11-04-18 | Texans +3 v. Broncos | Top | 19-17 | Win | 100 | 141 h 25 m | Show |
NFL MEGA MOVE 100 Dime GOY TEXANS +3 Bill O’ Brien seems to be leaning heavily on the running game of late. Luckily, it has been working. Against Denver’s 27th ranked run defense, it is easy to see him trying to get the most out of Lamar Miller and Alfred Blue this week. Of course, Houston’s success on offense begins and ends with Watson. He’ll get his share of the workload; more than his share if the running game falters. Since they will likely be leaning more on the run, Houston is not going to run up the score. Case Keenum and his stable of receivers are good enough to put up some points on Houston and make sure this one stays close. Denver is favored by 2.5 points. But in the end, look for Houston to pull the outright win here. Take the Points. |

11-04-18 | Steelers +3 v. Ravens | Top | 23-16 | Win | 100 | 85 h 35 m | Show |
NFL 100 DIME SYNDICATE GAME STEELERS +3 Pittsburgh has won three of the past four meetings with Baltimore, with the lone loss during that stretch coming in Week 4 at home this season. The Steelers lost that game 26-14 as three-point favorites, with running back James Conner rushing for just 19 yards on nine carries. There has not been much news on the Le'Veon Bell front following the trade deadline, so it looks like the team will continue to ride Conner for the time being. Conner's strong play since that loss has been one of the main reasons for the turnaround, with him averaging 122.3 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns. |

11-04-18 | Falcons +2 v. Redskins | Top | 38-14 | Win | 100 | 84 h 28 m | Show |
NFL 100 DIME SYNDICATE GAME FALCONS +2 Both of these teams come into this game playing exceptionally well. The odds would be much better in Washington’s favor had it not been for the fact that Atlanta is coming off of their bye week. This has given them a next or week to prepare for the Redskins and should help the Falcons in this contest. Alex Smith has played well for the Redskins, but they are going to need a prime time offensive performance and the Redskins may not be up to that yet. Atlanta has a red-hot quarterback that will likely be the difference in this game. |

11-03-18 | California v. Washington State -10 | Top | 13-19 | Loss | -106 | 70 h 11 m | Show |
CFB 100 DIME GAME WASHINGTON ST -10 Right now, Minshew is arguably one of the top five quarterbacks in the country, and he will put too much pressure on Garbers and Cal’s offense to keep up with the Cougars. Washington State is a plus-69 in its four home games this season, and a double-digit deficit early may be too much for the Bears to overcome. This is a Syndicate Move! |

11-03-18 | Louisiana Tech +24 v. Mississippi State | Top | 3-45 | Loss | -106 | 66 h 26 m | Show |
CFB 100 DIME GAME LT +24 Louisiana Tech is on a three-game winning streak and won four of the last five games, with a defense that’s been quietly playing well to overcome an offense that’s sputtering a bit. The Conference USA Bulldogs are great at getting behind the line – Jaylon Ferguson is tearing up offenses with 10.5 sacks so far – but this game is about stopping the run. Louisiana Tech can be hit hard on the ground, giving up over 200 yards four times – including 218 yards and five scores in the 38-21 loss to LSU – and now it’s up to Nick Fitzgerald to go back to being Nick Fitzgerald, if he wants to. This is a Syndicate Play |

CFB 100 DIME GAME DUKE +9.5 Duke is 5-2 ATS when playing Conference teams. The key in this game is the coaching. Duke is a great team, and matches up. I like Duke to pull the road upset, but i will take the points here. This is a Syndicate Play |

11-03-18 | Missouri v. Florida -6 | Top | 38-17 | Loss | -106 | 64 h 30 m | Show |
CFB 100 DIME GAME FLORIDA -6 Feleipe Franks, if you and the Gator passing game ever wanted to open it up, this is the time to do it. Missouri made Terry Wilson look like Patrick Mahomes over the last several minutes of the collapse to Kentucky. The Tiger secondary has had a few issues, getting lit up for 200 yards or more in each of the last six games – failing to come through in the clutch against the Cats last week in the 15-14 loss. Florida would love nothing more than to ground-and-pound this game and make it about the time of possession and long drives, but Franks should be able to have some success. He doesn’t have to be brilliant. All he has to do is hit his third down throws, not force anything, and connect on 60% or so of his passes. His defense should take care of the rest. This is a Syndicate Move. Florida by 13 points or more. |

11-02-18 | Colorado v. Arizona -3 | Top | 34-42 | Win | 100 | 46 h 12 m | Show |
CFB 100 DIME GAME ARIZONA -3 Quite frankly, everything scares me about playing Arizona. The Buffs just lost, at home, to the worst team in the Pac-12. So I would say that any team is scary at this point. Arizona has a great athlete at QB that could have run for 1,000 yards against CU alone last year and the Wildcats just put a beating on a better team than the Buffs. As you can tell, I am psychologically scarred from last week. |

