 439 yards in was a defense that allowed 208 yards rushing. Three defensive starters were out for the Tigers in that one and they are back and that might make the difference. It just seems too easy to take ND so I won't...take CLEMSON! |

12-19-20 | Air Force -138 v. Army | 7-10 | Loss | -138 | 14 h 18 m | Show | |
Air Force at Army 3:00 ET Falcons (-) over Cadets- There is no doubt that Army plays a ground game averaging 280 yards a game rushing but the Falcons distain the air as they are second in the nation with 336 yards on the ground per game. The Cadets are used to ending the season with the Navy game but this has been added and it's bad news for the Army. To understand what I'm getting at I'll explain how no Cadet is allowed to eat any meal at West Point without chanting, “Beat Navy”, breakfast, lunch or dinner, everyday before EVERY meal...they beat Navy last week and fall here. Take AIR FORCE! |

Oregon at U.S.C 8:00 ET Ducks (+3) over Trojans- Before the season started this was the match-up the experts all predicted would happen in the Pac-12 Championship Game but, it didn't happen the way that was expected. USC was unimpressive early struggling as double-digits favorites lucky just to beat ASU and a terrible Arizona team and last week they put together a miracle finish to beat and 'cover' against UCLA after trailing by 18-points late in the 3rd quarter. The Trojans were expecting to play Washington but 'you know what happened' as they aren't able to field a team. Oregon was 3-0 before dropping their last two on the road at Oregon State and California. These Ducks flew south for this game and they will crap on the Trojans! Take OREGON! |

12-18-20 | Nebraska -6.5 v. Rutgers | 28-21 | Win | 100 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
Nebraska at Rutgers 7:00 ET Cornhuskers (-) over Scarlet Knights- This is the final game for both clubs in 2020 and neither team no matter who wins will still fall short of a .500 season. If you compare these two's stats they are a wash without any advantage except that Rutgers offense has scored five more points a game while allowing two more. The fact that Nebraska is favored shows the bookmaker doesn't have much faith in the Knights especially after an outright win. Cornhuskers are 4-0 lifetime against Rutgers and get one of the thumb...take NEBRASKA! |

12-18-20 | UAB +4.5 v. Marshall | 22-13 | Win | 100 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
U.A.B. at Marshall 7:00 ET Blazers (+) over Thundering Herd- Marshall had their undefeated season come to an end last time out bas Rice not only won but shutout the Herd 20-0 but, that wasn't the crazy part which is that they were a 24-point beaten favorite. This is the third straight trip tp the USA Championship game for the Blazers defeating Mid Tenn 27-25 two years ago and they were swamped by Florida Atlantic 49-6 last season. The home team is 11-3 SU and 10-4 ATS in the last 14 CUSA Championship games so I am surprised the line is as low as it is. Think about it Marshall's defense is No.1 in points allowed (11.4) and No. 2 in total yards (254) and rushing yards (73). It doesn't make sense for the line to be as low considering UAB runs for an average of 198 ypg. Take the BLAZERS! |

L.A. Chargers at Las Vegas 8:20 ET Chargers (+) over Raiders- Oh-boy, this is a tough call for a number of reasons not the least of which is that my 3-2 Fab-5 Sunday included the Raiders who were stampeded by the Colts. So, after taking them and getting trampled last week...well you know the scenario, but the oddsmaker has lost some respect for Las Vegas as this line is just so low and inviting. The Chargers won despite bonehead coach Anthony Lynn once again blowing scoring opportunities my mismanaging the clock. That makes FIVE times this season! Do you think the Raiders defense can confuse Herbert they way Belichick's defensive plan did? How could it Gruden just fired his DC after Sunday's loss. The Raiders are in such need for a win but the 'powers that be' may not care. Take the CHARGERS! |

12-14-20 | Ravens v. Browns +3 | 47-42 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
Baltimore at Cleveland 8:15 ET Browns over Ravens- The Browns who haven't been to the playoffs in 17 years had such fanfare and expectations entering their season opener at Baltimore only to receive a reality check as the veteran playoff Ravens destroyed them 38-6. A convincing win as it was Lamar Jackson who passed for 275 yards and three TD's while the Browns offense scored just once. But after a 5-1 start the 'Black Birds' have lost four of five while Cleveland has won 8-of-10 as Baker Mayfield has held it all together. Browns with best 1-2 punch in the NFL with their running duo of Chubb and Hunt. Take CLEVELAND! |

12-13-20 | Steelers +2.5 v. Bills | 15-26 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 53 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh at Buffalo 8:20 ET Steelers (+) over Bills- I know how impressive the Bills looked the Monday night dominating San Francisco and how lackluster Pittsburgh looked in losing their first game to Washington after getting out to a 14-0 lead before starting to take things during the game for granted and blowing numerous opportunities. Part of the problem for the Steelers was the lack of a running game as they ran for just 21 yards last week and just 68 the week before against the Ravens. James Conner who missed the last two games will return and help make the difference and Big Ben's pride will outshine Josh Allen. Take PITTSBURGH! |

