12-14-19 | Old Dominion v. Illinois -13.5 | 55-69 | Win | 100 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Illinois knocked on the door of a confidence-building Big Ten victory before pushing it in last time out and looks to avoid losing the momentum when it hosts Old Dominion for a non-conference contest Saturday night. The Illini lost by two against Miami (Fla.) of the ACC before coming up short in a 59-58 loss to No. 4 Maryland last Saturday, but broke through by holding off seventh-ranked Michigan 71-62 on Wednesday. The Illini won the only other previous meeting 80-62 at the San Juan Shootout in Puerto Rico in 1990. |

12-14-19 | Oklahoma +4.5 v. Wichita State | 75-80 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Wichita State will try to complete the Okie Double when it hosts Oklahoma on Saturday. The Shockers knocked off Oklahoma State on the road Sunday behind the play of freshman Tyson Etienne and will look to thwart the Sooners in a battle of one-loss teams.Wichita State, which will face Oklahoma for the fourth straight season having dropped the last two meetings, has never beaten the Sooners and Cowboys in the same season. |

12-14-19 | Hurricanes v. Flames +108 | 4-0 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Calgary Flames have ignited their offense, and victories have followed suit. The Flames have highlighted a nine-game point streak (8-0-1) by winning each of their last seven games heading into Saturday afternoon's contest against the visiting Carolina Hurricanes. Calgary scored three times in the third period of Thursday's 4-2 victory over Toronto, marking the fifth consecutive contest that the Flames have scored at least four goals while remaining undefeated since Geoff Ward was named the interim coach in place of Bill Peters. |

12-14-19 | Army +11.5 v. Navy | 7-31 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Middies owned the Cadets, with a 14-game winning steak ('02 thru '15), but the Knights have gone 3-0 SU (2-0-1 ATS) since, & the series dog is on a 4-0-1 spread run, with final SU margins of 7, 4, 4, 1 & 7 points. last year, Navy (+7) got the push on a 46-yard field goal in the last 0:29, despite a 222-127 rushing yard deficit. Mids on a 10-3 ATS run, as well as a 6-1 ATS chalk. Cadets 12-6 ATS away, but 0-11 ATS away with rest off a SU loss. A double digit spot here? Call yet another dog cover, just as struggling Knights did vs Air Force. |
|||||||
12-13-19 | Warriors v. Jazz -12.5 | 106-114 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Utah Jazz seem to be pulling out of their funk while the Golden State Warriors remain firmly at the bottom of the Western Conference. The Jazz will try to continue their upward trend at the expense of the Warriors when they host Golden State. Utah dropped six of eight and was coming off a dispiriting 104-90 home loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder when it turned the page by shooting 56.6 percent from the floor in a 127-116 triumph at Minnesota on Wednesday. Golden State battled back from a 22-point deficit at home to force overtime against the Eastern Conference-worst New York Knicks at home on Wednesday but could not finish it off and ended up falling 124-122 to drop into sole possession of the worst record in the league. |
|||||||
12-13-19 | Bucks -9.5 v. Grizzlies | 127-114 | Win | 100 | 9 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Even without superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks were barely tested while extending their winning streak to 16 games. They'll try to keep the remarkable run going Friday with a visit to the Memphis Grizzlies -- with or without the reigning MVP. Antetokounmpo missed the 127-112 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday due to quad soreness and his teammates responded in dominant fashion, racing to a 23-point halftime lead while matching the second-longest winning streak in franchise history. |
|||||||
12-13-19 | Nebraska v. Indiana -16 | 90-96 | Loss | -111 | 21 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Indiana didn't play particularly well Tuesday night against Connecticut, but it was good enough to come away with a 57-54 victory at Madison Square Garden in the Jimmy V Classic. The Hoosiers did not have a player reach double figures for the first time in more than 20 years, but 10 players scored and six finished with six points or more. Though Indiana lost at home to Nebraska last season, this group of Cornhuskers is a much different team. Under new coach Fred Hoiberg and with a revamped roster, Nebraska has struggled through its non-conference schedule and dropped three of its last four games, including a 95-76 loss to in-state opponent Creighton on Dec. 7. |
|||||||
12-12-19 | Jets v. Ravens -14 | 21-42 | Win | 100 | 47 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Rex Ryan bowl. Needless to say, this will be a tough venue for Sam Darnold. Jets bounced back from the embarrassing loss to Cincinnati, to pull off last-second win over the Dolphins. Have won 4-of-5 since starting 1-7, & have won 3 straight home games for first time in 3 years. Sam's last 5 games: 11 touchdowns with 2 interceptions. Raven machine keeps purring, with 9 straight wins, with Jackson only the 2nd QB in NFL history to rush for over 1,000 yards (Michael Vick). And Raven "D" has held 7-of-8 foes under 18 points. Crank it up in this one. |
|||||||
12-11-19 | Michigan -1 v. Illinois | 62-71 | Loss | -109 | 24 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Michigan is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite, 41-18-2 ATS in their last 61 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record, and 34-15-2 ATS in their last 51 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. While Illinois is 6-18 ATS in their last 24 games following a ATS win, 3-9 ATS in their last 12 Wednesday games, and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. |
|||||||
12-11-19 | Rockets -10.5 v. Cavs | 116-110 | Loss | -115 | 22 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Defense is not always the strong suit for a Rockets squad that gives up 115.1 points per game, but the Cavaliers do not represent much of a challenge in that department as they average 102.3 points per contest, 29th in the NBA entering Tuesday. Cleveland fell far short of that figure in a 110-88 setback at Boston on Monday, its season-high seventh straight defeat. The Cavaliers were a woeful 9-for-19 from the line while falling shy of the 100-point mark for the fourth consecutive contest. |
|||||||
