AUGUST 30 SEPTEMBER 3 NFL VI BEST BETS Football Weekly Jim says Bettors in the NFL tend to have extremely short memories. Prior to beating New York this past Sunday, Denver had lost eight straight games. Now, because the Broncos shut out what is arguably the lowest talent roster in the NFL, now they are worthy of your betting dollar as a road favorite in a meaningless game for both teams? I should say not. Denver has been awful on the road this season, going 0-6 ATS while being outscored 30.5-13.5 on average. Indy HC Chuck Pagano has done a great job while coaching the Colts in getting his team to respond to losses, as they are 23-12 ATS in that scenario. He is likely on his last weeks with the team, but I can assure you that universally Pagano is well liked in the Colts locker room, and this team will not quit on him in the final three games. I would question that same attitude for a Denver team that was used to winning prior to this ugly campaign. Historically, the Colts have owned this head-to-head series, winning ATS in nine of the L10. This is a bettor s special that will be hard to watch. It will be even harder placing any trust in a listless Denver team as road chalk. I m taking the points with the Colts. Jason says Did wins over struggling divisional rivals Washington and the Giants make Dallas a good team again? It certainly seems like it judging by this week s pointspread in Oakland, where the Cowboys find themselves as questionable 3-point road favorites. Apparently this game has become must-win caliber for Dallas, and despite the fact that they are just one game better than Oakland in won-lost record, they are being treated much differently from that. I am personally not putting much stock into the wins over the Redskins and Giants, as both teams are beat up with very little to play for. Oakland probably has little but pride to play for, but pride will come from being a home dog to Dallas. Statistically, neither team has any major advantages, and neither is special. Take a look at the system: - Play against Favorites after covering the spread in 2 out of their last 3 games, a marginal winning team (51% to 60%) playing a marginal losing team in the second half of the season. The record of the angle is38-14 over the L52 tries. Dallas is a marginal team, not good enough to be a road favorite in what could be a difficult spot. Take Da Raiders. Doug says Even in the loss to the New York Jets, you could see Kansas City was going to find a victory soon and they did at home against Oakland with ease. The L.A. Chargers will not be as soft as a comforter, like the Raiders for the Chiefs. Philip Rivers is back to his salty self and with receivers having returned, the Bolts offense (and defense) has gone into another gear during this four-game winning streak in averaging 32.7 PPG and their talented defensive front seven has shut off opposing running games like a faucet the past three contests. I am well aware the Chargers have dropped seven in a row to K.C., nevertheless, they look like the better club and take control of the AFC West. 4 THE GLOBAL LEADER IN SPORTS GAMING INFORMATION

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?

Denver will seek more the same by running the ball and playing suffocating defense in the Hoosier State. The Broncos should be much more relaxed with their losing streak burden removed. Though Indianapolis lost in a Buffalo blizzard in OT, most of the players remarked how fun it was to play in those conditions. The Colts would be wise to play every young player the rest of the way and think about rebuilding the roster for 2018, because that is the future, with this season gone.

The defense will be after a similar showing because Detroit is last in rushing, leaving the Bears to turn full attention to Matthew Stafford and the Lions passing game. If Chicago can run the ball and stay aggressive in throwing, they have a shot at another upset. Though hardly in an ideal situation, Detroit knows a 10-6 record is their only possible pathway to the postseason and has to take of business in this divisional battle. With eight turnovers in the past three contests, the Lions understand even Chicago is a threat if they keep making those kinds of mistakes.

The Chargers take control with a victory and will be favored in their final two outings, while a Kansas City triumph would mean a sweep and they would own the tiebreaker. L.A. South is on a four-game winning streak and Philip Rivers has gotten hot with his full complement of weapons and is averaging 341.5 YPG passing in this period. The Chiefs offense got back on track in ousting Oakland and if they can get Kareem Hunt going in the running game, it opens up the whole offense for Alex Smith. K.C. s confidence should be high having won seven straight (5-2 ATS) in this rivalry.

