FSU/Florida Over 47 (-115)
Talk about teams with opposite seasons. FSU needs an undefeated season to get a shot at the BCS Championship game, and Florida... they just need this season to be over. Bottom line on this spread, FSU hasn't scored under 41 points all season, and the Gators aren't team they used to be.

Friday NCAA
Good 2-1 yesterday, so close to a perfect card. Here's our friday plays, lets get some plus units heading into this weekend!
Pitts +3 (-115)
Last game of the season, you bet your ass Pitts and their home crowd will be ready to go. If this game was a month ago, the spread would be double digits for Florida. But ever since their lost to F.St, the Hurricanes have lost 3 games including a couple to Duke and Virginia Tech…really? Meanwhile Pitts have won 2 of their last 3 including a great win against Notre Dame. G2 teams heading in opposite directions at the end of the season, take Pitts.
Troy -7.5
Not the most exciting game but a good chance to get a W. Believe it or not Troy has the 12th ranked passing attack in the country, yes Troy. Meanwhile, Texas St. gives up 26 points per game. I can picture this game turning into a track meet, in which case, Texas St. won't be able to keep up.
(More games to come tonight so check back in later!)

Thanksgiving
We'd like to wish all our American viewers a very happy thanksgiving. There's nothing more important than family, friends, food, and football!!
Lions -6.5 (-112)
Everyone knows the Packers are beat up and the Lions can't wait to take advantage. This is a divisional matchup and the Lions can't come out soft at home. The Pack are 0-3-1 since AR went down and the fact is that no one else can run that offense on full throttle. On such a stage, the Lions will give their fans something to go home happy about.
Ravens -2.5
Talk about a big game. On Thanksgiving, vs a divisional rival, with identical records... Ohhh boy. Much like the Lions, the Ravens can't afford to come out soft at home. I can't stand Flacco, but I can't pass up on this one. With such a soft spread, basically a win and you're in.
Cowboys-Raiders Over 47.5 (-102)
Don't look now, but Romo is actually playing some pretty good ball lately. The Cowboys are 5th in offensive points, yes, 5th! I think they'll be firing on all cylinders at home and will want to impress their home crowd. As for the Raiders, I expect the Cowboys to do most of the heavy lifting on this over, but Oak will chip in. They have a great run game and the boys have given up over 21 points in their last 4 games.

NFL Week 12
KC -4.5 (-105)
Last week the Broncs handed KC their first lost. Expect KC to bounce back this week against the Chargers. The Chiefs are back at home, where no fans impact the game as much as theirs (well, maybe Seattle). The Chargers' best asset is their passing game, if the KC can shut down Rivers, game over.
Miami +5
This one's a little outside the box, but hear me out. Carolina is coming off a big win against the Patriots and they must be feeling pretty good. Meanwhile, they travel to Miami with a team that has nothing to lose. There's nothing scarier than that. Miami's last two games at home have been wins, I have a hunch they might be poised for an upset.
Indy +3 (-105)
Arizona has been the surprise of the league lately, winning their last 3 games and holding a 6-4 record. But this spread is unfair to an underrated Colts team. They're 7-3 and are 4-1 on the road. If the spread was meant to favour the home team, it doesn't apply in my mind. Take the Colts and the help... but you won't need it.
Chicago +1
The Bears have been battling lately and it's been fun to watch. I don't care if Jay Cutler is out, the Bears can scratch and claw their way down the field through the run game. McCown had his breakout performance last week against the Ravens, beating them in OT. Trestman is as great game manager and can put his players in a position to win every week.