12-09-19 | Giants v. Eagles -9 | 17-23 | Loss | -110 | 57 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units So much for the Eagles having the easiest remaining schedule in the NFL. Started celebrating too early after going up 28-14 in Miami. Were manhandled from that point on (outscored 23-3 while ceding 264 yards). First 3-game losing streak for Philly since 2016. Giants officially eliminated from the playoffs after dropping their 8th straight. First time they've done that in 5 yrs. Shurmur joining Ray Perkins to lose 10+ games in their 1st 2 seasons as Giants head coach. Barkley with 115 yards from scrimmage last week |
|||||||
12-08-19 | Seahawks +1 v. Rams | 12-28 | Loss | -106 | 33 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Fifty starts under the belt for Goff and it showed (32/43, 424 yards & 2 TDS). Second game this yr with over 500 yards of total offense. Gurley with 96 yards rushing & a TD. Rams have won 5 straight over the Cards by a total of 164-32. With the exception of the Ravens that Rams D has held their last 5 opponents to less than 17 points per game. Woods 172 yards receiving & Higbee with 107 yards receiving and a TD. Seahawks in off Monday Nighter, & are 10-0 ATS away vs a .500+ opponent. More room than 1st match. |
|||||||
12-08-19 | Rangers v. Golden Knights -210 | 5-0 | Loss | -210 | 4 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New York Rangers have lost all four matchups this season against Pacific Division opponents, but will have a chance to end the drought when they open a four-game road trip at the Vegas Golden Knights tonight. he Rangers may want to blot the memory of Monday's matchup against the Golden Knights, who scored twice in the opening four minutes to kick off a three-game trek in which they earned five of six points. Vegas goaltender, Fleury has won all three starts, allowing six goals, in three starts against New York since joining Vegas. |
|||||||
12-08-19 | Hawks v. Hornets -2 | 122-107 | Loss | -109 | 2 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Charlotte Hornets have won seven straight home games against the Atlanta Hawks, a streak they'll try to extend Sunday when the teams have their first meeting of the season. The Hawks snapped a 10-game losing streak with a lopsided win over Golden State earlier in the week before also falling to the Nets 130-118 on Wednesday. Atlanta has given up at least 120 points in 11 of its last 15 games and entered Saturday 28th in the league in scoring defense (117.8 points). |
|||||||
12-08-19 | Dayton -3 v. St. Mary's | 78-68 | Win | 100 | 2 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units 6-1 Dayton has cracked the AP's top-25 for the first time in four years. The Flyers proved they can play with anyone in nation after an impressive showing in the Maui Invitational. Dayton bested Georgia and Va Tech, before nearly upsetting Kansas in the title game, falling 90-84 in OT. Saint Mary's (9-1) has won EIGHT in a row but has yet to return to the top-25, after being ranked No. 20 in the preseason. The Gaels lone loss was in its second game, 61-59 at home vs Winthrop. |
|||||||
12-08-19 | North Carolina v. Virginia -4.5 | 47-56 | Win | 100 | 1 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units North Carolina is 6-16-1 ATS in their last 23 games as a road underdog, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss, and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. While Virginia is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss and have won the last four overall and five straight at John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville vs the Heels. |
|||||||
12-08-19 | Ravens -6 v. Bills | 24-17 | Win | 100 | 26 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units There was no way that Jackson could possibly duplicate his magnificent display in Monday's 45-6 thrashing of the Rams. However, Ravens winning streak is now 8 games, the latest coming on Justin Tucker's 49-yard field goal at the gun. Baltimore now 14-of-18 on 4th down tries, while Jackson is at 20 TDs & zero picks in his last 7 games. Bills were spectacular at Dallas, with Allen looking like John Elway. Three more TDs without a turnover. Bills guaranteed first winning record since 2000. Ravens again |
|||||||
12-08-19 | Dolphins v. Jets -5 | 21-22 | Loss | -103 | 26 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Jets 3-game winning streak is over, after that embarrassing loss to Cincinnati, to the previously win less Bengals. Jets are only team in NFL history to lose 2 games in a season, to teams with an 0-7 record, or worse. Now 1-7 vs the AFC, while failing to reach the Red Zone. What a fake field goal for the Dolphins! Never seen anything like that before, with Sanders the first kicker to catch a TD since Jim Turner in '77 for the Broncos. Fish scored on 6 of first 7 drives, but Jets scored 34 points in each of last 2 home games. |
|||||||
12-08-19 | Lions +13.5 v. Vikings | 7-20 | Win | 100 | 26 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Lions have led in every game this season, yet are just 3-8-1. QB David Blough added to another distinguished Lions record: being the 12th straight Lions' QB to lose his first start. He didn't look all that bad, though: 22-of-38 for 280 yards, 2 TDs, & just 1 pick. Galladay another 158 receiving yards and a TD. Vikings coming in off their Monday war with the Seahawks, so short week vs that machine may soften them up enough for Lions to get under spot. |
|||||||
12-08-19 | Bengals +8 v. Browns | 19-27 | Push | 0 | 26 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Well, the Bengals finally broke through, with their 22-6 upset of the Jets (19-point cover), thereby eliminating all thoughts of a win less season, & snapping the longest losing streak in team history (Dalton: team record 197 TD passes). That being the case, Cincinnati's stress has to be relieved (especially Taylor), while the Browns are just about out of it. The Bengals have now covered 3 straight, something Cleveland has yet to do. Browns are 1-9 ATS off a SU division loss, as well as 1-11 ATS off a SU division loss. Brownies, but not by enough.. |
|||||||
12-07-19 | Wisconsin v. Ohio State -15.5 | Top | 21-34 | Loss | -110 | 117 h 6 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit Championship Play of the Day Not too many could have envisioned such a heavy spot in this one, especially when the Badgers got off to such an awesome start, behind the rushing of Taylor, who has reached the 200 rushing yard mark 12 times in his career. But it all came crashing down for Wisconsin, vs the best defense in the nation, with Bucks coming in at 4th, 2nd, 4th, & 1st in run, pass, scoring, & total "D". And, offensively: 4th, 1st, & 5th in run, scoring, & total. Passing? Just 45th, although Fields ranks 4th, with amazing 37 touchdowns and 1 interception. And never forget the ever-present Dobbins, with his 19 TDs & 6.6 yards per rush. Last 2 weeks vs Penn State & Michigan? Try 229-99 & 264-91 rushing yard edges. Buckeyes have won & covered all 3 of their Big Ten title matches, including '14's 59-0 romper over the 10-2 Badgers. The best team in the land? Goes a long way in finding out. Only way to go here |