As opposed to most teams, the Eagles have a backup quarterback that has won frequently in the NFL and they are not built exclusively around Wentz, with the No.2 running offense and No.6 scoring defense. Everything was in place for the Giants to knock off Dallas and they were right there to do so in the fourth quarter when New York reverted to who they are this season, getting blitzed 20-0 in final eight minutes. With how aggressive Philly coach Doug Pederson is, if Big Blue makes mistakes early, the Eagles will pounce.

Speculation has Aaron Rodgers returning, but either way the Packers will be underdogs the next two weeks and he will not make their defense better. The Pack s run defense has been carved up lately and they will have to deal with Cam Newton and Carolina s No.5 run offense. The Panthers can all but punch their playoff ticket by defeating both Bay s the next two weeks at home. Even if Rodgers returns, he s going to be a little rusty and protective of his shoulder.

With the season gone, pride is the only remaining reason for Cincy to play with purpose and it sure seems like coach Marvin Lewis is a goner. Expect Minnesota to attack a weakened Bengals secondary. In spite of a tremendous comeback, the Vikings were playing with a reshuffled offensive line in the loss to Carolina. They ll need to get everyone healthy to secure a first round playoff bye. For all teams like Minnesota facing foes like Cincinnati, the idea is to quickly build a lead and take away the opponents will to play, otherwise, they could be interested late.

The Bills starting quarterback will likely remain a mystery until later in the week, however, whoever gets the call, the best advice the Buffalo coach staff can give that individual is turnaround and hand the pigskin to LeSean McCoy, since he is their best option by a wide margin. These teams will meet twice in the final three weeks. With two straight wins, the Miami has given themselves a chance to return to the playoffs. Especially exciting was the improbable victory over New England. It will be imperative to the Dolphins to play with the same purpose and intensity in Buffalo, where they are 9-16 and 10-15 ATS most recently.

Yates expected to start for Houston, he might want to wear track shoes instead of cleats in trying to avoid the NFL s best pass rush. Though the Texans season was realistically over awhile ago, mathematically it is now official. If they could not muster up a ravaged roster at home to beat San Francisco, it s hard to imagine conjuring up a great showing against the Jaguars. Last Sunday was yet another example of how different Jacksonville is. After a couple of brutal defensive mistakes that brought Seattle back into game, the Jags did not lose their poise and cemented the contest away. Blake Bortles confidence is oozing presently and it s hard to imagine Houston bettors improving on the 10-5 ATS mark in north Florida.

After losing at Atlanta on with several interesting calls that went against the Saints, they will have extra time to calm down and focus on winning a division they still control.

That might not be a problem if the Redskins put up a third straight stinky performance.

Nonetheless, there were several positives. Joe Flacco and the passing offense showed a pulse and the offensive line whipped Pittsburgh in running the ball for 152 yards. With three very winnable games remaining, the Ravens could enter playoffs on fire. Speaking of winnable, Cleveland had a 95.9 percent chance to beat Green Bay in the fourth quarter according to ESPN analytics, until they did not. The Browns have in recent games done a great deal right, but crucial mistakes are destroying them. This version of Cleveland has not gone 0-8 at home since they rebooted team in 1999.

They also still control their own destiny. To win in Seattle, the Rams realize they cannot make the same miscues they just made against the Eagles and in the previous conflict with the Seahawks, when they committed five turnovers. If L.A. North plays a clean game, they can win. Seattle not only lost in Jacksonville, they failed to earn a tie for first place and lost their collective poise at the same time.

There was talk after the game that this is what championship teams do, yet the defense was atrocious most the night, with poor tackling and worse execution, which is hardly ideal preparation for facing New England. After two rugged come from behind victories, what will the Steelers bring? The Patriots are off a rare subpar-performance, where the offense and defense both were never in sync. The pressure is now on the Patriots but this is a situation they often thrive in, which makes this confrontation with Pittsburgh even more compelling. The Pats are 8-3 ATS (6-5 SU) in the Steel City.

No question his third season has seen regression, but what is the coaching staff doing about it? It was wellknown Mariota was not a traditional quarterback coming in, so why not play to his strengths? Use more play-action, roll Mariota out and simplify routes. The Titans should not give up 12 points to Cardinals and lose. Just two weeks in and it already appears San Francisco made the right choice in trading for Jimmy Garoppolo. He s poised, made a definitive leap in third down execution in one week, and exudes confidence. The early line even had the 49ers as favorites and with the way the defense is competing, the Niners could win again.