12-13-20 | Saints v. Eagles +8 | 21-24 | Win | 100 | 17 h 3 m | Show | |
New Orleans at Philadelphia 4:25 ET Eagles (+) over Saints- This is the most improbable 'side' on the entire board as the Saints have won nine straight and the grounded Eagles are changing quarterbacks. Philadelphia will have Jalen Hurts under center for the first time in his career while Tayson Hill gets his fourth start while Brees' banged up ribs heal. The Eagles are the club of the two that is known for their defense but it is New Orleans that has the No. 2 defense allowing just 288 ypg which plays into the 'Birds' No. 29 offense with 319 ypg. The 'Wild Card' here is Hurts who is not known for his passing (5-12, 109y last week) but will present a different look and hey Carson Wentz had 15 Ints and 3 fumbles and the kicker is that the Saints have already clinched a playoff berth and the have a look-ahead game with Kansas City next week, Take PHILADELPHIA! |

12-13-20 | Colts v. Raiders +3 | 44-27 | Loss | -108 | 17 h 38 m | Show | |
Indianapolis at Las Vegas 4:05 ET Raiders (+) over Colts- In the scheme of things this is a playoff game for Las Vegas. A loss here would make it virtually impossible for them to qualify for the postseason. As it is the Raiders are fortunate to still be alive as their 'hail-Mary' win over the Jets last week may have saved their season if the win here. Vegas has had the issues with injuries and the virus but this week it have five Colts that have missed practice including Philip Rivers. Jon Gruden has brought the Raiders along and will create win havoc on defense to take advantage of 'Philips Floaters' and get at least a pair of picks. Take LAS VEGAS! |

12-13-20 | Cardinals -2.5 v. Giants | 26-7 | Win | 100 | 14 h 37 m | Show | |
Arizona at New York Giants 1:00 ET Cardinals over Giants- This is one of those 'Go figure' games. Here we have the New York Football Giants winners of four straight games and probably the hottest team in the NFL (oops Saints have won 9) up against a fading team's who's only win in their last five games came a 'Hail-Mary pass' on the final play against Buffalo when they didn't even attempt the extra-point they have failed to 'cover' the spread. And Arizona is favored at New York! Daniel Jones' Locker returns Sunday and he should give the Giants' 32nd rated offense some sort of lift. He will help, but the Cardinals average 390 ppg and are 9-4-2 ATS on the road scoring 28 ppg while 'Little Blue' is 30th with 19 ppg and are 3-12 ATS as home underdogs. Take ARIZONA! |

12-13-20 | Vikings +7.5 v. Bucs | 14-26 | Loss | -123 | 13 h 28 m | Show | |
Minnesota at Tampa Bay 1:00 ET Vikings (+) over Buccaneers- These two qualify for the final NFL playoff spots with Tampa Bay (7-5) holding on to the sixth spot and Minnesota (6-6) a game behind. The Bucs expected a big boost on offense with the addition of Brady and other weapons but they are still just middle of the pack at 18th with 363 ypg. It has been the Tampa defense that has held them together ranking No.1 against the run and No. 7 overall. The Vikings shine on offense with 390 ypg and just under 150 rushing yards and will match the Bucs rushing defense with Delvin Cook who has 1135 yards at 5.0 an attempt. These two match-up right and it should come down to a one possession game. Take MINNESOTA! |

Houston at Chicago 1:00 ET Bears (+) over Texans- The Houston is an embarrassment and own the entire state of Texas an apology! So, here are the 4-8 Texans -2.5 at Chicago favored against the 5-7 Bears who have dropped six straight. These teams are so bad and so evenly matched with Houston having the No. 30 defense allowing 406 ypg while the Bears offense is also ranked 30th with just 312 ypg. The Texans offense averages 364 ypg while Chicago allows 354 ypg. So, why even take a side when they both suck. Well, a wise man once said to me there's got to be a winner and I know it is NOT Houston! Take CHICAGO! |

On the other side Virginia Tech has now dropped five straight and have had off field issues including the virus to deal with. The Hokies have had the best of this series and are 11-5 ATS in the last 16 meetings and somehow come up the favorite here. The home team is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings...take VIRGINIA TECH! |

USC at UCLA 7:30 ET Bruins (+) over Trojans- If this game was at a different time or day it might be my best of the day. USC was a winner for us last Sunday as the bolted out to a 28-0 1st quarter lead over Washington State and just stopped playing putting it on cruise control the rest of the way. The Trojans are once again the media darlings of the Pac-12 and are always overrated and on the other side of the coin the Bruins feel slighted. USC has had COVID issues and with this game at the empty Rose Bowl UCLA will let their offense do it's thing averaging 36 points and 431 yyg. Take U.C.L.A.! |

