Syracuse +7 -105 at 5DIMES |

This is a Free #NCAAF play on the Syracuse Orange. The West Virginia Mountaineers were hoping to compete for a playoff spot this season, and Will Grier was won of the favorites to win the Heisman. Finishing the season with back to back heartbreaking losses leaves a cloud hanging around Morgantown heading into Bowl Season. When first asked about the Camping World Bowl, Will Grier said: “I have no thoughts or decisions,” Grier said. “I was planning on playing [in the Big 12 championship]. Just kind of taking it all in, my last game in Morgantown. Wish we would have came out on top, but we left it all out there for the fans.” The Orange are coming into this game with a chance to reach 10 wins, which would be considered a huge success for Dino Babers and company. The last time I bet on the Orange, they lost their starting quarterback early in the first quarter and ended up getting blown out by Notre Dame. Here is what I said prior to that game: "This a team that has already proved it can hang with the big boys, last year they handed Clemson it's only regular season loss. Senior quarterback Eric Dungey has been lighting it up with his arm and his legs. He's got a dozen rushing TDs and 690 rushing yards so far this season. The Orange have covered the spread in five straight non conference games, and they are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 against teams with a winning record. I'll take the points with Syracuse." Given the situation, I think the bookmakers are offering a generous number here on the underdog. Take CUSE. GL, Jesse Schule |

UNDER 142½ -105 |
Won $100 |
| Play Type: Top Premium | ||
|
This is a 10* play on [email protected] to go Under the total. When the Cornhuskers take on the Cowboys in Sioux Falls, SD on Sunday, I expect to see a defensive battle. Both these teams have played strong defense so far, but Nebraska has been really impressive only allowing 59.6 points per game. Previous head to head meetings have been really low scoring, going under in each of the last three. Oklahoma State won by a score of 53-52 in the most recent head to head meeting. Low scoring games are nothing new for the Cowboys, the under is 13-3-1 in their last 17 overall. They have also gone under in seven of their last eight neutral site games. Take Under.

Rams -10½ +115 at 5Dimes |
Lost $100.0 |

|
This is a 5* play on the LAR. It might seem like the bookmakers are asking a lot, pegging the Rams as a double digit favorite over the defending Super Bowl champs? Even thought Carson Wentz has been ruled out with a bad back, his replacement is the Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles. While Foles led the Eagles all the way last year, he took over on a winning team with a stacked backfield and one of the league's top defenses. Injuries have hit the Eagles hard, both in the secondary as well as at the RB position. The Rams will look to make a statement here, as people are calling them a fraud after they lost to the Bears in Chicago. Jared Goff would love to bounce back with another one-sided victory at home. Goff has been a completely different quarterback at home than he has been on the road. He has 18 TDs and just 2 INTs on better than 70 percent passing in LA, and he has as many picks (9) as he has TDs on the road. Take LAR. GL, Jesse Schule |

NFL | Dec 16, 2018 Seahawks vs 49ers |
Seahawks -4½ -104 at pinnacle |
Lost $104.0 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
This is a 5* play on the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks are playing the 49ers for the second time in three weeks, and they won 43-16 at home in the last meeting. The 49ers are high on Nick Mullens, and he's certainly moved the ball throwing for almost 1500 yards and nine TDs in five starts. He's still a rookie though, and he's made his fair share of mistakes. He's thrown as many picks (6) as touchdowns in his last four starts. Given that the Niners have lost 10 straight to the Seahswks dating back to 2014, I don't expect much from Mullens here in this game. The Seahawks are 11-2-1 ATS in their last 14 meetings, and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings in San Francisco. Take SEA. GL, Jesse Schule |

NFL | Dec 16, 2018 Patriots vs Steelers |
Patriots -130 at pinnacle |
Lost $130.0 |

This is an 8* play on the New England Patriots. Things are falling apart in Steel Town, and the last thing the Steelers need coming off three straight losses is a game against the New England Patriots. The Steelers have lost five straight to Belichick and company dating back to 2011, and two of those losses came at home at Heinz Field. New England has been a favorite in all five of those games, but the bookmakers are giving the Steelers more credit here this time around. Ben Roethlisberger is going to play, but he won't be 100 percent as he's nursing bruised ribs. He hasn't exactly been on top form lately, throwing six picks in his last four starts. The Steelers problems are nothing new, they have failed to cover in seven of their last eight games in December. They are also just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games. How could anyone bet against Brady and Belichick in this spot? I know I won't. Take NE. GL, Jesse Schule |