NCAA Week 13
BYU/Notre Dame Under 54 (-115)
Neither of these teams are scoring machines and both of ND's last two games have come down to the wire. As both defence's are in the top 40 for points against, I expect this to be a tight game. The fact that the point spread is only -1 for ND, this game could go either way and that helps the under. Look for conservative play calling and solid defence.
A&M/LSU Over 74 (-105)
If you're not watching this game this afternoon then I seriously wonder why you're even reading this. I hope this game is as good as it is hyped up to be. Like everyone else I want to see a back and forth shootout between Manziel and the Tigers. LSU was shut down last week and held to only 17 points. I think they'll be itching to put up some points at home. As for A&M, their defence has no business being in the top 25 and the only reason they are ranked 12th is because of Johnny.
Fresno St/New Mexico Over 68 (-115) ***2 Units***
Fresno St loves to put up points, especially at home. They've put up 38 points or more at home every game this year. The determining factor in this play is will be New Mexico's contribution. You wouldn't think of NM as a scoring machine, but in their last 3 games they've put up 30 points or more. This is an undervalued play and that's why it's 2 units.

NFL Week 11
Cincinnati -5.5 (-105)
It wasn't a very good road for the Bengals. They are 0-2 in their last two and my guess is they can't wait to get home. The cats are due for a good performance and they can't afford to lose again to the Browns. Heading into a bye week next week, the Bengals need to have a strong performance. I'm betting that the home crowd won't be disappointed.
Jets/Bills over 40 (-110)
Regardless of the matchup, I think a 40 point total line is very low. These are professional football players who are played to make plays and score points. The Jets have proven that they can score points on a big stage, beating the Patriots and the Saints. As for the Bills, they have lost 3 straight and don't want to lose to a divisional opponent at home. I have a hunch this can turn into one of those sloppy back-and-forth games.
Washington +4.5
The Skins are a funny team to watch. They'll have games that remind you of the old run-and-gun RGIII where the kid can't be stopped, then they'll go and lose to a team like the Vikes. An interesting trend though is the last 3 times the Skins lost, they rebounded the next week with a win. We're betting they'll do the same this week. And with a 4.5 point cushion, I like the Skins this week.
Patriots +1 ***3 Units***
Easily, EASILY, our favourite play of the week. The Pats are in Carolina for a primetime showdown on Monday night. And don't look now AFC, but the Patriots may be a dark horse down the road. With Gronk and Amendola healthy, plus the likely return of Talib, Arrington, and Vereen this week, the Pats are the healthiest they've been since the start of the season (minus Vince Wilfork, damn). Brady is starting to find rhythm with his young group and have put up 27 points or more in their last 4 games. Including a 55-point show vs. the Steelers. They will be tested this week against the Panthers D, but I think Tom is chomping at the bit to get back out with a healthy offence.

NCAA Week 12
Oklahoma St. -3 (-115) ***3 Units***
This is a big one for us. The #12 Cowboys ride into Texas to face the #24 Longhorns. Oklahoma has a high-flying offence that rakes up 40 points a game. In their past 3 games they've scored 42 points or more and have won 5 straight. The Cowboys want to crack the top ten and have been waiting for a big stage to do it. This is their chance.
Central Michigan -3 (-105)
I know it's a boring matchup, but it's a great spread! Central Michigan is a better team across the board. The Western Michigan Broncos are 1-9 in the MAC while Central Michigan is 3-6. The Broncos only average 17 points a game while giving up 36.
Houston +16.5
Houston heads into Louisville to face off against the Cardinals. People have been questioning if Houston is a legitimate team, following their loss last week to UCF. Nothing fires up a team more than doubtful critics. This spread is insulting for a team sitting at 7-2. Houston wants to prove to people that they are a good team, this is the week to do it.