11-02-18 | Grizzlies v. Jazz -7.5 | 110-100 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 57 m | Show | |
NBA 75 DIME GAME JAZZ -7.5 Memphis backup point guard Shelvin Mack recorded season highs of 14 points and eight assists on Tuesday. Utah star shooting guard Donovan Mitchell left Wednesday’s game in the fourth quarter with hamstring tightness and is questionable for Friday. Jazz shooting guard Alec Burks (hand) sat out the last two games and is listed as day-to-day. There was still no spread as of Thursday night because of Mitchell’s status, so check back later. But for the moment it looks like Grizzlies will probably get enough points to cover. Memphis is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings between the two teams and 4-0 ATS in its last four trips to Utah. |

11-02-18 | Knicks +6.5 v. Mavs | 118-106 | Win | 100 | 4 h 33 m | Show | |
NBA 75 DIME GAME KNICKS +6.5 Dallas is hoping that the combination of Doncic and Dennis Smith Jr. will become the foundation for contending teams for years to come — much in the same way that the core of Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki, and Michael Finley helped usher in a new era of winning Mavericks basketball. The Mavericks enter the week scoring 111.4 points per game on offense, while allowing 116.6 points per game on the defense end of the floor. Take the Knicks and the points here. |

11-02-18 | Pacers -7.5 v. Bulls | Top | 107-105 | Loss | -106 | 3 h 10 m | Show |
NBA 75 DIME GAME PACERS -7.5 In their four meetings last season the Pacers led the Bulls 3-1 wins and were 1-1 in Chicago (Bulls won by 12 points and Pacers by 18). Bulls have a 1-3 home record this season, while the Pacers are 3-2 on the road. Bulls are better offensively, scoring 109.9 ppg to Pacers’ 108.8, while Pacers are better defensively, allowing 102.6 ppg to Bulls’ 118.4 ppg. Pacers have better percentages both in field goals (50.58% to 46.29%) and in 3-pointers (41.57% to 39.34%). Bulls are better both in dimes made (23.9 to 23.4) and in boards grabbed (41.4 to 40.4) and both teams commit almost the same number of turnovers (14 to 14.4). Pacers are superior to the Bulls and lay the chalk here. |

11-01-18 | Raiders +3 v. 49ers | Top | 3-34 | Loss | -120 | 19 h 60 m | Show |
NFL 100 DIME SYNDICATE GAME RAIDERS +3 Just because the 49ers are potent on offense doesn't mean they'll cover a field-goal spread against the Derek Carr-led Raiders. Oakland's quarterback was an efficient 21 for 28 for 244 yards and three touchdowns last week versus Indy. Expect Carr to have the crosshairs on favorite target Jared Cook. The tight end is No. 1 on the team in receiving yards with 474 and has found pay dirt three times. Carr also will look for Jordy Nelson, who has a 173-yard performance under his belt this season. Doug Martin and Jalen Richard form a one-two backfield punch. Martin is notching 4.3 yards per carry, while Richard is a more lethal pass-catching threat. Richard has more receptions (39) than any other Raider. |

NBA 75 DIME GAME KINGS +5 The Kings have been solid on the offensive end of the floor in the early going this season. Sacramento is 6th in the league in scoring with 117 points per game and 15th in rebounding with 45.2 boards per contest. The Kings are 16th with 23.7 assists a night. Sacramento has been below average defensively, ranking 28th by allowing 120.3 points per game. De’Aaron Fox leads the Kings with 17.7 points plus seven assists per contest. Buddy Hield chips in 17.2 points per game, Willie Cauley-Stein adds 16.5 points plus eight rebounds a night, Marvin Bagley III is good for 13.7 points plus 7.2 boards a game and Nemanja Bjelica contributes 13.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per contest. Iman Shumpert, Justin Jackson, Frank Mason III, Yogi Ferrell, Harry Giles and Ben McLemore are all key players for coach Dave Joerger. The team hopes to get Bogdan Bogdanovic back in early November after knee surgery. Sacramento is 3rd in the league in field goal percentage as they shoot 50 percent from the floor. The Kings stand tied for 24th in the league with 10 three pointers per game and currently are 4th in three-point shooting at 39.5 percent from beyond the arc. The Magic on the other hand is not as good as the Kings. The Kings have the advantage outside the paint. I have Kings by 4 points. The under is good here too. |

NBA 75 DIME GAME SPURS -7.5 Dallas is in the middle of a 3 game losing streak, after their loss to the Utah Jazz, 113 - 104; Gobert: 23 pts, 16 reb, 3 blk, 2 stl. The Mavericks have a 2-4 record during their last 10-game stretch and are 0-3 in away games this season. Dennis Smith Jr. dropped a team-high 27 points in their last game. He shot a 63.2% field goal percentage, making 12-of-19 (no free throw attempts, 3/4 from three-point range). Smith Jr. finished with 27 points, 3 assists, 1 rebound, 2 blocks and 3 threes with 3 turnovers in 33 minutes. The Spurs have to much firepower and should win by 12 points or more. |