Wisconsin at Iowa 3:30 ET Badgers (+) over Hawkeyes- Alright, I couldn't hold back any long waiting to 'pull-the-tiger' on this game as my yen for the Badgers just grows stronger by the day. Here's Iowa 5-2 winners of five straight after dropping their first two games to Purdue and Northwestern now an underdog at home to a team that has lost their last two games scoring a total of 13 points. Wisconsin has the nation's No. 1 ranked defense in total yards allowed (229), passing yards (157) and rushing yards (72) but 16 penalties and six turnovers have done them in. From what I can tell with the Badgers moving to the favorite says there is 'sharp' money on them. Take WISCONSIN! |

Chip Shot Winner Utah at Colorado 12:00 Noon ET Utes (+) over Buffaloes- I 'saw' Colorado beat Arizona last week and I also saw them defeat UCLA in their opener and I am impressed with what their first year coach Ken Dorrell has done. Colorado is an unexpected 4-0 and has moved to No. 21 in the AP and yet are a meager favorite against a 1-2 Utah team. The Utes are 0-3 ATS as they surrendered two TD's in the final minutes at reduce a 20-point lead down to a non-covering six (30-24). This 'price' is way too cheap when comparing season records. Something's just not right...Take UTAH! |

High Roller Minnesota at Nebraska 12:00 ET Cornhuskers (-) over Golden Gophers- Nebraska has been good to 'us' winning all three times 'we' had them including last week's 37-27 win at Purdue their second straight road cover. The Cornhuskers are a young them that is getting better and gaining momentum but this number having them favored by double-digits peaks my interest. They have been favored just one other time this season against Illinois (-17) and the4y failed miserably losing 41-23 outright. Minnesota is coming off a win of their own over Purdue 34-31 at home but that was three weeks ago as the virus has affected their schedule. The Golden Gophers won last year's meeting in Minneapolis 34-7 and now it's payback...take NEBRASKA! |

Heavy Hitter Michigan State at Penn State 12:00 Noon ET Nittany Lions (-) over Spartans- If things aren't confusing enough with teams looking to reschedule games or just bring in available opponents now when the have a match-up they change the venue and even starting times after scheduled announcements. So beware, this game is at Noon ET. That's not going to help Michigan State who may be 2-4 but are dreadful and while Penn State is 2-5 they have gained their sea-legs so to speak with wins over Michigan and Rutgers and believe it or not out-gained six of their seven opponents and are a Plus-90 ypg. The Spartans on the other hand are minus-85 ypg. The Penn State defense should shut down any offense MSU might try to muster as the Lions roar and atone for their m0-5 start. Take the NITTANY LIONS! |

Nevada is 6-1 with their only loss coming at Hawaii 24-21 while San Jose State is 5-0 SU and 4-0-1 ATS and have been unbelievable in MWC play going 16-5-2 ATS. Wolf Pack won last year's meeting 41-38 and are 5-0 ATS in their last five as underdogs. Take NEVADA! |

Arizona State at Arizona 7:00 ET Sun Devils (-) over Wildcats- The best thing about the outcome of this game is that at least one major college football team in the state has a victory. Arizona State (0-2) has played both LA schools losing to USC 28-27 (Trojans scored twice in last minute after on-side kick) and to UCLA 25-18 at home last week. Last week Arizona jumped out to a 13-0 lead against Colorado and with six minutes to go in the second quarter the game was over for the Wildcats as the Buffaloes went 24-0 the rest of the way and were never threatened. This 'price' is way out of whack for a 'rivalry game' considering the Sun Devils haven't won a game yet...until tonight. Take ARIZONA STATE! |

Pittsburgh at Georgia Tech 7:00 ET Yellow Jackets (+) over Panthers- Pitt has had the best of this series of late as they have won four of the last five including last year's 20-10 win in Atlanta but are off a drubbing by No. 4 Clemson two weeks ago 52-17 and they are 4-0 ATS after a bye week. Georgia Tech meanwhile, was beaten by NC State 23-13 and fell to 3-6 on the season. Yellow Jackets are 5-2 ATS after a loss and the underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Final chance for the Panthers to finish win a winning record and they only have to do it by less than a touchdown. Take GEORGIA TECH! |

Dallas at Baltimore 8:00 ET Cowboys (+) over Ravens- The Ravens who have had to deal with the virus have dropped three straight and 4-of-5 while Dallas has lost 5-of-6 and 7-of-9. This game on paper does not set up well for the Cowboys who are dead last in NFL rushing defense while the Ravens are No. 2 in rushing averaging 158 YPG as well as last in points allowed with 32.6. Part of Big 'D's problem is that are also last in take-aways in the season with a league low of just nine also allowing 24 TD passes with just 4 Int's. Having played last on Thanksgiving (if you can call that 'playing') and have had 12-days to prepare and they need it. Take DALLAS! |

Buffalo vs San Francisco (at Glendale, AZ) 49ers over Bills- As most are aware this game has been shifted to Arizona as COVID has forced the move from California. Buffalo has won four of five with the lone loss coming on this field against the Cardinals when a 'Hail-Mary' pass handed them their only defeat. The Bills who were the same 8-3 a year ago went 2-3 their final five games while many have to be reminded that the 49ers were in the Super Bowl last season. SF is getting healthy as players return and the Bills face the undefeated (as of now) Steelers next week. That SAN FRANCISCO! |

Patriots won over Arizona last week and we are still trying to figure out how...make be a Belichick thing. It's certainly not an Anthony Lynn 'thing' who has still needs to apologize for his trouble understanding clock management, time-outs and getting plays off on time after time-outs.

