In this Issue #17 of the VIFW, we will cover all of the bowl games between December 20th and December 26th, starting with the Frisco Bowl on Wednesday between Louisiana Tech & SMU and wrapping up with the Cactus Bowl between Kansas State & UCLA. Between those two games we will cover nine others. For each game, we again offer feature game coverage, including stats, matchups, editorial, our popular Strength Ratings, and of course, picks from our group of handicappers. If you like what you re getting from our coverage in the Weekly of the bowl games, you ll get at least twice that if you pick up a copy of the Vegas Insider College Bowl Guide, available online now for just $ The much anticipated publication was released this past Tuesday night and has been a huge hit for us already. Readers have been thrilled with not only the amount of coverage we have provided of the bowl games, but also by the uniqueness of the coverage. From the early feedback we have gotten, it seems that readers are very pleased with the results. Now, back to Issue #17 of the Vegas Insider Football Weekly this week, besides the next 11 bowl games on tap, we of course cover the NFL action for week 16, and just two regular season weeks remain. There are still plenty of playoff spots and seeding left to be determined. Our NFL feature article for the week takes a look at turnovers and how using turnover statistics can help you in late season handicapping. You might be surprised to see some of the findings, so we encourage you to check that piece out. NFL picks were solid last week, ATS on consensus plays, and Best Bet leader VI Jim was ATS on his overall plays and ATS on his Best Bets. He was also the top individual capper in the early bowl games, going 3-2 ATS in the first five contests. In his premium online selections, he hit three of the first four bowl games he posted to run his December record to 8-3 ATS! Our NFL Power Ratings also posted a huge ATS record and are now a sparkling 58% for the season. A $100 bettor would be at +$1590 this season had they simply played our NFL Power Ratings for feature games. Best of luck this week on all of the great action, and please accept our warmest wishes to you and your families for a wonderful Christmas Holiday.

5 AUGUST 30 SEPTEMBER 3 NFL VI BEST BETS Football Weekly Jim says I typically don t have any biases against teams in the NFL, but despite three straight wins, I still don t believe Dallas is playing very well, and as such, I don t believe they are worthy of playing as a 4.5-point favorite to Seattle in this game with huge playoff stakes attached. Yes, I know that RB Ezekiel Elliott will be back this week, however, I don t know if it s reasonable to expect that his return warrants overpricing. This game has late field goal written all over it. I m guess they line variation I see has more to do with the Seahawks woeful outing last week against the Rams. However, if any team has shown the ability to flush a bad game, it s HC Pete Carroll s group. This particular system shows the chances of a Seattle bounceback are good: Play on Road underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points in a game involving two average teams (+/- 3 PPG differential.), after scoring 9 points or less last game. The system is 23-5 ATS in its L28 opportunities, and it doesn t come up very often. At the same time, Carroll boasts a record of 9-2 ATS when coming off back-to-back losses as coach of Seattle. I ll ride with QB Russell Wilson & Co. this week as they push the Cowboys to the limit. Jason says The Rams are coming off a huge win at Seattle and with that game having nearly wrapped up the division crown, it would be easy to expect a letdown for this week at Tennessee. Does that mean I m ready to load up and go against them on Sunday. Not at all, instead it leads me to believe that a flat Rams team might not perform as well offensively this week as it did in the win at Seattle, a 41-point outburst which probably led to this total starting a couple points higher than I thought it would. In that game, the Rams ran the ball 43 times in dominant fashion against just 23 pass attempts. I would expect HC Sean McVay to lean heavily on the ground game again in this one. On the other sideline, there is a misperception that has been around for the last couple of seasons that Tennessee is a big OVER & scoring type of team. Those beliefs should have been wiped out by the results of the last two months, where the Titans have scored just 18.8 PPG in their L8 contests. However, they ve also been pretty stout defensively as well, giving up just 19.4 PPG, and that includes a single 40-point outing by Pittsburgh. The Titans have also held eight of their last nine opponents to 90 yards or less on the ground. Let s back an UNDER in this game for several reasons. Doug says Kansas City has righted the ship and wraps up another AFC West title with a victory over Miami. What we are seeing from the Chiefs is not new when it comes to complete turnarounds. This year s 5-0 start, followed by 1-6 downturn, leading to winning their last two games has more or less been done before by K.C. In 2015, Kansas City won opener and proceeded to drop five in a row. Next, like magic, the Chiefs for some reason got blazing hot and reeled off 10 consecutive wins, including one in the playoffs. Though 10 points might sound like a lot for Kansas City to give to Miami, the Chiefs defense can rattle Jay Cutler in miscues. Additionally, the offense is back to scoring almost 30 PPG in past three outings. The Chiefs continue winning ways with victory. 4 THE GLOBAL LEADER IN SPORTS GAMING INFORMATION

6 Football Weekly NFL STRENGTH Three different types of time-tested strength ratings have been created for use in the publication. In the chart below, you ll find the ratings, along with potential edges shown for the upcoming games. The Power Ratings columns RATINGS are in-house ratings kept and maintained manually for every game throughout the season. The Effective Strength (Effective Strg) Ratings quantify a team s performance against varied schedule strengths. Finally, the Bettors Ratings (Bettors Rtng) are built using a unique formula of a team s closing lines in relation to its past opponents and game performances, giving a good indication of how bettors feel about a team. Each rating is built exclusive from the others, and thus has its own merits. Track the results of the ratings weekly and see which one works best for you. Edges are given when a projection varies 3.0 points or more from an actual line or total. BRD Power Ratings Effective Strg Bettors Rtng # s Teams Actual Rtg Line Edge? Proj Edge?