|||||||
12-07-19 | Virginia v. Clemson -28.5 | Top | 17-62 | Win | 100 | 116 h 26 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit Championship Game of the Week Oh, how the Tigers can perform. Twenty-seven straight wins, while ranking among the leaders in all categories: 10th, 25th, 4th, 3rd, 11th, 1st, 1st, 2nd, & 1st, to be exact. They sputted a bit out of the gate, spread wise, including that narrow 21-20 escape at North Carolina, as 27-point chalks. But fully focused since, with a 358-61 point edge in their last 7 games (+66.5 points ATS). Lawrence has shaken his early season doldrums (compared to last year's exploits, of course), but now ranks 9th in passing efficiency (30 touchdowns and 8 interceptions), while the irrepressible Etienne is sputtering along at 8.25 yards per rush. Cavs seem lost in the shuffle, but trying to take down such a formidable foe isn't in the Cards. So, we are not about to disembark from this unstoppable train. Regardless the spot, it's Clemson. |
|||||||
12-07-19 | Penguins -194 v. Red Wings | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Penguins improved to 5-2-0 in their last seven contests despite a host of injuries, including captain Sidney Crosby (hernia), and they welcomed back forward Bryan Rust and defenseman Justin Schultz on Friday from lower-body injuries. While the Penguins are hanging in the playoff race despite many obstacles, the Red Wings have lost 10 straight contests (0-8-2) and own the least points (17) in the league along with the least in franchise history through the first 30 games of a season. |
|||||||
12-07-19 | Georgia v. LSU -7 | 10-37 | Win | 100 | 113 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units What a match! The top-ranked Tigers have been special since the opening kickoff, returning 16 starters (8 apiece on both "O" & "D"). Led by Heisman-leading QB Burrow (4,366 yards, 44 touchdowns and 6 interceptions), they've run the table with a 49-22 points per game edge. A week ago, they simply demolished a very respectable A&M team, 50-7 (26-point cover), with a 553-169 yard edge. The 'Dawgs know that a win here ensures them a playoff spot. They've allowed 10.2 points per game in lined games this year, but Fromm ranks just 42nd in passing efficiency. Bengals again! |
|||||||
12-07-19 | Miami-OH v. Central Michigan -6.5 | 26-21 | Loss | -110 | 88 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Another game with the spread just under a TD, which satisfies us more than a little. The Chips have turned it all around in McElwain's first year, as Central Michigan came from last year's 1-11 campaign, to this year's 8-4 mark, which includes a current 8-1-1 spread run (+145½ points ATS). The always dangerous Redhawks, were rolling, themselves (4-0 SU & ATS), before mere 20-17 SU win over Akron (worst team in the land), followed by a 2-TD loss to 5-7 Ball State. As we said, momentum is a very underrated adjective. |
|||||||
12-06-19 | Oregon v. Utah -6.5 | 37-15 | Loss | -105 | 93 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units After the Utes' opening throttling of Byu, we decided to ride this team until things changed. So what happens? A 3½ point miss vs NIU, & a SU loss to Southern Cal. But those would be the only slips, as Utah was thereafter a perfect 8-0 (+102 points ATS), both SU & ATS, while inching its way to the #5 spot in the land, thanks, mainly to a "D", which ranks 1st, 14th, 3rd, & 3rd in rushing, passing, scoring & total defense. The 'Ducks are always a dangerous opponent, with QB Herbert at 31 touchdowns with only 5 picks, but OU is 0-6 ATS as a road dog. Utah! |
|||||||
12-04-19 | Capitals -133 v. Kings | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 25 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Capitals are 8-2 in their last 10 vs. a team with a losing record, 16-5 in their last 21 overall, and 21-9 in their last 30 games as a road favorite. While Kings are 4-11 in their last 15 vs. a team with a winning % above .600, 6-22 in their last 28 vs. Eastern Conference and 1-4 in their last 5 in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 situation. |
|||||||
12-04-19 | Heat v. Celtics -5.5 | 93-112 | Win | 100 | 1 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This is a tough spot for the Heat. Last night, they left it all on the floor in an OT win at Toronto, against the defending champs. A great effort ... but it figures to take a toll tonight. With the Celtics coming in rested and with a perfect 9-0 ATS record (7-2 SU) against teams with a winning record, consider laying the points. |
|||||||
12-03-19 | Rockets -5.5 v. Spurs | 133-135 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units James Harden is fresh off the fourth 60-point output of his career and he looks to remain hot when the Houston Rockets visit the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday. Harden is tied with Michael Jordan for the third-most 60-point games in NBA history and trails only Wilt Chamberlain (32) and Kobe Bryant (six). Harden didn't play in the fourth quarter of Saturday's 158-111 trouncing of the Atlanta Hawks, and was 16-of-24 from the field, including 8-of-15 from 3-point range, and hit 20-of-23 free throws to fall one point shy of his career high (accomplished twice) and he enjoys the company he is keeping. |
|||||||
12-03-19 | Lightning +101 v. Predators | 3-2 | Win | 101 | 22 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Brayden Point, who missed the first three games of the season while finishing his recovery from double hip surgery, has warmed up with six goals in his last six games to take over the team lead with 10. Right wing Nikita Kucherov had 17 points in 11 November games after managing 11 in 12 October contests and leads the team with 28 after recording an assist Saturday. Mikhail Sergachev has all three of his goals in the last six contests and shares the team lead with fellow defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk (five goals, 19 points) with a plus-9 rating. |
|||||||
12-03-19 | Mavs -3.5 v. Pelicans | 118-97 | Win | 100 | 21 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The red-hot Dallas Mavericks search for their eighth victory in the past nine games when they visit the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday. Dallas is a superb 7-2 on the road, including Sunday's impressive 114-100 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. Star point guard Luka Doncic scored 21 of his 27 points in the second half against the Lakers and also contributed 10 assists and nine rebounds during what he said was a big victory for the Mavericks. |
|||||||
