11-25-23 | Ohio State v. Michigan -3.5 | Top | 24-30 | Win | 100 | 20 h 8 m | Show |
Ohio State at Michigan 12:00 ET Wolverines (-) over Buckeyes- I have all kinds of information and trends on the biggest game of the 2023 college football season as a pair of undefeated Big Ten powerhouses clash at noon kicking off Rivalry Saturday. Being No. 2 or 3 really doesn’t mean much to these 11-0 teams but I bucking a NCAAF trend that will be difficult to stand against. According to Playbook when a pair of undefeated 10-0 teams or better meet the underdog has won outright nine times and is a perfect 10 ATS. Tough numbers to go against but that is what it will take to win here. This game is being played because the Wolverines have shown better with the eye test or personal observation. With the fact that I believe that with or without Jim Harbaugh hey are that much better. Take MICHIGAN! |

11-24-23 | Oregon State v. Oregon -13.5 | Top | 7-31 | Win | 100 | 26 h 17 m | Show |
Oregon State at Oregon 8:30 ET Ducks (-) over Beavers- The development of quarterback Bo Nix who has started more college Division I games than any other QB has been ‘light years’ and I mean at Auburn he just wasn’t the man. Now, a more mature and composed Nix is one of the leading candidates for the Heisman Trophy. When I started covering this match-up it was called the Civil War and now if we refer to it as that we may face ‘cancel culture’ but on the field the players will fiercely battle it out. You learn in the military that the superior firepower will always win out and the Ducks have much more firepower than do the Beavers. A pair of losses in their last four games has taken a bit of bit out of the Beavers...take OREGON! |

11-24-23 | Missouri v. Arkansas +9 | 48-14 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 48 m | Show | |
Missouri at Arkansas 4:00 ET Razorbacks (+) over Tigers- This is a tough call as Missouri has a change to reach double digit wins for the first time in 10 years and have been a formidable foe all season. Arkansas had to endue a six game losing steak as their offense just didn’t produce at a level need to win gaining just 336 ypg ranking 101 among 130 FBS teams. The Razorbacks do have a legitimate threat at QB where KJ Jefferson has passed for 19 touchdowns and ran for two others. take ARKANSAS! |
|||||||
11-24-23 | UTSA +3.5 v. Tulane | 16-29 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 19 m | Show | |
Texas San Antonio at Tulane 3:30 ET Roadrunners (+) over Green Wave- This game caught my eye from the git-go as Tulane has been a great play the entire season and now at home in a game that means the berth in the AAC Championship game they come up a very short favorite. Tulane is the defending champion and has the greatest quarterback in school history as Michael Pratt is 20-2 as a starter the past two seasons has 9, 239 career passing yards. UTSA has won seven straight when QB Frank Harris returned and they have won by an average 18.9 points. The line and the public sentiment have been going Roadrunners. Take TEXAS -SAN ANTONIO! |