7 AUGUST 30 SEPTEMBER 3 Football Weekly 6 USING NFL TURNOVER STATISTICS FOR LATE SEASON WAGERING Turnovers are one of the hardest statistical measures to utilize in gauging team strength. The unfortunate reality is that in many cases, turnovers are fluke plays, and anything that is unpredictable naturally throws a wrench into the handicapping process. Teams scoring averages or yards per point averages can be greatly influenced by when, how many, and where on the field turnovers occur. Being a numbers man myself, grading games that were greatly affected by turnovers gives me nightmares. With all of that said, there is the other argument. Turnovers are major factors in which team wins a game, and winning games builds momentum, particularly in the NFL, where the talent disparity on rosters is far smaller than at the college ranks. In other words, it s little things that can make a team good or great, below average or awful. Thus, the turnover, or the turnover statistic can be quite impactful when determining how a season goes for a team. What we are interested in finding out though is whether or not turnover statistics can be used to handicap future games. To get that answer, I ve taken the game logs for the second half of the last 5+ seasons, or since 2012, and detailed game-by-game the turnover stats for each of the teams and then referenced them to the end results of those games. As you ll see in a little while, I was able to come up with some usable findings, things that you may choose to employ in the final two weeks of the regular season and the upcoming playoffs. Let s start digging into my findings. We ll start by simply looking at some of the generic statistics. Note that these stats include all games in which both team had played at least eight games prior, and includes playoff results. Home teams committing fewer offensive turnovers on the season than their opponent are SU & ATS (53.8%) Road teams committing fewer offensive turnovers on the season than their opponent are SU & ATS (52.7%) Already we have a blanket winning strategy. By simply backing the team that turns the ball over less of offense, the winning percentage is 53.2%. Home teams forcing more turnovers on defense on the season than their opponent are SU & ATS (50.9%) Road teams forcing more turnovers on defense on the season than their opponent are SU & ATS (51.4%) At this point, we know that just by taking the team with edges in turnovers on either offense or defense will earn you more wins than losses. However, it is a bit more impactful to back the team that turns the ball over less offensively than those forcing more turnovers on defense. Home teams with a better turnover differential on the season than their opponent are SU & ATS (50.6%) Road teams with a better turnover differential on the season than their opponent are SU & ATS (50.4%) Again, home and road teams with turnover differential edges are above.500 against the spread, but barely. So far, our early conclusion is that teams that avoid the offensive turnover better are the most sound wagers. Let s move on to the combination, teams that are better in both not turning it over offensively AND forcing turnovers defensively. Home teams with turnover edges on BOTH offense & defense on the season than their opponent are SU & ATS (54.5%) Road teams with turnover edges on BOTH offense & defense on the season than their opponent are SU & ATS (54.7%) Not surprisingly, combining the offensive and defensive edges for teams gives us an uptick in both outright and against the spread winning percentages. Taking either home teams or road teams with edges in both turnover statistics has proven to be a very solid strategy. Going 54.5% in the NFL at any point is noteworthy. How about the degrees of separation of the teams? Let s take a look at that. Home teams committing at least 0.75 fewer offensive turnovers on the THE GLOBAL LEADER IN SPORTS GAMING INFORMATION

8 Football Weekly season than their opponent are SU & ATS (66.7%) Road teams committing at least 0.75 fewer offensive turnovers on the season than their opponent are SU & ATS (47%) These are obviously very conflicting results, where home teams with a large offensive turnover edge are a 67% winning wager, and road teams are under.500. Moving on to defense Home teams forcing at least 0.75 more turnovers on defense on the season than their opponent are SU & ATS (48.7%) Road teams forcing at least 0.75 more turnovers on defense on the season than their opponent are SU & ATS (47.3%) Home teams with an offensive turnover edge and playing as underdogs are SU & ATS (48.4%) Road teams with an offensive turnover edge and playing as favorites are SU & ATS (52.3%) Road teams with an offensive turnover edge and playing as underdogs of 0 to +3 points are SU & ATS (53.3%) Road teams with an offensive turnover edge and playing as underdogs of +3.5 points or more are SU & ATS (53%) The line information here doesn t supply us with a whole lot of distinction, although, the home small favorite group ATS % is encouraging. Here are the same defensive numbers: Neither of these systems nets us positive results against the spread, so it would seem that oddsmakers are making the proper adjustments for teams forcing a lot of turnovers. Now, regarding differential Home teams with a better turnover differential of at least 1.0 on the season than their opponent are SU & ATS (51%) Road teams with a better turnover differential of at least 1.0 on the season than their opponent are SU & ATS (49.5%) Both of these differential systems are hovering right around.500 and thus not worthy of further delving into. Let s get back to the combination, teams that are better in both not turning it over offensively AND forcing turnovers defensively. Home teams with turnover edges on BOTH offense & defense of at least 0.75 on the season than their opponent are 12-3 SU & ATS (64.3%) Road teams with turnover edges on BOTH offense & defense of at least 0.75 on the season than their opponent are 9-5 SU & ATS (61.5%) While the results are encouraging, the number of samples is obviously trimmed down a lot, so of little use to us. Now let s see how lines affect the results. Home teams with an offensive turnover edge and playing as favorites of 7-points or more are SU & ATS (53.7%) Home teams with an offensive turnover edge and playing as favorites of 0 to -6.5 points are SU & ATS (56%) Home teams with a defensive turnover edge and playing as favorites of 7-points or more are SU & ATS (53.6%) Home teams with a defensive turnover edge and playing as favorites of 0 to -6.5 points are SU & ATS (49.7%) Home teams with a defensive turnover edge and playing as underdogs are SU & ATS (49.2%) Road teams with a defensive turnover edge and playing as favorites are SU & ATS (53.2%) Road teams with a defensive turnover edge and playing as underdogs of 0 to +3 points are SU & ATS (44.4%) Road teams with a defensive turnover edge and playing as underdogs of +3.5 points or more are SU & ATS (57.8%) Highlighting that last bullet point, we show a winning system on larger road underdogs with defensive turnover edges. We ll dig into that more later. Here are the same line results for turnover differential: Home teams with a turnover differential edge and playing as favorites of 7-points or more are SU & ATS (52.7%) Home teams with a turnover differential edge and playing as favorites of 0 to -6.5 points are SU & ATS (51.1%) Home teams with a turnover differential edge and playing as underdogs are SU & ATS (43.8%) Road teams with a turnover differential edge and playing as favorites are SU & ATS (52.6%) Road teams with a turnover differential edge and playing as underdogs of 0 to +3 points are SU & ATS (46.3%) VISIT VEGASINSIDER.COM FOR THE LATEST IN SPORTS GAMING INFORMATION 7