NBA 100 DIME GAME WARRIORS -11 Chicago won their last game against the Atlanta Hawks, 97 - 85; LaVine: 27 points, 11 rebounds. The Bulls enter this contest with a 2-4 record in their last 10 games and a 1-1 mark at home. Zach LaVine dropped a team-high 27 points in their last game. He shot a 47.4% field goal percentage, making 9-of-19 (8/10 from the line, 1/5 from three-point range). LaVine finished with 27 points, 3 assists, 11 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 three with 9 turnovers in 34 minutes. The Bulls rank well in three point percentage (#5), field goal percentage (#11) and free throw percentage (#15). The team needs work on offensive rebounds per game (#30), points per game (#23) and turnovers per game (#22). Golden State is on a 4 game win streak, after they beat the Brooklyn Nets, 120 - 114; Curry, Durant combine for 69 points. The Warriors have a 6-1 record during their last 10-game stretch and are 3-1 in away games this season. Stephen Curry dropped a team-high 35 points in their last game. He shot a 42.3% field goal percentage, making 11-of-26 (6/7 from the line, 7/15 from three-point range). Curry finished with 35 points, 3 assists, 7 rebounds, 1 steal and 7 threes with 2 turnovers in 36 minutes. The Warriors rank highly on assists per game (#1), field goal percentage (#1) and free throw percentage (#3). The team needs work on turnovers per game (#25), offensive rebounds per game (#22) and defensive rebounds per game (#12). The key in this game is the point spread. The Warriors can play in cruise control, and put up points from fouls. Chicago will attempt more 3 point shots to stay in range. The Warriors by 17 points or more. |

Taurean Prince is leading the team with 20.6 points per game in the early going. Rookie Trae Young is second on the team with 19.8 points plus 6.8 assists while Kent Bazemore is putting up 16 points a night. This game will be within range. Take the points here. |

The Blazers have a 3-2 record during their last 10-game stretch and are 1-1 in away games this season. Damian Lillard led the Blazers with 42 points in their last game against the heat. He went 15-of-28 from the field, for a 53.6% field goal percentage; 7/7 from the line, 5/11 from three-point range. In 36 minutes, Lillard's stat line came out to 42 points, 6 assists, 7 rebounds and 5 threes with 1 turnover. The key in this game is the drive.

10-28-18 | Broncos +10.5 v. Chiefs | Top | 23-30 | Win | 100 | 95 h 29 m | Show |
NFL 100 DIME SILVER GOY BRONCOS +10.5 Week 7 was filled with blowout results and Denver was on the right side of one of those last Sunday. The Broncos shot down the Arizona Cardinals 45-10 thanks in large part to two interceptions returned for touchdowns. It was a bounce-back performance from head coach Vance Joseph’s normally stout defence. It was only a few weeks ago the New York Jets totaled 503 total yards of offence against Denver. Emmanuel Sanders is unquestionably the top offensive playmaker for the Broncos. The wide receiver leads his team with 46 catches, 603 receiving yards and three TD grabs. Sanders even got into the passing game last weekend against the Cards. He threw a 28-yard TD strike in the first quarter to put the Broncos up 14-0. The Bookmakers are giving to many points to the Chiefs since they surrender 26 points per game. This game will be decided within 4 points. |

10-28-18 | Browns +9.5 v. Steelers | Top | 18-33 | Loss | -125 | 95 h 16 m | Show |
NFL 100 DIME WISEGUY GOY BROWNS +9.5 I am taking the points with the Browns in this one. The Browns have been very competitive in all but one of their losses. Two of their defeats occurred in overtime, and they lost by only three points in New Orleans in week two, plus they tied the Steelers 21-21 in week one. The Browns are tied for first in the NFL with 11 interceptions on the season, and they picked off Ben Roethlisberger three times in week one. Also, the Steelers have received minimal production from their running game in Bell’s absence. They are only averaging 88 rushing yards per game, ranking them 26th in the NFL, and Bell has yet to report to the Steelers. Furthermore, Cleveland features a productive running game that ranks fifth in the NFL with an average of 135 rushing yards per game, and they were able to accumulate 177 rushing yards and two rushing TD’s against the Steelers in week one. The Browns should do enough on both sides of the ball to keep this one close. |

NFL 100 DIME EXECUTIVE GOY JAGUARS +3.5 The Jaguars defense rebounded with a solid effort against the Texans after struggling in losses to KC and Dallas in week 5 and 6. Their pass defense still ranks #1, while their rush defense is scuffling. Despite their struggles, the Jaguars are only one game out of first place in the AFC South, and they are currently averaging 16.6 points, ranking them down at 29th in the NFL. They are holding opponents to 20.9 points, pegging them ninth in the NFL. I like the Jaguars to pull out of the slump and pull the victory here. |