11-24-23 | Dolphins v. Jets +10 | 34-13 | Loss | -125 | 28 h 50 m | Show | |
Miami at New York Jets 12:00 ET Jets (+) over Dolphins- All of New York has quit on Zach Wilson and the Jets as their dreams of being Super Bowl contenders went south four plays into their season when Aaron Rodgers went down for the year in their opener against Buffalo. New York has about given up on third year QB Wilson and are going with Tim Boyle at QB and the 29-year old has not been very impressive in his NFL career throwing nine interceptions with three touchdown passes in 120 attempts. The Jets to a man could care less about Boyle’s past performances they are happy it is anyone else but Wilson directing the offense. With a gleam of hope the Jets surprise here. Take NEW YORK! |
|||||||
11-24-23 | Iowa v. Nebraska -2.5 | Top | 13-10 | Loss | -109 | 25 h 12 m | Show |
Iowa at Nebraska 12:00 ET Cornhuskers (+) over Hawkeyes- It has been a long draught for a school like Nebraska missing a bowl game as they haven’t qualified with enough wins since 2016. No. 17 Iowa (9-2) has got to be the worst Top-20 team that I have every seen in my lifetime and I am not kidding. The Hawkeyes have one of lowest scoring offenses in the country averaging just 18.5 points per game ranking No. 121 out of 130 FBS teams. Iowa is not only going to a bowl game but will play for the Big Ten championship against either Ohio State or Michigan next week. The Cornhuskers hold a 30-20-3 edge over Iowa who celebrated like they won the super bowl capturing a spot in the Big Ten title game. Huskers have more incentive and become bowl eligible with their win here. Take NEBRASKA! |
|||||||
11-23-23 | 49ers v. Seahawks +9 | Top | 31-13 | Loss | -120 | 28 h 1 m | Show |
San Francisco at Seattle 8:15 ET Seahawks (+) over 49ers- Certainly, the key factor surrounding this game is not just the availability of QB Geno Smith and effectiveness. As good as he has been throughout his coaching career Pete Carroll still loses more time with his in-game decisions. Now, coming off a loss to the Rams that never show have happened they host the Niners who are on a roll. But, `one thing that is certain in the NFL is that you-never really now until the dealing is done (excuse me Kenny). Brock Purdy who many had already written off as a fluke leads the NFL in passer rating at 115.1 completion rate 70.2% and yards per attempt with 9.7 yards. Still, he is Mr. Irrelevant and falls short here. Take SEATTLE! |
|||||||
11-23-23 | Ole Miss v. Mississippi State +10.5 | Top | 17-7 | Win | 100 | 22 h 7 m | Show |
Mississippi at Mississippi State 7:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Rebels- It has been a very disappointing season for the Bulldogs as they need this win over arch rival Mississippi to become bowl eligible. Mississippi State has possession of the Golden Egg after last year’s 24-22 win. A victory would help wipe away the disappointment of s season where their head coach was fired 10 days ago after a 51-10 loss to Texas A&M (who also fired their coach Jimbo Fisher after that game). State played a good portion of the season with quarterback Will Rogers (how could I play against Will Rogers) who has returned along with running back and Jo’Quavios Marks. Rogers missed four games because of a should injury and Marks missed three with a leg injury and both are back at full strength. Rogers was sorely missed as even with his absence he hold every Bulldogs passing record. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE! |
|||||||
11-20-23 | Eagles +3 v. Chiefs | Top | 21-17 | Win | 100 | 10 h 44 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Kansas City 8:15 ET Eagles (+) over Chiefs- The Eagles (8-1) sport the best record in the NFL. The Chiefs (7-2) have the best record in the AFC and have swept the last four meetings, including 38-35 in Super Bowl LVII on Feb. 12. Both teams are coming off bye weeks. Andy Reid is the winningest head coach in the history of both franchises. Jalen Hurts is in the MVP race again this season as he has completed a career-high 68.9 percent of his passes for 2,347 yards with 15 touchdowns also with eight interceptions while Patrick Mahomes has about the same numbers with 2,442 yards and 17 touchdowns and has also thrown eight picks. The Kelce's Chiefs are also 4-0 against older brother Jason Kelce, the center for the Eagles but gets his brotherly revenge tonight. Take PHILADELPHIA! |
|||||||
11-19-23 | Vikings v. Broncos -2 | Top | 20-21 | Loss | -124 | 18 h 39 m | Show |
Minnesota at Denver 8:15 ET Broncos over Vikings- As Dandy Don used to say ‘turn out the lights sweet darling, the party’s over’...So much for Minnesota quarterback, astronaut, doctor, physics theorist and all around talent is about to meet his Waterloo Sunday night. No question Josha Dobbs has been a great story but he has been a starter for three different teams with in four months and maybe there is a reason teams were willing to part with him so quickly. The Broncos have gained confidence and this is the best Wilson has played in three years. Take DENVER! |
|||||||
11-19-23 | Jets +7.5 v. Bills | Top | 6-32 | Loss | -120 | 14 h 45 m | Show |
New York Jets at Buffalo 4:25 ET Jets (+) over Bills- What do you know, what do say...Buffalo is 5-5 and the hard part of their schedule is coming up and I do not mean the Jets. New York opened the season with a come-from-behind no-Aaron Rogers win and posted the 22-16 upset victory. Bills QB Josh Allen who leads the NFL in turnovers (11 Ints) had four that day and he has yet to show this season the form that made Buffalo the odds on favorite to win it all last season. The Bills are reeling and fired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey and Allen says he feel responsible and he is. New York hasn’t scored an offensive touchdown in over 11 quarters as Zach Wilson struggles continue. But, the Jets defense is stout and the Jets need to muster just some scoring to win and they get it here. Take NEW YORK JETS! |
|||||||
11-19-23 | Titans +6.5 v. Jaguars | 14-34 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 22 m | Show | |
Tennessee at Jacksonville 1:00 ET Titans (+) over Jaguars- I really wasn’t interested in this game as I am afraid that the Titans just can’t cut it but...this is the NFL and it is rare when thing go according to Hoyle. Jacksonville is one of the public darlings and I guess it is because of Trevor Lawrence who has yet to reach the expected level of people most believe he eventually achieve.This will be the third straight road games for the Titans who dropped game at Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay. Lawrence will be wearing a knee brace and his mobility has been hampered. Take TENNESSEE! |
|||||||
11-19-23 | Bears +8.5 v. Lions | 26-31 | Win | 100 | 10 h 21 m | Show | |
Chicago at Detroit 1:00 ET Bears (+) over Lions- The storyline here is the return of Justin Fields who has given even the most pessimistic doubters reason to take notice. Chicago went 2-2 with backup Tyson Bagent but Fields took all snaps this week and will look forward to playing Detroit who he ran 279 yards in two games last year but the Bears lost both meetings. He has had back-to-back games where he threw for 617 yards and eight touchdowns. The Bears beat the Panthers last Thursday and will have added rest and prep time. Take CHICAGO! |
|||||||
11-19-23 | Chargers v. Packers +3.5 | Top | 20-23 | Win | 100 | 10 h 22 m | Show |
LA Chargers at Green Bay 1:00 ET Packers (+) over Chargers- I love playing against the Chargers and hate getting beat when I have Green Bay. Fortuitously we have make the correct choices with and against LA but with the Packers it has been a different story.Green Bay has lost our one-score games and simple thing like extra points have left them and ‘us’ on the short end of the point spread. True Justin Herbert may end up one of the games greats but he will be missing three receivers this week including All-Pro Keenan Allen. With such a small sample size of head-to-head meetings the Packers lead the all-time series with 10 wins and only two losses. Take GREEN BAY! |
|||||||
11-18-23 | Washington v. Oregon State -120 | Top | 22-20 | Loss | -120 | 25 h 4 m | Show |
Washington at Oregon State 7:30 ET Beavers (+) over Huskies- I feel very fortunate to have won with Utah (+) against the Huskies last week as Washington showed me their offensive line strength and I am duly impressed. But, this is a tough spot for the undefeated Huskies as Oregon State has won 16 of 17 at home. The Beavers still have an outside shot at the Pac-12 Championship and will be all-in for this battle and they have the offensive tools to complete with the nation’s fifth ranked scoring offense (41 points per game). Beavers QB DJ Uiaglelei has 20 TD passes and just four INTS. Take OREGON STATE! |
|||||||
11-18-23 | Florida +11.5 v. Missouri | 31-33 | Win | 100 | 25 h 56 m | Show | |
Florida at Missouri 7:30 ET Gators (+) over Tigers- Of course a gator will best a tiger, after they survived while dinosaurs did not. Florida was handed their worse loss of the season last week while Missouri pounded highly ranked Tennessee. The Gators were no expected to be an SEC powerhouse this season and they surprised no one going 5-5 to date. Florida has dropped their last three in Napier’s second a season after going 6-7 in 2022. The Gators quarterback has completed 70% of his passes and has 18 TD tosses with just two interceptions. Bounce back...take FLORIDA! |
|||||||
11-18-23 | California v. Stanford +7 | 27-15 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 53 m | Show | |
California at Stanford 6:30 ET Cardinals (+) over Golden Bears- The Big Game takes on a different hue this season as neither of these clubs have shown much promise and won’t play during the bowl season. The Bears actually have a shot if they win here (NOT) and again at UCLA. Stanford and Cal have a 131 year rivalry that will continue next season as they both move on to the ACC. This is the first Big Game for Cal coach Troy Taylor and he’ll be surprised by the Cardinal intensity. Going nowhere the Cardinal were just waiting for their battle against the Beavers last week (62-17 loss) to end and return to win for the first time at home this year. Take STANFORD! |
|||||||
11-18-23 | Central Florida +2.5 v. Texas Tech | Top | 23-24 | Win | 100 | 22 h 24 m | Show |
Central Florida at Texas Tech 5:00 ET Knights (+) over Red Raiders- Lucky enough to have the Game of Year winner with Florida State last week and played Texas Tech an outright winner at Kansas so I believe I have a good feel for this meeting. The Red Raiders need a win to become bowl eligible as well as Central Florida. The Knights season was derailed by injuries to QB John Rhys Plumlee as they dropped five in a row after a 3-0 start. UCF averages nearly 500 yards per game offensively ranking No. 3 in rushing with 233.7 YPG and they average 7.2 yards per play. Tech’s defense is Big-12 middle of the pack and will be overcome before games end. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA! |
|||||||
11-18-23 | Georgia v. Tennessee +10.5 | Top | 38-10 | Loss | -110 | 37 h 2 m | Show |
Georgia at Tennessee 3:30 ET Volunteers (+) over Bulldogs- Do ya think that Tennessee was looking ahead to this match-up last week while they were getting whooped 36-7 at Missouri...I’m counting on it! Georgia is No. 1 again and they should be, after all a back-to-back champion that hasn’t lost yet as their win streak is at 27 one win shy of Alabama’s SEC record 28. The Volunteers have a winning streak of their own where they have captured their last 14 games at Neyland Stadium including a win over Alabama last season. The Bulldogs should be confident as they have won the last six meetings but the Vols have been pointing to this contest and will be at their best. Take TENNESSEE! |
|||||||
11-18-23 | Duke v. Virginia +3.5 | 27-30 | Win | 100 | 20 h 25 m | Show | |
Duke at Virginia 3:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Blue Devils. Duke had a devil of a time last week losing in double overtime to their biggest and most ‘hated’ rival North Carolina 47-45. The Blue Devils left everything they had on the field last Saturday and will have difficulties being emotionally ready for this encounter. Virginia always seems ready to play Duke and they are seeking revenge after having their seven game series winning streak stopped in Durham last year 38-17. The Cavs (+20.5) were a great cover for us last Thursday playing Louisville (24-31) to a one score differential and another ATS win. They are 7-3 ATS on the season having lost five games by seven points or less.Take VIRGINIA! |
|||||||
11-18-23 | Louisville v. Miami-FL +1 | 38-31 | Loss | -115 | 26 h 5 m | Show | |
Louisville at Miami-FL 12:00 ET Hurricanes (+) over Cardinals- No.10 Louisville (9-1, 6-1) has surprised the critics with their stout defense allowing just 17.1 points per game ranking No. 12 in the nation. Miami is coming off a pair of losses and the last was against rival No. 4 Florida State who the Cardinals will play in the ACC Championship game if they prevail here. The Hurricanes were ready to sit quarterback Tyler Van Dyke the rest of the season because of poor performances but he got a reprieve when his backup QB Emery Williams injured his arm. Van Dyke has not thrown a TD pass in his last four starts and that all changes today. Louisville has never defeated Miami on the road and the kine tells me that they won’t start here. Take MIAMI! |
|||||||
11-16-23 | Bengals v. Ravens -3.5 | Top | 20-34 | Win | 100 | 29 h 24 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Baltimore 8:15 ET Ravens (-) over Bengals- It looked like Baltimore was ready to run away with the division leading Cleveland 31-17 at home with 8:50 left in the final quarter when Deshaun Watson led a six-play 75-yard TD drive and they and 41 seconds later an interception returned for a touchdown and the rest is history. The loss ended the Ravens four game winning streak as did the Bengals while falling to Houston. Although both clubs lost by game ending field goals Cincinnati’s loss had more impact moving forward. The major difference is in the defenses where the Ravens have the No. 2 ranked defense allowing just 273 ypg and the Bengals rank 30th allowing 384 ypg while the league average is 332. The Bengals are not today the team that we have seen in the past, on offense either where they are ranked No. 24 with 301 ypg while the Poe boys are at 362 ypg. I believe that at some time probably after the season we will hear that Joe Burrow has had some kind of injury...just sayin’...Take BALTIMORE! |
|||||||
11-16-23 | Boston College v. Pittsburgh -3 | 16-24 | Win | 100 | 16 h 27 m | Show | |
Boston College at Pittsburgh 7:00 ET Panthers over Eagles- This game has got to be in the ‘gaff’ for Pittsburgh to win. Boston College is so superior that they had already become Bowl eligible before last weeks annihilation at Virginia Tech ending their five-game winning streak. Now, at 2-8 after off a loss to Syracuse who plated the entire game without a quarterback (that’s right) and still lost 28-13. so, trying to grasp Pitt being favored...I have to put my trust that the bookmaker knows more than I do...therefore or ergo take...PITTSBURGH. |