9 AUGUST 30 SEPTEMBER 3 Football Weekly 8 Road teams with a turnover differential edge and playing as underdogs of +3.5 points or more are SU & ATS (50.5%) Compared to the offensive turnover statistic, the ATS results concerning differential are quite flat, and its seeming more and more evident that Turnover Differential shouldn t be a big part of your statistical handicapping arsenal. How does the degree of the statistic reflect anything? In other words, how do the league leading or worst teams in categories fare? Teams averaging 0.75 or less offensive turnovers per game are SU & ATS (59.1%) when matched up against a team that averages more. Teams averaging 2.0 or more offensive turnovers per game are SU & ATS (45.2%) when matched up against a team that averages less than that. Teams averaging 0.75 or less defensive turnovers forced per game are SU & ATS (51.7%) when matched up against a team that averages more. Teams averaging 2.0 or more defensive turnovers forced per game are SU & ATS (46.4%) when matched up against a team that averages less than that. Teams with a turnover differential of -1.0 or more are SU & ATS (46%) when matched against a team with a turnover differential of better than that. Teams with a turnover differential of +1.0 or more are SU & ATS (47.8%) when matched against a team with a turnover differential of worse than that. Again, we see that following the teams with the lowest offensive turnovers is our best strategy, while fading those at the extreme ends of the turnover differential statistic makes most sense. That latter point is because these teams results are probably skewed by turnovers most, and their performance returns to normal. Summary So, we have learned that offensive turnover statistics are more relevant than defensive turnover statistics towards predicting future results, and that teams that turn the ball over offensively the least are our best wagering options. We were able to find a 67% system that backed home teams with an offensive turnover edge of 0.75 or greater. I will of course look for those games myself down the road. However, I want to go a bit further with the combination edge I found on both road teams and home teams with offensive and defensive turnover edges being sound wagers. I want to apply the line filter to this to build a larger sample system that we can turn to. Here is what I came up with. Teams with both offensive & defensive turnover edges are SU & ATS (55.1%) when favored over the second half of the last 5+ seasons, including & ATS (60.6%) since December 15. In the end, it seems that playing teams with offensive turnover & defensive turnover edges is a reasonably sound strategy, with a heavier reliance on the offensive category. Don t overhandicap the differential however, it may send you wayward NFL Turnover Statistics (Per Game as of 12/18/17) Team Offensive Rank Defensive Rank Differential Rank Arizona Atlanta Baltimore Buffalo Carolina Chicago Cincinnati Cleveland Dallas Denver Detroit Green Bay Houston Indianapolis Jacksonville Kansas City LA Chargers LA Rams Miami Minnesota New England New Orleans NY Giants NY Jets Oakland Philadelphia Pittsburgh San Francisco Seattle Tampa Bay Tennessee Washington THE GLOBAL LEADER IN SPORTS GAMING INFORMATION

That was shown on Indianapolis fan sites, wondering if the Colts should draft a quarterback if Andrew Luck needs another surgery. No mentions of games, just this as a lead story. With an offense that has reached 300 total yards once during their five-game losing streak, this is understandable. After being last in passing nearly the entire season, Baltimore is feeling good about itself as they march towards the postseason with YPG passing in the last three outings. Joe Flacco and his receivers have found a connection and with the Ravens defense having forced 15 turnovers in last five contests, the mission of this game is just keep improving until its playoff time.

Next is having a bye for the first week of the playoffs and that quest continues this week at the frozen tundra. With how the Philadelphia defense has played the past two weeks, the Vikings are emerging as the NFC s most complete team. Minnesota is 8-18 SU recently at Green Bay however. Mike McCarthy has a tough choice, play Aaron Rodgers and place him at risk or play Brett Hundley and see if he can increase his trade value.