12-03-19 | Maple Leafs -105 v. Flyers | 1-6 | Loss | -105 | 21 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The loss to the Flyers ignited a six-game winless skid for a Toronto club that dismissed coach Mike Babcock in favor of Sheldon Keefe. The Maple Leafs rebounded to win four of their next five, with captain John Tavares scoring in overtime of a 2-1 victory on Saturday in the back end of a home-and-home series against Buffalo. |
|||||||
12-03-19 | Pistons -2 v. Cavs | 127-94 | Win | 100 | 21 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Detroit Pistons' offense sputtered in back-to-back losses to the Charlotte Hornets but came alive Sunday in a 132-98 drubbing of the San Antonio Spurs at home. The Pistons will try to carry that success on the road when they visit the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday. The Cavaliers are losers of three straight and nine of their last 10. |
|||||||
12-02-19 | Islanders -200 v. Red Wings | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 6 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New York Islanders snapped a three-game slide last time out and hope to end their scoring slump Monday night when they visit the struggling Detroit Red Wings, who have dropped nine consecutive contests. Thomas Greiss, who left in the first period due to illness, and Semyon Varlamov combined for a shutout as the Islanders defeated Columbus 2-0 on Saturday after scoring just twice during their slide (0-2-1). |
|||||||
12-02-19 | Devils v. Sabres -120 | 1-7 | Win | 100 | 6 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Both teams come in off losses. The Devils were blanked 4-0 at home by the Rangers, while the Sabres fought tooth and nail only to come up short in OT at Toronto. The Devils were 0-8 on their power play in their last loss and while they've been decent of late on the road, I think this team stumbles again here. While the Sabres have struggled over the last two weeks, they remain a sharp 7-3-3 at home this year. Buffalo is also 9-5 in its last 14 vs. clubs with losing records. Home ice matters tonight in my opinion. |
|||||||
12-01-19 | Wizards v. Clippers -12 | 125-150 | Win | 100 | 12 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Washington Wizards are the second-highest scoring team in the NBA but ran into a defense that could shut them down on Friday and are staring at another on Sunday. The Wizards will try to find a way to generate points when they visit Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. Washington is averaging 118.5 points but followed up a 140-point outburst in a win at Phoenix with 103 points on 39.6 percent shooting in a 125-103 loss to the Lakers on Friday. Washington will see a similar team in the Clippers, who should be motivated to bounce back after having a seven-game winning streak come to an end in a 107-97 loss at San Antonio on Friday. The loss was the first for Los Angeles with George and Leonard on the floor together as the two combined to go 10-of-34 from the floor. |
|||||||
12-01-19 | Canadiens v. Bruins -176 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Boston Bruins have earned points in 10 straight games (7-0-3) - the league's longest active stretch - and are the only team that has yet to lose in regulation at home. Those are just two of the streaks on the line for the red-hot Bruins, who also will vie for their seventh consecutive win when they host the reeling Montreal Canadiens tonight. Four of the victories during the current winning streak have come by one goal, but there was one notable exception: Boston annihilated the Canadiens 8-1 in Montreal on Tuesday night behind a hat trick from David Pastrnak. The Canadiens are focused on a streak of their own - namely ending a slide that reached seven games (0-4-3) with a 4-3 overtime setback to Philadelphia on Saturday afternoon. Aside from capping a winless five-game homestand, Montreal established a dubious franchise record with 24 goals allowed in the last four at home, eclipsing the previous mark of 23 that was set in March 1935. |
|||||||
12-01-19 | Rams v. Cardinals +3 | 34-7 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Very scary game for the Rams as the cards seem to get more dangerous by the week. Arizona is coming off a bye. Man, that Kylar Murray is impressive. The speed he showed on that 22 yard go-ahead TD with 6:00 left was incredible. Granted, they didn't hold onto the lead, but this team continues to improve. He had 3 total TDs (2 passing and that 22 yarder). He is the only QB to have 2 TDs & 0 picks vs that Niners' D this year. By the way the Cardinals outrushed San Fran 135-34 in that loss. |
|||||||
12-01-19 | Rhode Island v. West Virginia -10.5 | 81-86 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Rhode Island is 6-13 ATS in their last 19 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, 8-24 ATS in their last 32 Sunday games, and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. |
|||||||
12-01-19 | Browns v. Steelers +2.5 | 13-20 | Win | 100 | 25 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units One of the most anticipated games between these two that we can remember. Love how these 2 are facing off again so quickly after the Myles Garrett maylee. He is probably lucky to be suspended for this rematch as it could get ugly. Steelers have won 5 of 6. Rudolph benched in the 3rd quarter for Devlin Hodges, who did just enough to beat the winless Bengals. That's 10 in a row over Cincinnati. Snell 98 rushing yards to go along with Washington's 98 receiving yards & a TD. Quick retribution here. |
|||||||
12-01-19 | 49ers v. Ravens -5.5 | 17-20 | Loss | -108 | 25 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Rematch of Super Bowl XLVII and very well could be a Super Bowl preview. However, this time both Harbaughs won't be there and neither will Colin Kaepernick. Still can't believe the Niners didn't run the ball once after they had first and goal at the end of that one. Baltimore is coming off Monday Night game with the Rams, & have been the talk of the league, behind the brilliance of Jackson. Six straight wins, ranking atop of our weekly Power Ratings, with the Niners close by. Can't buck Lamar |

12-01-19 | Jets -3 v. Bengals | 6-22 | Loss | -100 | 25 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This game is basically the Bengals' Super Bowl. Could be their last shot to win a game straight up. Three wins in a row for the Jets after dismantling the Raiders in NY last week. That's 3 straight games scoring 30+ points. That was their first win over an AFC squad this year. Bengals' first 0-11 start in team history and the first since the '17 Browns to have that dubious distinction. That's 13 straight losses. Six straight games with scoring less than 17 points. Boyd 5 grabs for 101 yards and a TD. Jets keep it going. |
|||||||