NFL | Dec 16, 2018 Cowboys vs Colts |
Colts -140 at sportsbook |
Won $100 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
This is an 8* play on the Indianapolis Colts. The Cowboys have won five straight, and people are calling them a Super Bowl contender. The Colts have won six of their last seven, and they aren't getting a whole lot of attention. So which one of these teams is for real? We'll find out on Sunday. One thing I can say with confidence is that the Colts have the better quarterback in Andrew Luck, who has thrown for 3,759 yards and 34 TDs this season. I would also give the Colts the edge when it comes to coaching, as I think Jason Garrett is lucky to have a job in the NFL. The Cowboys have been far better at home than they have been on the road, and the home team has covered the spread in four of the last five head to head meetings. My money is on the Colts to take advantage of a Cowboys team that I think has become grossly overvalued. Take INDY. GL. Jesse Schule |

NBA | Dec 17, 2018 Grizzlies vs Warriors |
OVER 210 -109 | |

|
This is an 8* play on [email protected] to go Over. The Warriors are back at full strength, with Draymond and Steph back from injuries. While they have won five of their last six, they haven't exactly looked that sharp. They lost a revenge game to the Raptors at home by a score of 113-93, and they needed to rally from behind to beat Sacramento. Their defense hasn't been very good, allowing and average of 110 points per game in their last six. The trends suggest that these teams have gone under more often than over, but the last two meetings both went way over the total. The Warriors scored 117, and 141 points in those games. I expect to see a high scoring first half here in Oakland. Take Over, GL, Jesse Schule |

Won $100 |

This is an 8* play on the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons are coming off a home win over the Celtics, snapping a six game losing streak. Detroit is still a solid 10-6 at home while Milwaukee is just .500 (6-6) on the road. The home team has won six straigh meetings straight up, and Detroit is 5-1 ATS in their last six versus Milwaukee. "We haven't done anything," Pistons coach Dwane Casey said during his postgame press conference. "We've got some momentum now but we still have a tough team coming in Monday night. It doesn't get any easier. I told the guys to enjoy it until midnight and think about the things we can do better." The Bucks are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 road games, and they are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win. Take DET. GL, Jesse Schule |

NFL | Dec 17, 2018 Saints vs Panthers |
Panthers +7 -140 at 5Dimes |
|
| Play Type: Top Premium | ||
|
This is an 8* play on the Panthers. Most people still consider the Saints to be the best team in the NFL, but if there is one weakness it is Drew Brees on the road. A week after losing to Dallas, the Saints put up just three poins in the first half at Tampa Bay. They went on to rally for a win and cover in the second half of that game, but tonight they face a different monster. Cam Newton and Riverboat Ron are still alive in the playoff hunt, and they won't be an easy out here at home in Carolina. Take CAR. GL, Jesse Schule |

WHO IS THE ICEMAN? He’s no soothsayer and he doesn’t have a crystal ball, but Jesse Schule can indeed predict the future. As a professional handicapper, it’s actually part of his job description. His clients have accused him of secretly possessing Marty McFly’s Sports Almanac, but he tells us the secret to his success is thanks in part to his fascination with history. The idea that you can predict the future by studying the past is nothing new. Historians have been doing it for years. Career Highlights: - Perfect 5-0 Super Bowl Card (2018) - Perfect 6-0 NBA Finals Futures (2017) - Perfect 8-0 card X-Mas Day (2016) - Perfect 8-0 NCAA Tourney picks Sweet 16 - Final (2015) - Picked Germany +$700 to win World Cup (2014) - Picked Marcus Mariota +$700 to win Heisman (2014) Handicapping Methodology: Jesse is not a believer in systems, programs or number crunching formulas to handicap games. He is firm in his belief that you aren't playing against the sportsbook, you are playing against the average Joe (other bettors). Jesse is notorious for attacking inflated point spreads, soft lines and totals that are a little out of whack. He also relies on a nearly photographic memory with an uncanny ability to tell you a player's history and stats dating back for decades. Anyone can look up how many touchdowns a guy has scored, Jesse can also tell you about the ones that he almost scored. Money Management: His plays are rated based on a 5-10 star system, and he recommends wagering 0.2 percent of your bankroll per star rating. So a top rated 10* play would represent a bet equal to two percent of a player's bankroll. Signature Plays: AFTERNOON EXECUTIONER: This title is reserved for games with a start time between 12:00 – 4:30 ET. These are popular with action junkies who are dying for the games to get underway. The TERMINATOR: Jesse's signature totals play, the Terminator has established a reputation as one of the most consistent winners in Schule's repertoire. TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE: These plays represent a game where the stats show a significant trend which isn't reflected in the price. GRIM REAPER BLOWOUT: His signature play reserved for medium to large favorites. High percentage plays for those who don't mind laying chalk. HOT DIGGITY DOG: This is the Iceman's signature underdog play. About as rare as strawberries in December, you'll want to grab these whenever they are available |
