12-11-20 | Villanova v. Georgetown +11.5 | 76-63 | Loss | -105 | 17 h 9 m | Show | |
Villanova at Georgetown 7:00 ET Hoyas (+) over Wildcats- It has been 39 years since these two met on the Georgetown campus as it has always been such a big event it would be played in the city. There is no need to play aware but a gym with fans not allowed to attend so, so much for home court advantage. Despite the loss Villanova has been wildcats on the road 10-2-1 ATS but the home team is 5-0 in the last five meetings. The Hoyas have been up to the task as they play 'up' to their competition as they are 7-2-1 ATS at home against teams with winning records over 60%. Take GEORGETOWN! |

12-11-20 | St. John's v. Seton Hall -5.5 | 68-77 | Win | 100 | 15 h 42 m | Show | |
St. John's at Seton Hall 4:30 ET Pirates (-) over Red Breeze- St. John's enters this Big East contest 5-1 while the hosting Pirates are 3-3 but have played much tougher competition. Seton Hall was beaten by Louisville, Rhode Island and Oregon with a win over Penn State. It's been a long time since the 'Storm' has been in contention in the Big East and they are 5-11-1 ATS when playing against teams with winning home records, while the home team is 22-8 ATS in the last 30 meetings. Number might seem a bit high but it is probably for good reason. Take SETON HALL! |
|||||||
12-10-20 | Pittsburgh v. Georgia Tech +7 | 34-20 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 3 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh at Georgia Tech 7:00 ET Yellow Jackets (+) over Panthers- Pitt has had the best of this series of late as they have won four of the last five including last year's 20-10 win in Atlanta but are off a drubbing by No. 4 Clemson two weeks ago 52-17 and they are 4-0 ATS after a bye week. Georgia Tech meanwhile, was beaten by NC State 23-13 and fell to 3-6 on the season. Yellow Jackets are 5-2 ATS after a loss and the underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Final chance for the Panthers to finish win a winning record and they only have to do it by less than a touchdown. Take GEORGIA TECH! |
|||||||
12-09-20 | Indiana +3.5 v. Florida State | 67-69 | Win | 100 | 7 h 31 m | Show | |
Indiana at Florida State 7:25 ET Hoosiers (+) over Seminoles- The Hoosiers opened the season with a pair of impressive 30 and 21 points wins and then ran into Texas and were blown out by 22 points. But, they rebounded after their loss the following contest taking down Stanford 70-63 and showing character as a unit. No. 20 Florida State is 1-0 with an 86-58 rout of North Florida 86-58 as the team that finished 26-5 last season adjusts to three new starters with two going No. 4 and 11 in the NBA draft. With too many newcomers and only one game under their belts the Seminoles are at a disadvantage. Take INDIANA! |
|||||||
12-09-20 | Furman +4 v. Cincinnati | 73-78 | Loss | -108 | 5 h 49 m | Show | |
Furman at Cincinnati 5:00 ET Paladins (+) over Bearcats- Well, after winning their first four games at home by 33, 28, 40 and 24 points Furman will be up against some real competition at Cincinnati and they are looking to prove that they are up to the task. The Bearcats fell short against rival Xavier as they faltered down the stretch Sunday dropping to 1-1 and will be playing their third straight home game. Cincy is 1-9 ATS in their last nine overall and 17-36 in their last 53 games overall. The Paladins are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games and 21-9-1 ATS after winning by 20 or more points... Take FURMAN! |
|||||||
12-08-20 | Penn State +5.5 v. Virginia Tech | 75-55 | Win | 100 | 8 h 27 m | Show | |
Penn State at Virginia Tech 9:00 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Hokies- No. 19 Virginia Tech (45-0) already has some impressive victories including a 81-73 OT win over No. 3 Villanova while Penn State (2-1) was on their way to their third straight home win leading Seton Hall 29-10 and then dropped the game in overtime after leading for 39 minutes and 32 seconds (really) and led by eight with two minutes to go. Hokies with try and keep the tempo down while State will look to run the floor. This is the first road game for the Lions but they will play to the final buzzer tonight. Take PENN STATE! |
|||||||
12-08-20 | Cowboys +9.5 v. Ravens | 17-34 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 36 m | Show | |
Dallas at Baltimore 8:00 ET Cowboys (+) over Ravens- The Ravens who have had to deal with the virus have dropped three straight and 4-of-5 while Dallas has lost 5-of-6 and 7-of-9. This game on paper does not set up well for the Cowboys who are dead last in NFL rushing defense while the Ravens are No. 2 in rushing averaging 158 YPG as well as last in points allowed with 32.6. Part of Big 'D's problem is that are also last in take-aways in the season with a league low of just nine also allowing 24 TD passes with just 4 Int's. Having played last on Thanksgiving (if you can call that 'playing') and have had 12-days to prepare and they need it. Take DALLAS! |
|||||||
12-08-20 | Ohio State v. Notre Dame +6 | Top | 90-85 | Win | 100 | 7 h 58 m | Show |
Ohio State at Notre Dame 7:30 ET Fighting Irish (+) over Buckeyes- No. 23 Ohio State (3-0) has had the pleasure of beating up on three clubs at home where they were favored by a combined 71.5-points and they won all three by 71-points going 2-1 ATS. For Notre Dame it hasn't been so nice as they opened against No. 8 Michigan State and lost by 10 and then defeated Detroit-Mercy by eight and are 0-2. Both teams have four starters averaging double-digits with Prentiss Hubb of the Fighting Irish leading all scores with 23-ppg. Each club is dealing with injuries and the 'Shamrockers' are down to eight scholarship players. Buckeyes playing their first game on the road and against quality competition may well struggle here. You can only play with five at a time anyway...take NOTRE DAME! |
|||||||
12-08-20 | Creighton +4 v. Kansas | 72-73 | Win | 100 | 4 h 26 m | Show | |
Creighton at Kansas 5:00 ET BlueJays (+) over Jayhawks- No. 7 Creighton (3-0) travels to Lawrence to takes on No. 5 Kansas (4-1) is what should be a well played well coached college basketball games and well worth watching. The Bluejays were favored by 81.5-points and played 8-points under the 'number' going 1-2 ATS. This being Creighton first road game may raise some concern but there are no fans in attendance and this is a 'national' game for them with more significance and they are 7-1 ATS last-8 against teams winning records over .600. Take CREIGHTON! |
|||||||
12-07-20 | Bills v. 49ers +1 | Top | 34-24 | Loss | -118 | 10 h 30 m | Show |
Buffalo vs San Francisco (at Glendale, AZ) 49ers over Bills- As most are aware this game has been shifted to Arizona as COVID has forced the move from California. Buffalo has won four of five with the lone loss coming on this field against the Cardinals when a 'Hail-Mary' pass handed them their only defeat. The Bills who were the same 8-3 a year ago went 2-3 their final five games while many have to be reminded that the 49ers were in the Super Bowl last season. SF is getting healthy as players return and the Bills face the undefeated (as of now) Steelers next week. That SAN FRANCISCO! |
|||||||
12-06-20 | Seton Hall +2.5 v. Penn State | Top | 98-92 | Win | 100 | 6 h 54 m | Show |
Seton Hall at Penn State 8:00 ET Pirates (+) over Nittany Lions- After opening with a 71-70 loss at Louisville, Seton Hall bounced back to win their first of the season against Rick Pitino and Iona but have dropped a pair since losing bat Rhode Island and to No. 21 Oregon in Omaha, NE. But, the Pirates are 51-25 ATS in their last 76 games as road underdogs while Penn State is 1-7 ATS in their last eight games overall and 1-4 ATS in their last five home games and as favorites. Take SETON HALL! |
|||||||
12-06-20 | Washington State v. USC -11 | 13-38 | Win | 100 | 4 h 47 m | Show | |
Washington State at USC 7:30 ET Trojans (-) over Cougars- The way things are playing out Southern Cal looks like the best thing the Pac-12 has to offer as they enter with two wins as heavy favorites who were lucky to survive. Washington State is 1-1 having defeated Oregon State and Losing to Oregon and have allowed 320 yards a game passing. Trojans to exploit that defense (or lack of). Take USC! |
|||||||
12-06-20 | Kentucky v. Georgia Tech +6.5 | 62-79 | Win | 100 | 3 h 55 m | Show | |
Kentucky at Georgia Tech 5:00 ET Yellow Jackets (+) over Wildcats- Both of these clubs are off to rocky starts as No. 10 Kentucky has dropped 2-of-3 while Georgia Tech is still looking for their first victory after losing a pair. The Wildcats at least can claim they were beaten by big name schools in Kansas and Richmond whereas the Yellow Jackets were beaten by Georgia State and Mercer as favorites. Despite their two losses GT is a high scoring group averaging 96.5 points in their losses while the Cats ranked No. 203 averaging just 69 points. Take the points...take GEORGIA TECH! |
|||||||
12-06-20 | Browns +5 v. Titans | Top | 41-35 | Win | 100 | 12 h 12 m | Show |
Cleveland at Tennessee 1:00 ET Browns (+) over Titans- Very sneaky...watch out for this one. I imagine most will see the Titans as very inviting side with their version of Jim Brown, Derek Henry running with authority over and through defensive backs. Both clubs are 8-3 but appear different in the public eye. This pair are 1 and 2 running the ball with the Browns at 161 rypg and the Titans 158 rypg with Cleveland's passing game lame at No.30 while Tannehill throws for just 227. Titans have turned the ball over just five times a league low but.. It's CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
12-06-20 | Saints v. Falcons +3 | 21-16 | Loss | -117 | 12 h 2 m | Show | |
New Orleans at Atlanta 1:00 ET Falcons (+) over Saints- The way I see it Saints 'backers' are loving it when Brees sits! Last year it was Bridgewater going 6-0 ATS and even when Hill gets the start they seem to dominate, especially of late on defense. N.O. has surrendered just 3, 13, 9, and 3 points in their last four games and have the No. 1 defense at 285 ypg and No. 2 Rush 'D' at 76.6 ypg. Atlanta rises as home dogs going 11-4 ATS L-15 and with Raheem Morris at the helm they have won 3 of 4 and 4 of 6 overall. Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
12-06-20 | Colts v. Texans +3.5 | 26-20 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 48 m | Show | |
Indianapolis at Houston 1:00 ET Texans (+) over Colts- How 'bout them inconsistent Colts...they just can seem to string together wins before they throw in an uninspired performance like refusing to step in front of Derek Henry last week as the Titans ran over Indianapolis for 229 yards. Indy is 7-0-1 ATS in the last eight meetings in Houston and 4-0 ATS L-4. While Philip Rivers' TD/Int ratio always an issue it's 16/9 and he still is venerable to the pick-6. Houston defense (if you can call it that) is Ranked No. 30 allowing 410 yards a game and No. 31 in rushing 'D' (154 ypg) and their rushing 'O' (84 ypg) is No.31. Still, the Texans since O'Brien was jettisoned have a winning attitude and record 4-3. The road team is 9-2-2 L-13 dog is 7-3-2 ATS in series. Take the TEXANS! |
|||||||
12-06-20 | Raiders v. Jets +7.5 | 31-28 | Win | 100 | 12 h 39 m | Show | |
Las Vegas at New York Jets 1:00 ET Jets (+) over Raiders- Sure, I have become a Raiders fan but that doesn't mean I will play against my pocketbook. Coach Gruden has this team believing that they can win and they can (they beat KC) but they are not ready yet. Injuries and the virus have hurt chemistry and they might be the only team the Jets can beat...nah! Can't see Vegas not showing up after last weeks performance (43-6) at Atlanta but being they best beware as the Jets become desperate to land a win. Take NY JETS! |
|||||||
12-05-20 | Oregon State v. Utah -11 | 24-30 | Loss | -105 | 23 h 59 m | Show | |