NFL Week 10
Seattle -4.5 (-105)
We've given the Falcons enough chances this year, now they're done. If the Falcons continue to play the way they are, this spread should be a cake walk. The Hawks prolific run offence is their focus point, but last week showed that they can throw the ball as well. They relied on Wilson to comeback over the Bucs and he did. The Hawks know they came out soft last week but this week, against a divisional rival, no mercy.
Chicago +1 EVEN
The Bears are coming home off a good win in Lambeau last week, look for the crowd to be rocking! The Bears rely on a 2-way offence, while the Lions are strictly pass, pass, pass. If the Bears shut down Stafford, the Bears will walk away with a W.
Carolina +6 (+110)
Defence is the name of the game for matchup. I love the spread vs the 49ers as I expect it to be a tight defensive and field-possesion battle. Not only do the Panthers have a top-10 defence, Cam Newton is back to his old self. Don't be surprised if this game comes to a last-minute field goal.
New Orleans +6
This game is all about the bounce-back from last week. The Saints got a reality shock when they lost to the Jets. Now, they're at home and in the comforts of an indoor stadium. When the conditions are right, no defence can stop the Saints pass offence. Last week they were outside in NY (which is a major problem for the Saints looking forward), but this week they're home and look for them to come out flying.

NCAA WEEK 11
Penn State +3 (-115)
Penn St's game has been getting better from week to week, minus the game vs. Ohio St but who can blame them. I believe that Minnesota's mediocre passing offence will hurt them today. Take the Lions.
Virginia Tech +7 (-115)
I think last week Florida St exposed the Hurricane's weaknesses. VT has lost 2 straight and don't want to lose another divisional matchup. I'm not saying they'll win, but +7 is a great spread for a conference game.
Texas -6
Across the board, Texas is a better and well-rounded football team. They're 5-0 against other Big 12 teams as they step up when the game means the most. West Virginia is not the same team they were last year and have fallen off in the conference.
San Diego State University +7 (-120)
Rivals and in-state school, there's no way this game is a blow out. Look for both teams to come out fighting. I like the +7 spread on games like these. I expect this game to be a fourth-quarter game, as they are very closely matched on paper.
Houston +12
Not many people take you Houston seriously and the spread shows it. They're 7-1 with a 18th ranked passing game in the country, and are 12th best in scoring. They're equally matched with UCF, the 12 point spread looks too good to be true.
Arizona St -7 (-125)
The Sun Devils are favourites and with good reason. They're 22nd in the country, must thanks to their passing offence and scoring ability. I have no idea why the spread is only a touchdown. Utah is 1-4 in Pac-12 play and are coming off two ugly losses vs. Arizona and USC.

NFL Week 9
This is it. You can consider this our hail mary pass of our NFL season. Let's do it.
Atlanta +7.5 (-105)
This is our last straw for the hopeless Falcons. I just can't see the Falcons losing to the Panthers by more than a touchdown. They're 2-5 and they NEED a win against a divisional opponent. They got embarrassed last week against the Cards, they have to bounce back.
Minnesota +10 (-105)
The Vikes head into Cowboys stadium with a big game vs. the boys. The Vikes aren't going to win any shoot-outs, and they know it. Look for them to play a conservative game, keeping it close, and controlling the flow of the game. If they can do that, it might be a 4th quarter game. I like the 10 point cushion.
Redskins +1 (-115)
When I look at the Redskins, I look at their last two games. They've gotten back to RGIII/Skins football. They put up 45 points against Chicago, and kept the game close for three quarters last week vs. the Broncos. There passing is 10th in the league and their rushing is 6th. Surprisingly good for a 2-5 team.
Eagles +3 (-125)
I'll give the Raiders credit for their 3-4 start, but not enough to trust em with a pick. The Eagles need this win, having lost their last 2. With their QB-carousel, the Eagles will depend on their running game that I think the Raiders will have a tough time with. I just can't trust the Raiders, this is their chance to prove me wrong. But I'm still taking Eagles.
Ravens -3 (Even)
2 straight losses, thank god the Ravens had a bye-week last week. They needed a chance to regroup and get it together. I think they did that. They had an extra week to prepare for this game against the Browns. They wont lose this game.
Atlanta +7.5 (-105)