10-27-18 | Navy +24 v. Notre Dame | Top | 22-44 | Win | 100 | 7 h 30 m | Show |
CFB 100 DIME GAME NAVY +24 The Midshipmen need to get right, and unfortunately they're in the midst of a four-game stretch where the opponents combined record is 26-2. Malcolm Perry got banged up in the 49-36 shootout loss at Houston, and the Irish have had an extra week to prepare for Navy's offense. It's tough to imagine Navy having much success -- though if you are looking for a trend that could favor the out-of-nowhere upset, eight of Navy's 13 wins in the series have come at neutral sites -- but there is going to be plenty to build on for the rest of the AAC schedule after going up against one of the best teams in the country. A strong performance from Navy's defense would be very encouraging, particularly considering the high-flying UCF Knights are coming right around the corner. This game will be decided by 2 touchdowns. |

CFB 100 DIME GAME TEXAS A&M +1.5 Texas A&M and Mississippi State are now going in different directions this season with the Bulldogs spiraling towards mediocrity while the Aggies have improved each week. The national spotlight has rightfully been given to Alabama and LSU, but A&M is lurking in the shadows as a one-loss in-conference team that could grab a share of the SEC West title in a three-way tie with LSU and Alabama. Over the 11-game history between A&M and MSU dating back to 1912, the Bulldogs have a slight edge with a 6–5 series nod. The Aggies are refreshed and have something to play for, while MSU takes the field after a bruising game against LSU. The Aggies by 4 points or more. |

CFB 100 DIME GAME KENTUCKY +7.5 Saying the coaching staff has concerns regarding Terry Wilson would be an understatement. Though he’s 7-1 as a starter, Wilson’s play from the pocket has been far from the leading cause of Kentucky’s success. Though their defense should be able to keep the game from becoming a shootout, the Wildcats’ will need to move the ball downfield in order to win at Mizzou. Benny Snell has had yet another phenomenal season for the Wildcats and their defense has lived beyond expectations. However, without stability under center, it’s difficult for teams to win on the road in the SEC. While Wilson made a few exceptional throws at Florida, he also played one of his worst games as a starter at Texas A&M. The Wildcats are the better team, but this game will be much closer than what it should be. A change at QB seems inevitable, though Wilson could also come out & torch what is the 96th-ranked defense in the country. Final Score: Kentucky 24, Missouri 20 |

10-26-18 | Nets v. Pelicans -9.5 | 115-117 | Loss | -101 | 7 h 48 m | Show | |
NBA 75 DIME GAME PELICANS -9.5 The Nets are off to a modest 2-2 start in the season, but they’ll be way in over their heads against the Pelicans. They don’t have nearly enough firepower to go shot-for-shot with the top-ranked scoring team in the NBA, much less the defense to slow them down. The Pelicans are averaging 132 points per game and beating opponents by an average of 15.3 points. Meanwhile, Brooklyn still ranks as one of the worst scoring teams in the league, despite all of their improvements, and opponents are averaging 106.5 points per game on them. That isn’t a good thing when going on the road to take on one of the top-three best players in the NBA. There might be no answer for Davis on any roster, and there certainly isn’t one on the Nets’. Obviously, the Nets could always get hot from the field, particularly from beyond the arc. They have been a middle-of-the-road three-point shooting team throughout the first four games of the season. Russell, Harris, Jared Dudley and Spencer Dinwiddie are all capable of knocking down the three-pointer. However, it still won’t be enough to pull off the upset against this surging Pelicans team. |

NBA 75 DIME GAME RAPTORS -11 Toronto has been on a roll despite having to integrate a new star (Leonard) and a new coach (Nurse) into the system. Despite all that, the Raptors are outscoring the opposition by 11.2 points per game so far this year. We saw some good things from the Mavericks but blowing a 26 point lead against the Hawks to lose by seven dulls the shine of any positives they had. Toronto is 4-0 at home and unbeaten overall on the year: you can’t expect Dallas to upend them after Wednesday’s meltdown. |

NBA 75 DIME GAME WARRIORS -12 While the Warriors have had their struggles on the road in the early going this season, there’s no reason to think that the Knicks can hang around here. Sure, they’re 2-0 ATS but they beat a bad Atlanta team, then got the Celtics shorthanded in the second game of a back to back to cover. Golden State showed how dangerous they can be Wednesday night by carving up the Wizards. The Warriors simply have too much talent for New York to contend with. You have to ride Golden State into the ground here as they overwhelm the Knicks, who are still shell shocked after the third quarter against the Heat. The over is a play as well. |

It won’t come easy against a Hornet team reeling after getting thumped on the road by the Toronto Raptors. The Bulls lost on the road on Monday night, 109-115, to the Dallas Mavericks. The Bulls only allow 109 points per game, while the Hornets allow 106 points per game. The points and over is good here. |

That being said, it’s not like the Lakers cannot keep up with their own offense. This should be a classic Western Conference game, with both teams running up and down the floor and scoring in bunches. Although L.A. is winless as of Wednesday, it has been competitive. A turn of the corner should come soon, and it will likely come in front of the home crowd. But take the four points just to be safe. |