Oregon State at Utah 10:30 ET Utes (-) over Beavers- Here it is, an 0-2 team (Utah) is a double-digit favorite against a team that just defeated their arch rivals in the closing seconds. Oregon State just defeated Oregon for just the second time in 13 years 41-38 scoring with :33 left and have been celebrating every since. Utah meanwhile was blowing a 21-0 lead over Washington after having dropped their opener to USC 33-17. South Carolina graduate transfer Jake Bentley leads the Utes offense and they should be in command against this No. 94th ranked defense allowing 443 ypg. Beavers should get trapped but the Utes here...Take UTAH! |
|||||||
12-05-20 | Oregon v. California +9 | Top | 17-21 | Win | 100 | 20 h 35 m | Show |
Oregon at California 7:00 ET Golden Bears (+) over Beavers- Both clubs off losses to rivals and yet it probably hurts Oregon more than it does California. True that the Golden Bears (0-3) have yet to win but the Ducks loss surely knocks them and the Pac-12 out of any shot for the FBS. Ducks have won the last three and 10 of the last 11 meetings with the bears lone win at home in 2016. Hey, Herbert is gone and the Ducks spend more time on the ground where Bears have a chance to growl. Cal out-gained Stanford by a 150 yards on the ground while Oregon's putrid defense gives up 457 YPG, 30-points per and have only two forced turnovers while surrendering five. Take CALIFORNIA! |
|||||||
12-05-20 | Indiana v. Wisconsin -13 | 14-6 | Loss | -105 | 16 h 8 m | Show | |
Indiana at Wisconsin 3:30 ET Badgers (-) over Hoosiers- They have had their run but the engine main cog has a bad wheel and the Hoosiers feel good season will close on a sad note starting here. Indiana lost their QB Michael Penix Jr. for the year and was the glue on offense. But it's the Hoosiers defense leads the nation in take-a-ways with 18 including 16 int's. Wisconsin is looking to rebound after their loss to Northwestern two weeks ago after a bye last week due to COVID, whenever they get to play they are going to punish their opponent and Indiana is the perfect sacrificial lamb. With the No. 1 defense allowing just 233 ypg they Badgers will dominate the Hoosiers w/o their QB will have difficulty moving the ball. Take BADGERS! |
|||||||
12-05-20 | Nebraska +2 v. Purdue | 37-27 | Win | 100 | 14 h 50 m | Show | |
Nebraska at Purdue 12:00 Noon ET Cornhuskers (+) over Boilermakers- Despite their 1-4 record the Cornhuskers have been good to 'us' as we have collected on both their ATS wins and we will again here. Purdue opened the season with a upset win over Iowa although the Hawkeyes out-gained the Boilermakers by a 100 yards and they have been out-gained by every opponent every at Minnesota where they lost anyway. The underdog is 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take NEBRASKA! |
|||||||
12-05-20 | Oklahoma State v. TCU +2.5 | 22-29 | Win | 100 | 14 h 49 m | Show | |
Oklahoma State at T.C.U. 12:00 Noon ET Horned Frogs (+) over Cowboys- Okay State is off a 50-44 OT win over Texas Tech where substitute Dezmond Jackson ran for 235 yards replacing All-American Chuba Hubbard who was out. The funny thing about is was they the Cowboys were out-gained by the Red Raiders by 100 yards and are now 0-4 ATS in their last four. TCU has turned things around after a slow start having won 3-of-4 and have a few trends working in their favor. The home team is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings and the underdogs is 5-0 ATS. But, they are also just 9-24 ATS in their last 33 home games overall. Take HORNED FROGS! |
|||||||
12-05-20 | Penn State -11.5 v. Rutgers | 23-7 | Win | 100 | 14 h 49 m | Show | |
Penn State at Rutgers 12:00 Noon ET Nittany Lions (-) over Scarlet Knights- Wow, what a difference a coach can make. When Greg Schiano left the Scarlet Knights after a 10-year run going 68-67 winning bowl games in five of six seasons. Rutgers is was 7-45 in Big Ten play since 2014 and had lost 21 straight conference games entering the season. Under Schiano they have two and blew double-digit leads in two others. Starting with school worst 0-5 Penn State posted their first win last week at Michigan 27-17 their season high in points since their OT opener at Indiana. Despite their record the Lions are in a much higher class. Take PENN STATE! |
|||||||
12-04-20 | Wisconsin -3.5 v. Marquette | Top | 65-67 | Loss | -106 | 21 h 7 m | Show |
Wisconsin at Marquette 7:00 ET Badgers (-) over Golden Eagles- Wisconsin (3-0) is a deep veteran team that was making a run when the season closed down last March winning their final eight and have started with three straight this season. Marquette (2-1) fell short against Oklahoma State Tuesday as they weren't able to crack the Cowboys zone shooting just 8-foe-31 in the second half. If they think OK St can play defense wait until they get a load of the Badgers. Both coaches preach defense first so this should a low scoring game with the Badgers controlling the tempo. Take WISCONSIN! |
|||||||
12-02-20 | Illinois +5 v. Baylor | Top | 69-82 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 42 m | Show |
Illinois vs Baylor 10:00 ET Illini (+) over Bears- Oh my...this is one to watch! No. 2 Baylor (2-0) is to meet No. 1 Gonzaga on Saturday in Indianapolis but must contend with No. 5 Illinois today and they are beasts on both ends of the floor. Baylor of course is averaging 99 points per game and the Illini counter with 98.7 ppg but the difference comes at the other end of the floor where the Bears allow 67 ppg Illinois defense is allowing 57.5 ppg. They also are No. 2 in the nation in rebounds with 50.7! Take ILLINOIS! |
|||||||
12-02-20 | Oregon v. Missouri +4 | 75-83 | Win | 100 | 9 h 41 m | Show | |
Missouri vs Oregon 9:00 ET Tigers (+) over Ducks- This one just looks a bit out of whack as No. 20 ranked Oregon (0-0) opened a meager 4-point favorite over unranked Missouri (1-0) who has an impressive 91-64 romp over oral Roberts. The Ducks closed the 2019-20 season strong going 6-1 SU and ATS finishing with four straight wins before COVID changed everything. This game is in Omaha and the trip will be somewhat easier for the Tigers and this one should go down to the final horn. Take MISSOURI! |
|||||||
12-02-20 | West Virginia +9 v. Gonzaga | 82-87 | Win | 100 | 7 h 44 m | Show | |
West Virginia vs Gonzaga 7:00 ET Mountaineers (+) over Bulldogs- No. 1 Gonzaga (2-0) opens the Jimmy V Classic against No. 16 West Virginia (3-0) in Indianapolis replacing Tennessee who cancelled because of COVID-19. There are questions now surrounding the virus and may be sidelined. I like the Mountaineers here mostly because Bob Huggins made the call and requested the chance to play the nation's top ranked team. The Bulldogs average 96 points per game a and it is Huggins stye to slow the opposition down and knock them off their tempo. In 2017 Sweet-16 Gonzaga defeated the Mountaineers 61-58 reaching the Final game. This time that will be good enough. Take WEST VIRGINIA! |
|||||||
11-30-20 | Seahawks v. Eagles +6.5 | Top | 23-17 | Win | 100 | 24 h 53 m | Show |
Seattle at Philadelphia 8:15 ET Eagles (+) over Seahawks- These two met at Philadelphia in the playoffs and Seattle posted a 17-9 victory their second of the season over Philly and by the same score 17-9. The Eagles had struggled most of the year and then closed with a flurry before the loss to end their season. In 2020 it has been even worse for them as Carson Wentz has been under duress the entire season having been sacked 40 times with 18 turnovers and a 73.3 passer rating. It's the same old story for the Seahawks plenty of offense with 400 yards per game, but their defense hasn't improved and is dead last allowing 435 yard per game. The head-to-head games are all Seattle as they are 6-0 ATS in the past six meetings including 5-0 ATS in Philadelphia. Both clubs are in second place with only the Eagles assured to move into first with a victory. Take the EAGLES! |
|||||||
11-30-20 | Indiana v. Providence +1.5 | 79-58 | Loss | -115 | 16 h 41 m | Show | |
Indiana vs Providence 2:30 ET Friars (+) over Hoosiers- This is the 'Maui Invitational' and it is being played in Asheville, N.C. as both clubs enter 1-0 after squashing inferior opponents. Indiana took Tennessee Tech by 30-points in and 89-59 beatdown while Providence won by 41 points over hapless Fairfield 97-56. The Hoosiers have been inconsistent under Archie Miller as they are just 3-8 ATS after an ATS win while the Friars under coach Ed Cooley are 6-0 ATS in their last six games overall. Both coaches stress defense first but will run guards based offense. Instinct directs me to the Friars...Take PROVIDENCE! |
|||||||
11-29-20 | Chiefs v. Bucs +3.5 | Top | 27-24 | Win | 100 | 20 h 49 m | Show |
Kansas City at Tampa Bay 4:25 ET Buccaneers (+) over Chiefs- Oh man is this it? Is this where we actually see the 'changing of the guard' as Patrick Mahomes brings his 9-1 Chiefs into Tampa Bay where quarterback Tom Brady is starting to show some wear and tear and Kansas City has the NFL's No. 2 offense averaging 414 yards per game while the Buc's defense has been consistent the past few seasons and is No. 6 over and No. 1 against the run for the second straight season. The Chiefs may not even be concerned withy that as they are the leagues No. 1 passing teams at 300 yards per games and Mahomes has 27 TD passes with just a pair of interceptions. Tampa Bay meanwhile has had two clunkers in their last three games as Brady's efficiency has dropped Matt Patricia sleepless. Kansas City garnered a bit revenge last week at las Vegas against the Raiders who had inflicted the their only loss in early October and they have won their last five since. There are a few things that have me backing Tampa here. To start with Tom Brady is a prideful man and I have to believe he will atone for his indiscretions in recent losses and the Buccaneers need to make a statement here otherwise they fall to 7-5 and into also-ran territory. Take TAMPA BAY! |
|||||||
11-29-20 | Raiders v. Falcons +3 | 6-43 | Win | 103 | 16 h 20 m | Show | |
Las Vegas at Atlanta 1:00 ET Falcons (+) over Raiders- Although the Raiders lost to Kansas City Sunday they gained a number of admirers because let's face it John Gruden has them playing good football. Gone (for the most part) are the silly penalties and they are protecting the ball better now than anytime since his 10-year tenure started. What's to say about Atlanta...they are 3-7 and coming off a beatdown by New Orleans where they failed to score a touchdown and were dominated after taking a 9-3 lead late in the second period. QB Matt Ryan who has thrown for 2,978 yards this season but was sacked eight times and took 11 hits against the Saints. The issue here is if Gruden can get his guys 'up' on the road after an emotional last minute loss to the Chiefs I can see the Raiders being flat but they do have the better coaching. I was looking for a trend to throw at you and there's ones on Vegas were really good, but I found this about the Falcons, they are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 as an underdog. That's it! Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
11-29-20 | Cardinals v. Patriots +2 | 17-20 | Win | 100 | 16 h 13 m | Show | |
Arizona at New England 1:00 ET Patriots (+) over Cardinals- Oh boy, do I believe we have a winner here...it just figures. New England goes to Houston as a small favorite and lose outright (they never should have been favored anyway) and now they return home and are made the same size underdog to Arizona. Oh yeah big and bad Arizona that is the 'public's darlings' and with good cause because Kyler Murray my end being the best of his kind ) a run first QB, ala Cam Newton, Jackson, Watson none of whom throw the ball as well as Murray. But, this is his first trip to Boston and first time up against Bill Belichick and they both mean something. What I can't be sure. I LOVE the home team here. Take NEW ENGLAND! |