New Orleans at Atlanta 1:00 ET Falcons (+) over Saints- The way I see it Saints 'backers' are loving it when Brees sits! Last year it was Bridgewater going 6-0 ATS and even when Hill gets the start they seem to dominate, especially of late on defense. N.O. has surrendered just 3, 13, 9, and 3 points in their last four games and have the No. 1 defense at 285 ypg and No. 2 Rush 'D' at 76.6 ypg. Atlanta rises as home dogs going 11-4 ATS L-15 and with Raheem Morris at the helm they have won 3 of 4 and 4 of 6 overall. Take ATLANTA! |

Indianapolis at Houston 1:00 ET Texans (+) over Colts- How 'bout them inconsistent Colts...they just can seem to string together wins before they throw in an uninspired performance like refusing to step in front of Derek Henry last week as the Titans ran over Indianapolis for 229 yards. Indy is 7-0-1 ATS in the last eight meetings in Houston and 4-0 ATS L-4. While Philip Rivers' TD/Int ratio always an issue it's 16/9 and he still is venerable to the pick-6. Houston defense (if you can call it that) is Ranked No. 30 allowing 410 yards a game and No. 31 in rushing 'D' (154 ypg) and their rushing 'O' (84 ypg) is No.31. Still, the Texans since O'Brien was jettisoned have a winning attitude and record 4-3. The road team is 9-2-2 L-13 dog is 7-3-2 ATS in series. Take the TEXANS! |

Las Vegas at New York Jets 1:00 ET Jets (+) over Raiders- Sure, I have become a Raiders fan but that doesn't mean I will play against my pocketbook. Coach Gruden has this team believing that they can win and they can (they beat KC) but they are not ready yet. Injuries and the virus have hurt chemistry and they might be the only team the Jets can beat...nah! Can't see Vegas not showing up after last weeks performance (43-6) at Atlanta but being they best beware as the Jets become desperate to land a win. Take NY JETS! |

Cleveland at Tennessee 1:00 ET Browns (+) over Titans- Very sneaky...watch out for this one. I imagine most will see the Titans as very inviting side with their version of Jim Brown, Derek Henry running with authority over and through defensive backs. Both clubs are 8-3 but appear different in the public eye. This pair are 1 and 2 running the ball with the Browns at 161 rypg and the Titans 158 rypg with Cleveland's passing game lame at No.30 while Tannehill throws for just 227. Titans have turned the ball over just five times a league low but.. It's CLEVELAND! |

Oregon State at Utah 10:30 ET Utes (-) over Beavers- Here it is, an 0-2 team (Utah) is a double-digit favorite against a team that just defeated their arch rivals in the closing seconds. Oregon State just defeated Oregon for just the second time in 13 years 41-38 scoring with :33 left and have been celebrating every since. Utah meanwhile was blowing a 21-0 lead over Washington after having dropped their opener to USC 33-17. South Carolina graduate transfer Jake Bentley leads the Utes offense and they should be in command against this No. 94th ranked defense allowing 443 ypg. Beavers should get trapped but the Utes here...Take UTAH! |

Oregon at California 7:00 ET Golden Bears (+) over Beavers- Both clubs off losses to rivals and yet it probably hurts Oregon more than it does California. True that the Golden Bears (0-3) have yet to win but the Ducks loss surely knocks them and the Pac-12 out of any shot for the FBS. Ducks have won the last three and 10 of the last 11 meetings with the bears lone win at home in 2016. Hey, Herbert is gone and the Ducks spend more time on the ground where Bears have a chance to growl. Cal out-gained Stanford by a 150 yards on the ground while Oregon's putrid defense gives up 457 YPG, 30-points per and have only two forced turnovers while surrendering five. Take CALIFORNIA! |

Indiana at Wisconsin 3:30 ET Badgers (-) over Hoosiers- They have had their run but the engine main cog has a bad wheel and the Hoosiers feel good season will close on a sad note starting here. Indiana lost their QB Michael Penix Jr. for the year and was the glue on offense. But it's the Hoosiers defense leads the nation in take-a-ways with 18 including 16 int's. Wisconsin is looking to rebound after their loss to Northwestern two weeks ago after a bye last week due to COVID, whenever they get to play they are going to punish their opponent and Indiana is the perfect sacrificial lamb. With the No. 1 defense allowing just 233 ypg they Badgers will dominate the Hoosiers w/o their QB will have difficulty moving the ball. Take BADGERS! |

Nebraska at Purdue 12:00 Noon ET Cornhuskers (+) over Boilermakers- Despite their 1-4 record the Cornhuskers have been good to 'us' as we have collected on both their ATS wins and we will again here. Purdue opened the season with a upset win over Iowa although the Hawkeyes out-gained the Boilermakers by a 100 yards and they have been out-gained by every opponent every at Minnesota where they lost anyway. The underdog is 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take NEBRASKA! |