11-13-23 | Broncos +7.5 v. Bills | Top | 24-22 | Win | 100 | 10 h 40 m | Show |
Denver at Buffalo 8:15 ET Broncos (+) over Bills- The Broncos (3-5) celebrated their most recent win over the Kansas City Chiefs during their bye week while the Bills (5-4) seek redemption from a loss at Cincinnati last Sunday. Denver is putting up stellar numbers defensively of late and kept three straight opponents under 20 points and kept the Chiefs out of the end zone prior to the bye week. Although five opponents averaged better than 4.7 yards per carry in the first eight games, and the Broncos are 32nd in the NFL in allowing 154.1 rushing yards per game. No problem the Bills do not run the ball adise from Allen for the most part. The Broncos are making a clear commitment to the ground game, calling a season-high 40 rushing plays against the Chiefs and posting consecutive games with at least 145 rushing yards. Take DENVER! |
|||||||
11-12-23 | Jets -112 v. Raiders | Top | 12-16 | Loss | -112 | 24 h 48 m | Show |
New York Jets at Las Vegas 8:15 ET Jets over Raiders- I understand and know full heartedly that the Las Vegas Raiders are terrible and a coaching change and a win over the Tommy DeVito led Giants isn’t really anything. Now, the difference between the Giants QB and the Jets Zach Wilson may not be that great an improvement but defensively the Jets get the edge. Rookie QB O’Connell will make the grade for the Raiders but it is a bit early yet, he will have to earn his strips and pay his dues like he will Sunday night. Take NEW YORK JETS |
|||||||
11-12-23 | Lions v. Chargers +3 | Top | 41-38 | Push | 0 | 19 h 1 m | Show |
Detroit at Los Angeles Chargers 4:05 ET Chargers over Lions- Oh, what a perfect set-up ( at least in my mind)! The way the Chargers look even in winning Monday night are a very hard ‘take’ while Detroit is off a win over the Raiders. They will be the much fresher team, as it comes off a bye week, while the Chargers earned a road win over the New York Jets on Monday night. This LA Chargers team is always in position to disappoint their backers and for they most part they do and for the most part as favorites. But, they are in a different role right down being played as an underdog at home. They have a tendency to surprise and they will again here. Take LOS ANGELES CHARGERS! |
|||||||
11-12-23 | Packers +3.5 v. Steelers | 19-23 | Loss | -115 | 16 h 29 m | Show | |
Green Bay at Pittsburgh 1:00 ET Packers (+) over Steelers- You would think that the way the Steelers play defense and the way Jordan Love plays quarterback this game is a perfect setup for Pittsburgh to dominate the play. Trouble for the new ‘Curtain’ is that they just do not produce any points on offense. Despite winning five game Pittsburgh has been out-gained by every opponent. Green Bay (3-5), which is looking to put together back-to-back wins for the first time this season. The Packers are coming off a 20-3 win at home against the Los Angeles Rams. Quarterback Jordan Love completed a career-high 76.9 percent of his passes (20 of 26) and the defense allowed no touchdowns for the first time this season. Green Bay's run defense rates as particularly impressive as of late. The Packers have held opponents to only 2.3 yards per carry (57 rushes for 130 yards) in their last two games. Take GREEN BAY! |