11-29-20 | Giants v. Bengals +6.5 | 19-17 | Win | 100 | 16 h 8 m | Show | |
N.Y. Giants at Cincinnati 1:00 ET Bengals (+) over Giants- Of course the storyline here first is the injury to Joe Burrow and the rookie sensation is done for 9-12 months. Okay, that's fine but the Bengals still are just 2-7-1 under his leadership, so here steps Brandon Allen to run the show and although he's now an accomplished starter he has had some experience and played for Bengals coach Zac Taylor with the Rams in 2017 and 2018. New York believe it or now can move into first place with a win here and the are are perfect 5-0 ATS on the road this season. But, now they are the favorites and although they probably have played the best football in their division they have not been favorites on the road. Cats have dropped last two and should rally the troops for this one. Take CINCINNATI! |
|||||||
11-29-20 | Titans v. Colts -3 | 45-26 | Loss | -109 | 16 h 58 m | Show | |
Tennessee at Indianapolis 1:00 ET Colts (+) over Titans- When you look at these two teams they compare like a mirror on offense but when it comes to the other side of the ball the Titans are lacking, Indianapolis who pounded Tennessee on a Thursday night three weeks ago in their own backyard will now the Colts will have all those cardboard cutouts giving them the silent treatment. Indy has the No. 2 rated defense allowing 298 yards per game while the Titans defense surrenders 389 yards per. Colts are 6-2 ATS as home favorites and even better they are 14-5 ATS against teams with winning records meaning they come to play against the better competition. Take INDIANAPOLIS! |