NFL 100 Dime Inside Move Dolphins +7.5 Ryan Tannehill apparently won’t get another shot at the Texans as he is expected to miss a third straight game. In Week 6 vs. Chicago, Tannehill was oddly scratched with a mystery shoulder injury the morning of the game despite practicing most of the week. It was so strange that the NFL opened an investigation. Brock Osweiler played out of his mind in that upset of the Bears. He was still pretty good Sunday, but the Dolphins lost 32-21 at home to Detroit. Miami was gashed for 248 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. Detroit had 457 yards total and six scoring drives of at least 63 yards. Osweiler’s top receiver, Albert Wilson, left with a hip injury and is going to be gone a while. He has 26 catches for 391 yards and four scores on the season. Miami is 1-7 ATS in its past eight on the road. Texans win 20-17. Take the points here. |

NBA 75 DIME GAME CELTICS -1 Not even Westbrook can hide the fact that the Thunder aren’t shooting the ball well right now. As a team, they are shooting 39 percent from the field and 66.7 percent from the free throw line. They have also struggled defensively, giving up 108-plus points in each outing. More importantly, however, they haven’t shot the ball well from beyond the arc, and there’s no secret that bad three-point shooting teams typically don’t do well in today’s NBA. It would be surprising to see Tatum and Brown have another night where both fail to score double-digits for the Celtics. This is the kind of bounce back opportunity they’ll sink their teeth into in hopes of sending a message that they are legitimate championship contenders. Westbrook and Paul George should have big games against the Celtics defense, but the two of them alone won’t be enough to stave off the Celtics’ ridiculous depth. They’ll get lit up again for a second consecutive game on their home floor and plummet to a shocking 0-4 start. |

Every time they get off to a solid start or have a big win, they have trouble capitalizing on it and tend to letdown. There is no reason to think that this year’s team is any different. After starting the season with a big divisional win, the dropped their next contest at home the Hornets 120-88. You can expect more of the same on Wednesday night at Amway when a pissed off Portland side comes into town looking to get the nasty taste of their first loss of the season out of their mouth. |

NBA 75 DIME GAME ROCKETS -2 In their nine meetings last season the Rockets had a commanding 8-1 lead including a 4-1 win in the Western Semifinals. Rockets have a 0-1 home record this season, while the Jazz are 1-0 on the road. Rockets are better offensively, scoring 116 ppg to Jazz’s 110, while the Jazz are better defensively, allowing 111 ppg to Rockets’ 120.3. Rockets have a better field goal percentage (45.49% to 44%), while the Jazz have a better 3-point percentage (38.1% to 37.6%). Rockets are also better both in dimes made (23.7 to 21) and in turnovers committed (14 to 16.3), while the Jazz are better in boards grabbed (44 to 42). Despite their struggles in this season the Rockets remain the big favorite for the win today. |

NBA 75 DIME GAME KNICKS +8 New York Knicks have a 1-3 record so far this season and currently sit in the third to last place of the East. They have three consecutive losses and in their last game they lost on the road against the Bucks with a 113-124 score. They are led in scoring by Tim Hardaway Jr with 27 ppg, adding 3.2 boards and 2.8 dimes. He is followed by Enes Kanter with 19 ppg and a team high 12.2 boards per game, while Trey Burke adds 13.2 ppg and a team high 5.2 dimes per game. In their four meetings last season, each team won twice at home with the Heat winning by an average of 12.5 points. Heat have a 0-1 home record this season, while the Knicks are 0-2 on the road. Knicks are better offensively, scoring 111.3 ppg to Heat’s 108.7, while the Heat are better defensively, allowing 109.7 ppg to Knicks’ 110.3. Knicks have better percentages both in field goals (43.19% to 41.34%) and in 3-pointers (34.4% to 31.37%). They are also better in turnovers committed (11.8 to 17.3), while the Heat are better both in boards grabbed (52 to 48) and in dimes made (20.7 to 20). Knicks have been one of the weakest squads in the East but they are a different team with superstars. The Knicks will put up more points! The Knicks can pull the upset here. |

NBA 75 DIME Game Nets +3 The Nets are a decent basketball team. They might not have the sexier names but the Nets are younger and faster than the Cavaliers. They shoot better, never stop hustling, better defensively and that’s a credit to their Head Coach Kenny Atkinson. If you watched the Cavaliers/Hawks game you saw Trae Young go off against them in their own barn. If you indeed saw the game you had to of noticed the Cavs weren’t guarding Young, or anyone else for that matter. The Cavaliers were an awful defensive team last season but they had LeBron James to save them. Unfortunately for the Cavaliers those problems aren’t solved overnight and mu money is on the Nets Wednesday night. |

NBA 75 DIME GAME NUGGETS -11.5 I am taking the Nuggets in this one. The Nuggets are off to a terrific 3-0 start and they should come away with a convincing win. Denver features a ton of scoring depth, and their rebounding and defense has been outstanding. They are limiting opponents to 41% shooting in three games, and they rank third in the NBA with an average of 52 rebounds per game. While Sacramento is enjoying a hot start offensively, they won’t keep up their current pace. They were the lowest scoring team in the NBA last season, and they will have a tough time against a Denver team playing stellar defense, plus the Kings defense has been awful through three games. |