11-12-23 | Browns +6.5 v. Ravens | 33-31 | Win | 100 | 16 h 54 m | Show | |
Cleveland at Baltimore 1:00 ET Browns (+) over Ravens- The Ravens are quickly emerging as one of the teams to beat in the AFC, Baltimore is riding a four-game winning streak and will attempt to continue distancing itself from the rest of the division Sunday when it faces the visiting Cleveland Browns. The Browns allow the fewest yards per game (234.8) and third-fewest points per game (17.4) in the NFL. The only defense better? It belongs to Baltimore, which ranks second in total defense (262.6 yards allowed per game) and first in scoring defense (13.8 points allowed per game). Cleveland faced the Ravens earlier this season, though, as Baltimore rolled to a 28-3 win on Oct. 1 when Cleveland was without quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder). He’s back and the Brown will br better! Take CLEVELAND! 4 |

11-12-23 | Colts v. Patriots +2 | 10-6 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 38 m | Show | |
Indianapolis vs New England 9:30 ET Patriots (+ over Colts- Neither of these teams were expected to be contenders and have not given us any reason to think otherwise starting Week 11 of NFL action. Owners of the worst record in the AFC, the Patriots are not at all playing like the dynasty of the past two decades. The Patriots (2-7), the designated home team, have international marketing rights in Germany and are a fan favorite there because of their German-born former offensive tackle Sebastian Vollmer. As for the Colts' offense, Gardner Minshew has been under center since rookie Anthony Richardson's season-ending shoulder injury. Both the Colts and Patriots are practicing at home through Thursday and taking a flight overseas Thursday night, landing Friday morning Frankfurt time. Take NEW ENGLAND! |

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

11-11-23 | Texas v. TCU +12.5 | 29-26 | Win | 100 | 25 h 18 m | Show | |
Texas at Texas Christian 7:30 ET Horned Frogs (+) over Longhorns- This is the last time these two rivals shall meet as Big-12 contenders as Texas moves to the SEC next season. The Horned Frogs (4-5, 2-4), who played in the CFP championship game last season has struggled this season and return home after a 35-28 loss at Texas Tech last Thursday. They get an eight-day period to prepare for the Longhorns and have dropped two straight. The Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers will start this week after missing the past two games with a shoulder sprain. We know injury issues have hampered the Frogs this season and Josh Hoover who threw for 353 yards last week will get his fourth straight start. Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN! |

11-11-23 | Rutgers +1.5 v. Iowa | 0-22 | Loss | -105 | 21 h 24 m | Show | |
Rutgers at Iowa 3:30 ET Scarlet Knights (+) over Hawkeyes- How about this...this is the lowest ‘total’ ever put out in modern times by odds-makers and for good reason. The Iowa offense is totally inept and the Rutgers' defense has been stout, too, ranking 20th in the nation in scoring defense (17.9 points allowed per game) and 10th in total defense (282.4 yards allowed per game) and the Hawkeyes allow the fourth-fewest points per game (13.7) among FBS teams. Rutgers (6-3, 3-3) hits the road looking to bounce back from last weekend's 35-16 loss to Ohio State. The Scarlet Knights outgained the Buckeyes 361-328 but had trouble putting up six points, settling for field goals on three drives in which they worked inside the Ohio State 5-yard line. They get it done here. Take RUTGERS! |

11-11-23 | Oklahoma State v. Central Florida +2.5 | Top | 3-45 | Win | 100 | 22 h 21 m | Show |
Oklahoma State at Central Florida 3:30 ET Knights (+) over Cowboys- They can’t set themselves up much better than this one with Oklahoma State coming off a Bedlam rivalry win over Oklahoma. It was the Cowboys biggest win in the 19 years Mike Gundy has been coaching in Stillwater and the result was a field-storming rampage that had fans taking down the gol post and dumping it into a pond. OSU has won five straight all Big-12 Conference games while UCF has struggled to win just four of nine games played. The Knights lead the conference in rushing with 227 PYG and broke a five-game losing streak at Cincinnati last week. All stats favor the Cowboys except for one number...the number the bookies put on the game. Way too short for these teams past performances! Take CENTRAL FLORIDA! |

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

N.C. State at Wake Forest 2:00 ET Demon Deacons (+) over Wolfpack- NC State (6-3, 3-2) has won back-to-back home games against Clemson and Miami, but the Wolfpack achieved those wins with MJ Morris at quarterback, however Morris has decided to sit out the rest of the year and redshirt his sophomore season. Morris replaced Virginia transfer Brennan Armstrong at quarterback in the sixth game of the season. Armstrong, a graduate transfer will start once again. Wake Forest (4-5, 1-5) has lost five of their past six and must win two of its final three games to reach bowl eligibility. This is the Demon Deacons' home finale before trips to Notre Dame and Syracuse. Take WAKE FOREST! |

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

Carolina at Chicago 8:15 ET Panthers (+) over Bears- Chicago decided to pass over Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud at quarterback when the chance presented itself as the Chicago Bears surrendered the No. 1 pick in the 2023 draft to the Carolina Panthers. Young and the Panthers (1-7) visit the Bears (2-7) and once again draft ramifications are of greater significance than the playoff picture. The Bears in effect put their chips behind quarterback Justin Fields for a make-or-break 2023 season for a number of #1 draft picks in 2024. Fields might have an incomplete grade for his season to date. Chicago started undrafted rookie backup Tyson Bagent the past three games with Fields recovering from a dislocated right thumb. Fields has practiced in a limited capacity since last Friday. Young has experienced a rough introduction to the NFL as a rookie with two pick-6s in last week's loss to the Colts. Bears are averaging two turnovers a game and the Panthers are gearing up with Young improvement. Take CAROLINA! |

Virginia at Louisville 7:30ET Cavaliers (+) over Cardinals- Louisville (8-1, 5-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) is 5-0 at home this season and haven't lost there since Sept. 16, 2022, against Florida State. The No. 11 Cardinals look to extend their 10-game home winning streak but the Cavaliers (2-7, 1-4) were victorious on their most recent visit to Louisville in 2021. They have also won 31-27 on the road at North Carolina. Still, listen to this Louisville has not allowed a touchdown since Oct. 14. The Red Birds hold a 6-5 lead in the all-time series with Virginia and I am not saying that I believe the Cavaliers will even the series (always a shot) but they should be competitive enough not to embarrass themselves on nation TV. Take VIRGINIA! |

