Take Saint Louis.

This is my LVSM

Game 527.

5:00 pm pst.

Travis Ford has his Saint Louis team a pre-season fav to take the A-10. This is a team that runs at a fast pace, with a deep, and experienced squad. Seton Hall had problems with the Nebraska back court, so facing Bess, Goodwin, and Isabell, is going to be a nightmare. The Pirates lost a ton of talent and their leadership from last season. Coach Ford wants this early, signature win. Take the Billikens. Thank you.

SATURDAY IS PAYDAY as I have my BIG TEN WEST GAME OF THE MONTH, my 24-5 TEN DIMES PLAY, my 29-10 NO LIMIT PLAY, my 24-7 UNDERDOG GAME OF THE MONTH, and my 20-4-1 HIGH ROLLER PLAY. You wanna' get paid? Then follow me!

Saturday's FREE NCAAF WINNER: Boston College.

Game 399.

12:30 pm pst.

Even if QB, Anthony Brown is sidelined here, this line should be closer to a TD. Adequate backup, EJ Perry can still exploit the 110th ranked pass defense of Florida State. BC can crutch on RB, AJ Dillon (936 YR, 8 TD's), while the Eagle's defense overmatches one of the worst offensive units in college football. Boston College is 16-3 ATS the last 19 regular season games, 6-1 ATS the last seven games vs. teams with a losing record, 12-3-1 ATS the last 26 conference games, and 19-7 ATS the last 26 road games. Take the Eagles. Thank you.

Take Fresno State.

This is my HR.

Game 422.

7:30 pm pst.

Fresno State needs a win here to lock up the MWC West. This is a team that comes off a loss after a 7-game win and cover streak. The Bulldogs own the #5 stop-unit in the nation, yielding just, 13.5 PPG, while possessing an offense ranking 16th, averaging 38.1 PPG. San Diego State has no offense to compete here, score for score. The Aztecs are 1-6 ATS the L7 meetings in this series. Take Fresno State. Thank you.

Take Rice.

This is my UD GOM.

Game 395.

4:30 pm pst.

At 1-10 SU, Rice is just deplorable. The Owls are 0-6 SU as a road team this season. But, one good thing about being so bad...huge point spreads. They get the bettors paid, going 4-2 ATS on the road in 2018, while covering three straight as an underdog of 24 or more points. LSU has not won a game by a margin of this size since September of 2014 (56-0 vs. Sam Houston, 63-7 vs. New Mexico State). With a record of 0-5 ATS the last five vs. non-conference opponents in Baton Rouge, and having Texas A&M up next, it's just too many points to lay here. Take Rice. Thank you.

Take Washington State.

This is my NO LIMIT.

Game 378.

7:30 pm pst.

Washington State is no longer an under-the-radar secret. The Cougars lead the PAC 12 North, with a 6-1record in the conference, en route to a 9-1 overall mark (both SU and ATS). The big mismatch here is the Wazzu #1 ranked passing unit, going up against the 91st ranked pass "D" of 'Zona. They get payback from last year's, 58-37 loss to the Wildcats. Take Washington. State. Thank you.   

Take Syracuse.

This is my TEN DIMES PLAY.

Game 367.

11:30 am pst.

In a game set in Yankee Stadium, there is no home field advantage for Notre Dame here. As a matter of fact, there will be a large amount or Orange in the stands. The Fighting Irish are a solid football team, however, they still haven't played a top-tier opponent since a Week 1meeting with the Wolverines. Making Eric Dungey (2193 YP, 14 TD's in the air and 690 YR, 12 TD's on the ground) and a Syracuse offense that's posting, 44.4 PPG a 10.5-point underdog, is an early Christmas present. This is a team that had Clemson on the ropes back in September. The Orange is 5-2 ATS the L7 neutral site games, 4-0-1 ATS the L5 non-conference games, 9-1-1 ATS the L11 games following a SU win, 9-3 ATS the L12 games vs. teams with a winning record, and 7-2-1 ATS the last 10 overall games. Take Syracuse. Thank you.

Take Iowa.

This is my BIG TEN WEST GOM.

Game 323.

12:30 pm pst.

This line opened up at -16, and I liked it then. As a successful "contrarian" gambler, I love when the general public is against me. Illinois is 0-5 ATS the L5 games played as double digit underdog and now with the teams only offensive weapon, RB, Reggie Corbin, banged-up (foot, check status), I don't mind laying the wood here with an Iowa team looking for a little redemption after three straight losses. The Hawkeyes have won the L4 years over the Fighting Illini, by an average of, 20.5 PPG (3-1 ATS). Take Iowa. Thank you.

Take UT-Arlington.

This is my ATR.

Game 712.

10:00 am pst.

UC-Davis has been point spread poison, going 0-4 ATS this season. The Aggies just don't have the personnel to contend with a scrappy, Mavericks squad that is 4-1 ATS the L5 at home and 27-10 ATS the L37 non-conference matchups. Take UT-Arlington. Thank you.  

Take Portland.

This is my VI.

Game 703.

3:05 pm pst.

In the first meeting, about a month ago, Washington pulled off a 1-point, OT, win. This is just about the only bright spot for the Wizards this season. This game is all about rebounding, and Portland is very good on the boards, ranking 1st offensively, and 13th defensively. The Trailblazers are 4-1 ATS the L5 vs. the Eastern Conference, 2-5 ATS the L7 vs. the NBA Southeast, and 7-3 ATS the L10 overall. The Wizards are 0-6 ATS the L6 vs. the western Conference, 2-5 ATS the L7 vs. the NBA Northwest, and 5-12 ATS the L17 overall. Take Portland. Thank you.

Take Pittsburgh.

This is my Crusher play.

Game 471.

10:00 am pst.

Pittsburgh lost both meetings to Jacksonville LY, including a mid-January matchup that got them bounced from the post-season. Right now, these are 2 very different teams. The Steelers have won 5 in a row, both SU and ATS, while the Jaguars have dropped their L5, both SU and ATS. Jacksonville is known for their pass defense, but haven't faced a top-tier QB of the caliber of Big Ben, since a Week 2 meeting with Tom Brady and the Patriots. Leonard Fournette is back but he must line up against the #4 rush defense in the NFL. The Jags are averaging just, 17.8 PPG which won't be nearly enough for a Steelers "O" accounting for over 31.0 PPG. The Road team is 5-0 ATS the L5 meetings in this series. Take Pittsburgh. Thank you.

Take the Los Angeles Chargers,

This is my AFC WEST GOM.

Game 468.

1:05 pm pst.

Don't look now, but the Chargers are striding, with 6 consecutive SU wins. I don't have a problem laying a TD with LA as they return home to a friendly, Stub Hub Center crowd after 2 road wins and covers. They face a rival, Denver team that is on a 1-6 SU and 3-5 ATS slides. Philip Rivers is having another great season (67.3% CR, 2459 YP, 21/4), but it is Melvin Gordon that will take this game on his shoulders. The standout, RB, goes up against the 26th ranked rush defense of the Broncos. Denver is 3-11 ATS the L14 on the road, 0-6 ATS the L6 in November, and 5-15-1 ATS the L21 overall. Los Angeles is 5-1 ATS the L6 vs. losers, 6-0 ATS the L6 in November, and 4-1 ATS the L5 overall. Take the Chargers. Thank you.