NCAA Week 10
Only late plays today, not including an early teaser. If it goes well, maybe we'l start including more documented teasers. Here we go!
Georgia Tech -11.5 (-110)
The Yellow Jackets have been playing quality ball lately. They've won 2 straight and I don't expect them to let up at home. GT has the number 4th ranked run offence in the country. Meanwhile, Pitts has not been impressive lately. They're 1-2 in the last 3, including losses to Navy and Virginia Tech.
Texas Tech +1 (-105)
I love this line and I love this game. It should be a great game to watch. It's the TT air attack vs the Oklahoma State defence. I just can't see TT not having a big game. It's primetime, they're at home, and it's a top 20 matchup.

Iowa +16 & Boston College+11.5

NFL Week 8
Atlanta Falcons +3 **2 Units
I know the Falcons have been bad this year, but they haven't been Arizona Cardinals bad. The Falcons still have Matt Ryan at the helm who has lead Atlanta to a 3rd ranked passing offence. Meanwhile, the Cardinals have given up over 30 points in their last 2 games. If the Falcons lose this one, Mike Smith might as well just pack his bags now.
Patriots/Dolphins Over 45
Main reason behind this pick: Tom Brady is due for a big game. Last week the Patriots got shafted by a bizarre overtime call that cost them the game. This week, the Patriots are at home, against a division rival... enter Tom Terrific. The Patriots overs have been hit or miss this year, but this week I think Belichick and the boys are going to come out flying at home.
Seattle Seahawks -12
Normally I hate big spreads in the NFL. These are professional athletes representing billion dollar organizations and it's a business, not a college party. Having said that, the St Louis Rams are hurting. Sam Bradford, who I think is inching closer and closer to "bust-status," has gone down and is out for the season. Now they have to play Seattle, a divisional opponent... with a spread under 2 tds, I like the Hawks.

NCAA WEEK 9
Rutgers -6.5
Ya want to know why the NFL is littered with Rutgers alumni? It's because they produce smart team players. Like years past, this squad is a smart team that knows how to control the ball and their offense can manage games. I love the spread vs a overrated Houston squad.
Oklahoma St -13.5
This isn't as much about the matchup as it is about the spread. Just breaking the top 25, I love that the cowboys have a spread under 2 tds. They don't want to be pushed out of the top 25 thanks to a bad Iowa St team. Look for them to punish their opponents and run the score tomorrow.
Missouri -3
These are two teams headed in the opposite direction. I really expected more out of SC but they have disappointed me pretty much all year. Missouri has an explosive offense and the gamecocks will not be able to keep up

This isn't as much about the matchup as it is about the spread. Just breaking the top 25, I love that the cowboys have a spread under 2 tds. They don't want to be pushed out of the top 25 thanks to a bad Iowa St team. Look for them to punish their opponents and run the score tomorrow.
Missouri -3
These are two teams headed in the opposite direction. I really expected more out of SC but they have disappointed me pretty much all year. Missouri has an explosive offense and the gamecocks will not be able to keep up

NFL Week 7
Packers/Browns Over 45
The Pack are 4th in league passing yards and 5th in rushing yards. Their pass defence is not strong and Weeden has been surprisingly mediocre recently. As long as the Browns can put up a couple touchdowns, the Packers can do the rest.
Baltimore Ravens +1 **2 Units
There's something about the Raven that when they enter Heinz field, they step up their game. With only a 1 point spread, I like the Ravens to take this but expect a close game. These two teams are a great rivalry and they always bring their best games when they play each other.
San Fran 49ers -3.5
This line has been dropping all week and I can't figure out why. I love the Niners in this matchup regardless of where they are and how good the Titans are playing. Expect the San Fran D to pressure Fitzpatrick. On the offence, Frank Gore is back to bounding the ball and just in general the Niners are back to playing 49er football.