How good are the Lions, no easy answer to that question. However, when reviewing their schedule based on what we know today, Detroit is 7-0 (6-0-1 ATS) against teams that have a.500 or less record and we know where Cincinnati fits into that equation. If the Lions are aggressive at first and take away the Bengals urge to want to play, they should win and cover. The Bengals are going through the motions lately and it is nearly impossible seeing them being overly concerned after yet another bad loss and coaching change coming. For betting purposes, it seems like Detroit or pass.

The Carson Chargers can only try and win the last two games and hope fate gives them another opportunity for the playoffs. Ultimately, a 0-4 start left the Chargers with no margin of error. If coffee is for closers, than the New York Jets must be drinking too much green tea and feeling relaxed late in games, being outscored in the fourth quarter. To upset the L.A.

That Rams team went to the Super Bowl and won it and who knows what this young group is capable of, leading the league in scoring differential. If winning matters and doing so with flair in Los Angeles is important, the Rams bandwagon should be adding seats and they can win the division with a victory. Tennessee only has itself to blame for current mess, losing at Arizona and at San Francisco. Having to regroup against an offense as potent at the Rams will not be easy and likely needing quite a few more points than 21.1 PPG (season average) will be just as troubling.

The Browns have a -25 turnover margin after being 0-4 in the loss to Baltimore and this game would appear to be the last shot not to enter the history books as a 0-16 winless team. Nonetheless, Cleveland s odds are not good, as they have lost 19 consecutive road games. Plus, coach Hue Jackson is openly questioning if rookie QB DeShone Kizer is actually making any progress in football intellect. The Chicago running game has turned into feast or famine and the ultimate scoring results are a reflection of this. Coach John Fox s conservative nature is possibly keeping the scores closer, but is not helping the development of the team. This has to be a scary game for Bears fans and backers.

To get the best performances out of Cam Newton, let him play his game. Understand Newton has unique abilities that do not fit quarterback models and let him play his game and hope he avoids big hits. In what looks like a ridiculously loaded NFC playoff race, the Panthers have to keep winning, hope New Orleans stumbles, then they ll win the division. At this point we cannot forecast the future, but on Monday night Jameis Winston proved he has the ability to blossom as a NFL quarterback and needs a better supporting cast. While we do not know for certain, was that Tampa Bay s last big effort of the season, now at 4-10?

The Saints did not play their best game in the triumph over the Jets and will have to bring more focus and execution to earn a season split with the Falcons. In the game two weeks ago versus Atlanta, New Orleans had 50 rushing yards and they will need at least their season average of 135 to win and cover. Atlanta passed their first division test on MNF and still has a chance to repeat as NFC South champions with two more victories.

In the Broncos past two wins, we see what they do best. Denver is a run-first offense, which sets up play-action passing while the defense can stifle opposing teams if not placed in terrible field position series after series. Washington hopes - win one, lose two - trend does not continue after beating Arizona. The Redskins were fortunate to come away with the W, but as we NFL bettors understand, any win is a good one. If Washington cannot do better than 50 yards rushing, the amount they have averaged in their last three outings, the Skins assuredly will fall to defeat against Denver.

This Chiefs season is more like a play, as we are in Act 3 - The Offensive Renaissance. After averaging a pathetic 13 PPG in November (29.5 PPG in first 8 games), like Austin Powers, K.C. has their mojo back and is scoring 29 PPG this month. A victory over Miami gives the Chiefs a second straight AFC West crown. Bears fans have long known and now Dolphins backers do also.

Buffalo is on the cusp of ending a 17-year playoff drought and they have to play at New England. Nevertheless, if there is one aspect Bills fans currently know better than anyone else, making the playoffs is never easy. What can Buffalo do to enhance its chances of winning? Effectively run and pass and score touchdowns in the red zone. And by having a +2 or greater turnover margin. Of course the Patriots will have a say in the matter after their fortunate win at Pittsburgh. It has become impossible to say anything new about Tom Brady other than he is the best. This New England squad is far from great, but No. 12 and HC Bill Belichick gives them a chance every week.

For the Jaguars, who had lost 63 of their past 80 games, that is a show of respect. Jacksonville wins its first division title in 18 years with a victory this week and has one of the hottest quarterbacks this month in Blake Bortles. With the Jags defense and Bortles doing a Joe Flacco impression from 2012, this is a dangerous club. Speaking of treacherous, what about San Francisco and Jimmy Garappollo, winners of three straight? Garappollo has improved week to week, almost unlike any quarterback in recent memory. As compared to their 4-10 record, the 49ers are 7-7 ATS and present a real challenge to Jacksonville.

For instance, having two blocked kicks and a blocked punt, which they suffered against Philadelphia, wasting Eli Manning s fine performance. Next for the Giants is a trip to the desert and they will face an Arizona defense that is 4th in yards per pass play allowed is 6th in run defense. In spite of several excellent defensive numbers, Arizona should know by now that QB Blaine Gabbert is only a stop gap measure. No question he is not all to blame for the Cardinals kicking nine field goals and scoring zero touchdowns in last two games, but he deserves the lions share.

Rams, Seattle appears to be on the downside of extended playoffs arc. For all intents and purposes, this is an elimination game for the Seahawks and Dallas. Seattle s weakened defense was on full display against the Rams and the offensive line was whipped for all four quarters. With no dependable running game to lean on, either Russell Wilson saves Seattle or their playoff chances sink further. The Cowboys were inches away from losing at Oakland, but they survived and will now welcome back Ezekiel Elliott. The Dallas running back might not be in game shape, however, he will have fresh legs and immediately will energize the Cowboys offense versus a depleted Seattle stop troops.