12-01-19 | Packers -6 v. Giants | 31-13 | Win | 100 | 25 h 50 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units These 2 have some history, but those games seem to always be in Lambeau Field. Of course, Eli was front and center in those playoff classics, but not anymore. First 7-game losing streak since '14 for the G Men. That's 9+ losses for the 6th time in the last 7 seasons. Jones only 150 yards on 36 attempts while Barkley was limited to 59 yards rushing. Jones is the first player since 2003 with 10 lost fumbles in a season. Packers are 14-1 ATS in 2nd of 2 road games vs a division off a SU setback. |
|||||||
11-30-19 | BYU v. San Diego State +3 | 3-13 | Win | 100 | 80 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units - Unnoticed Aztecs are 8-3 SU, with 6, 4, & 3 point losses, ranking 3rd, 6th, & 8th in run, scoring, & total "D". BYU is 11-4 ATS on the road, but weak on both rushing "O" & "D". A mild take |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Penguins v. Blues -115 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Forwards David Perron (11 goals, 26 points) and Brayden Schenn (13, 24) each extended their point streaks to six games Friday and O’Reilly scored for the first time in nine contests. Walker had one hit in 10 minutes of playing time Friday while Derrick Pouliot (one shot, two hits, one block in 10:36) also made his season debut with fellow defensemen Carl Gunnarsson (illness) and Robert Bortuzzo (suspension) scratched. Jake Allen turned aside 31 shots for the victory at Dallas and No. 1 goalie Jordan Binnington (12-4-4, 2.27 GAA, .925 SP) is expected to tend the net Saturday. |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Colorado v. Utah -28 | Top | 15-45 | Win | 100 | 79 h 4 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Units NCAAF Game of the Week Buffs need this for bowl eligibility, so a decent play, right, especially when in off a 192-yard edge vs Washington? Hardly. The Utes are a marvel. Seven straight wins & covers, ranking 1st, 4th, 3rd in run, scoring, total "D". Huntley 5th in passing efficiency & host 6-0 ATS in CU games. |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Capitals -210 v. Red Wings | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Washington Capitals have answered a modest skid (3-2-2) with a sweep of the Sunshine State contingent to create momentum heading into their four-game road trip. The Capitals open that trek on Saturday against the ice-cold Detroit Red Wings, who have lost eight straight (0-6-2) while being outscored 19-2 in their last four contests. Washington recorded its NHL-best fifth multi-goal comeback on Friday after overcoming a two-goal deficit in the third period before defenseman Dmitry Orlov scored 3:03 into overtime of a 4-3 victory over Tampa Bay. Orlov's second goal of the season and first career overtime tally allowed the Capitals to tie Boston with league high-tying totals in wins (18) and points (41). The Red Wings reside at the other end of the spectrum with an NHL-worst seven wins and 17 points, and the club surrendered at least five goals for the 13th time in 28 games following Friday's a 6-1 shellacking by Philadelphia. |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Predators +108 v. Panthers | 0-3 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Predators seem to have pulled themselves out of a slump with points in four straight games (3-0-1) after Pekka Rinne earned his 350th career victory with a 3-0 shutout at Carolina on Friday. That means backup Juuse Saros will likely get the start Saturday for Nashville, which has allowed eight goals during its point streak after surrendering 30 in a 0-5-1 stretch that preceded it. |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Army -1 v. Marist | 66-64 | Win | 100 | 5 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Army is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400, 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss, and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. While Marist is 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 Saturday games, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record, and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 non-conference games. |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Hartford +15.5 v. Texas State | 55-69 | Win | 100 | 6 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Hartford is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss of more than 20 points and 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight up loss. While Texas State is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 Saturday games. |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Notre Dame -16 v. Stanford | 45-24 | Win | 100 | 75 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Normally a tight series, but Irish did it up right in last year's stomping. So why not a duplicate score, as ND has 120-24 point edge in its L3 games (23½, 24½, 12½ point covers, with 8 Book TD passes L2 weeks). Cards in off losing to Cal in L1:27, ranking #123 & #110 in run & total "O" |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Vanderbilt v. Tennessee -21 | Top | 10-28 | Loss | -110 | 75 h 28 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit SEC Play of the Day There was a time in the not too distant past, when the outcome of this contest pretty much depended on the Vols' bowl status. If Tennessee was already bowl bound, then the money went with the Commodores, as UT's urgency was already satisfied. That being the case, this one should be a Vandy call. Hardly, as the Vols are among the hottest teams in the land, completely turning their season around, turning from a 1-4 SU start (0-4 ATS), by winning 5 of 6 SU, covering ALL SIX (+86 points), including a 91-38 point edge in their last 3 home games. 'Dores the pits with current 1-10 spread run, with a 118-21 point deficit in their last 3 games. Momentum! |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Oregon State +20 v. Oregon | Top | 10-24 | Win | 100 | 75 h 23 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit PAC-12 Play of the Day Beavers evolving into a legitimate force, especially in the guest role, covering L4 as visitors by 23, 15, 23, & 9½ points. OU got just 2/2 from Herbert in killer loss at Arizona State. Herbert (30 touchdowns with 5 interceptions) vs Luton (28 touchdowns with only 3 interceptions) |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Miami-FL -8.5 v. Duke | 17-27 | Loss | -110 | 74 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Streaking 'Canes (3-0 ATS: +47 points) let walk-through win vs FIU turn into 30-24 nightmare (-26½ points). Quick chance to regroup, vs Imps: 5 straight losses (194-71 point deficit: -114 points ATS). Lay it |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Clemson -27 v. South Carolina | Top | 38-3 | Win | 100 | 72 h 39 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit ACC Game of the Week Obviously, we could fill this column with Tiger exploits, so why not. The Tigers are now on a 26-game winning streak (98-11 since '12), with a 950-237 point edge in their last 21 lined games, & 315-58 point advantage last 6 games. Lawrence, who wandered, unimpressively through the early part of the season, has moved up to 8th in the nation in passing efficiency (28 touchdowns with 7 interceptions) while Etienne is more than holding his own with amazing 8.7 yards per rush for the season. The 'Cocks rank 100th in scoring, & there is no loved lost in this instate rivalry.. |