LA Chargers at New York Jets 8:15 ET Chargers (-) over Jets- from the moment I saw this MNF match-up I knew that I had the winner and that the Jets would mostly likely win the game outright. Yeah, well not so far my friend and hold on to your horse! The way I see it this number is strong and it is not difficult to take the Jets and as a matter of fact that is all that I am hearing from all the media pundits. I think the Chargers are a harder bet to make being favored on the road after some of what we have seen out of them...I’m taking Justin Herbert and the more professional club? HA! Take the LA CHARGERS! |

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

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

Indianapolis at Carolina 4:05 ET Panthers (+) over Colts- I’ve talked about streaks in betting sports and how once a team has its winning streak broken they have a tendency to slide for a while and they same but opposite is true. When a club get off the shied and breaks a losing streak they are more confident and relaxed their next time out. This is the next time out for Carolina! Indianapolis is the same team we see year in and year out mostly a disappointment and especially against the point spread. The Colts who have lost three straight should come up lame and they do more often than not. Panthers coach Frank Reich was 40-33-1 with Indy as head coach and was fired a year ago this Monday. Incentive...Take CAROLINA! |

11-05-23 | Rams v. Packers -3 | 3-20 | Win | 100 | 12 h 12 m | Show | |
LA Rams at Green Bay 1:00 ET Packers (-) over Rams- Things must be really bad in Los Angeles for the Rams to be such an underdog against this dreadful Packers team. Matthew Stafford suffered a sprained UCL and hasn’t practiced all week and in his place will be Brett Rypie. Rypien was released by LA in August and then resigned him from the Edmonton Elks of the CFL. Green Bay know who their quarterback is and that doesn’t make them all that happy as Jordan Love has shown little promise. But, the although the Packers have dropped 4-in-a-row and five of six they have won two games so they should be capable enough at home to get a much need win. Take GREEN BAY |

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

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

Washington at U.S.C. 7:30 ET Trojans (+) over Huskies- Last week I mentioned how we should always look to but low and sell high and this contest is a great example of the scenario we are going to take advantage of. Southern Cal entered the season with Heisman quarterback and many believed to be a forerunner of the Pac-12 and National Championships. But a pair of losses has the Trojans scrambling for credibility and what better opponent could they ask for but the undefeated Washington Huskies (8-0). Although most are aware that the win was handed to them as a gift from Oregon as only with lack of common sense could do them in...it did. The Huskies enter this battle undefeated.but, they won’t leave that way. USC’s QB Caleb Williams will out-dual Penix and playing as an underdog at home underdog and will be ready. Take USC. |

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

Well, you will be able to play on our SEC Game of the Month between LSU and Alabama (Don’t miss it). Okay, enough said about that (but it’s a winner!). Clemson has not had the best of season’s and this match against Notre Dame was a date circled to begin the season and now at 3-3 this match-up takes on even more significance along with the local media pressure that had been dumped on DaBo Swinney. Poor Dabo he will have to endure it for the rest of his 115 million dollar contract and he can’t afford to lose here and he won’t. Forget the stats and what you have witnessed up to now...”Don’t worry about the mule being blind...just load the wagon.” Take CLEMSON! |

Tennessee at Pittsburgh 8:15 ET Titans over (+ ) Steelers- There are a few factors that butt each other when will play out one way or another before this one is over. Pittsburgh without a doubt is the biggest enigma in the NFL out-gained by each of their opponents and yet have won four times. They have done it with a defense that takes the ball away from offenses but often score on big game changing plays. Tennessee is going with a rookie quarterback and although he threw four touchdown passes in his debut he will find the Steelers defense a different animal. Kenny Pickett insists he is going to start despite a rib injury and looks to post Pittsburgh’s fifth straight win in this series...nope! Take TENNESSEE! |

Las Vegas at Detroit 8:15 ET Raiders (+) over Lions- Yes, I know...the Raiders do stink and are poorly coach and I am award that Detroit is looking to rebound from the beating they took in Baltimore last week. But, in this world of NFL Draft Kings things do not always go as expected. Las Vegas has scored 20 points just once this season and that was aided by a Mac Jones safety on the final play of a 21-17 victory over the powerful Patriots. The Lions are an offensive juggernaut and have scored less then 20 points once and that was last week. The Raiders were held to 235 total yards in last weeks loss at Chicago but will have one of the NFL’s winningest starting quarterback on record (percentage wise) Jimmy Garoppolo returning to action. The Lions will be with running back David Montgomery will be sidelined once again. Take LAS VEGAS! |

Chicago at Los Angeles Chargers 8:20 ET Chargers (-) over Bears- Talk about over-reaction the public is going gaga over a rookie QB he got a start and won against the Raiders and they have virtually written out the LA Chargers as their most recent efforts have fallen short. Chicago’s undrafted, unheralded and unknown quarterback Tyson Bagent has captured the attention of America with his performance (21 0f 29 162 yards) against Las Vegas last Sunday, but his 15 minutes of fame will be short-lived. The Chargers problems are many but their biggest problem in passing defense where they rank last allowing 310 YPG but the Bulls also have defensive pass troubles that Justin Herbert will exploit. Experience will be the difference here as Herbert will throw the ball down field something the Bears don’t do. Take LA CHARGERS! |

Baltimore at Arizona 4:25 ET Cardinals (+) over Ravens- Talk about over-reaction, the Ravens who blew out Detroit (Power Play winner) 38-6 and it wasn’t that close have become the newest ‘unbeatable’ team. Remember this, they have lost at Pittsburgh and to Indianapolis at home and if they can get beat by those two clubs they can lose to anybody. Arizona is another story as they only beat the Cowboys and had a win snatched away by the Giants by blowing a 28-7 second half lead. This appears to be a mismatch as the Ravens have numbers that show huge advantages on both sides of the ball. Cardinals quarterback Joshua Dobbs has been disappointing under the gun until Kyle Murray returns. A banged up Cardinals team will be spirited in the desert and surprise the Ravens with how physical they can be. Take ARIZONA! |

Last week they defeated the impostor Chargers and have covered three straight. Included among their victories was a 19-8 Thursday night win over the Broncos their 16 straight win on the series and it has been 20 ears since Denver has won this game at home. The Chiefs have a contest against Miami next week overseas and they follow that with a Super Bowl rematch as the host Philadelphia. Russell Wilson has put up decent number but they have little value when he punks out near the red zone. Somehow, someway the Broncos get it done here and have a legitimate chance to win the game.