NCAA Week 8
Biggest NCAA play card yet this year so a little bit quicker write-ups. Here we go!
West Virginia +5.5
WV goes up against the 16th ranked Texas Tech this week. Texas has been on a roll and climbing up the offensive and defensive rankings, but that just may be their downfall this week. They haven't had to face a string opponent since week 3 when they beat TCU. I don't think Texas will know how to react in a close game. Look for WV to give em a tough game.
Baylor Over 76 (-115)
When there is a spread of 33 favouring a team, like Baylor this week, it;s hard not to consider the over. Iowa St. is not a strong team and Baylor is putting up points at will. On ESPN: PTI this past week, the boys discussed how this Baylor offence may be the best Baylor offence, EVER! Sorry RGIII.
Clemson +3
Hands down, this is the game of the week. This is the one everyone has been waiting for, including the Clemson faithful. #5 Florida St. comes in to face the #3 Tigers. All year the Tigers haven't been given enough respect in the book and as an underdog in their own stadium, this week is no different. I love the Tigers at home, I have them to win straight-up.
South Carolina -8
Tennessee has been getting better and better, despite last week's tough loss to Georgia. With Clowney back, the Cocks are ready to feast on their opponents and climb back up that board. I think the biggest aspect of this game is Carolina's balanced offence, I can't see Tennessee stopping it.
Washington +3
Much like Clemson, Washington doesn't get enough respect. Sure they lost to Stanford and Oregon in their past two games, but who wouldn't!? I think they come out guns blazin against the Sun Devils and get back to winning. Before those two losses, they were 4-0 and the surprise of the SEC.
UCLA +5
After the Clemson game, this is the game that grabs my attention the most. But hey, Im a sucker for some good SEC ball. And that's what we'll get with this game. The 5-0 Bruins catch Stanford at a good time, having just lost an upset to Utah. Some may say last week was a fluke, but Stanford has some issues on the offence. Their passing offence is 89th in the league, sub-par at best. And their running game is 42nd. That's not up to SEC standards and the Bruins crush Stanford in those two stats by a mile. Take the big bad Bruins.

NFL Week 6
Detroit Lions -3 (Even) **2 Units
Nope. Sorry, I don't buy it. Not the Browns, especially against the Lions. The Lions have emerged as an explosive offensive team thanks to the addition of Reggie Bush. Not because of his running game, but because he's huge a weapon out of the backfield for Stafford. He's an easy target out on the flanks who has the ability to open up a defence. Weeden is back under center as Hoyer is officially out. Unfortunate injury, but their cinderella story is over.
Green Bay Packers -3 (-105) ** 2 Units
Known as a prolific passing offense (fourth in the NFL), the Packers now have a running game to back it up (fifth in the NFL). For the Ravens, Flacco still does not impress me as a, self-proclaimed, elite quarterback. Eight interceptions and only five touchdowns.... moving on. Their defence is their backbone but even they have been average this year. It's the same strong Packers offence against the not so typical Ravens defence... Let's go cheese heads.
Cincinnati Bengals -7 (Even)
The Bengals are coming off a wacky win over the Patriots, but maybe that's what they needed. The skill and coaching staff is there, but they just haven't been clicking. I believe that they needed an ugly win over a team like the Patriots to get them moving forward. The biggest mismatch here is the Bengals D versus the Bills offensive line. If they can rattle Brady enough to get him off his game, the Bills are in for a long day. Their pass rush is tenacious and the Bills will not stop it.
Indianapolis Colts -1 (Even)
Ummm. The Colts just knocked off the NFC's best, Seattle Seahawks, and the spread is only -1. What? The Colts have won three in a row, including victories over the Hawks and the 49ers. They are hitting their stride and the Chargers are in the wrong place at the wrong time this week. The Chargers defence is 27th against the pass and 24th against the run... again...WHAT!? Please take the Colts.