Oklahoma State at T.C.U. 12:00 Noon ET Horned Frogs (+) over Cowboys- Okay State is off a 50-44 OT win over Texas Tech where substitute Dezmond Jackson ran for 235 yards replacing All-American Chuba Hubbard who was out. The funny thing about is was they the Cowboys were out-gained by the Red Raiders by 100 yards and are now 0-4 ATS in their last four. TCU has turned things around after a slow start having won 3-of-4 and have a few trends working in their favor. The home team is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings and the underdogs is 5-0 ATS. But, they are also just 9-24 ATS in their last 33 home games overall. Take HORNED FROGS! |

Penn State at Rutgers 12:00 Noon ET Nittany Lions (-) over Scarlet Knights- Wow, what a difference a coach can make. When Greg Schiano left the Scarlet Knights after a 10-year run going 68-67 winning bowl games in five of six seasons. Rutgers is was 7-45 in Big Ten play since 2014 and had lost 21 straight conference games entering the season. Under Schiano they have two and blew double-digit leads in two others. Starting with school worst 0-5 Penn State posted their first win last week at Michigan 27-17 their season high in points since their OT opener at Indiana. Despite their record the Lions are in a much higher class. Take PENN STATE! |

11-30-20 | Seahawks v. Eagles +6.5 | Top | 23-17 | Win | 100 | 24 h 53 m | Show |
Seattle at Philadelphia 8:15 ET Eagles (+) over Seahawks- These two met at Philadelphia in the playoffs and Seattle posted a 17-9 victory their second of the season over Philly and by the same score 17-9. The Eagles had struggled most of the year and then closed with a flurry before the loss to end their season. In 2020 it has been even worse for them as Carson Wentz has been under duress the entire season having been sacked 40 times with 18 turnovers and a 73.3 passer rating. It's the same old story for the Seahawks plenty of offense with 400 yards per game, but their defense hasn't improved and is dead last allowing 435 yard per game. The head-to-head games are all Seattle as they are 6-0 ATS in the past six meetings including 5-0 ATS in Philadelphia. Both clubs are in second place with only the Eagles assured to move into first with a victory. Take the EAGLES! |

11-29-20 | Chiefs v. Bucs +3.5 | Top | 27-24 | Win | 100 | 20 h 49 m | Show |
Kansas City at Tampa Bay 4:25 ET Buccaneers (+) over Chiefs- Oh man is this it? Is this where we actually see the 'changing of the guard' as Patrick Mahomes brings his 9-1 Chiefs into Tampa Bay where quarterback Tom Brady is starting to show some wear and tear and Kansas City has the NFL's No. 2 offense averaging 414 yards per game while the Buc's defense has been consistent the past few seasons and is No. 6 over and No. 1 against the run for the second straight season. The Chiefs may not even be concerned withy that as they are the leagues No. 1 passing teams at 300 yards per games and Mahomes has 27 TD passes with just a pair of interceptions. Tampa Bay meanwhile has had two clunkers in their last three games as Brady's efficiency has dropped Matt Patricia sleepless. Kansas City garnered a bit revenge last week at las Vegas against the Raiders who had inflicted the their only loss in early October and they have won their last five since. There are a few things that have me backing Tampa here. To start with Tom Brady is a prideful man and I have to believe he will atone for his indiscretions in recent losses and the Buccaneers need to make a statement here otherwise they fall to 7-5 and into also-ran territory. Take TAMPA BAY! |

11-29-20 | Raiders v. Falcons +3 | 6-43 | Win | 103 | 16 h 20 m | Show | |
Las Vegas at Atlanta 1:00 ET Falcons (+) over Raiders- Although the Raiders lost to Kansas City Sunday they gained a number of admirers because let's face it John Gruden has them playing good football. Gone (for the most part) are the silly penalties and they are protecting the ball better now than anytime since his 10-year tenure started. What's to say about Atlanta...they are 3-7 and coming off a beatdown by New Orleans where they failed to score a touchdown and were dominated after taking a 9-3 lead late in the second period. QB Matt Ryan who has thrown for 2,978 yards this season but was sacked eight times and took 11 hits against the Saints. The issue here is if Gruden can get his guys 'up' on the road after an emotional last minute loss to the Chiefs I can see the Raiders being flat but they do have the better coaching. I was looking for a trend to throw at you and there's ones on Vegas were really good, but I found this about the Falcons, they are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 as an underdog. That's it! Take ATLANTA! |

11-29-20 | Cardinals v. Patriots +2 | 17-20 | Win | 100 | 16 h 13 m | Show | |
Arizona at New England 1:00 ET Patriots (+) over Cardinals- Oh boy, do I believe we have a winner here...it just figures. New England goes to Houston as a small favorite and lose outright (they never should have been favored anyway) and now they return home and are made the same size underdog to Arizona. Oh yeah big and bad Arizona that is the 'public's darlings' and with good cause because Kyler Murray my end being the best of his kind ) a run first QB, ala Cam Newton, Jackson, Watson none of whom throw the ball as well as Murray. But, this is his first trip to Boston and first time up against Bill Belichick and they both mean something. What I can't be sure. I LOVE the home team here. Take NEW ENGLAND! |