Now, that is not all fair as the 49ers are in a different class than Carolina but something has got to give and it happens here. Houston’s improvement has been impressive but for the most part there has been a knee jerk rover-reaction to their development. The Panthers also be facing a rookie quarterback in C.J. Stroud who has three wins with nine TD passes and only one interception. Trouble for the Texas is that they are 25th in rushing and this is their first time playing as a road favorite. The Panthers off a bye after two terrible road losses have won 3-of-4 meetings against Houston including the last two in Charlotte. Take CAROLINA! |

Now, and often the trend is right and wins but it is always something I am leery about. I am talking about the Rams as Dallas was a huge Monday night (Power Play) winner for us and they have had ample time to pat themselves on the back entering this fray. Los Angeles dropped a home game to Pittsburgh (Chip Shot winner) while having dominated play for 50 of sixty minutes. Rams Stafford and Kupp and back and working in sync and make this a ball game.

A few weeks ago the Commanders were a two-point conversion away from upsetting Philadelphia and they went ball-less and kicked the extra-point and then promptly lost in overtime. After the Giants loss the troops regrouped and brought their focus to the Eagles. It will take some doing and maybe the NFL can assign the proper officials to make it happen. Take WASHINGTON! |

Now, the Packers fans are loyal and will always support their QB’s but the play on the field says the kid just doesn’t have ‘it’. Minnesota was impressive in their Power Play winner for us Monday night and everybody has taken notice of their winning 3-of-4 with Cousins throwing on 75% of their plays. Buy low, sell high...right now the Packers value in plunging while the Vikings’ stock is soaring.

Now, after three outright wins over Kansas, Kansas State and West Virginia as underdogs they become more than a touchdown favorite. Cincinnati has lost five games in-a-row and turnovers have been their downfall as they out-gained Baylor 450-396 and had 288 yards rushing and still lost.

Oh, they will recover but this game on the road after an unexpected loss to a sub par competition is a mine field to navigate.

Here they are against losers of five straight and off a 49-0 blowout at the hands of rival Michigan. Oh, yeah I almost forgot their coach was fired for messin’ who he shouldn’t be a messin. Or maybe it was MSU trying to get out of a 10-year contact to an incompetent coach. Either way the Spartans have only covered 3-of-10. while Minnesota was a Power Play winner for us in a 12-10 win over Iowa last week and they didn’t produce a touchdown and still won. This week they may score a touchdown but the Golden Gophers offense is offensive and Spartans must control their turnovers to insure a win. Take MICHIGAN STATE! |

San Francisco at Minnesota 8:15 ET Vikings (+) over 49ers- There are a number of reasons that ‘we’ should be on San Francisco here but there are more key factors affecting this game that tell us we should not! SF was a 41-yard field goal away from remaining undefeated but without Robbie Gould the Gods made the ‘72 Dolphins smile. Okay, we are all aware of Kirk Cousins failures on Monday Nights (although I believe he broke his hex) and that the 49ers allow the fewest points per game allowing 14.5 PPG and holding opponents QB’s to a league low 67.5% completion rate. Minnesota will be without receiver Justin Jefferson and have no run game to speak of averaging just 75 YPG ranking 30 in total yards and No. 32 in attempts with just 18.8. What they do have is the third ranked passing game with 263.7 YPG and league the NFL in completions per game. Niner’s but are having injury issues to key personal, McCaffrey and Samual are hurting along with QB Purdy and three other starters. Niners won and covered the last two meetings in 2020 and 21 but the Vikings hold a 22-20-1 series edge. Take MINNESOTA! |

Although Detroit showed me plenty at TB last week this is bad spot. They are to play a quality team on the road for the 2nd straight week and the Raven is a clever foe that is constantly under-rated.

But, there is no accounting for Desman Ridder whose 296 yards passing went by the wayside as three INT’s were the difference.

Indy was a major disappointment to many last week as the Colts continue to come up lame, but will have Jonathan Taylor join AFC leading rusher Zack Moss.

UCLA at Stanford 10:03 ET Bruins (-) over Cardinal- The Cardinal received dispensation a week ago Friday when the rocked the college football world by coming back from a 29-0 half-time deficit at Colorado. UCLA meanwhile was having fits against Oregon State defense as QB Dante Moore threw three interceptions also got sacked five times. UCLA (4-2, 1-2) is looking to get back on track after facing three straight ranked teams and going 1-2. The Cardinal lost four straight games earlier this season, including 30-23 to Sacramento State, and then fell behind 29-0 in the first half against Colorado. They will get caught here and they are not all that good to start with take UCLA! |

Duke at Florida State 7:30 ET Seminoles (-) over Blue Devils- Duke (5-1, 2-0) is one of the surprise teams in the country. The Blue Devils have split prime-time matchups this season, beating Clemson and falling to Notre Dame, and now they get a chance to spoil Florida State's homecoming. Florida State (6-0, 4-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) have playoff aspirations and the Blue Devils have never defeated them in 21 previous meetings, but the contest still looms huge for the Seminoles. The Seminoles, have racked up at least 30 points in 12 consecutive games all wins dating back to last year. QB Jordan Travis is second all-time at Florida State with 9,218 yards of total offense, just 255 yards behind former quarterback Chris Weinke's record. Take FLORIDA STATE |

Mississippi at Auburn 7:00 ET Tigers (+) over Rebels- Mississippi (5-1, 2-1) is led by QB Jaxson Dart iwho s completing 64.1 percent of his passes through six games for 1,638 yards with 12 touchdowns and just two interceptions. He's also on pace to rush for more than 600 yards. Auburn has struggled through the air against LSU and may look to other options. Auburn holds a 35-12 lead in the all-time series, including a 17-3 mark at home. Ole Miss took a 48-34 win last year in Oxford. But, the Tigers will win here on defense. Take AUBURN! |

10-21-23 | Minnesota +4 v. Iowa | 12-10 | Win | 100 | 20 h 32 m | Show | |
Minnesota at Iowa 3:30 ET Golden Gophers (+) over Hawkeyes- How this Iowa team is ranked in the Top-25 shows how huge the drop id after the Top-10. Really, the were the ‘toughest’ contest for Penn State and loss 31-0. Minnesota has had two weeks to lick their wounds after a 52-10 beat down by Michigan. Iowa ‘s offense (HA) gained just 247 yards a game rand is ranked #133. Gophers in great spot with two weeks to prepare..one thing tho...Hawkeyes have won eight straight in the series going 6-1-1 ATS. Not this time...take MINNESOTA! |