11-28-20 | Nevada v. Hawaii +7.5 | 21-24 | Win | 100 | 25 h 6 m | Show | |
Nevada at Hawaii 11:00 ET Rainbow Warriors (+) over Wolf Pack- Nevada stands at 5-0 after their win over San Diego State where they gave up 252 yards in the first half and shut down the Aztecs in the 2nd half allowing them to just 41 yards and holding State to a season low in offense. Hawaii at 2-3 has the talent to qualify for a bowl bid and are coming off a pair of losses to San Diego State and Boise State who had to scramble to get bye the Warriors. Hawaii coach Todd Graham loves to ambush visitors from the mainland as he has his Rainbows 22-4 ATS against teams off a SU and ATS win as well as 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings on the island. Take HAWAII! |

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Kansas City at L.V. Raiders 8:20 ET Raiders (+) over Chiefs- The NFL has called put nine Las Vegas players on the reserve/COVID list and they were not able meet or practice until Friday. Coach John Gruden says that they will 'be ready for the game on Sunday. Kansas City may have revenge on their minds as it was the Raiders that scarred their undefeated season a game where LV's defense played a strong second half. The storyline behind the Chiefs is Andy Reid's record after a bye week, he is 18-3 SU and KC is 12-5 ATS at Raiders last 17 meetings. But, Vegas well coached and 5-0 ATS vs the AFC West L-5. Take LAS VEGAS! |

11-22-20 | Dolphins v. Broncos +3.5 | 13-20 | Win | 100 | 17 h 46 m | Show | |
Miami at Denver 4:05 ET Broncos (+) over Dolphins- Miami certainly has their 'mojo' working double time as they just impose their defensive will on any and all opponents, just ask the Niners, Rams, Cardinals and Chargers all who out gained the Dolphins only to lose on the scoreboard. The Dolphins have turned to Tua Tagovailoa and they are 3-0 under his leadership as he maintains a controlled offense. Denver has turned to a young QB as well with Drew Lock who threw four Int's against the Raiders last week is nursing sore ribs and may be replaced by Brett Rypien has one win under his belt this season in a pair of start's. Regardless of who is under center for the Broncos they are a winner here today. Miami is 29thy in total offense with 319 yrg and the Mile High guys are 6-1 ATS after an ATS loss. Take DENVER! |

New England at Houston 1:00 ET Texans (+) over Patriots- This is it, this is the one...if it is to win, I believe that business must done! New England despite all their problems still conduct themselves and play like professionals while the 'troubles' surrounding this Houston team goes deeper than we will ever realize. The Patriots rose up for us last Sunday taking down the Ravens outright and now take to the road facing a team in total turmoil that is 2-7 with a pair of wins over Jacksonville who has just one victory themselves. In days gone by I would have no difficulty using the Texans as a best bet...but not on top today. Pats should stumble and the Texans should take advantage...'And thine shall be done.' Take HOUSTON! |

11-21-20 | Oklahoma State +7 v. Oklahoma | 13-41 | Loss | -105 | 29 h 8 m | Show | |
Oklahoma State at Oklahoma 7:30 ET Cowboys (+) over Sooners- For a rivalry game and a game between two evenly ranked teams this line seems a bit generous to me. No. 17 Oklahoma is a 7-point favorite against a team ranked higher at No. 14 in Oklahoma State. Not only a pair of Oklahoma's face-off but a pair of Spencer's quarterbacking for each side. But, it's not offenses that will determine this games winner it will be their defenses and State's is much superior. The Cowboys allow just 315 yards a game while the Sooners surrender 515 yards per game...a HUGE difference. Note that the road team is 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings and State is 12-4 ATS against teams with winning records and 18-6 ATS in their last 24 games as underdogs. Take OKLAHOMA STATE! |

11-21-20 | Wisconsin v. Northwestern +7.5 | 7-17 | Win | 100 | 25 h 2 m | Show | |
Wisconsin at Northwestern 3:30 ET Wildcats (+) over Badgers- Oh man, if you like to gamble you will be taking one here playing against the red-hot and dominating Badgers. Granted Northwestern is 4-0 but not hardly as impressive as Wisconsin has been destroying teams like Michigan 49-11 and Illinois to open the season 45-7. Their No.1 ranked defense has been leading the way and freshman QB Graham Mertz has been great and errorless in his two game. The Wildcats will counter with graduate transfer Peyton Ramsey who had three TD passes against Purdue and the nCats defense isn't so bad itself ranked No. 10 at 302 yards surrendered per game. The Wildcats are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and get it done again here today. Take NORTHWESTERN! |

Iowa at Penn State 3:30 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Hawkeyes- It has been 19 years since Penn State started a season 0-4 and they finished 5-6 that season winning five of their last seven. Not only are the Nittany Lions 0-4 SU they are also 0-4 ATS and the odd fact is that they out-gained all opponents except for Ohio State as penalties, missed field goals and turnovers a key moments have doomed their season. Penn State has won the last SIX meetings and are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games as underdogs and are 8-3 ATS after a straight-up loss. Iowa is 2-5 ATS after an ATS win and 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games on grass and only 1-3-1 ATS in the last five conference games. Take PENN STATE! |

Cincinnati at Central Florida 3:30 ET Knights (+) over Bearcats- What a great ACC matchup with Central Florida having that prolific offense against the Bearcats stellar defense. Cincinnati has been impressive all season and their defensive task this week is to slow down the Knights No. 1 ranked offense which averages 619 yards per game while Cincy's defense is ranked 9th allowing just 301 yards per outing. UCF is 1-5 ATS in their last six as they have been prohibited favorites and now their role is changed. Now, the Knights are home underdogs and they are 5-2 ATS as dogs and 4-1 ATS against teams with winning records and the Bearcats are 0-4 ATS in their last four on natural grass. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA! |

Purdue at Minnesota 7:30 ET Golden Gophers (+) over Boilermakers- No doubt Minnesota has been a major disappointment from their opening week loss to Michigan (Yeah, that Michigan!) and they were annihilated 35-7 by Iowa last week. Purdue (2-1) started with an upset win over Iowa and then beat Illinois before losing 27-20 to Northwestern last Saturday. Boilermakers had +2 yards rushing last week and have just 191 yards rushing total in three games this season. Being one-dimensional is rarely a successful formula on the field. Look for the Gophers to emerge from the hole that they have created and use their ground game to dig out a home victory. Take MINNESOTA! Collect here and roll it over to Chip's Big Ten Game of the Year on Saturday. |

11-19-20 | Cardinals v. Seahawks -3 | Top | 21-28 | Win | 100 | 26 h 34 m | Show |
Arizona at Seattle 8:20 ET Seahawks (-) over Cardinals- These two are in the middle of the 3-way log jam at the top of the NFC West with the Rams among the leaders. Four weeks ago the Cardinals came from 10 down with 6:44 left in the 4th quarter and scored three times to win in OT 37-34 and handed Seattle their first loss. They were 5-0 and Russell Wilson had been faultless but in the past four games he has committed 10 turnovers as the Seahawks have dropped 3-of-4. Arizona is coming off a miracle win over Buffalo and have impressive numbers as road underdogs going 8-1-2 ATS in their last 11 whereas the Hawks are 5-2 ATS as home favorites and 32-15-4 ATS after a straight up loss. The Cardinals have played well on the road so don't be surprised if they get the 'action.' Take SEATTLE! |