Dallas will take on a better opponent, Oakland, but one that also has a glass jaw and will cave when the going gets tough. Since being beat up in the more literal sense in Week 3 at Washington, this has not been the same Raiders team.

The extra rest can only help at this time of year and with how Tampa Bay is playing, this should only benefit the Falcons, who obviously need the wins more. Only Blake Bortles has more turnovers at the QB position than Jameis Winston since 2015, after he had three more in the loss to Detroit. There are reports of a growing rift between Winston and coach Dirk Koetter, and the Buccaneers continued sloppy play will always fall in the coach s lap.

AUGUST 30 SEPTEMBER 3 NFL OBSERVATIONS PHILADELPHIA IS HURTING BUT FAR FROM FINISHED The Eagles front office and Philadelphia fans were prepared for the worst on Monday morning and they got it when Carson Wentz was diagnosed with a torn ACL and is done for this season. I am quite certain that head coach Doug Pederson and his staff had already started working on how they would start altering the offense for Nick Foles as their starting signal caller. If you have a futures bet for Philadelphia to win the NFC or the Super Bowl, hold those betting slips. Yes, your odds have gone higher, but it is not over. Here is what we know, Foles will not be as mobile as Wentz, won t have the same arm strength, nor likely be the same decision-maker. However, Foles can improve the most on the last point just by playing and he will be surrounded by talented teammates. Tom Brady is the best quarterback in NFL history, but if he wasn t playing for the best coach and best organization that knew how to find and develop the best players, Brady would not have the same ring count. Philadelphia has the second-best running game and a better than most realize group of receivers. The defense had a tough time with the L.A. Rams in past game, yet that is not news against this rebuilt Rams squad, and they still emerged as the sixth-best scoring defense at 19.2 points per game. Though the NFC is loaded with talented squads, as long as the Eagles get the top seed, they would only have to face two of them, both at home, before reaching Super Bowl. As I have said many places besides here, if the 2000 Baltimore Ravens could win a Super Bowl with Trent Dilfer, the 2017 Eagles can with Nick Foles. Football Weekly Carolina made the trek two years ago, yet the offense does not seem consistent enough. Seattle is too dependent on Russell Wilson and the secondary is average because of injures without a pass rush. The L.A. Rams look like a more reasonable choice in 2018. Atlanta is still in the conversation, but these are not last year s Dirty Birds. THREE TEAMS TO BET ON THE REST OF THE SEASON Baltimore should have beaten Pittsburgh this past week but still covered the spread, leaving them at 4-1-1 ATS in their past half dozen tries. The Ravens should have no problems winning their last three games, facing Cleveland, Indianapolis and Cincinnati. If Joe Flacco continues to connect with receivers and the running game stays hot, Baltimore will enter postseason on a spread covering tear. If you have not seen Blake Bortles in recent games, he is playing like the quarterback Jacksonville actually drafted for. Backed with the No. 1 running offense, No. 1 scoring defense and top sacking unit, Bortles is playing with confidence and actually has chemistry with his receivers. Coach Doug Marrone not only wants to win the AFC South, but wrap up the No.3 seed. Look for the Jaguars to keep pushing. After losing three in a row, regular folks and football bettors were ready to bury Dallas. However, two convincing wins have the Cowboys looking sharper. Dallas can certainly handle Oakland on the road this week and most likely Seattle at home, then who knows what Philadelphia s situation will be in Week 17. The Dallas offense has stopped turning the ball over and while the Cowboys might not make the playoffs, that might be good news for everyone else in the NFC. 18 WHAT TEAM(S) SHOULD BETTORS LOOK AT ELSEWHERE IN THE NFC IF NOT PHILADELPHIA The most obvious choice is Minnesota. The Vikings defense is more sound overall than Philadelphia s. If their offensive line can get healthy enough to return to their season-long level, Minnesota will maintain Top 8 running status. They also have excellent receivers with exceptional individual skills that create diversity. Case Keenum has been consistent all year and as long as he avoids turnovers, the Vikings could reach the Super Bowl, and wind up playing at home nonetheless. New Orleans is the other team that comes to mind. The Saints offense is not at 2009 Super Bowl level, yet it is very effective in being fourth in points scored at 28.5 PPG. The defense, while not a shutdown group like the Eagles or Vikings, is ninth in yards per point allowed. NFL BETTING NUMBERS Though the numbers were not particularly in the sportsbooks favor, they got the key swing game that changed their weekend. Favorites were 8-7 SU and ATS on the closing numbers (Lions and Bucs was a Pick). Sportsbooks had strong winners on Carolina, Denver, Dallas and Baltimore, but ended up losing most of that cash on Atlanta, Kansas City, Jacksonville, Green Bay and the Chargers. However, Monday night changed everything, with Miami s flabbergasting upset of New England, which was not only a huge winner on Monday, but destroyed numerous parlay and teaser cards from the weekend. On the totals side, a killer week for the UNDER at 10-5-1. THE GLOBAL LEADER IN SPORTS GAMING INFORMATION