11-29-20 | Giants v. Bengals +6.5 | 19-17 | Win | 100 | 16 h 8 m | Show | |
N.Y. Giants at Cincinnati 1:00 ET Bengals (+) over Giants- Of course the storyline here first is the injury to Joe Burrow and the rookie sensation is done for 9-12 months. Okay, that's fine but the Bengals still are just 2-7-1 under his leadership, so here steps Brandon Allen to run the show and although he's now an accomplished starter he has had some experience and played for Bengals coach Zac Taylor with the Rams in 2017 and 2018. New York believe it or now can move into first place with a win here and the are are perfect 5-0 ATS on the road this season. But, now they are the favorites and although they probably have played the best football in their division they have not been favorites on the road. Cats have dropped last two and should rally the troops for this one. Take CINCINNATI! |

11-29-20 | Titans v. Colts -3 | 45-26 | Loss | -109 | 16 h 58 m | Show | |
Tennessee at Indianapolis 1:00 ET Colts (+) over Titans- When you look at these two teams they compare like a mirror on offense but when it comes to the other side of the ball the Titans are lacking, Indianapolis who pounded Tennessee on a Thursday night three weeks ago in their own backyard will now the Colts will have all those cardboard cutouts giving them the silent treatment. Indy has the No. 2 rated defense allowing 298 yards per game while the Titans defense surrenders 389 yards per. Colts are 6-2 ATS as home favorites and even better they are 14-5 ATS against teams with winning records meaning they come to play against the better competition. Take INDIANAPOLIS! |

Nevada at Hawaii 11:00 ET Rainbow Warriors (+) over Wolf Pack- Nevada stands at 5-0 after their win over San Diego State where they gave up 252 yards in the first half and shut down the Aztecs in the 2nd half allowing them to just 41 yards and holding State to a season low in offense. Hawaii at 2-3 has the talent to qualify for a bowl bid and are coming off a pair of losses to San Diego State and Boise State who had to scramble to get bye the Warriors. Hawaii coach Todd Graham loves to ambush visitors from the mainland as he has his Rainbows 22-4 ATS against teams off a SU and ATS win as well as 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings on the island. Take HAWAII! |

11-28-20 | Auburn v. Alabama -23.5 | 13-42 | Win | 100 | 13 h 21 m | Show | |
Auburn at Alabama 3:30 ET Crimson Tide (-) over Tigers- Imagine laying 24-points in an Auburn-Alabama rivalry game and doing it with confidence. Every year we see the same Alabama team with minor differences but they have the speed, the size and the talent with a quarterback destined to be a first-round pick. On the other side this season Auburn has not passed the eye test and they are nothing like the teams of past seasons. Between you and me because I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings but this Bo Nix for the Tigers is a poor man's Tim Tebow with even less throwing accuracy and not much else. I am the guy that us usually looking for an opportunity to play against the Tide and get the points...not today. Take ALABAMA! |

11-28-20 | Northwestern v. Michigan State +13.5 | 20-29 | Win | 100 | 18 h 45 m | Show | |
Northwestern at Michigan State 3:30 ET Spartans (+) over Wildcats- After defeating Wisconsin 17-7 last week Northwestern is now 5-0 SU and ATS and face one of the Big Ten's bottom dwellers as Michigan State is just 1-3 and have been badly out-played in three of their four games squeaking out a 27-24 victory as a 21-point underdog against rival Michigan. The Spartans opened the season losing to Rutgers who had lost 24 straight-Big Ten games beat the Wolverines and them were pummeled by both Iowa 49-7 and Indiana 24-0. They have had two weeks to get ready because their game against Maryland was cancelled last week while the Wildcats are off a huge win over the Badgers and oddly enough have been out-gained yardage wise by three of their five opponents. The underdog is 11-5 ATS in the last 16 meetings but sadly for the Spartans they are 0-8 ATS in the last eight meetings as hosts. But, I expect Northwestern to be a bit flat after defeating Wisconsin who out-gained the Cats by 103 yards. In a surprise with the points. take MICHIGAN STATE! |

11-28-20 | Penn State +1 v. Michigan | Top | 27-17 | Win | 100 | 14 h 15 m | Show |
Penn State at Michigan 12:00 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Wolverines- I 'jumped the gun' last week with Penn State as they dropped to 0-5 straight-up (0-5 ATS) breaking a 135 year school trend of posting a win before their fifth game. Things are a little better for Michigan at 2-3 but their 1-4 ATS record has their 'backers' calling for Harbaugh's head. The fact that he has yet to beat Ohio State and has losses to weakling instate rival Michigan State, had to go overtime to defeat Rutgers who has ONE Big Ten win in 27 games and they had their 33-year win streak (1987) against Indiana end. For Penn State the 'numbers' are brutal and they are 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings and they are 5-20-2 ATS after a straight-up loss. Still, the Nittany Lions believe it or not have out-gained their five opponents by an average of 75 yards per game. Despite the records of these two the Lions are a better team and will get their much needed win. Take PENN STATE! |