11-16-20 | Vikings v. Bears +3.5 | 19-13 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 53 m | Show | |
Minnesota at Chicago 8:15 ET Bears (+) over Vikings- To start with I don't understand how Minnesota has been made this kind of favorite on the road against a team that has a better overall record. Chicago has dropped three straight and have fallen 5-1 and the division lead to trailing Green Bay by two full games. The Vikings at 3-5 have posted wins over Detroit and the Packers have brought them back in contention after a 1-5 start. The Bears have had trouble scoring and coach Nagy has handed the play-calling duties to offensive coordinator Bill Lazor and that can't hurt. The home teams have dominated this series going 25-10 ATS in the last 35 meetings and the Bears are 14-3 ATS in the last 17 meetings as hosts. Take CHICAGO! |

Baltimore at New England 8:20 ET Patriots (+) over Ravens- Listen, I understand, this is a game that you, we, me anyone of 'us' probably could care less about with the stumbling fumbling falling Cam Newtown trying to revive a fading franchise. Baltimore of course tricked most of the 'wiseguys' who piled on the Colts last week as the Ravens got the gold winning 24-10. The last time these two met (11/03/19) Lamar Jackson was 'Newton like' rushing for a pair of TD's and passing another in an easy 37-20 win handing the New England c their first loss of the season. Newtown has failed to throw a TD pass in four consecutive games as New England without any speed wide outs to speak of will try and control the game on the ground. This one should play close. Take the PATRIOTS! |

Seattle at L.A. Rams 4:05 ET Rams over Seahawks- Now, that we've broken the Russell Wilson curse we shall ride the wave and continue building our bankroll. Last week 'we' played Buffalo over the Seahawks and were rewarded as the porous Seattle defense was drilled giving up 44 points and finished with the No. 32 ranked 'D' which is allowing 456 yards per game (that's the average folks). Yet, they are 6-2 with a 1-game lead over the Rams in the West as LA licks their wounds from their loss at Miami with a bye week and will be ready for this division game. Although Seattle is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 as road dogs they are only 2-6 ATS in their last eight games at LA. Rams have ability to bounce back and are 8-1 ATSA following a loss and 16-5-1 ATS against the NFC to boot. Take L.A. RAMS! |

Chip's 'Guaranteed' NFC Vegas Hotline Winner San Francisco at New Orleans 4:25 ET 49ers (+) over Saints- Well, the Saints came marching in and rolled into Tampa Bay and out with after thrashing the Buccaneers. It wasn't even a game! The Bucc's had a total of five rushing attempts with only four by running backs while New Orleans forced Tom Brady to play his first ever game with multiple interceptions without a TD pass. San Francisco is a mess with a rash of injuries and load of positive COVID results they have been very inconsistent. Nick Mullins is making his fourth start at QB and has is 68.4% for 1,143 yards and five TD's and five int's. Despite what going on SF has the No. 7 ranked Defense allowing just 324 yards and surprising their offense has played steady and ranked No. 13 with 374 yards a game. New Orleans should come back to the pack after a near perfect game against Tampa and the Niners should rebound from losses to Seattle and Green Bay. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

11-15-20 | Bills v. Cardinals -2.5 | Top | 30-32 | Loss | -105 | 18 h 6 m | Show |
Buffalo at Arizona 4:05 ET Cardinals over Bills- Buffalo at 7-2 leads the AFC East and is off a huge home win over Seattle 44-34 where Josh Allen out-passed Russell Wilson 386 to 362. Last week Arizona was playing hosts to Miami and although they out-gained the Dolphins by 150 yards they lost 34-31 as a 6-point favorite. The Bills are just 1-4-1 ATS in their last six road games and the improving Cardinals are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall. But, Allen is not the answer today, it's Kyler Murray who has passed for 16 TD's and ran for eight more. I noted how many yards the Seahawks threw for last week because Arizona has the No. 1 NFL offense averaging 422 yards per game. They will exploit the Bills defense which surrenders 365 YPG. Take ARIZONA! |

11-15-20 | Chargers +2 v. Dolphins | 21-29 | Loss | -109 | 17 h 25 m | Show | |
L.A. Chargers at Miami 4:05 ET Chargers over Dolphins- While writing down the opening lines this one didn't pass the smell test as the home 5-3 (6-2 ATS) Dolphins were favored by less than a field goal against the 2-6 Chargers who have won one of their last six. We all know that Miami has been pointing lasers into opponents eyes when they are trying to catch punts and stuff because of the way they score touchdowns on special teams and defense is amazing. They defeated the Rams by 10 and were out-gained by 326 yards and as a matter of fact they have gained more yardage than their opposition only twice, against the Jets of course and when they took apart a decimated 49ers team. L.A. meanwhile puts up great stats as Justin Herbert leads the NFL's No. 2 offense into Miami. The Chargers have been a money machine as dogs on the road going 34-15 ATS in their last 49. Take the LA CHARGERS! |

Chip's 'Guaranteed' AFC Rivalry Winner Denver at L.V. Raiders 4:05 ET Broncos (+) over Raiders- My first thoughts on this game is 'John Gruden.' He has the Raiders playing a fundamentally sound brand of football looking to control the ball with his capable and veteran quarterback Derek Carr although he starting offensive line has been together for 10 total plays this season. The virus has affected Las Vegas an it hit their offensive line the hardest as two more OL went down this week making six on the season. Denver started 0-2 but has gone 3-2 since with a loss coming last week at Atlanta and they are 6-0 ATS after a straight-up loss. Broncos are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games but are 0-5 ATS in the last five meetings. But, the Raiders are 5-16 ATS following a SU win. Take DENVER! |

Oregon State at Washington 11:00 ET Beavers (+) over Huskies- I always feel that a team with a game under their belt is in better position than a team playing it's opening game, although this give a chance to view opponents game film. There an interesting storyline concerning the coaches as the Beavers head coach Jonathan Smith was Washington's OC who raised their scoring over 5-points per game over a four year span and the Huskies offense slipped back to 26 points after his departure. Oregon State on the rise is 7-0 ATS in last seven as road dogs and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 overall. Washington is just 2-7 ATS as hosts in the last nine meetings. Take OREGON STATE! |

Wisconsin at Michigan 7:30 ET Wolverines (+) over Badgers- Wisconsin opened the year with one of the most dominating performances of this cockeyed season destroying hapless Illinois 45-7. The Badgers held the Illini to just 218 total yards which is best in the nation with just one game played. Michigan of course has garnered plenty of attention having lost two straight after an opening win over Minnesota as they fell to rival Michigan State and last week to Indiana who they had defeated 22 straight times. The media is starting to pressure Wolves coach Jim Harbaugh as Michigan licks their wounds while Wisconsin has had to deal with COVID issues having games cancelled and being idle for three weeks. After playing an defeating an inferior opponent the Badgers get to pat themselves on the back and lose their competitive edge. The Wolverines are desperate for a win and I expect a huge effort here as the home team is 7-2-1 ATS in the past 10 meetings. Take MICHIGAN! |

TCU at 3-3 SU is 4-2 ATS with a win over Texas and are looking for revenge for last season's home 20-17 loss to the Mountaineers.

Penn State at Nebraska 12:00 ET Cornhuskers (+) over Nittany Lions- Do you believe it? Here it is November 14 and two of the nation's most revered and storied football programs are winless at this date. Penn State got off to a rocky start losing to Indiana in OT as they committed 10 penalties, missed three field goal attempts and had three turnovers while holding the Hoosiers to 31 yards rushing. The next week they were beaten soundly by Ohio State 38-25 and were out-gained by 201 yards and last week they pushed around Maryland but lost but committed three more turnovers and missed again at their field goal attempt. The Lions have not been a good team on a rebound as they are 6-18-2 ATS after a SU loss and 1-5 ATS in their last six games as favorites. There is not many positives about Nebraska that can be said as they are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games overall and 6-18-2 ATS in their last 26 home games and 1-7 ATS as home underdogs. Penn State has been headed 'south' ever since James Franklin took the coaching job and they fail here. Take NEBRASKA! |

Tennessee meanwhile had their first solid effort in a month controlling the Bears until late in the game winning 24-17 despite making only 11 first downs. The Colts who are just 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games as underdogs have rebound powers as they are 5-0-1 ATS after double-digits loss at home and are 12-4-1 ATS when playing on Thursdays. Although the favorite is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings the Titans are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as favorites and Indianapolis is 6-2 ATS in Tennessee and 13-4 ATS in the last 17 meetings.