For HC Mike Tomlin s team, finishing the regular season the right way and securing a No. 2 seed is the new priority. That would give Antonio Brown more time to heal and be ready when it counts. Expect a steady dose of Le Veon Ball and for the Houston secondary to be really tested. If Tom Savage cannot return from concussion, that means more T.J. Yates for the Texans. With teams not fearing Houston the run game, they can play tight press coverage and blitz Yates, forcing him to make perfect throws.

The Raiders are uniquely imperfect, as this team s colors should be black and white, since there has left no room for gray. They are play well or fail, with little in between. Oakland better deliver or this turns into a Christmas blowout. While Nick Foles might deserve the spotlight in replacing Carson Wentz, what might matter more is the Philadelphia pass defense. They have committed numerous mistakes lately and have been picked apart the last couple games.

22 Football Weekly NFL OBSERVATIONS For football bettors and fans alike, unless you had New England and the UNDER or were just watching the Patriots and Steelers for enjoyment, the one play was unsatisfying. An outstanding contest became diminished by a rule, though correct as written, needs to changed. Please do not tell me it s the rule. While true, not all rules are correct or even make sense. A good example, it s against the law to fall asleep with your shoes on in North Dakota. Anyone who saw Jesse James catch Ben Roethlisberger s pass knows he caught it. This nonsense about completing the catch is malarkey. If James catches the ball and everything that occurred is exactly the same, but he rolled into the end zone with the ball in his one hand, it s a touchdown. Every week we have unnecessary situations that seemingly could be avoided. I m all for getting the call correct. Yet when we have one picture frame of player having one butt cheek in the end zone, while the other cheek is out of bounds in the next picture frame (Packers vs. Panthers game), we are trusting technology too much. (Carolina ended up with touchdown on reversed call.) Please do not think this is sorry grapes, I had no rooting interest in either game. It just saddens me millions of dollars go back and forth on situations that should not be this difficult. THE RUN IS ENDING (FOR NOW) For Green Bay and Seattle, the current window is closing, at least for the moment. The Packers and Seahawks have fantastic quarterbacks. Both franchises have become too dependent on Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson in spite of weaknesses in other areas, hoping they can mask them. No question, injures have hurt both teams, but this is not news in the NFL. Free agency, salary cap, questionable drafting and incorrect decisions have hurt both teams. Even if Rodgers had been healthy, the Green Bay defense is a liability. The Seattle offensive line has been under repair for at least three years running, with no solution in sight. With teams like Minnesota, the Los Angeles Rams, Philadelphia (with Carson Wentz), Carolina, Atlanta and even Dallas all appearing to have better personnel, this will be a big off-season for both teams. Seattle could still slide into the postseason, but they would be underdogs and quickly dismissed. HOW GOOD IS JACKSONVILLE? New England and Pittsburgh are the class of the AFC. But it is silly to blow off Jacksonville entirely. The Jaguars permit the fewest points in the NFL at 14.3 per game and rank 3rd in total yardage defense. They lead the entire league in score differential at +166 points, as all those years of having high draft picks is finally paying off. Taking the load off Blake Bortles and going run-first changed the offense. This month, the former Central Florida quarterback is playing like Joe Flacco, late season 2012 version. (Baltimore won Super Bowl and Flacco got paid.) Bortles has never looked more confident and his decision-making is better than at any point of his career. You would not think Jacksonville would be a threat to the Patriots or Steelers, however, this is the NFL! NFC DOMINANCE IN NON-CONFERENCE ACTION This week wraps up non-conference play. The NFC will have a terrific field in the postseason, with the AFC not looking nearly as strong. This has shown up in the head to head matchup this season, with the NFC having a commanding edge. Against the spread, the AFC has done better against the closing line, yet still trails ATS. NFL BETTING NUMBERS For sportsbooks, the only good news was handle was down in the NFL, otherwise, it would have been a complete disaster. Favorites were a perfect 16-0 and ATS on the closing line, though most books had a push with San Francisco at -2, since that is where most of their money was located. According to ESPN Stats and Information, favorites had previously won every game during a NFL week twice since the 1970 merger. That was in Week 9 of the 2005 season and Week 5 of the 2006 season.

