This is a Free #CFL play on the BC Lions. The Toronto Argos are coming off a bye week, and their last game was a thrilling 42-41 comeback win over Ottawa. They were trailing by 24 points in the third quarter of that game, and were quite fortunate to have rallied for just their second win. Toronto has allowed opponents to average over 31 points per game this season, only the lowly Montreal Alouettes have allowed more. The Lions come in with just a 3-4 record, but they look a lot more dangerous since veteran Travis Lulay took over at quarterback. In four games as a starter, Lulay has thrown for 1,171 yards and five TDs. Three of those games came against the top three teams in the league (Calgary, Winnipeg and Edmonton). The Lions have won four straight at Toronto dating back to 2013, and I expect history to repeat itself here this week. Take BC. GL, Jesse Schule |

MLB | Aug 16, 2018 Cubs vs Pirates |
Pirates +1½ -155 at betonline |
Won $100 |

This is a 5* play on the Pittsburgh Pirates +1..5. The Cubs will be a favorite on the road at Pittsburgh Thursday, but I'll take the home dog in this spot. Jon Lester will toe the slab for Chicago, and he's had a fine season so far. Lester (12-5, 3.89 ERA) allowed nine runs on 10 hits in just 3 2/3 innings in a home loss to Washington his last time out. The veteran may be wearing down at this point in the season, as he's been hammered in four of his last five starts. Lester is 0-3 with a 10.32 ERA since the All Star break. He's 1-1 with a 6.15 ERA in two previous starts at Pittsburgh this year. The Pirates hand the ball to Ivan Nova, who is always pretty solid at home. Nova is 2-0 with a 2.84 ERA in two starts against the Cubs in 2018. Take PIT. GL, Jesse Schule |

Phillies -161 at betonline |

This is a 5* play on the Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies split yesterday's double-header versus the Mets, despite giving up a whopping 24 runs in Game 1. We should expect a pitcher's duel in Philly on Friday, and I'll take the home favorite. Aaron Nola will toe the slab for Philly, and he's lights out at home. Nola (13-3, 2.28 ERA) tossed six scoreless innings in a 5-1 win at San Diego his last time out. He's 1-0 with a 2.16 ERA since the All Star break, and 8-0 with a 2.07 ERA in 11 home starts this season. The Mets hand the ball to Noah Syndergaard, who has given up 10 runs while winning two of his last three starts. He allowed a pair of runs on four hits and two walks in four innings in a no decision in his only other start versus Philly this season. New York's bullpen ranks 26th in the majors with an ERA of 4.85. That could be the difference in today's game. Take PHI. GL, Jesse Schule |

OVER 37 -110 | |

This is a 10* play on [email protected] to go Over the total. Both the Bills and the Browns have talented young quarterbacks that are trying to establish themselves, and I expect to see plenty of offense as they meet in the second week of the pre-season. The Bills scored 23 points in a loss to Carolina in Week 1, but the most telling stat in my opinion was the fact that they called twice as many passing plays (39) as they did running plays (21). The Browns won their Week 1 game on the road at New York, and Baker Mayfield lit up the Giants for 212 yards and two TDs on 11-of-20 passing. He should have plenty of swagger in his step here at home, and I expect another big game from the rookie. Tyrod Taylor in under pressure to hold off Mayfield for the starting job, and he was pretty impressive in his own right against the Giants. He threw for 99 yards and a TD on 5-of-5 passing. Josh Allen, Nathan Peterman and AJ MacCarron all threw for over 100 yards last week. Take Over. 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 |