Colorado State returned to their 2019 starter at QB as Patrick O'Brien led the Rams to a win over Wyoming.

New England at New York Jets 8:15 ET Jets (+) over Patriots- They call the NFC East the 'Least' but the AFC isn't far ahead as these two combatants have lost 12 straight games between them. New England has dropped four straight and haven't lost five straight since 1995 but still have the No. 12 scoring defense and that plays into Belichick's hands. New York is dead last in points scored, passing yards and total yards and lost twice to the Pats last season by a combined 63-14 and has won just seven of the past 36 meetings. Cam Newton leads the Patriots in rushing and his counterpart for the Jets Sam Darnold did not practice Thursday as his sore shoulder has limited his playing time. Take NEW YORK! |

New Orleans at Tampa Bay 8:20 ET Buccaneers (-) over Saints- I can tell you right off that I am so NOT impressed with the Saints. I'm not sure exactly what it is but it might have something to do with their 2-5 ATS record. Both New Orleans and Tampa Bay are riding winning streaks with the Halo's having won their last four but failing to cover in their last three while the Buc's have won three straight including that fourth quarter comeback against the Giants. Tampa's defense is No. 1 against the rush allowing 70 yards a game while nNew Orleans is third at 91 yards per. Both QB's Brees and Brady have shown their ages at times but it appears Brady is still in charge. NO is 0-4 ATS against teams with winning records. Take TAMPA BAY! |

11-08-20 | Raiders v. Chargers | 31-26 | Loss | -105 | 23 h 54 m | Show | |
Las Vegas at L.A. Chargers 4:05 ET Chargers over Raiders- Las Vegas (that still seems a bit odd) made a nice recovery after their second half collapse against Tampa Bay while the Chargers were folding in the final minutes in their 31-30 loss at Denver. Los Angeles was favored on the road in that one and was the fourth double-digit lead that they have blown this season although they are 5-2 ATS despite that loss. The Chargers have the No. 2 offense at 417 yards per game and if we look at any trends from previous seasons it would turn our head so 'we' won't look. But, LA wins here. Take the CHARGERS! |

11-08-20 | Ravens v. Colts +1 | Top | 24-10 | Loss | -100 | 20 h 58 m | Show |
Baltimore at Indianapolis 1:00 ET Colts (+) over Ravens- I question that I have been asking about the Ravens is that have they finally been exposed for what they are. What they are is a team like the NY Yankees built for the Home Run Derby but not to win championships. It isn't an accident that the Ravens are 'Never-more' when up against top defenses. Although they out-gained the Steelers last week their quarterback play fail in the most important situations. When you lead the league in rushing and your leading rusher is your quarterback he becomes useless as a passer (31st in passing yards) when his run game is shorted. Get this the Colts are 10-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings and their defense is ranked No. 2 allowing just 293 yards per game. They are also 12-4 ATS against teams with winning records and win here. Take INDIANAPOLIS! |

11-08-20 | Seahawks v. Bills +3 | 34-44 | Win | 100 | 20 h 55 m | Show | |
Seattle at Buffalo 1:00 ET Bills (+) over Seahawks- I've talked a lot about this game and not not all about my nemesis Russell Wilson (I'll get to him) but it is about Seattle's defense or lack there of as they ranked dead last No. 32 in total yards and yet are 6-1 leading the NFC West. He's where that QB comes into play as his efficiency level is off the charts. The Bills started the season fast but have come back to the pack a bit going 2-2 SU but 0-4 ATS in their last four games and they are 0-4 ATS in their last four as home underdogs while Seattle is 13-5-1 ATS on the road and 7-3-1 ATS as favorites. Maybe so, but this is not a good spot especially with running backs Chris Carson and Carlos Hyde out. Take BUFFALO! |

11-08-20 | Panthers +10.5 v. Chiefs | 31-33 | Win | 100 | 20 h 53 m | Show | |
Carolina at Kansas City 1:00 ET Panthers (+) over Chiefs- Kansas City at 7-1 is running away from the rest of the AFC West already with a 2.5-game lead over the Raiders with everyone else in the Division below .500. After a bye week, oops the Chiefs did face the Jets and flew higher with five touchdowns through the air. Usually, the first thing you think of about KC is their offense but, there defense is top-10 and they are No. 3 in points allowed with 19. Carolina has dropped their last three and really got 'hosed' by officials in their Thursday night loss to Atlanta and after 11 days off they should be chomping the bit and ready to go along with Christian McCaffrey who returns today. The Panthers can be competitive as they are 4-0 ATS under Matt Rhule and Carolina rules the points here. Take the PANTHERS! |

11-08-20 | Giants v. Washington Football Team -2.5 | 23-20 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 51 m | Show | |
New York Giants at Washington 1:00 ET Redskins (-) over Giants- Pay-back can be a bitch! That's what the Giants will learn on Sunday as DC Swampers gain a huge measure of revenge for the 22-21 loss when their 2-point attempt was stopped on the final play. Although New York is 5-3 ATS they failed to cover in their lone win and are off a pair of tough prime-time losses to Philly and Tampa Bay 22-21 and 25-23. Washington has had two weeks to prepare and when last seen scalping the Cowboys 25-3. Ron Rivera has made his choice and Kyle Allen is his quarterback and is leading the charge while Dwayne Haskins Jr. is ordering a moving van. Giants won't be able to recover emotionally from those prime time losses and the static that is happening off the field. Take WASHINGTON! |

11-07-20 | Vanderbilt v. Mississippi State -18 | 17-24 | Loss | -115 | 18 h 25 m | Show | |
Vanderbilt at Mississippi State 3:30 ET Bulldogs (-) over Commodores- I've telling anyone who would listen that the SEC is lucky so many conferences haven't played because it is a terribly weak conference. After all Alabama is favored by an average 33 points and they keep 'covering. And these are toe of the worst. Okay so Vandy 0-4 SU, 1-3 ATS hasn't played the Tide yet but Mississippi State has, last week and they didn't score a point 41-0. Their last four games they scored the Bulldogs have scored 0, 14, 2, 14 and after getting shut out last week they are a 19-point favorite and they haven't scored anything close to that much less covering a number that huge. The Commodores are lost at sea as far as I'm thinking and they really can't last at all as they are 4-14 ATS in their last 18 overall and 7-19 ATS as underdogs. Bulldogs are 6-2 ATS in L-8 as home favorites and 4-1 ATS in last five against Vanderbilt. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE! |

11-07-20 | Minnesota v. Illinois +7 | 41-14 | Loss | -102 | 18 h 24 m | Show | |
Minnesota at Illinois 3:30 ET Illini (+) over Golden Gophers- When the Big Ten season opened Minnesota was considered a strong contender after last season's performance but are 0-2 after getting pushed around by Michigan and then blew a 21-point fourth quarter lead to Maryland and lost 45-44 after a missed extra-point. Illinois is also 0-2 as they were destroyed by Wisconsin in their opener 45-7 and then were defeated by Purdue 31-24 allowing 49 of 56 passing attempts to be completed this season. The Illini have yet to force a turnover allowing 443 yards per games still better by almost 150 yards better than the Golden Gopher defense which allows 576 yards a game. Take ILLINOIS! |

11-07-20 | Houston +13 v. Cincinnati | Top | 10-38 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 23 m | Show |
Houston at Cincinnati 3:30 ET Cougars (+) over Bearcats- Cincinnati will hang their hats on their defense as they allowing 12 points per games ranked No. 7 in points allowed and 15th in total overall defense. There last two win came over SMU and Memphis last week dominating both clubs. The Bearcats have out-gained every opponent including the powder-puffs they played like Austin Peay, Army and South Florida. Houston meanwhile has had five games postponed or cancelled and opened the season trailing Tulane 24-0 at the half and came back to win. Since then, they have lost to BYU and Central Florida a pair of pretty good clubs and defeated Navy. There is just too much attention being paid to the Bearcats and with the ESPN and national attention coming an opponent always wants to make an impression. Note that the Cougars are 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 games as road underdogs. Take HOUSTON! |