|||||||
11-29-19 | Hawks v. Pacers -10 | 104-105 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 41 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Indiana Pacers have found the right balance on offense with multiple contributors helping lead the way, a major factor why they have won 11 of their past 14 games entering Friday’s home contest against the Atlanta Hawks. Wednesday’s 121-102 home triumph over Utah was just another example, as Domantas Sabonis and T.J. Warren each scored 23 points and Malcolm Brogdon sparked a fourth-quarter run in finishing with 22 points and eight assists. |
|||||||
11-29-19 | SE Missouri State v. Santa Clara -14 | 75-87 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units SE Missouri State is 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600, 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, and 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. While Santa Clara is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400, 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS win, and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games overall. |
|||||||
11-29-19 | Kings v. Sharks -145 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 4 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The San Jose Sharks recorded a 4-3 overtime victory against the Los Angeles Kings earlier in the week to improve to 9-1-0 in a 10-game stretch before falling flat in their last outing. The Sharks look to overcome their misstep and get back on the fast track Friday when they host the Kings. The Sharks better have more in the tank as they return from Thanksgiving with a back-to-back set against Los Angeles and Arizona (Saturday). |
|||||||
11-29-19 | Maple Leafs -153 v. Sabres | 4-6 | Loss | -153 | 4 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Toronto Maple Leafs have responded well to a change of coaches, rattling off three straight victories under Sheldon Keefe. After erupting for a season-high output in a 6-0 drubbing of Detroit, the Maple Leafs look to close out a six-game road trip on a high note when they visit the Buffalo Sabres on Friday in the front end of a home-and-home. Keefe replaced Mike Babcock after Toronto dropped six in a row (0-5-1) and joined Pat Quinn (1998-99) as the only coaches in franchise history to start their careers 3-0-0. |
|||||||
11-29-19 | Iowa -5.5 v. Nebraska | 27-24 | Loss | -109 | 67 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Hawkeye (-2½, -3½) routs in '16 & '17, but not in last year's 31-28 escape, as 8½ point favorites (268-140 rushing yard edge), on 41-yard field goal at the gun (led 28-13). NU on 0-7 & 1-9 runs (0-7 as a home dog). Iowa on a 15-7 run, & a superb 13-3 as road favorite. |
|||||||
11-29-19 | Rangers v. Bruins -208 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 1 h 14 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Boston Bruins have regained their footing following a wobbly one-week stretch earlier this month and have built a 10-point lead atop the Atlantic Division. The Bruins vie for their sixth consecutive victory overall and look to remain unbeaten in regulation at TD Garden when they open a five-game homestand Friday afternoon against the New York Rangers. Lundqvist is 1-2-0 with 12 goals allowed in his last three against Boston. |
|||||||
11-29-19 | Virginia Tech -2.5 v. Virginia | 30-39 | Loss | -112 | 65 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Six straight covers, by 128 points ATS, with accompanying 6-1 SU run (only setback: 21-20 loss at Notre Dame, as 17½ point dogs). No questioning ongoing success of the Hokies, who also have a 109-17 point edge in their last 3 games, which includes bowl-bound Wake & Pitt. In this series, Tech has won 19-of-20 meetings SU, which is all the more important, when taking into consideration, the minuscule line. The Cavs averaged only 113 rushing yards per game, before their decent overland display hosting Liberty. VT continues doing it. |
|||||||
11-29-19 | Bowling Green v. Buffalo -28.5 | 7-49 | Win | 100 | 65 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Bulls 5-0 vs Falcons, including last year's 44-14 caker (7-7 in 1st, 44-7 in 4th), with 30-6 first down & 332-58 rushing yard edges! Buffs 22-11 lately, 6-0 & 11-2 home, & 12-4 in MAC. Falcons on a 13-31 run, but 4-1 at Buffalo, & 7-0 in road closer. |
|||||||
11-28-19 | Saints -6.5 v. Falcons | 26-18 | Win | 100 | 49 h 0 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units A month ago, this one seemed like a 'cake-walk' for the Saints. However, 3 weeks ago the Falcons annihilated the Saints at home. Will the revenge hammer be dropped by the Saints or have the Falcons turned the corner? Saints can clinch the division with a win here. Ryan's 2 turnovers did the Falcons in last week in loss in Tampa. Now sitting at 3-8 which is their worst start since '13. Are 0-8 this season when allowing 24+ points. Note five games without a sack this year which is the worst in the league. |
|||||||
11-27-19 | Bulls -2.5 v. Warriors | 90-104 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 45 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Chicago was riding a high after Zach LaVine set a franchise record with 13 3-pointers and scored 49 points in a 116-115 win at Charlotte on Saturday but the good vibes did not continue as the team went 9-of-39 from 3-point range in a 117-94 home loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday. The Warriors are showing some fight, but it has yet to result in wins. |
|||||||
11-27-19 | Oilers +115 v. Avalanche | 1-4 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Colorado Avalanche are banged up and will have to do without forward Mikko Rantanen and defenseman Erik Johnson when they host the Edmonton Oilers Wednesday night. The Pacific Division-leading Oilers are coming off back-to-back wins following a 4-3 SO triumph at Arizona on Sunday. They have the top scorers in the NHL in Leon Draisaitl (48 points) and Connor McDavid (47) who put on a show when they beat Colorado 6-2 on Nov. 14. As for the Avs, they're coming off back-to-back defeats and I think they'll struggle to contain this powerful Oilers offense. |
|||||||