11-27-20 | Stanford +1 v. California | 24-23 | Win | 100 | 29 h 46 m | Show | |
Stanford at California 3:30 ET Cardinal (+) over Golden Bears- So here we are with 'The Game' between 0-2 Stanford and 0-2 California and with so much riding on this one I can't wait for basketball season but hey as a good friend once said 'there's got to be a winner.' Stanford coach David Shaw choose to take an extra week to heal the Cardinal defensive wounds and realizing the significance of playing Cal. The Golden Bears who have lost the last nine meetings were in position to defeat Oregon State last week and a blocked punt in the final moments doomed their efforts and Friday the Cardinal gives 'The Axe' to the Golden Bears. Take STANFORD! |

Notre Dame at North Carolina 3:30 ET Tar Heels (+) over Fighting Irish- I finally came over and I'm convinced that Notre Dame is one of the best teams in the country and that they have finally reached the 'upper tier' of college football powers and here I go 'playing' against them. Not, to worry Irish fans it looks like the odds-makers are giving you room to win and 'not cover, otherwise I believe the Tar Heels have a great shot of winning this game outright. Under Mack Brown, North Carolina is 6-2 going 4-0 SU and ATS at home, they are No. 4 in Total Offense averaging 563 YPG and are ranked No. 10 at 43.1 PPG. It's a perfect storm for the Tar Heels...take NORTH CAROLINA! |

11-27-20 | Nebraska +14 v. Iowa | 20-26 | Win | 100 | 25 h 19 m | Show | |
Nebraska at Iowa 1:00 ET Cornhuskers (+) over Hawkeyes- Having grown up watch Nebraska power football something they have done for a half century and it's difficult to digest how much they are being abused by bottom rung teams like Illinois who ran for 285 yards in last weeks' 41-23 home loss. The Cornhuskers defense ranks 98 allowing 450 yards a game while the home Hawkeyes are ranked 17 allowing just 320 ypg. Iowa has been more impressive than their 3-2 record would indicate as they started 0-2 but have out-gained all five opponents. Looking at the trends will make you sick if you are looking to back Nebraska and 'we' are so I won't even go there. I expect a HUGE effort from a college football team that will do whatever it can to not be humiliated like they were last week. Take the CORNHUSKERS! |

11-26-20 | Washington Football Team +3 v. Cowboys | 41-16 | Win | 100 | 26 h 2 m | Show | |
Washington at Dallas 4:30 ET DC Swampers (+) over Cowboys- There have been so many low points for the Cowboys this season and one of them was the first meeting in Washington when the DC Swampers dominated Dallas winning 25-3 while allowing the Pokes just 142 yards total offense. Despite their poor play, both these 3-7 clubs trail the Eagles by just a half-game for the NFC East division lead. Dallas has been able to move the ball for the most part but they haven't got it done on defense and have created just eight turnovers on the season. These two have an intense rivalry that has seen the underdogs win (ATS) 28 of the last 41 meetings and Washington is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 trips to Dallas where the 'Boys are just 22-46 ATS as favorites including last five 0-5 ATS. Take Washington! |

11-26-20 | Texans v. Lions +3 | Top | 41-25 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 60 m | Show |
Houston at Detroit 9:30 ET Lions (+) over Texans- Houston who until Sunday's victory of New England had two wins entering that contest but had only defeated Jacksonville (twice). The Texans have now won 2-of-3 after a 1-6 start but a defense built by Romeo Crennel is ranked 31 of 32 NFL teams allowing 412 yards a game. Detroit under Matt Patricia is heading south fast and I still have difficulty figuring out out they actually won four games this season. The Lions over-rated offense is ranked No. 27 and their defense is No. 25, numbers that are not very impressive. After getting shut out at Carolina last week where the Lions looked like they just stopped playing and gathered only 185 yards total offense while rushing for just 40 and allowing five sacks and making only 10 first downs. As bad as Detroit is, if they have any kind of professional pride they will come out smokin' on Thursday. Houston is just 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven road games and 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 as favorites while the Lions are even worse going 3-7 ATS Last-10 at home going 4-11 ATS in last 15 as underdogs and 6-15 ATS in their last 21 overall. All because they are poorly coached and they stink...but Texans have no character and the Lions eat well on Thanksgiving. Take DETROIT! |

L.A. Rams at Tampa Bay 8:15 ET Rams/Buccaneers UNDER- Both of these clubs are off impressive wins with the Rams defeating Seattle 23-16 and the Bucc's pounded Carolina 46-23 gaining 544 yards on offense. But, understand this, it will be the defense's that will make the difference in today's matchup. Tampa Bay has had the top rushing stop for the past two seasons and this season ranked No. 2 right now allowing just 76.6 yards rushing per game while Los Angeles in ranked No. 1 defensively overall allowing just 296 yards per game and No. 2 in totals points surrendered with 18.7. Rams are Under is their last six and 5-1 to the under at Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers are 9-4 Under in their last 13 at home against teams with winning records. Play the UNDER! |