Penn State at Ohio State 12:00 ET Buckeyes (-) over Nittany Lions- Penn State has been outrageous dominating their opponents with what is the No. 1 defense in college football allowing just 194 total yards per game. They also lead the nation’s with a low of 3.4 YPP and a 49.4% completion rate. Now, here’s the rub, they have played UMass, Illinois, Northwestern, Delaware and oh yeah Iowa out-scoring these ‘powers’ 236 to 33. This time out they will be overwhelmed in the second half as they have yet to play ‘hard’ a full 60 minutes. Take OHIO STATE! |

Jacksonville at New Orleans 8:15 ET Saints (+) over Jaguars- Three seems to be the key number in this match-up as the Jaguars have won three straight while New Orleans has dropped 3-of-4 with their win coming over hapless New England. Last week public seemed to gravitate against Jacksonville after their stint in London and were surprised at the ease in which they beat the Colts. Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence is banged up but is expected to play while Derek Carr who sat out the previous week had 353 yards passing in last weeks loss and that would be more than enough this week. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

James Madison at Marshall 7:00 ET Thundering Herd (+) over Dukes- James Madison is 6-0 and still trail two other clubs Georgia State and Old Dominion in the Sun Belt East and now they will meet their toughest foe the the season on the road. Marshall has dropped their last but are 18-4 straight-up when coming off consecutive losses. This include 8-2-2 ATS as home underdogs to undefeated teams. I expect them to win outright but will be happy to take the points. Take MARSHALL! |

Dallas at LA Chargers 8:15 ET Cowboys over Chargers- How bad can a team look...just review the Cowboys/49ers game last week and you could get a good idea. Dallas was totally out played on both sides of the ball and looked like anything other than a Super Bowl contender. The Chargers always seem to be that team that you think is better than they really are or at least to the level of their performance which falls short more often than not, LV opened the season with a pair of losses and then rebounded with wins over Minnesota and Las Vegas before getting last week off. Granted Justin Herbert will be the better quarterback to play today but the Cowboys can play defense. Take DALLAS! |

Philadelphia at New York Jets 4:25 ET Jets (+) over Eagles- Talk about a one-sided series and match-up! Philadelphia is 12-0 lifetime against the Jets and have outscored the ‘Green Slime’ by a 335-195 margin dating back 60 years (Ha), I guess the beat-goes-on. The different between the starting quarterbacks could not be more pronounced as Wilson is in his third year struggle and Hurts has become a superstar. The Eagles are soaring into this encounter 5-0 but will be without both defensive ends which will help New York powerful ground game. look for the Jets to fly over the soaring Eagles. Take NEW YORK JETS! |

Detroit at Tampa Bay 4:25 ET Buccaneers (+) over Lions- Detroit already has a 2-game lead in the NFC North and will travel to meet last years NFL South Division winner. Tampa bay has shown more than what is expected from them so far. The Buc’s have turned to QB Baker Mayfield this season and it appears that he has matured into the position with seven TD passes and better decision making. Tampa is off a bye week after smothering the Saints 26-9 and rely on a defense that has 12 sacks and 10 forced turnovers. The Lions are beset with injuries and their will be no Androcles to hell their wounds. Take TAMPA BAY! |

10-15-23 | Patriots +3 v. Raiders | 17-21 | Loss | -115 | 16 h 0 m | Show | |
New England at Las Vegas 4:05 ET Patriots (+) over Raiders- My goodness, the Patriots look worse than any expansion team since the original Tampa Bay Bucs when led by John Mckay. New England’s only win this season came against the Jets and they were completely out-played but were aided by Zach Wilson dismal performance. Las Vegas is off a win over green Bay where the Packers did all the could to lose the game and they did despite Raiders coach Josh McDaniels poor in game decision making. Former Patriots QB Jimmy Garoppolo leads the league in interceptions and Belichick despite lesser talent will get over on this one. Take NEW ENGLAND! |

San Francisco at Cleveland 1:00 ET Browns (+) over 49ers- This is getting silly...I know the Niners have been impressive and that Cleveland is down a man at quarterback, but these are still professionals and they all have to man-up when the going gets tough. Yes, Purdy is 10-0 and undefeated as an NFL regular season starter and they just destroyed the impostor Cowboys but, things change on a dime in the NFL. Deshaun Watson is out and replacement Dorian Thompson-Robinson admittedly is terrible which will force the Browns to use their strong running game and a defense that is allowing the fewest yards per game at 196.8. Take CLEVELAND! |

Carolina at Miami 1:00 ET Panthers (+) over Dolphins- This is NOT a misprint! Yes, Miami (4-1) is off to their best start in 20 years and Carolina (0-5) to their worst start ever and are the only NFL team with a victory. A pair of former Alabama QB’s will be leading the way with Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa’s who was a mentor to Bryce Young and has 1,614 yards passing. Young has been abused as most rookie quarterbacks are on a huge leaning curve. Dolphin’s will be without explosive running back De’Von Achane and five other starts are either out or questionable. Take CAROLINA! |

NC State at Duke 8:00 ET Wolfpack (+) over Blue Devils- After the way Duke blew the Notre Dame game and cover and I have a sour taste in my month when thinking of this Blue Devil squad. NC State brought in former Virginia QB graduate transfer Brennan Armstrong and he wasn’t able to do the job with the Cavaliers and has been ever worse with the Wolfpack and has been replace by MJ Morris. Duke has been resting since that debacle two weeks ago and may have trouble getting focused. Take NC STATE! |

Miami-Fl at North Carolina 7:30 ET Hurricanes (+) over Tar Heels- How about those Hurricanes! Coming back from a decade of misery Miami-FL was on track to be considered one of the NCAA Finalist and a poor coaching decision and a defensive breakdown squandered their opportunity to remain a contender. North Carolina has one of the and expect Drake Maye to be a first round draft pick but, he will be up against an angry bunch who look to atone for their grave error. Miami led 20-17 and could have knelt on the ball to end the game on a third-and-10 play, as there was just 33 seconds left and the Yellow Jackets had no timeouts remaining, but instead the Hurricanes ran the ball and fumbled it. Moments later, Georgia Tech's Haynes King tossed the game-winning touchdown pass. North Carolina is 13-11 against Miami and has won four straight games in the series. The Hurricanes haven't won in Chapel Hill since 2017. That all changes here. Take MIAMI-FL! |