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. 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.

AUGUST 30 SEPTEMBER 3 Football Weekly COLLEGE FOOTBALL VI BEST BETS Jim says...it seems to me that the enormity of the line in the Akron-Florida Atlantic bowl game matchup is scaring off many bettors from even considering FAU. Don t count me among that group, as I personally believe that for HC Lane Kiffin and his confident team, beating the largest ever bowl pointspread will prove to be a highly motivating factor. Will a 21-point win be considered a disappointment for the Owls? Well, no, but that said, there is a reason these teams are separated by oddsmakers to the degree that they are. Kiffin is just the coach too that I would want for proving his own moxie in such an environment. Let s not forget, there haven t been a lot of people who have had the chance to watch FAU all that often this year, and they will have the Tuesday night football viewing all to themselves (with Akron I suppose). The Zips are without their best player in suspended QB Thomas Woodson, and there is a 23.7 PPG difference in what FAU scores at home to what Akron scores on the road. Also, FLA ATLANTIC is 8-2 ATS as a favorite this season, the average score was FLA ATLANTIC 45.4, OPPONENT 20.8. This line is accurate and FAU is capable of beating it. Jason says The reward for winning the Sun Belt Conference a chance to represent the league in the New Orleans Bowl each year. I ve heard people speculating that Troy has become pretty accustomed to playing in this bowl game that it won t be excited to be here. Hogwash! The Trojans goal was a conference title, first and foremost. Everything else was secondary. They will be proud to be in this game against a team that was thrashed in its conference title game, North Texas. Perhaps more importantly though, Troy owns huge defensive edges in this contest of 16.3 PPG and 1.0 yards per play. The Trojans are the better team, and I don t have any questions about their motivation. I ll lay the points here. Doug says The Cure Bowl will not be laden with excitement with Georgia State taking on Western Kentucky. Nonetheless, for my money the edge go to the Hilltoppers. Georgia State was outscored 270-217 this season and having watched them twice, their quarterback is either fairly accurate or not at all, especially when facing pass rush. Western Kentucky was not up to its usual standards offensively, having problems in the red zone and with turnovers. However, Mike White is still a good quarterback and his team should be able to put up at least 30 points on a not so speedy defense. All three of my models have the Hilltoppers winning by at least nine points and I will back that up. Matt says If you ask me, the line in this Camellia Bowl between Middle Tennessee State and Arkansas State was built using the teams entire bodies of work. In my opinion, it should be more accurately pegged for what they have done recently, as MTSU is a completely different team with QB Brent Stockstill under center. Since returning from injury four games ago, he has led the offense to 36 PPG and his team to a 3-1 record. Though just a 6-6 team overall, the Blue Raiders should be plenty fired up to be in Montgomery after that late surge. I m not sure the same can be said for Arkansas State, who blew a chance at another Sun Belt title by losing in the regular season finale. The Red Wolves also allow a hefty 34+ PPG on the road. With Stockstill playing, these teams are relatively equal in my eyes, I ll take MTSU.