11-27-19 | Hawks v. Bucks -14.5 | 102-111 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Antetokounmpo ranks second in the NBA in scoring (31.1 points), fourth in rebounding (13.9) and 15th in assists (6.4), and recorded a triple-double (24 points, 19 rebounds, 15 assists) on Thursday against Portland. The Hawks continue to struggle, losing for the seventh straight time and 13th time in their past 15 games in Monday’s 125-113 home loss to Minnesota. Point guard Trae Young scored 37 points, but a 10-point halftime lead evaporated as Atlanta gave up 72 points in the second half. |
|||||||
11-27-19 | Oklahoma State +3 v. Syracuse | 86-72 | Win | 100 | 10 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units It will be a homecoming for Oklahoma State head coach Mike Boynton on Wednesday as the native of Brooklyn leads his undefeated Cowboys squad into the Barclays Center to face Syracuse in the NIT Season Tip-Off. Off to their best start in five years, the Cowboys used a strong defensive effort to hold off Western Michigan 70-63 on Friday and earn their fifth consecutive victory to open the season. Syracuse has lost two in a row to Oklahoma State with its last win coming in the second round of the 2003 NCAA Tournament. Carmelo Anthony scored 13 points for the Orange while Tony Allen had 10 for the Cowboys. |
|||||||
11-27-19 | Bruins -153 v. Senators | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 9 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Boston Bruins experienced a bit of a lull after a red-hot start and are beginning to warm up again with four consecutive victories as they complete a two-game trip with a matchup against the improving Ottawa Senators on Wednesday. The Bruins went 1-2-3 after beginning the season 11-1-2, but posted 21 goals during their current winning streak after rolling to an 8-1 victory at Montreal on Tuesday, and have won nine in a row against Ottawa. |
|||||||
11-26-19 | SIU-Edwardsville v. Pacific -11 | 50-78 | Win | 100 | 7 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units SIE Edwardsville is 7-20 ATS in their last 27 non-conference games, 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600, and 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. |
|||||||
11-26-19 | Wizards v. Nuggets -10 | 104-117 | Win | 100 | 3 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With a significant edge on defense, the Nuggets should be able to have their way with this team. Denver allows 101.7 ppg. The Wizards allow 120.3 ppg. Washington's opponents hit 48.3% of their field goals. Teams that face the Nuggets only hit 43.2% of theirs. The fact that the Wizards upset them here, the last time these teams met, figures to help the Nuggets remain fully focused. Consider laying the points. |
|||||||
11-26-19 | St Francis NY +12.5 v. Arkansas-Little Rock | 56-67 | Win | 100 | 4 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Arkansas LR is 7-20-2 ATS in their last 29 games following a ATS loss, 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record, and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. |
|||||||
11-26-19 | Ohio -27.5 v. Akron | 52-3 | Win | 100 | 2 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Zips are on an 0-11 ATS run, and 0-16 SU, with a 131-9 point deficit in their last 4 games. Ohio probably needs it for bowl eligibility. Zips just fade away. |
|||||||
11-25-19 | Sharks -107 v. Kings | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 4 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units San Jose has won two in a row and nine of ten and I think it'll keep the foot on the gas here as well. After an atrocious start, the Sharks have completely turned things around, especially on the defensive end (just two goals allowed the last two games.) LA won three in a row, but it enters having lost two of its last three. The Kings are one of the worst offensive teams in the league (26th) and I think they struggle to put the biscuit in the basket vs. this suddenly surging Sharks side. Clinchers: San Jose is 8-3 (+4.7 units) this year vs. clubs with losing records while LA is only 4-6 vs. its division thus far this season. |
|||||||
11-25-19 | Ravens -3 v. Rams | 45-6 | Win | 100 | 54 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Six-straight wins for the smoking Ravens. Averaging 34.3 points during streak. Longest winning streak since they won it all in 2000. Four more TD passes for Jackson to go along with another 86 yards rushing. After starting 1 for 6, he completed 13 in a row. His last 5 games, 13 total TDS & 0 picks. For the season, Jackson has 19 TD passes, 5 picks and 788 yards rushing. For the Rams, Gurley is in off a season-high 188 yards from scrimmage, & a TD, helping them keep pace in the NFC playoff race. Until things change, we aren't about to buck this scintillating outfit. Ravens the play |
|||||||
11-25-19 | Jazz +8 v. Bucks | 118-122 | Win | 100 | 2 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Jazz are on a nice run with three consecutive victories and seven in the last nine games following a 128-120 triumph over New Orleans on Saturday at home. Monday's visit to Milwaukee opens a five-game road trip for Utah, which handed Milwaukee its last loss Nov. 8 in Salt Lake City. |
|||||||
11-24-19 | Villanova -2 v. Baylor | 78-87 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Villanova is following a familiar script as the team is one win away from claiming its seventh straight in-season tournament. The No. 15 Wildcats aim to capture the championship at the Myrtle Beach Invitational when they wrap up their time in South Carolina with a matchup against No. 23 Baylor today. Villanova has knocked down a combined 28 3-pointers in wins over Middle Tennessee and Mississippi State since arriving in Myrtle Beach as it seems intent on shooting their way to another title. Robinson-Earl had a team-high 22 points with 9-of-12 shooting in Friday's victory over Mississippi State, while Saddiq Bey contributed 17 points and was 7-of-10 from the floor. |
|||||||
11-24-19 | Mavs +5.5 v. Rockets | 137-123 | Win | 100 | 5 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Houston features a pair of former league MVPs in James Harden and Russell Westbrook but the best player on the floor Sunday might be Dallas point guard Luka Doncic, who led his team to 40-plus routs in each of the last two games. The Mavericks are winners of four in a row and followed a 142-94 pasting of the Golden State Warriors with a 143-101 drubbing of the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday, polishing off a perfect homestand. Harden and Westbrook could not quite hang with another pair of superstars on Friday and watched Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and company come through down the stretch in a 122-119 setback at the Los Angeles Clippers. |
|||||||