23 AUGUST 30 SEPTEMBER 3 Football Weekly FOOTBALL LINE MOVES Welcome back to another edition of Line Moves, looking at all the biggest betting moves in the NFL and for this week s bowl games. Besides this, we also offer free picks (61.5% on Best Bets) on these contests. BOWL GAMES GASPARILLA BOWL DEC. 21 -(215) TEMPLE vs. (216) FLOR. INTERNATIONAL 8:00 ET ESPN Both of these teams offenses got hot late in the year, which has helped push the total from 53 to 56. At the same time, it is fair to say both defenses have been fairly generous in giving up points, which lead us in the direction of thinking we might have referees raising both arms skyward frequently. Our View Play Over POTATO BOWL DEC (219) CENT. MICHIGAN vs. (222) WYOMING 4:00 ET ESPN When oddsmakers released the spread on this game, there was a question if Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen was going to play and the game was sent out as a Pick. With practice having resumed, reports have Allen at least 90 percent healthy from should injury and the Cowboys saddle and odds have been adjusted to -3. The biggest factor in this matchup, turnovers, with Central Michigan No.1 nationally in forcing them with 31 and Wyoming tied for second with 30. I prefer the way the Chippewas ended the season at 5-0 SU and ATS. Our View Central Michigan covers HAWAI I BOWL DEC (227) HOUSTON vs. (228) FRESNO STATE 8:30 ET ESPN Maybe the tropical breezes are supposed to relax the defenses, because the total shifting from 46 to 49 is more vexing than wearing a Hawaiian shirt and plaid shorts. Fresno State has been an excellent defensive squad all year. Houston will have speed edges that might be the difference in making big plays, yet hesitant to go that direction at this time. Our View Lean Under CACTUS BOWL DEC (233) KANSAS STATE vs. (234) UCLA 9:00 ET ESPN In researching this bowl, came across someone s explanation why UCLA would go from a Pick to +2 against Kansas State. This individual stated that the Bruins are well known for not playing well in minor bowl games. The last time UCLA played in a meaning bowl was the 1999 Rose Bowl, all they have done is play in secondary bowls. The Bruins defense is the worst of any team to earn a bowl bid. Our View Lean Kansas State covers NFL (105) DETT at (106) CINCINNATI 1:00 ET FOX With Detroit still in the playoff chase and Cincinnati playing like they cannot wait for the season to conclude, those betting football are roaring about the Lions and pushed them from -3.5 to -5. Detroit has to win out to even have a chance for the postseason in the stacked NFC and would be best served to attack and score early to see if the Bengals buckle. When facing losing teams in the second half of the season the last several years, Detroit is 12-4 ATS. Our View- Detroit covers (117) DENVER at (118) WASHINGTON 1:00 ET CBS In reading up on this nonconference clash, one of the stories from both teams perspective is will John Elway target Kirk Cousins as his quarterback for next season? This is an interesting storyline on many levels. Another aspect of this matchup is the total falling from 42 to 41. This has potential with the Broncos defense playing with more vigor and the Washington offense averaging 16.7 PPG the last month. Plus, let not forget Denver averages 15.1 PPG on the road. Our View- Lean Under (123) JACKSONVILLE at (124) SAN FRANCISCO 4:05 ET CBS Jacksonville can wrap up AFC South by beating San Francisco. For starters, that sentence would have never been thought of back in August. Next, it really gets strange as the Jaguars are slipping as favorites from -5.5 to -4.5 against the Niners, who are on unimaginable three-game winning streak. There is nothing fluky about Jacksonville, yet at the same time the 49ers are playing solid football. Think about this; a Blake Bortles vs. Jimmy Garopollo matchup actually matters! Our View- Lean San Francisco covers 22 HEART OF DALLAS BOWL DEC (229) UTAH vs. (230) WEST VIRGINIA 1:30 ET ESPN Have to admit, the side and total on this bowl game has me perplexed. It was already known West Virginia quarterback Will Grier was out, thus, what forces are pushing Utah from -4.5 to -7 and causing the total to lift from 54 to 57? One can make a stronger case for the total going up, given each team s track record and potential, but the side, tough call. Our View Leans Utah covers and Over (125) N.Y. GIANTS at (126) ARIZONA 4:25 ET FOX With Arizona having not scored a touchdown in two games and kicking nine field goals, the Cardinals will bench Blaine Gabbert and go back to Drew Stanton at QB this week against the Giants. That is among the reasons for the side total to dip a point to Though New York scored 29 points last week, that is a rarity for a team averaging 16.3 PPG and Arizona continues to ring up few points themselves, coming in at 17.3 PPG.

25 AUGUST 30 SEPTEMBER 3 Football Weekly COLLEGE FOOTBALL VI BEST BETS VI Jim says I speak often of how motivation might be the most important factor in deciding which team will best show up for their bowl game. I have to ask then, what is the motivation of a team like Temple for this contest? The Owls were in better bowl games the last two years and come into this game as a 6-6 team expected to cover a TD pointspread. Considering the offense scored just 24.8 PPG this season, it might be a tall task. On the other sideline, I can see plenty of motivation for FIU. The Panthers have enjoyed a stellar season at 8-4 and are getting a chance to play in front of their home state fans in this game. Though not as successful or publicized as Lane Kiffin at FAU, Butch Davis has done a great job at FIU, and has the team one win away from a school record 9th victory. I would say this FIU team should have plenty to play for in Tampa. VI Jason says...even with HC Chad Morris being lured away from SMU and being replaced by Jeff Traylor for this game, I still believe the Mustangs boast an elite offense that will be a challenge the likes Louisiana Tech will not be able to contain. At 40.2 PPG, SMU scores nearly two touchdowns more per contest than Louisiana Tech, a team that has often this season been inaccurately compared to previously prolific Bulldogs clubs. In my opinion, HC Skip Holtz just doesn t have the firepower to keep up this season with other top notch offensive units. With a total of 70 for this game, I m guessing the experts feel that this will be an offensive dominated affair. In which case, why wouldn t you take the better offense? Tune in to this game to see QB Ben Hicks of SMU hook up early and often with wideouts Trey Quinn & Courtland Sutton. You will enjoy the show. SMU cruises. VI Doug says South Florida went toe to toe on the road with unbeaten Central Florida, but lost in the waning moments by seven. If you have not seen Quinton Flowers play quarterback, you have to watch. Flowers runs the No.9 offense in the country that is equally adept at running (265 YPG) as it is at passing (243 YPG). Flowers is a true dual threat and the running backs and receivers have outstanding speed and they do everything in a hurry, averaging 84 plays a game. South Florida s defensive looked good in allowing 343 YPG and should know what to expect. South Florida has edges they can exploit against a pedestrian Texas Tech defense with their speed. Plus, Flowers gives the Bulls a decided edge at quarterback. USF is the way to go. VI Matt says from the conference bowl article in this pub you can see that underdogs have gone ATS in 38 bowl game matchups between the Big 12 & Pac 12 since 95, and the Big 12 is on a run of 13-5 ATS when catching points against the Pac 12. As such, WEST VIRGINIA could be in a good spot against Utah, especially since this Utes team at 6-6 doesn t seem to be real deserving of the line respect it is getting from oddsmakers. Let s not go too far with heaping praise on West Virginia, as the Mountaineers have been a disappointment in That said, I would think that this pointspread alone would be enough for HC Dana Holgorsen to motivate his troops. They are also capable offensively of getting back in this game should they fall behind, and with Qb Chris Chuganov having extra time to get ready after the Will Grier injury, I would expect the WVU offense to not miss a beat. Take them as the underdogs.