The strength of the Mean Green is its offense which averages 35.9 PPG and is ranked 18th in total yardage in the country, while averaging 291 yards passing. Defensively, North Texas does not do much in allowing 33.8 PPG and they have been quite susceptible to the run, listed 108th and permitting over 208 yards per game. Troy was a Sun Belt co-champion and had a brilliant 10-2 (5-6-1 ATS) record. The Trojans defense was reminiscent of the teams that won or shared five straight SBC titles from 2006-10, in permitting only 17.5 PPG. The Troy offense is not a strong as their opponent s, but they still manage 30 PPG and throw for 267 yards per game. Don t forget this group won at LSU and the Trojans have some real speed edges across the board.

The Panthers had a sandwich season, losing their first and last two games and being a delicious 6-1 SU in the middle. Despite having the 31st-best passing offense nationally, Georgia State only scored 19.7 PPG. With no running game to speak of, they are dependent on QB Conner Manning and his accuracy remains an issue from game to game. Western Kentucky was nowhere near the same offense from previous years under new coach Mike Stanford, averaging just 26.2 PPG. Returning quarterback Mike White still led a passing offense good enough to rank No.9 nationally, but like Georgia State, they could not find the end zone nearly as often as needed. The Hilltoppers defense has similar numbers to their opponent but one aspect to consider, Western Kentucky was 2-4 SU on the road and the Panthers were 5-1.

The Ducks were quacking when he played early and later in the season and waddled in the middle. First-year coach Willie Taggert (update - took Florida State job) also brought back the work ethic on defense, as they went from 45.3 PPG allowed to 28.2 PPG. Oregon s speed could be the difference in Vegas versus the Broncos. Boise State won the Mountain West, but this is not a vintage squad like many from years past, lacking NFL-type players that would make rosters or at least get invites. Coach Bryan Harsin s twoquarterback system produced choppy results, even though the Broncos averaged 32.1 PPG. For the most part the Boise State defense did good work, but they did have issues with more prolific offenses and Oregon fits that category. The Broncos will need to control tempo and make this a more physical contest.

A minus-9 turnover margin has been the culprit and it will be imperative the Thundering Herd protects the pigskin. The Marshall defense conceded just 19.2 PPG and for the Herd to emerge victorious, they will have to play exceedingly well. THE GLOBAL LEADER IN SPORTS GAMING INFORMATION

MTSU allowed 24.2 PPG, but when they were not facing the weaker clubs in C-USA, the Raiders defense was giving up more than 30 PPG. Make no mistake, Arkansas State fits in the better offensive category. The Red Wolves state of mind has to be considered in this very minor bowl. Arkansas State was poised to tie for another SBC crown, but they lost to Troy and were shipped to this locale for the fifth time in seven years. Despite the loss, Arkansas State s offense is No.11 in the country and totals 38.5 PPG. QB Justice Hanson runs the sixth-best passing offense at 340.7 YPG and he has the receivers to either be quick-strike or move the chains continually.