11-24-19 | Seahawks +1.5 v. Eagles | 17-9 | Win | 100 | 23 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Streaky Eagles couldn't get it done in 17-10 loss to the Patriots, despite of the home field advantage, So, yet another host call for Philly, but vs the very best road team in the NFL, as the Seahawks are 5-0 SU in this year's guest shots. And as far as being pegged as the dog here, note that Seattle is on a 10-1-1 spread run in that capacity. Wilson? The absolute best in late game heroics, a step or two ahead of the oncoming Lamar Jackson. Eagles are hurting, managing just 10 pts in 2 of their last 4 games. Not sure who should be the favorite. |
|||||||
11-24-19 | Bucs v. Falcons -3.5 | 35-22 | Loss | -109 | 23 h 60 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Bucs have lost 5 of 6 and 4 more picks for Jameis in that home loss to the Saints. Tampa ran the ball just eight times for 36 yards. Time of possession deficit of 37:00-23:00. Falcons' D & special teams stepped up big time with 5 sacks, 4 picks & a 78 yard punt return for a TD in Carolina. Second straight dominant defensive performance for the Falcons. Outscored NO and Carolina 55-12 last 2 wks while recording 11 sacks. Ryan passed Warren Moon for 10th on all-time pass yards list (49,325). Ridley - 8 catches for 143 yards & one TD. They are 2-0 in division this season |
|||||||
11-24-19 | Steelers -6 v. Bengals | 16-10 | Push | 0 | 23 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Four picks & key injuries to Connor & Smith-Schuster did the red-hot Steelers in on Thursday night. However, the status of QB Rudolph is the big question after taking a helmet to his bare head by Garrett 9 weeks after that vicious helmet-to-helmet hit he took vs Seattle by Earl Thomas that left him unconscious before he hit the ground. What do the Broncos and Bengals have in common? They are the only teams that haven't scored 25+ points in a game this season. Fifth straight game with less than 17 points, & are 0-10 for the first time since '93. Twelve straight losses ties the franchise record. |
|||||||
11-24-19 | Dolphins +12 v. Browns | 24-41 | Loss | -130 | 23 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Two-game winning streak over for Miami. It was fun while it lasted. 7th double-digit loss this season. 2-8 is their worst start since '07. D allowed points on first four possessions. Parker 7 grabs for 135 yards. Back to back wins for the Browns behind Baker's 3 TDs vs bitter rival Steelers. They are 2-0 in the division. However, the #1 story coming out of that game is Myles Garrett's status for rest of the season after what he did to Rudolph. Inexcusable and barbaric to say the least. Another 92 yards rushing puts Chubb over 1,000 total yards. Browns 1-9 ATS off a SU DD win |
|||||||
11-23-19 | Boise State -7.5 v. Utah State | 56-21 | Win | 100 | 97 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Year-after-year, the Broncs are among the elite, with double digit wins a given. This time around, they had to say good-bye to their brilliant QB Rypien, who set numerous school records. His departure meant first string playing time for Bachmeier, who was a decent replacement. What happens? He goes out with a shoulder injury. But Henderson picks up the load. Check 291 passing yards & 3 touchdowns with 1 interception in last week's win over NewMexico. Aggies were killed by attrition, losing 9 offensive starters, with QB Love on the injury check list. TD line extremely enticing |
|||||||
11-23-19 | Utah -22 v. Arizona | Top | 35-7 | Win | 100 | 97 h 7 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit Conference Game of the Week Five straight losses for 'Cats, both SU & ATS, while allowing 44.6 points per game, & ranking 126th in total "D". However, they rank 17th in total "O". We've missed the Utes as a high choice for the last time. Stand at 9-1 SU & 6th in the polls, while ranking 1st, 4th, 3rd in run, scoring, & total "D" |
|||||||
11-23-19 | Pelicans +7.5 v. Jazz | 120-128 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New Orleans Pelicans are in search of their fourth straight victory when they visit the Utah Jazz today. New Orleans sputtered out of the gate with just three victories in its first 12 games before responding with three wins by an average of 7.3 points. The winning streak comes at a time when rookie forward Zion Williamson is nearing a return from preseason knee surgery. |

11-23-19 | Tennessee +4 v. Missouri | 24-20 | Win | 100 | 94 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The drop in production of a Tiger "O" has been astounding. The loss of Clemson transfer QB Bryant has triggered their fall, as they've come from scoring 33+ points in 20-of-26 games to managing just 14, 7, 0, & 6 points in their last 4 outings, all of which were spread losses, by the way. The Vols, on the other hand, have turned things completely around. Opened at 0-4 ATS, & 20-5 SU, they're now on a 5-0 spread run, as well as on a 4-1 SU run. Stats may not look all that pretty, but learning how to win has been ingrained in them, Not about to get off this train. |

Rating: 2 Units The Indiana Pacers are winners of eight of their last 11 games and are coming off a dominating performance at Brooklyn on Wednesday in a 115-86 victory.

Indiana could not keep pace at Houston and was knocked off at home by the Milwaukee Bucks before stepping up in Brooklyn behind career highs of 24 points and 13 assists from shooting guard Aaron Holiday, who was pressed into point guard duties due to injuries to Malcolm Brogdon and T.J. McConnell. |

11-23-19 | Wild v. Bruins -209 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Boston Bruins are the lone NHL club that has yet to lose in regulation at home while the Minnesota Wild are the only team in the league with 10 regulation defeats away from home. Judging by those numbers, the Bruins have to like their chances of extending their 12-game point streak at TD Garden when they host the Wild tonight. The Bruins improved to 8-0-4 at home with a 3-2 victory over Buffalo on Thursday night and also have history on their side against Minnesota, winning the past four meetings and posting a pair of shutouts last season. The Wild already have played a league-high 14 games away from home and won only four times (4-10-0) and now have to play their next three on the road. |

Rating: 3 Units Don't look now, but the unnoticed Tigers hold the #18 ranking in this week's polls, as well they should, as they are just a field goal from a perfect record, with their only blip a 2-point loss at Temple, in a game in which they turned it over FOUR times, & we certainly don't have to explain the importance of that. QB White ranks 7th in the land in passing efficiency (28 touchdowns with 5 interceptions), with 5 TDs in last week's 45-17 rout of Houston, after trailing, 17-7. Bulls in off blowing a 10-point 4th quarter lead to Houston, losing in final 0:00, ranking 106th in total offense. Tigers! |