The Power Ratings columns are in-house ratings kept and maintained manually for every game throughout the season. The Effective Strength (Effective Strg) Ratings quantify a team s performance against varied schedule strengths. Finally, the Bettors Ratings (Bettors Rtng) are built using a unique formula of a team s closing lines in relation to its past opponents and game performances, giving a good indication of how bettors feel about a team.

27 AUGUST 30 SEPTEMBER 3 Football Weekly COLLEGE BOWL WEEK TIDBITS This article was excerpted from our Bowl Guide get the full article as well as the rest of the publication by clicking on any of the appropriately tagged links on our website In studying bowl games for the last 25+ years or so, I ve developed a checklist of key things to consider outside the norm of every day, every game football handicapping. I have always believed that the bowl games offer the bettor the best chance at success, since the time to prepare is unmatched on the yearly schedule, especially considering the knowledge you have of the teams after 12 or 13 games. It s not like the beginning of the season when each team s prospects are defined by questions marks at so many positions. Handicapping the fundamentals at this time of the year is as straightforward as analyzing one team s stats against another and sprinkling in adjustments for schedule strengths. That part of it relatively easy. However, oddsmakers have this as a part of their routine for setting the lines too. Therefore, in order to be better than them, and to achieve the success level that the professional bettors do, you have to go further. In my opinion, my seven factor checklist for bowl games does just that. they did a year ago, in Birmingham nonetheless. Blah! - Appalachian State vs. Toledo How do bowl game rematches factor into a team s psyche? We should find out in the Dollar General Bowl, where Appalachian State and Toledo meet in a rematch of the 2016 Camellia Bowl won by the Mountaineers. However, ASU was the favorite in that game and the shoe is on the other foot this year, with Toledo being the superior team and clear #1 rep out of the MAC. Northern Illinois vs. Duke I always question the motivation of teams from power conferences when they get matched up against upset minded smaller programs. My experience has shown me that they tend to get up more for the big bowl games and less for the lower tier ones. However, MAC teams have lost 14 straight bowl games to power conference foes, and Duke surely doesn t want to be a team out of the ACC that ends that skid. Much of the analysis I get into in the bowl guide is stuff that is difficult to quantify, but it can prove to be the difference in whether or not a team shows up for its bowl game. Be careful though, as in most cases, the exterior factors that can affect a bowl game happen all the way up until kickoff. Here are some different situations I picked out for this week s upcoming games that might factor into which team shows up : 26 UAB vs. Ohio U What UAB accomplished in its first season back after a 2-year hiatus from college football was remarkable. Surely fans and administration at the school would have settled for a few wins, right? Instead, the Blazers have received a bowl bid and a fantastic reward, a trip to the Bahamas to play that game! However, they have been a different team away from home, where they were 6-0, and it wouldn t surprise me to see UAB fully content with what it has already accomplished. Texas Tech vs. South Florida Texas Tech knew it had a bowl berth on the line when it went to Austin and beat the Longhorns in the season finale. My speculation is that the Red Raiders definitely wanted to extend their season. South Florida had huge hopes for 2017 but lost games to both Houston & UCF to settle for the AAC s #3 bowl bid. On top of that, the Bulls are playing in the same bowl game THE GLOBAL LEADER IN SPORTS GAMING INFORMATION

28 Football Weekly BOWL GAME MATCHUPS Frisco Bowl (213) LOUISIANA TECH [SU:6-6 ATS:6-6] VS (214) SMU ( ) [SU:7-5 ATS:6-6] DECEMBER 20, :00 PM on ESPN - TOYOTA STADIUM (FRISCO, TX)[NEUT] Season PPG FD RUSHING PASSING YPPT PPG FD RUSHING PASSING YPPT TOD PDIF LOUISIANA TECH [4.6] [7.1] [4.8] [7.0] SMU [5.0] [8.2] [5.0] [8.9] Louisiana Tech had to win their last two contests to be bowl eligible and completed the task. This was not the same Bulldogs bunch that has been to a pair of conference championships the last four years. The offense was not nearly as potent in scoring 28.2 PPG and while the stop troops had their moments, they were better at forcing turnovers at the right time, with a bend but don t break mindset. SMU comes in leaking oil by losing three of their last four outings and is a costly 1-6 ATS of late for supporters. Don t blame the SMU offense, as the Mustangs were consistently stellar in averaging 40.2 PPG (No.8 nationally).