NCAA Week 7
So we've been having a solid season in NCAA so far with 6 consecutive winning weeks and today we're going to be making it 7.
Look for us to add plays later this afternoon, check back often!
Baylor -17 (-115) 1u
Baylor rolled last week and covered the large spread and we look for them to roll again this week. KSU isn't that much of a talented team and Baylor typically has more scoring in the latter half of the game since the starters go deeper into games. Look for them to cover.
Missouri +7 (-110) 2u
Not much to say here. We have a depleted Georgia team who have an extremely tough schedule this season and Mizzou has been showing that they are for real this season. Look for them to keep it extremely close and perhaps even steal the W here.
Wisconsin -10 (-110)
Northwestern lost an extremely tough game last week and now have to come in to Wisconsins barn and battle their tough road game. After two close losses, Wisconsin isn't going to sit and watch another oen get away from them. Watch them come out and dominate, scoring early and often. Like the Over in this situation as well but it'll remain a lean.
Best of luck everyone

NFL Week 5
We've been struggling in the past few weeks when it comes to the NFL and hope to turn it around this Sunday. We like a lot of plays on today's card so hopefully this is the turning point for our season! Because of the amount of plays, our write-ups will be a little different today. Quick and concise.
Kansas City -3 (-110)
-Efficient offense being run by Alex Smith, few turnovers.
-No Locker, Fitzpatrick doesn't bring the same type of energy to the Titans huddle.
New Orleans -1 (-110) **2 Units
-Surprisingly only a 1-point underdog.
-Offence too good for the bears, won't be able to keep up.
-Solid pass defense.
New York Giants -3 (+120)
-Bettors beware. Worth a look when you consider the odds.
-They can't go 0-16. Betting that this is their week.
Carolina -2 (-110)
-Arizona has not looked good. Lucky to get a win last week, only scoring 13 points.
-The Panthers have an underrated rushing game, solid against the run too.
San Diego -4.5 (-110) **2 Units
-Have been on a great run for us lately, hoping that it continues.
-Have a versatile passing attack. Rivers using all his weapons, especially out of the backfield.
-The Raiders defense is horrid.

NCAA Week 6
Quick post here, will try and update the write ups for the later games. Lets keep our strong NCAA plays going.
Mich st. +1.5
Later games****
Georgia -12
Ever since their week 1 loss to Clemson, Georgia has been on a mission. They've put up over 40 points in their last three games and beating big teams like South Carolina and LSU. While Tennessee has a solid running game, their passing offence has been dismal, averaging only 154 yards a game. They simply won't be able to keep up with the Dogs.
LSU -8
Miss St. showed their inexperience last week when they faced off against Alabama. While Miss has been in and out of the top 25 rankings for the first time in a while, teams like Bama and LSU thrive on the big stage. Much like last week, inexperience will be Miss State's downfall.

NFL Week 4
Ok. It begins now. Our NCAA record has been amazing going 13-5, but its time to turn our NFL season around. If we can get these plays going too, we'l be a force. Let's go!
Cincinnati Bengals -4 (-115)
The Bengals are 2-1 on the season and this team is looking to take control of their conference. They can't squander a chance to beat an easy team like the Browns. Cincy showed they have the offence to compete with teams like the Packers, the Browns simply wont be able to keep up.
Indianapolis Colts -9 (-110)
The Colts suggest that they are a force in the AFC with their new balanced offence. And I believe em. Trent not only gives the Colts a big strong option out of the backfield, but is also a great blocker. It's simple, if Luck can get time to sit back in the pocket, he will pick you apart. Sorry Jags.
Arizona Cardinals +3 (-125)
The Bucs are a team on a downward spiral. I never liked Schiano and I don't blame Freeman for their 0-3 start. He's a control freak type of coach yet he's using Freeman as his excuse. I don't even like Freeman, but that's how much I despise Schiano. I think Tampa is a good team on paper but he has stirred up so much tension with his style of coaching that it has translated into poor play. Now they're turning to a rookie qb to try and steer the ship... Abandon ship and take the Cards.