AUGUST 30 SEPTEMBER 3 Football Weekly 24 COLLEGE BOWL GAMES HOT/ NOT COACHES AND TEAMS This first part of my weekly college football article with excerpted from our 2017-18 Bowl Guide. If you have not gotten your copy of that jam packed special issue, be sure to visit the website and click to any links or ads tagged as BOWL GUIDE. HOT & NOT COACHES IN BOWL GAMES It s not hard to understand, some coaches just do better than others in using the extra preparation time involved in bowl games to get their game plans cemented and their teams physically and mentally ready to play. After all, these are the key ingredients to being a successful coach. To me, Urban Meyer of Ohio State & Nick Saban have for long set the standard for getting teams ready with extra time to prepare. However, I think there is a new king of the court, that would be Dabo Swinney of Clemson. What the Tigers have accomplished in the playoff era is remarkable, and the fact that his team has covered seven straight bowl game pointspreads is a testament to Swinney s coaching ability. There are plenty of other solid bowl game coaches that fly a little further below the radar as well. As usual, the coaches whose teams perform better in bowl games is much longer than those whose don t, otherwise they probably wouldn t be coaching still. Here s a quick bullet point list of the success stories: Jeff Brohm (Purdue): Brohm s Western Kentucky teams were 3-0 in bowl games scoring 48.3 PPG Urban Meyer (Ohio State): 10-3 overall in bowl games Dabo Swinney (Clemson): Seven straight ATS wins in bowl games, 4-0 ATS in playoffs Nick Saban (Alabama): 8-4 SU & 7-5 ATS with Alabama in bowl games, never an underdog Ken Niumatalolo (Navy): 3-1 in L4 bowl games, four straight spread wins Doc Holliday (Marshall): Four straight bowl wins, defense yielding just 15.8 PPG Mark Dantonio (Michigan State): Upset victories in five of L6 bowl games for the Spartans Mark Richt (Georgia): 11-5 SU & 10-6 ATS in bowl games as a head coach, underdog only once Kyle Whittingham (Utah): 10-1 record in bowl games, 8-3 ATS Now, the underperformers: Bill Snyder (Kansas State): 5-8 SU & 3-10 ATS in L13 bowl games Mike Bobo (Colorado State): Team has only lost two bowl games but was favored in both Rick Stockstill (Middle Tennessee State): Team has lost four straight bowl games SU & ATS Dana Holgorsen (West Virginia): WVU teams are 2-3 in bowls but have lost four straight ATS Rod Carey (Northern Illinois): Four straight outright & ATS bowl game losses, average MOL 26.3PPG Kirk Ferentz (Iowa); Once a fixture on the success list, Iowa fans may be growing impatient after five straight bowl game losses (1-4 ATS) Gary Patterson (TCU): Only 2-6 ATS in L8 bowl games for TCU While this might be understating it, the coach factor is certainly one that has to be given consideration when wagering.

AUGUST 30 SEPTEMBER 3 Football Weekly TOP CFB HEAD TO HEAD TRENDS NEW ORLEANS BOWL - MERCEDES-BENZ SUPERDOME - NEW ORLEANS, LA (201) NORTH TEXAS vs. (202) TROY Having formerly been conference mates up until 2012, North Texas and Troy are among the few bowl foes this season that have an extensive head-to-head series history. The Trojans have taken seven of the L8 games between these teams while going 5-3 ATS. Three of the L4 games between these former Sun Belt rivals have gone OVER the total. LAS VEGAS BOWL - SAM BOYD STADIUM - LAS VEGAS, NV (205) OREGON vs. (206) BOISE ST Oregon and Boise State played a home-and-home series back in 2008 & 2009, with the Broncos surprisingly winning both games outright and against the spread. Boise State held the Ducks to 40 points in the two games, and the win at Eugene in 08 came via the upset, as the Broncos were 10-point underdogs in the contest. CAMELLIA BOWL - CRAMPTON BOWL - MONTGOMERY, AL (209) MIDDLE TENN ST vs. (210) ARKANSAS ST Arkansas State has beaten Middle Tennessee State three straight times with the most recent head-to-head matchup being in 2012. Most concerning for MTSU is that the Red Wolves put up 141 points in those three contests for an average of 47.0 PPG with an MOV of 32.7 PPG. Also of greater note, favorites have gone 9-1 ATS in the L10 of this h2h series.