But this Owls crew did not give up and closed 3-1 and continues their unprecedented bowl streak. What changed? Basically it was making offensive and defensive plays at right time and not stopping themselves like in previous outings. If Temple is balanced on offense and if it at least does a fairly good job stopping the run, the Owls can win and cover. Similar to Lane Kiffin, Butch Davis arrived at Florida International and took his broad coaching background at high level programs and helped his players understand what it takes to win. The 8-win regular season tied the school record and a bowl victory would set a new standard of excellence at FIU. The Panthers offense was rolling the last third of the season at 39.5 PPG. The FIU defense is ordinary at best, thus, if both offense click as expected, the Over will have possibilities.

How pumped will the Blazers be! Ohio U. was the best team in the MAC East, but suffered two confounding losses and failed to make the conference title game.

30 Football Weekly BOWL GAME MATCHUPS If you saw QB Josh Allen as a sophomore, all the plaudits he received about being a NFL quarterback appeared true. So how does Wyoming end up scoring 22.3 PPG, with a passing game that finished 102nd? It is a complicated answer, but the basics were mediocre passcatchers, a lousy offensive line, a conservative game plan. It all added up for a junior quarterback that lost confidence and regressed. Allen s exact status is unknown with a shoulder injury. The Cowboys defense actually kept the season afloat in permitting only 17.8 PPG and they will need a strong effort to slow CMU.

We have not seen or heard anything, but beating Texas in the season finale and making bowl a game might have bought K-squared a reprieve. This year s squad lacks pizzazz, yet still had really good offensive numbers. However, nobody is ultra-excited about QB Nick Shimonek. The Red Raiders defense was its usual awful self most of the season, but played better late and gave up only 24.6 PPG in its last trio of tilts. South Florida has to look at Central Florida in the Peach Bowl and wonder how they lost to them and Houston, out-gaining both by at least 65 yards. Regardless, the Bulls did not get the job done and cannot be too thrilled about returning to same bowl game. If USF is motivated to play, being able to watch QB Quinton Flowers direct the offense is worth watching since he is an outstanding playmaker with his arm and feet.

The Army has the best rushing offense in the country and they will either test the eighth-best run defense in San Diego State or they will be tested. Besides the offense, what has turned the Black Knights into a winning football program is a defense that held opposing teams to 20.9 PPG, after conceding nearly 32 PPG from 2012 to It was another odd season for San Diego State. The Aztecs upset Arizona State and Stanford, looked to be all but certain to play for another MWC championship yet in the middle of the season lost at home to the actual participants in that contest.

Appalachian State was a co-champion in the Sun Belt. The Mountaineers had a couple of sloppy losses to UL-Monroe and UMass in the later stages of the season, but rebounded. ASU, as per usual, runs a nicely balanced offense and they averaged 33.4 PPG and did great work in having chunk plays, listed 19th in yards per play. Other than the perplexing performance in being routed by Ohio U., Toledo did not have another truly off performance. The Rockets enter the bowl season with the eighth-finest offense, highlighted by the No.20 passing offense. Because of how efficient Toledo has been, they build leads and cover up an ordinary defense, however, they might actually be better than anyone truly knows with the Rockets having played from out in front so often. Potential important element is Appalachian State was 1-5 ATS away from home (3-3 SU), while Toledo was 5-2 SU (4-3 ATS).

The Cougars had some ups and downs in Major Applewhite s first year at the helm, losing three times in games they had late leads, or were unfocused against beatable competition. Make no mistake, the Cougars have ability and possibly the time between games will allow Houston to have the right mindset. No such problems at Fresno State as Jeff Tedford walked right in and fixed the attitude of the players and program, and they responded immediately falling just short of a 10-win season after going The Bulldogs defense was bullish and is ninth in points allowed at 17.2 PPG. This group runs to the ball and gang tackles with purpose.

The Mountaineers offense scored 36.2 PPG, yet in defeat, seldom came thru in the clutch. They figure to not have QB Will Grier because of a nasty hand injury in the last contest.

The Huskies were thought to be in transition this season, but the defense came together quickly and once a quarterback was determined, NIU had another fine season. Against Duke, Northern Illinois will feature a defense that conceded a mere 2.6 YPR and two cornerbacks with NFL ability. If the Huskies can get the ground game motoring, an upset is likely. It was an odd season for Duke. The Blue Devils opened 4-0, turned right around and dropped six straight (0-5-1 ATS) but became bowl eligible with pair of outright upsets to close. The normally even keeled David Cutcliffe was not even sure what was happening. The Duke defense was tremendous in victory and so-so in defeat, with the offense a mystery from week to week all season.

They have an opportunity to avenge a loss to UCLA in the 2015 Alamo Bowl. Bill Snyder s longstanding success at Kansas State doesn t extend to bowl games, where his teams are 8-10 SU/6-12 ATS. However, watch to see if this will be Snyder s final game. If so, expect a huge effort from the Wildcats. Motivation always is a question when it comes to UCLA in a minor bowl, and this one comes with the twist of interim coach Jedd Fisch in charge, as Chip Kelly waits in the wings. Star QB Josh Rosen has been practicing after missing the second half of UCLA s last regular-season game, so K-State will have to slow down an offense that was fifth in the country in passing yards, 19th in total yardage and 31st in scoring.