Liberty at Virginia Tech 12:00 ET Hokies (-) over Flames- We have seen this before this season where an unranked team Virginia Tech is favored against an undefeated ranked team. Liberty enter this fray No. 25 while the Hokies who have had COVID issues are at full strength and glad to be on the field. As I said last week W.Virginia unranked was favored over ranked Kansas State and the Mountaineers won for us and that was the third time this season that we took advantage of that situation. These two met in 2016 and VT as a 31-point favorite won 36-13 holding the Flames to 160 total yards. Now, I expect Liberty to do better than that this time but Tech knows who they are playing. Liberty has out-gained every opponent playing a bunch of dregs and coach Hugh Freeze has stated 'No one has stopped us yet'...till now. Take VIRGINIA TECH! |

11-06-20 | BYU v. Boise State +3.5 | Top | 51-17 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 15 m | Show |
BYU at Boise State 9:45 ET Broncos (+) over Cougars- No. 7 BYU might have the best quarterback in the country in Zack Wilson and with all the attention going to Lawrence and others and this week he's up against at thorn in the Cougars side. You see, Boise is 6-0 SU lifetime when hosting this 'Border War' including a start by Wilson in 2018 a 21-16 SU loss but a winner ATS getting +11. This time the Cougars are the favorite but the result will be the same although they are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 road games. As far as the Broncos are concerned they play well at home 6-1 ATS last-7 and as underdogs going 7-1 last eight in that roll. I kinda thing that they might have the wrong team favored here. Take BOISE STATE! |

San Jose State at San Diego State 9:00 ET Spartans (+) over Aztecs- Oh yes, SD State has been very impressive in their two victories defeating UNLV 34-6 and Utah State 38-7. The Aztecs have the nation's No. 1 ranked defense allowing just 200 yards per games as they out-gained those two opponents by 597 yards, but they have faced a pair of the Mountain West dregs. San Jose State has surprised Air Force and New Mexico and is averaging 354 yards a game passing and will be the first decent offense that SDS will be facing. The Spartans have struggled against the Aztecs going 1-6 ATS in the last seven meetings but are a stellar 14-5-1 ATS in their last 20 conference games. Keeping it close...take SAN JOSE STATE! |

Miami-Fl at N.C. State 7:30 ET Wolfpack (+) over Hurricanes- Miami-Fl has had two weeks to bask in the South Florida sun and gloat about their 5-1 record and two-game winning steak. NC State has also had two weeks to get ready and they are hurting off a beating at the hands of North Carolina and now have to deal with the cocky and overconfident Hurricanes. The Wolfpack at 4-2 have faced four ranked teams and believe that their 3-3-5 defense can stifle Miami quarterback D'Eric King. The Canes who are improving from recent editions are just 1-4 ATS last-5 as road favorites while the Pack is a miserable 3-10 ATS last-13 as underdogs but a fabulous 19-7 after a bye week. Take NORTH CAROLINA STATE! |

Wyoming at Colorado State 9:00 ET Rams (+) over Cowboys- Last Thursday and Friday 'we' posted against Colorado State and won with Fresno State (+) outright 38-17 and on Friday 'we' had Wyoming (+) outright over Hawaii 31-7. So entering this matchup I believe that I have a bead on both these clubs. I love the way this game sets up and believe the Rams at home have a decided advantage over the Cowboys although the visitor in is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. They are also 14-6 ATS in their last 20 as favorites while the Rams are 7-3 ATS after a SU loss and are 5-2 ATS in their last seven home games. Take COLORADO STATE! |

11-05-20 | Packers v. 49ers +7.5 | 34-17 | Loss | -115 | 22 h 13 m | Show | |
49ers (+) over Packers- I was so looking forward to this matchup for numerous reasons but the physical condition of both these clubs leaves so much talent on the sidelines. San Francisco appears to be hurt most with quarterback Jimmy 'Crap'-polo' out and tight end Georgia Kittle going down last week to go along with a plethora of other injuries. Although these two are in different divisions they have played each other in each of the past three seasons with the Niners going 2-1 SU and 3-0 ATS. Last January San Fran man-handled the Pacers in the NFL Championship game 37-20 when they took a 27-0 halftime lead which put them in the Super Bowl. Green Bay was held to 62 yards rushing in that one and this week they most likely will be without their top running back Aaron Jones. Somehow the Niners despite their injury issues should get the money. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

Chip's 'Stand-Alone' WINS AGAIN! Dallas at Philadelphia 8:20 ET Cowboys (+) over Eagles- Now, it seems the Cowboys have a legitimate excuse for not winning with Dak Prescott and back-up Andy Dalton out due to injuries but a win here would vault them into first place in the NFC Least. Dallas will be starting Ben DiNucci at QB who was drafted at 231 overall in round 11 from James Madison after three seasons with U. Pittsburgh. The Eagles lead the division virtual their improbable 22-21 win over the Giants last Thursday otherwise have little to brag about. Philly is 0-5 ATS as home favorites and 2-9 ATS against team at home with a losing record while Dallas is 0-7 ATS this season alone. But, the 'Boys are 6-2 ATS their last eight in Philadelphia and 13-4 ATS versus the NFC East. In a tough one to bet...take DALLAS! |

Chip's 'Guaranteed' Power Play Winner L.A Chargers at Denver 4:05 ET Broncos (+) over Chargers- There was a time when playing in Denver's Mile High Stadium was a daunting task but, as of now the Broncos are 0-3 straight-up with just an opening week 'back-door' cover against the Titans have them 1-2 ATS. Los Angeles (still trying to get used to that) had dropped four straight before storming back with 3-TD's in the final 15-minutes to win and cover against the Jaguars in a game where they had almost 200 yard advantage. Both clubs are 2-4 with the Broncos losses to Tennessee, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay and Kansas City...guess what all division leaders and a combined 22-4 straight-up. Take DENVER! |

Chip's 'Guaranteed' AFC Megabucks Winner Pittsburgh at Baltimore 1:00 ET Ravens (-) over Steelers- Pittsburgh is the last unbeaten team (6-0) in the NFL and I believe the '72 Dolphins (14-0) will be popping corks before the weekend is over! I watched the Steelers/Titans game last week and man that Ben Roethlisberger is one tough SOB and he still runs an offense with precision converting 13 of 18 third-down opportunities. He's aided by the No. 1 defense both in yards and points allowed. Last week the face the leagues number rushing team and shut the Titans down and now this week they once again face the NFL's leading rushing team in Baltimore. The Ravens who have had two weeks to prepare and I'm sure watched every play of their games last week now possess the No. 1 rushing attack at 164 per game. Pittsburgh has a NFL best 26 sacks but might find Lamar Jackson difficult to trap behind the line of scrimmage. This won't be easy but hyey you never really can tell as the Steelers travel well goin 8-2 ATS as road dogs and 20-7-2- ATS in their last 29 overall as underdogs. Now, I can point out that the 'Black Birds' are just 5-12 in their ;last 157 as home favorites but they are 7-3-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings. I love the spot as Pitt comes off big win at Tennessee and Ravens have extra week...take BALTIMORE! |

Chip's 'Guaranteed' NFL Money Game Winner Minnesota at Green Bay 1:00 ET Vikings (+) over Packers- Oh man, has Aaron Rogers become my new nemesis replacing Russell Wilson? Maybe not, we are 1-3 ATS 'against' the future HOF. Minnesota, will try and counter the Packers QB with 'How do you like me now' Kirk Cousins who leads the NFL with 10 interceptions. The Vikings are No. 30 when it comes to turnover at minus-7 while Green Bay is plus+2 including one in the season opener at Minnesota a 43-34 Packers win. The Pack is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings at home but here is the key for me. The Vikings are 29-11 ATS after back-to-back losses including 7-1 ATS as dogs. Take MINNESOTA! |