Football Weekly FOOTBALL LINE MOVES Welcome back to another edition of Line Moves, looking at all the biggest betting moves in the NFL. (We also have bowl games edition in this newsletter) Besides this, we also offer free picks (61.5% on Best Bets) on these contests. COLLEGE FOOTBALL LAS VEGAS BOWL DEC. 16/ 3:30 ET ABC (205) OREGON vs. (206) BOISE ST Oregon might have lost its head coach, but the Ducks have QB Justin Herbert back, which probably matters more. With Hebert at the controls, the offense was outstanding and this is leading factor why Oregon has been taken from -5 to -7.5. The other aspect is though Boise State s defense has good numbers, they gave up points a lot to faster clubs. Our View Lean Oregon covers NEW MEXICO BOWL DEC. 16/ 4:30 ET ESPN (207) MARSHALL vs. (208) COLORADO ST With the average score of Marshall game just over 45 points, it would seem oddmakers are thinking Colorado State will control the pace and elevated the total from 55 to 58. The normal score of a Rams contest is 61.1 PPG, though that dips rather dramatically when they are not home to 46.1 PPG. This should be lower scoring. Our View Play Under CAMELLIA BOWL DEC. 16/ 8:00 ET ESPN (209) MIDDLE TENN ST vs. (210) ARKANSAS ST This bowl battle features the largest totals move of all, up a whopping five points to 62.5. With QB Brent Stockwell back, the Middle Tennessee State offense is completely different and they can score on anyone. It is a given Arkansas State will pile up the points since they are averaging nearly 40 per contest. Our View Play Over BOCA RATON BOWL DEC. 19/ 7:00 ET ESPN (211) AKRON at (212) FLA ATLANTIC The same night the odds on this bowl encounter were released, Florida Atlantic went up like Bitcoin from -17 to -21.5. The Owls have continued to fly higher, all the way to -22.5. The question on bettors minds is how can Akron stop FAU s run game? Great question, however, the Zips never quit playing and at over three touchdowns, backdoor possibilities. Our View Lean Akron covers NFL Saturday - (305) L.A. CHARGERS at (306) KANSAS CITY 8:25 ET NFLN With the Chargers 7-2 SU and ATS since disastrous 0-4 start, they have the full backing of those betting football and have been flipped from +1 to -1 at Kansas City. While L.A. South is unquestionably playing better than the Chiefs, this will still require leap of faith to back the Bolts at this price since they have lost seven straight to K.C. If the Chiefs can keep running game going they could win, but secondary has to contain Philip Rivers. Our View- Leans L.A. Chargers cover (315) HOUSTON at (316) JACKSONVILLE 1:00 ET CBS Put together Jacksonville s defense, which leads the league in points allowed at 15.5 per game, against Houston club that only scored 16 points at home in setback to San Francisco, with third-string quarterback T.J. Yates playing most of that contest and the starter this week and you have a sinking total from 40 to 39. The Jaguars are off unusual 30-point back to back contests and are 11-1 UNDER after scoring 30 points or more in two straight games in their history. Our View- Lean Under (319) ARIZONA at (320) WASHINGTON 1:00 ET FOX The sense one has is Arizona is still playing on this season, while Washington, at least the last couple weeks, has given up the ghost. I m not the only one thinking this either, as the Redskins have slide from -5.5 to -4.5 or even -4 point favorites. All the Washington injuries seem to have taken a physical toll, which has spilled into the mental side. That is not to say backing the Cardinals does not come without baggage, since they are 1-5 ATS this season on the road. Our View- Lean Arizona covers (323) L.A. RAMS at (324) SEATTLE 4:05 ET FOX Seattle s pedigree and playing before the 12th Man has football bettors giving them the benefit of the doubt, as the Seahawks have been switched from +1.5 to -1.5 point choice over the visiting Rams. Seattle needs a victory, because a season sweep give them the tiebreaker if we reach that point by the end of the year. Taking all aspects into account, the Rams are probably better overall team, but can they contain Russell Wilson? Our View- Lean Seattle covers (329) DALLAS at (330) OAKLAND 8:30 ET NBC With Oakland providing another listless effort in being thumped by Kansas City, bettors are tired of this act and are supporting Dallas, who arrives in Oak-Town off a couple of imposing wins. The Cowboys are riding higher in the saddle being moved from a Pick to -3, and should be able to move the ball against Raiders defense that has not done the job all season. Oakland is 10-23 ATS when a home underdog of three or less. Our View- Dallas covers Monday - (331) ATLANTA at (332) TAMPA BAY 8:30 ET ESPN Atlanta has been moved a point from -5 to -6 at Tampa Bay. This should be a no-brainer for the Falcons, however, they have Carolina and New Orleans to close the season, making focus a concern. And what about the Buccaneers, do they put aside reported in-fighting and galvanize for one big home effort, or rollover like Rover? The Bucs are 0-6 ATS as dogs this season.