The Pelicans are blistering the nets in the early going of the season as Mirotic has meshed well with Davis. New Orleans has found some quality role players to work with in their rotation. The Clippers could be without Bradley in this one, which could impact their defensive scheme. In the end, LA doesn’t have the weapons to contend with the Pelicans’ depth and skill players. Davis and Mirotic lead the way for a New Orleans victory. |

NBA 75 DIME GAME SPURS +1.5 The Spurs are a super star team. The line is late getting up as they sort through Lakers suspensions and whatnot from the altercation against the Rockets. It is starting to look a lot like the oddmakers are going to give the Lakers more credit than they are worth this season due to the addition of King James. The truth of the matter is, the Lakers, just like last year, are a mess. They are going to be the kind of team that will hang around for a while, and it is almost hard not to when you have the best basketball player on the planet on your team, but until they develop more team chemistry they are just not going to be there at the end. |

NBA 75 DIME GAME Jazz -10 The Jazz can shoot from all directions. They are strong at home. This spot is just simply too perfect for the Utah Jazz as a bettor. The team has two days off and is furious about blowing a victory against the defending NBA champions. Utah should come out motivated as the team will not want to start the season out with a 1-2 record. I think that Utah will continue to roll on offense and I do not think the Grizzlies will have any answers on the defensive end. |

NFL 100 DIME BOOKIE MISMATCH GOM FALCONS -4 The current over/under of 54.5 points is a challenging mark to decide on, and Bryant being sidelined for this game only adds to the back and forth on which side to take on that pick. Thus, taking the Falcons and laying the six points is the better option at the moment. Even if Atlanta holds out Ridley and Sanu, Ryan still has enough in Jones and Hooper to consistently move the ball down the field, and New York’s defense does not make enough big plays to help its offense in the form of turnovers to create short fields. Stopping Barkley will be a huge challenge for the Falcons, and whether he causes them to deviate from their Cover-3 will be something to watch. If the Falcons can do something big early on either side of the ball, that can turn into a feeding frenzy that triggers an easy victory given how fragile the Giants appear to be at the moment. Falcons 34 Giants 23 |

NBA 100 DIME GAME PACERS +3.5 This matchup features two very evenly matched teams and I expect a close, hard fought divisional battle, so I am siding with Indiana. The Pacers are coming off a dominating 28 point win against Memphis, and their scoring depth should make an impact. The Bucks’ three point defense ranked near the bottom of the NBA last season as opponents shot 37.3% from beyond the arc against them, and the Pacers ranked eighth in the NBA with a solid 37% efficiency from three-point range last year. Furthermore, the Bucks rebounding was an issue last season as they ranked last in the NBA with an average of only 39.9 rebounds per game. |

NBA 100 DIME GAME RAPTORS -2.5 The two acquisitions from the San Antonio Spurs in the offseason, Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green, were great in their Raptor regular-season debuts. Leonard’s 24 and 12 were already mentioned above, but Green hit 3 of 7 three-pointers, added five rebounds, and was a plus-15 in his 33 minutes of playing time. Toronto will take that every game. The Raptors hit 14 of 33 threes against Cleveland, powered by Kyle Lowry hitting 5 of 6. The Raptors’ bench scored 35 points, picking up from last season when it was also one of the best supporting casts in the NBA. Toronto’s defense was prone to fouling – it allowed Cleveland to shoot 39 free throws – but it limited the Cavs to just seven made threes and 40 percent field goal shooting. The NBA head coaching debut of new Toronto boss Nick Nurse went relatively smoothly. |

NBA 100 DIME GAME KNICKS +4 New York plans to play at a faster pace this season and it showed in the opener as they played at a faster tempo than any team that has logged a game so far this season. The Knicks were just 17th in that category a year ago and the new strategy might be effective given that they have to make up for Porzingis’s absence. The Nets hung tough despite their poor three point shooting but it’s tough to like a team that is overreliant on perimeter shooting despite a pronounced inability to have success. That’s Brooklyn in a nutshell. In one of the season’s early improbabilities, the Knicks take advantage of the Nets and start the year 2-0. |

CFB BOOKIE BLOWOUT 100 DIME GAME VIRGINIA TECH -5.5 Ryan Willis is coming through. He might not have pulled off the win over Notre Dame last week, but that was hardly his fault. Okay, so he wasn’t amazing, but he threw for 309 yards and two touchdowns and a pick to at least move the offense a little bit. That was coming off a 332-yard, three touchdown day in the win over Duke. North Carolina’s pass defense has actually been okay – the issues are on the other side. Over the four games, the offense has only scored more than 19 points once, it’s a disaster on third downs, and there’s no consistent downfield passing game. Outside of a few runs by Notre Dame’s Dexter Williams, the Virginia Tech run defense is excellent. If the Tar Heels don’t get things moving on the ground, the offense isn’t going anywhere.