Chip's 'Guaranteed' NFL Vegas Hotline Winner Tennessee at Cincinnati 1:00 ET Bengals (+) over Titans- I can't say that the Titans were exposed in last weeks' 27-24 loss to Pittsburgh, but without a running game that couldn't muster half (82) their per game average of 169 and totaled just 292 yards. Cincinnati's has won just one game of seven and are a stellar 5-2 ATS but their problem is that they don't play very good defense allowing almost 400 yards and 28 points per game. Tennessee won four single possession games beating powers like the Jaguars by 3, Vikings by 1, Broncos by 2 and Texans in overtime, the bunch are a combined 5-21 SU. Bengals in playing tough and ready to surprise as rookie Joe Burrow had 406 yards passing last week with three touchdowns as the Bengals are poised to win. The Cats are 5-1 in their last six meetings and the Titans are 6-19 ATS in their last 25 road games against teams with losing records. Take CINCINNATI! |

Chip's 'Guaranteed' AFC Rivalry Winner New England at Buffalo 1:00 ET Patriots (+) over Bills- It is incredible how much respect the odds-maker have for these broken down Patriots who were totally pushed around by the 49ers. Really, Buffalo leads the AFC East with a 2.5-game edge over New England and the 'price' is way below where it belongs. With the injuries and defections and COVID player losses the 'line' remains stable. The history of this series most likely is the biggest factor as the Patriots are 13-3 ATS in the last 16 meeting in Buffalo and the Bills are 5-13 ATS as home favorites in the series! Cam Newton has all be said 'maybe I can't play anymore' but he's going to be at his best Sunday. Take NEW ENGLAND! |

Chip's 'Guaranteed' Major Shocker Winner Indianapolis at Detroit 1:00 ET Lions (+) over Colts- My first thoughts when seeing this matchup was that I wanted little to do with it. Of course as the week move forward and I gather information a storyline creeps into your head. The Colts are 4-2 and yet I feel that they have been less than impressive and maybe with Rivers now pitching for them that I expected too much. Indianapolis has the No.2 defense but that has been hampered by their woeful rushing game a league low 3.6 YPC with only 98 yards on the ground per game. Detroit showed me some I didn't know they had in them, a late drive and win led by Matt Stafford. I've never really been a big fan of the 12-year (that's right 12-years and I'm still waiting) who has let me down in spots like this too many time as the :Lions are 4-9 ATS in their last 14 games as underdogs and 2-6 ATS in their last eight home games. The best thing that they have going on the other side of the ball is that the Colts have covered just once in their last six road games. Somehow, DETROIT! |

(I have a bead on this club). On paper this looks like a route with North Carolina who is second to Clemson in the ACC and is No. 8 in the nation with 531 yards offense and have committed just one turnover. Struggling Virginia has lost four straight since an opening win over Duke and had to scrap and claw to get the 'cover' last week against Miami-Fl (Megabucks winner) and that's what they will do again here. The CavalIers defeated Sam Howell and the tar Heels last season 38-31 so they know what to expect. Take VIRGINIA! |

Ohio State at Penn State 7:30 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Buckeyes- Oh, how I should love this game and may still use it as a Best Bet but I have a concern about the Nittany Lions running game as Noah Cain sustained a season ending injury and he was replacing last season's leading rusher Journey brown who has been ruled out for the year. Penn State lost to Indiana in overtime last week but you wouldn't know it if you only saw the box score as they out-rushed the Hoosiers 250 yards to 41. But, the turned the ball over three times and missed three field goals. Ohio State was invincible last week crushing Nebraska 52-17 as Justin Field went 20-21 for 276 yards and two TD's passing and one running. The Buckeyes will find it a little tougher going this week on offense. Take PENN STATE! |

Boise State at Air Force 6:00 ET Falcons (+) over Broncos- Boise State did their thing at home on dizzying blue carpet that makes me nuts easily taking apart Utah State who looks to have returned to prior level of play which is very low. Air Force opened the season by sinking the Navy 40-7 on Oct. 3 and then lost their edge waiting three weeks before getting bet by San Jose 17-6. The blue turf helps as as Broncos are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six road games and 1-3-1 ATS as road favorites and are 2-5-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. Add the home team is 3-0-1 ATS last four meets and the Falcons are 9-2-1 ATS as home underdogs. Take AIR FORCE! |

The Hokies fell at wake Forest 23-16 last week out-gaining the Deacons by over 120 yards and have out-gained opponents in four of five games. I question why Tech is a favorite on the road as they are 7-24 ATS in their last 31 games as road favorites and Louisville is 5-1 ATS in their last six home games but 6-16 ATS in their last 22 as home underdogs and a miserable 6-20-1 ATS against teams with a winning record.

Mike Gungy has his Cowboys defense ranked No. 4 allowing just 12 points a game. While despite their two losses the Longhorns have averaged 45 points per game. Texas dominated the series early winning 22 of the first 24 but O.K. State has won seven of the last 10 and four straight before the Longhorns 36-30 win in Austin last year. Cowboys on up tick the last two seasons going 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games overall. I don't know if they have enough as the visitor is 10-3 ATS in the last 13 meetings. Take TEXAS! |

They have surrendered 49, 37, 27, 73 and 48 points in their last five games and average of 46.8 points per game. Notre Dame of course just keeps rolling along and at 5-0 they have the No. 9 ranked defense allowing just 273 yards a game but have not faced a team with a winning record and their opponents are a combined 8-22. Tech gave the ball away their first three possessions last week at Boston College and were never in it after getting crushed the previous week 73-7 by Clemson.

West Virginia meanwhile does their thing losing on the road (0-2) and winning at home (3-0) and this one's at home, but that isn't the key factor as to why you should take the Mountaineers and 'forget about it.' The 'Hillbillies' have out-gained each of their five opponents while the Wildcats can only claim one such advantage. K. State has as usual had the best of special teams play with 15 turnovers so far and five returns for TD's. West Virginia will counter with No. 6 defense allowing just 261 yards a game while KSU offense is ranked 70 they also grade out better on offense at 461 yards per. Take WEST VIRGINIA! |

Atlanta at Carolina 8:20 ET Falcons (+) over Panthers- You have got to 'love' the NFL decision makers moves as at time it defies logic. Three weeks ago Atlanta finally let coach Dan Quinn go as the Falcons had the league's worst rated defense and yet a top three offense. So, upon his dismissal the brass that make the most important decisions promotes Defensive coordinator Raheem Morris to head coach. Under his lead the 'Dirty Birds' win at Minnesota and blew a 6-point lead allowing Detroit to drive 75 yards with 1:04 remaining and the defense could not make a stop. Am I missing something here? Now, this week Carolina welcomes to return of All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey as they try to recover after last weeks tough loss at New Orleans. The Panthers won the first meeting 23-16 which sent Atlanta to 0-5 and Quinn was let go the next day. But as bad as it looks for the Falcons they do manage to play Carolina better than other clubs. Atlanta is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings which includes the earlier loss this season and they are 6-1 in their last seven games as road underdogs. Carolina has upgraded with their coaching bringing Matt Rhule in will help but of late the Panthers are 3-8 ATS in their last games as favorites including 2-5 ATS as home favorites. Take ATLANTA! |

Los Angeles is 4-0 against the NFL East and are 0-2 against teams with winning records losing to the Niners and Bills. Although Chicago is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings the home team is 4-1 in the last five meetings. The price has risen as the Bears have had five starters miss practicing this week while the Rams are relatively healthy with no major injury issues. LA meets the challenge tonight. Take the RAMS! |

Seattle at Arizona 8:20 ET Cardinals (+) over Seahawks- I love the spot, I love the matchup what I don't like is that I am sure that Arizona is going to be a 'heavy play' for the professionals. Also, as I have stated a number of times it is so hard to get bye Russell Wilson as we did last time out with Minny (+) 26-27. Seattle was off last week and brings their perfect 5-0 SU record and dead last rated defense into Phoenix. The Seahawks allow 471.2 yards per contest while Arizona's offense is ranked No. 5 with 403 yds per game. That being said Seattle is 13-4-1 ATS in their last 18 road games and 6-2-1 ATS as favorites. Cardinals 4-0-1 as dogs last five and the dogs is 8-1-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Take ARIZONA! |