10-14-23 | USC v. Notre Dame -2.5 | 20-48 | Win | 100 | 19 h 33 m | Show | |
USC at Notre Dame 8:00 ET Fighting Irish over Trojans- Notre Dame (5-2) is coming off last weekend's 33-20 loss at then-No. 25 Louisville. Irish quarterback Sam Hartman completed 22 of 38 passes for 254 yards and two touchdowns, but he also threw his first three interceptions of the season. Here comes Southern Cal a perfect 6-0 into the Golden Dome where the Fighting Irish are laying in wait...(like USC alum OJ). Expect the same result! I believe that Notre Dame is better balanced and cam actually play defense. Last week USC escaped Arizona 43-41 in triple overtime posted the victory despite being out-gained 506-365. Saturday will mark the 94th meeting between the programs, and the Irish hold a 50-38-5 advantage in the all-time series. USC won 38-27 last season in Los Angeles and turn-about is fair play. Take NOTRE DAME! |

Missouri was undefeated and gave LSU everything they had for three quarters before the Bayou Tigers prevailed. The Tigers are a well balanced solid club that has beaten Kentucky seven of eight and have only been the favorite twice and they can beat you a number of different ways.The Wildcats QB Devin Leary has completed just 54.8 percent of his passes for 1,257 yards and 12 touchdowns, with five interceptions, this season. Take MISSOURI! |

Iowa at Wisconsin 4:00 ET Badgers (-) over Hawkeyes- The Hawkeyes have grown used to getting the best of Wisconsin against the number. The Badgers are not an explosive team and never have been as they a ground and pound machine which keep most games rather close especially when play a team with the same likeness, Iowa is always defense first and has been out-gained by 1,031 net yards over the past three games so when these two get together we don’t expect many fireworks. Meanwhile, Wisconsin is 3-0 SUATS with revenge in this series and the defense has been keeping opponents out of the end zone, allowing less than 15 PPG in their three consecutive victories. The Badgers are 8-0 ATS as home favorites of less than 12 points with revenge. Take WISCONSIN! |

Oregon at Washington 3:30 ET Ducks (+) over Huskies- Here is the Pac-12 folding and this is the first time both No. 7 Washington and No. 8 Oregon have been ranked in the Top 10 when meeting in the rivalry's 123-year history. This contest features a pair of quarterbacks who are Heisman Trophy candidates: Oregon's Bo Nix and Washington's Michael Penix Jr. Both the Ducks (5-0, 2-0 Pac-12) and Huskies (5-0, 2-0) are coming off bye weeks that helped them get healthy. Penix is averaging 399.8 yards per game with 16 touchdowns; Nix has an 80.4 completion percentage with 15 TDs. The Huskies defeated the Ducks 37-34 last season in Eugene, Ore., on a 43-yard field goal with 51 seconds remaining. Revenge will be sweet for a team ranked in Top-10 on both offense and defense. Take OREGON! |

Wake Forest at Virginia Tech 3:30 ET Hokies over Demon Deacons- It will be homecoming for the Hokies (2-4, 1-1), who are coming off a 39-17 road setback against then-No. 5 Florida State. Wake Forest (3-2, 0-2 ACC) is facing a two-game skid, and has had shortcomings on offense, especially inside its opponent's 20-yard line, which has eight touchdowns in 23 red-zone trips this season. The Hokies have won six of the last eight meetings between the teams. The Demon Deacons haven't won in Blacksburg since 1983, though they've only made two trips there since then. Take VIRGINIA TECH! |

Fresno State at Utah State 8:00 ET Aggies (+) over Bulldogs- Utah State has overcome a 1-3 start with consecutive wins over UConn and Colorado State but neither of those schools is in the same class as Fresno State. Head coach Jeff Tedford is pushing all the right buttons at Fresno, off to a 15-5 start in his second stint at Fresno State. The Bulldog offense was slowed considerably by Wyoming in their first loss last week, Utah State may be able to replicate that work. and they can score at least. Take UTAH STATE! |

Denver at Kansas City 8:15 ET Broncos (+) over Chiefs- I noticed that Russell Wilson is the third rated (106,1) quarterback in the NFL behind Purdy and Tagovaloa, but he doesn’t pass my personal eye test as he has lost a step and goes not to easily. That being said Denver overall has been a major disappointment as their overall play is so substandard especially their defense. Now, Kansas City is who we believe they are am I am wondering just how serious they are taking the Broncos as they have defeated them an unbelievable 15 straight times. The Chiefs are not worried about the Broncos have next week off followed by a home game against the Chargers and may not be fully focused...I hope! Take DENVER! |

West Virginia at Houston 7:00 ET Cougars (+) over Mountaineers- At 4-1 West Virginia has been a surprise as the defeated TCU in Dallas Two weeks ago and have been resting with a bye since Sept. 30. Houston is a disappointing 2-3 with their wins coming over Sam Houston and UTSA not exactly powerhouses. Cougars coach Dana Holgorsen was the head man at UWV from 2010-2018 and this is his first meeting against his former club. QB Donovan Smith is more than capable having thrown for 336 yards in the loss to Texas Tech. Take HOUSTON! |

Green Bay at Las Vegas Raiders 8:15 ET Raiders over Packers- It did not long before the Las Vegas faithful started to turn on their ‘team.’ Week after week Raider fans are selling their game tickets to visitors that travel to Las Vegas for fun and to root their ‘home’ team. Both clubs are off terrible performances as Green Bay was crushed by Detroit and Las Vegas struggled against the Chargers a rookie Adian O’Connell was forced into action as Jimmy Garappolo was sidelined with concession issues. With ‘Jimmy G’ back the Raiders have the edge over Jordan Love. Take LAS VEGAS! |

Dallas at San Francisco 8:20 ET Cowboys (+) over 49ers- A rematch of NFC’s playoff contenders that have met in the post season the past tow years with the Niners winning both. San Francisco along with Philadelphia are the two remaining undefeated NFL squads. The Cowboys have three wins of 20 points or more and the 49ers have a pair of 18-point victories.

New York Jets at Denver 4:25 ET Broncos over Jets- I know what I saw last week and I still am having difficulty processing the results. Denver who we know stinks rallied against Chicago last Sunday with washed-up Russell Wilson leading the way. New York impressed a national audience against Kansas City and got the cover with Zach Wilson playing the best game of his three year career. Talk about an over reaction (people now think that Zach can actually play football) to the Jets QB. The Broncos gained some much needed confidence and are at home where they can they beat the Jets. Take DENVER! |

Mahomes passer rating is at 92.0 and that is 13 points below his career average. Minnesota dropped their first three games before posting a come-back win at Carolina and have a quarterback in Kirk Cousins ranking No. 3 with 287 YPG and No. 1 with 27 completions per game.

Atlanta has a second year QB in Desmond Ridder who is struggling in this league (I am being kind) but, they do have one of the best young runners in the NFL in Bijan Robinson. There has been an over-action to the Texas winning a few game an they come back to reality this week as the Falcons grind this one out with their superior run game. Take ATLANTA! |