The Washington offense has yet to find a rhythm, and they are only averaging 22.7 points in their three road games on the season. Oregon features an outstanding rush defense that is limiting opponents to only 112 rushing yards per game, so they should be able to neutralize Myles Gaskin and a Huskies running game that has not played to their full potential yet this season. In addition, the Ducks’ offense has consistently put up points in all five games led by Justin Herbert who has collected 15 touchdown passes on the season. The Huskies’ rush defense has been average, ranking 41st in the country, and the Oregon running game is averaging a sizzling 216 rushing yards per game led by CJ Verdell. |

I think USF will come out firing against Tulsa. Barnett will be the star of the game, proving he was worthy of the five-star rating. If Tulsa can get the run game going and can take time off the clock, I think it could be a low-scoring affair like last year. With that said, give me the Bulls by double digits.

Backup QB Blaine Gabbert has a chance to take down Jacksonville, the team that took him with the 10th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, for the second time in two years. Gabbert started under centre for the Arizona Cardinals when the AFC West club topped the Jaguars 27-24 last season.

And now the Badgers have had two weeks off to rest up that dinged up O line. Nebraska is dead last in the Big Ten in time of possession, keeping it for under 28 minutes a game mostly because Martinez and company can’t convert on third down chances. You know what the Badgers are going to do, and the Nebraska defensive front can’t stop it. The Huskers have allowed four rushing touchdowns in each of the last two games, and now they’re going to get steamrolled over by the rested Wisconsin offensive front. Wisconsin by 28 points |

CFB 75 DIME GAME SYRACUSE -3 As Clemson found out, this Syracuse defense isn’t all that bad. It’s as strong as it’s been in years, and now, the Orange have the right mix under Dino Babers to be good enough to not just hang with a team like Clemson, but actually come really, really close to beating it on the road. It all starts with the defensive front and a great pass rush that’s been able to crank up ten sacks over the last two weeks and generate consistent pressure against the good offensive lines, much less the weaker ones. The Pitt offensive front isn’t all that bad, but it’s not doing anything for a woeful running game that’s not able to find anything that consistently works. And that’s the big problem for the Panthers – the lines aren’t playing well enough. That goes hand-in-hand with being second-to-last in the ACC in both offense and defense. The Orange D is getting the job done, and the O is working, too, scoring 30 points or more in every game but the loss to Clemson – no shame in only putting up 23 points in Death Valley. |

Texas will seem like it always has the ball, and it’ll be in control of the game, but it’ll get hit with just enough Oklahoma home runs to keep it close. Texas will play really, really well, but it won’t be able to put the game away. When pressed, Murray will overcome a frustrating first three quarters with two fourth quarter touchdown drives to take the game back. The Texas drives that ended with field goals instead of touchdowns will be haunting. By 3 points |

Similarly, don’t be fooled by Pettine’s calm demeanor at press conferences: he’s going to be motivated to get a faster start from his defense. With Oren Burks healthy, Josh Jones hopefully healthy, and Bryan Bulaga healthy enough (he practiced Thursday), the Packers should have enough firepower to put up points on the Bills’ defense and make life tough for rookie quarterback Josh Allen.

CFB 100 DIME GAME OREGON -2 Cal's defeat of BYU is certainly impressive in hindsight. The Golden Bears proved they can outlast a physical, defensive-minded team and take advantage of question marks on offense. Oregon is an entirely different opponent. Defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt has introduced a more smash-mouth approach on defense, but the Ducks can and will continue to push the pace when on offense. Oregon can get out to a fast start and dictate the tempo, Cal is much less equipped to rally than Stanford a week ago. The first few possessions should reveal much about both teams. This is Cal's opportunity to score a marquee win and announce itself as a Pac-12 title contender. Oregon can rebound in as much of a must-win scenario as a team can face in September.

But no matter how I have looked at this game, it is tough to see a way that South Carolina wins at Kroger Field on Saturday. Kentucky is better on paper. They are the more physical team. They have the momentum. After looking at every angle, I think the Wildcats are going to have to lay an egg to lose this one. If Kentucky does walk away with a win and they strut into College Station at 5-0, the hype around this team will be out of control. They will be knocking on the top 10 and Benny Snell will take another leap in the Heisman race. I, for one, am here for all of that. |

CFB 100 DIME GAME FLORIDA ATLANTIC -3 It was about at this point last year when the machine turned on, but the offense has already started to work. The defense struggled against UCF and Oklahoma, but that’s UCF and Oklahoma. This is where the Middle Tennessee passing game rocks, cranking up at least 250 yards at a 65% clip with three touchdowns throws. But the FAU running game is working. Running for 376 yards and six scores against Bethune-Cookman is one thing, but coming up with 320 yards and four touchdowns against UCF is another. The FAU offense will do just a wee bit more in a wild firefight. Get ready for a whole lot of tempo swings and a lot of points, but the Middle Tennessee defense will have a harder time getting off the field. |