Coach John Gruden says that they will 'be ready for the game on Sunday. Kansas City may have revenge on their minds as it was the Raiders that scarred their undefeated season a game where LV's defense played a strong second half. The storyline behind the Chiefs is Andy Reid's record after a bye week, he is 18-3 SU and KC is 12-5 ATS at Raiders last 17 meetings. But, Vegas well coached and 5-0 ATS vs the AFC West L-5. Take LAS VEGAS! |

Green Bay at Indianapolis 4:25 ET Colts (-) over Packers- Great ,match-up between veteran and future Hall of Fame quarterbacks as Aaron Rodgers brings his first place Packers into Indianapolis to face of with Phillip Rivers. Rivers just moved past Dan Marino for total passing yards and although he has never won a championship always falling to Manning or Brady he will be honored upon retirement. He may not be as strong as Rodgers but the Colts No. 1 total defense will be the difference. All quarterbacks as different under pressure and we saw Tampa Bay harass and shut down Aaron earlier this season. Colts are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 games against teams with winning records. Take INDIANAPOLIS! |

Miami at Denver 4:05 ET Broncos (+) over Dolphins- Miami certainly has their 'mojo' working double time as they just impose their defensive will on any and all opponents, just ask the Niners, Rams, Cardinals and Chargers all who out gained the Dolphins only to lose on the scoreboard. The Dolphins have turned to Tua Tagovailoa and they are 3-0 under his leadership as he maintains a controlled offense. Denver has turned to a young QB as well with Drew Lock who threw four Int's against the Raiders last week is nursing sore ribs and may be replaced by Brett Rypien has one win under his belt this season in a pair of start's. Regardless of who is under center for the Broncos they are a winner here today. Miami is 29thy in total offense with 319 yrg and the Mile High guys are 6-1 ATS after an ATS loss. Take DENVER! |

New England despite all their problems still conduct themselves and play like professionals while the 'troubles' surrounding this Houston team goes deeper than we will ever realize. The Patriots rose up for us last Sunday taking down the Ravens outright and now take to the road facing a team in total turmoil that is 2-7 with a pair of wins over Jacksonville who has just one victory themselves. In days gone by I would have no difficulty using the Texans as a best bet...but not on top today. Pats should stumble and the Texans should take advantage...'And thine shall be done.' Take HOUSTON! |

Oklahoma State at Oklahoma 7:30 ET Cowboys (+) over Sooners- For a rivalry game and a game between two evenly ranked teams this line seems a bit generous to me. No. 17 Oklahoma is a 7-point favorite against a team ranked higher at No. 14 in Oklahoma State. Not only a pair of Oklahoma's face-off but a pair of Spencer's quarterbacking for each side. But, it's not offenses that will determine this games winner it will be their defenses and State's is much superior. The Cowboys allow just 315 yards a game while the Sooners surrender 515 yards per game...a HUGE difference. Note that the road team is 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings and State is 12-4 ATS against teams with winning records and 18-6 ATS in their last 24 games as underdogs. Take OKLAHOMA STATE! |

Wisconsin at Northwestern 3:30 ET Wildcats (+) over Badgers- Oh man, if you like to gamble you will be taking one here playing against the red-hot and dominating Badgers. Granted Northwestern is 4-0 but not hardly as impressive as Wisconsin has been destroying teams like Michigan 49-11 and Illinois to open the season 45-7. Their No.1 ranked defense has been leading the way and freshman QB Graham Mertz has been great and errorless in his two game. The Wildcats will counter with graduate transfer Peyton Ramsey who had three TD passes against Purdue and the nCats defense isn't so bad itself ranked No. 10 at 302 yards surrendered per game. The Wildcats are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and get it done again here today. Take NORTHWESTERN! |

Cincinnati has been impressive all season and their defensive task this week is to slow down the Knights No. 1 ranked offense which averages 619 yards per game while Cincy's defense is ranked 9th allowing just 301 yards per outing. UCF is 1-5 ATS in their last six as they have been prohibited favorites and now their role is changed.

Not only are the Nittany Lions 0-4 SU they are also 0-4 ATS and the odd fact is that they out-gained all opponents except for Ohio State as penalties, missed field goals and turnovers a key moments have doomed their season. Penn State has won the last SIX meetings and are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games as underdogs and are 8-3 ATS after a straight-up loss.

Purdue (2-1) started with an upset win over Iowa and then beat Illinois before losing 27-20 to Northwestern last Saturday. Boilermakers had +2 yards rushing last week and have just 191 yards rushing total in three games this season. Being one-dimensional is rarely a successful formula on the field. Look for the Gophers to emerge from the hole that they have created and use their ground game to dig out a home victory. Take MINNESOTA!