Still, history also says Texas coach Tom Herman is far better against the spread as an underdog. A lot of clashing trends here, but for the sake of making a pick, I'd sooner bet on Snyder in this situation than Herman. |

09-29-18 | West Virginia v. Texas Tech +4 | Top | 42-34 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 38 m | Show |
CFB 100 DIME GAME TEXAS TECH +4 Honestly, my preseason predictions had Texas Tech starting 7-0 before a massive collapse to finish sixth. Obviously, I had Tech winning this game. West Virginia’s defense has looked good in its first three games, but they still gave up way too many points to Youngstown State. Quite frankly the turnover situation is going to be a major difference. Tech’s defense prides itself on turnovers. In a game featuring two gunslinging, air raid offenses, turnovers are everything. Each missed opportunity becomes points the other direction. Give me the better defense. |

NFL 100 DIME GAME VIKINGS +7 Last week the Vikings under estimated the Bills and took a massive beating. Today the hit the road to take on the Rams. The Rams have really good team, but the Vikings know this team like a book. The Vikings are 5-0 straight up in L.A, and 6-3 on the road when playing the rams. The Rams have some key figures on the injured list. This game will be played conservative. |

MLB 75 DIME GAME ROCKIES -1.5 The Phillies are not only out of the playoff race, but with their swoon in the last few weeks they are in danger of finishing the season under .500. They have really struggled at the dish and they have lost six of their last seven Game 3’s. Look for that streak to continue, as what will also continue is Marquez being steady and Pivetta not getting much run support. The Rockies will take this game and continue their push for the playoffs sending the Phillies to yet another loss. |

NFL 100 DIME GAME BUCS +1 The Bucs have a really good team this year. Steelers haven't been able to get things on its way. They struggled against the Browns, and just don't have the stingy defense. I like the Bucs here to pull the victory. |

09-23-18 | Chargers +7 v. Rams | Top | 23-35 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 16 m | Show |
HIGH ROLLER 100 DIME GOM CHARGERS +7 Biggest challenge yet for the Rams will be this week. It’s been a long time since the Rams have started off 3-0, and it will by no means be an easy feat this week. Chargers QB Phillip Rivers is a surefire first class hall of fame player, and still playing like he’s in his prime. He’s a bad boy, and one of my favorite QB’s of my lifetime. He’s surrounded by talent in RB Melvin Gordon, WR’s Keenan Allen and Travis Benjamin, change-of-pace back Austin Eckler, and a solid offensive line. Aside from that they have one of five best front sevens in the NFL. However, their secondary (which is really good) is banged up. This could be a game where Todd Gurley sees about 7-9 targets out of the backfield. If so he might go off in the second half. Rams defense has their hands full but the Rams offense has some holes to exploit due to injuries on the Chargers defense. Could be looking at a shootout, which is the wrong time to lose Greg Zuerlein. This is more evenly matched than people are giving it credit for being. I’m going Rams because when it’s even homer-ism kicks in. Prediction: Rams win, 30-27 |

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 100 DIME GAME IOWA +3.5 This was always going to be one of the tough hurdles for Wisconsin to clear this season if the Badgers were going to make a playoff push. After losing last week, Wisconsin cannot afford to lose again now that conference play is opening, but winning on the road in Kinnick Stadium is not easy for anybody. Iowa has the tools in place to go head to head with Wisconsin but will need quarterback Nate Stanley to shrug off a disaster of a game against Wisconsin last season. Odds are, Stanley is not going to complete just 8-of-24 pass attempts for 41 yards this time around. He doesn’t have to throw five touchdowns as he did against Ohio State last year, but Stanley should be able to lead enough effective drives at home to give Iowa a chance to jump on top of the Big Ten West standings and secure a win against Wisconsin. |

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 100 DIME GAME UCF -13.5 FAU’s shaky defense early this season – including allowing 28 to Bethune-Cookman – leads me to think the Knights will have their way on offense, especially with a hurricane-imposed bye week to prepare and rest. Lane Kiffin’s Owls have no issue scoring, but they don’t score nearly enough … UCF 56, Florida Atlantic 31. |

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 100 DIME GOY OREGON ST +3.5 This is where the Oregon State offense really starts to look the part. The defense will have its issues at times slowing down the Nevada passing attack, but the ground game will do whatever is needed to answer every good Wolf Pack drive. This won’t be a walk in the park, but even on the road, the Beavers will have control of the game in the third quarter. |

NFL 100 Dime GOY Seahawks +3 Points The Seahawks went 0-4 in the Preseason, but they have been testing new waters with there 20 new players on the roster. The defense looks really good, and they are younger and a lot faster. The Broncos are going to start Keenum, who is not the greatest QB. Keenum has some new targets on the recieving side, and this is the issue i see in this game. The Broncos will struggle against the run, and will try to keep the ball in the air. Other Factors the Broncos are 5-15 ATS when playing on grass! The Seahawks are 4-1 ATS on the road, and I like them to pull the victory! 28-17. |
