DALLAS COWBOYS VS. NEW YORK GIANTS

PICK: DALLAS COWBOYS -2 (-103)

RISK: 5 UNITS

PICK WRITE-UP: The Giants have failed to reach 20 points in any of their past five games. Jones is far from 100 percent. He lacks the skill position weapons Andy Dalton has with the Cowboys. The Giants don’t have a healthy running back the caliber of Ezekiel Elliott and their wideouts can’t compare to Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup and CeeDee Lamb. Jones has been sacked 12 times in the past two games. Dallas has a pair of excellent pass rushers, DeMarcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory. New York is 2-5 at home this season. The Giants are at their worst when taking points at home failing to cover 11 of the last 13 times as a home ‘dog. Dallas has won the last seven meetings in the series, including 37-34 in Week 5 when Dak Prescott was lost for the season

NEW YORK JETS VS. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

PICK: NEW YORK JETS +3 (-112)

RISK: 5 UNITS

PICK WRITE-UP: Recommending the New York Jets hasn’t been as crazy as it sounds the past couple of months. In fact, the J-Men have not only won their last two games outright, but have been offering good spread value since midseason, covering 6 of their last 9, as they travel to Foxborough for the season-ended at Gillette Stadium vs. New England. The J-Men have been a better recommendation lately than the Patriots, who entered the Buffalo game last Monday having covered just 4 of their last 11 in 2020. And Bill Belichick has really had his problems as a favorite this season, dropping his last five in that role

TENNESSEE TITANS VS. HOUSTON TEXANS

PICK: TENNESSEE TITANS -7.5 (-104)

RISK: 5 UNITS

PICK WRITE-UP: Even with that blowout loss in Lambeau on Sunday Night, the Titans can still clinch the AFC South with a win here. Cut Packer lead to 19-14, before the floodgates opened. Henry just missed out on another 100-yard game (23 carries: 98 yards). Let's hope that Watson's (24-of-34, 324 yards, 3 TDs with 0 INTs) throwing shoulder is OK after that hit he took at the end of the game. He is the first QB in team history with 30+ TD passes. Houston now has two 4-game losing streaks this year. RB David Johnson with 12 carries for 127 yards & a TD. Texans are 5-1 at home vs the Titans, but are hardly fired up.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS VS. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS

PICK: SEATTLE SEAHAWKS -7 (+104)

RISK: 5 UNITS

PICK WRITE-UP: There’s an outside chance the Seahawks still can get the top seed. So Seattle won’t lack incentive. San Francisco is 2-6 in its last eight games with all of the defeats during this time frame coming by eight or more points. Healthy again at running back, the Seahawks should be able to wear the weary 49ers down, while Russell Wilson picks his spots. Wilson had four TD throws when Seattle defeated San Francisco, 37-27, in Week 8. Special teams could factor, too, as the 49ers have allowed a league-high five TD’s on returns, including giving up four defensive scores. The 49ers have had multiple turnovers in eight of their past nine games

ST JOSEPHS VS. RHODE ISLAND

PICK: UNDER 151.5 (-108)

RISK: 5 UNITS

PICK WRITE-UP: Offensive production is off a bit this season for David Cox’s Rams, especially top scorer G Fatts Russell, one of the most-potent A-10 weapons a year ago down from 18.8 points per game to 13.8 points per game, and Rhode Island ranks well up the track (302 out of 329) in the telling assist- per-game category (only 10.4). The Rams should win, probably comfortably, but more intrigued by this 150s “total” that seems too high, especially considering these matchups landed on 132 and 128, respectively, a year ago

PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS VS. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS

PICK: PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS -5 (-104)

RISK: 5 UNITS

PICK WRITE-UP: Steve Kerr getting a taste of what it’s like when trying to navigate the Western Conference with only one available all-star instead of the 4-5 he had at his fingertips during the heyday in the Bay Area, just 3 years ago. It also made a difference having one of, if not the, best perimeter defenders around in Klay Thompson, but he’s out again with a 2nd season-ending injury. Not unrelated is the fact that the Warriors are giving up 47% FGs this year, after foes burned them at a 47.6% rate a year ago. Golden State sits at 29th in defensive efficiency, and Portland has a very productive backcourt featuring Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum (combining for 53.2 points per game). Steph Curry is going to have his hands full

KENTUCKY VS. NC STATE

PICK: NC STATE +2.5 (-106)

RISK: 8 UNITS

PICK WRITE-UP: Yes, these squads have met in the past, the far distant past, as the split wins in 1909 & 1970. For the Wildcats of Kentucky, this makes 5 consecutive bowl years under Stoops (first UK coach to accomplish that), despite a losing season. 'Cats are led by RB Rodriguez: 701 yards & 6.9 yards per rush, but KU #121 in overhead production. Ninth bowl in eleven years for the Wolfpack of North Carolina State (5-3 SU/ATS), who opened quickly (4-1 & #22 in the polls), before losing QB Leary. However, they did get back on track, behind Hockman (64%), & RBs Knight & Person (1,371 yards). Definite feeling that the wrong team may be favored in this contest

CHATTANOOGA VS. VMI

PICK: VMI +3.5 (-107)

RISK: 5 UNITS

PICK WRITE-UP: Down 56-37 at the half at Samford earlier this week, VMI held it together and “won” the second half in defeat. They come home off three straight road losses to play with double-revenge against the Mocs, whose 9-0 season got its first loss as soon as they faced a SoCon opponent Wednesday night. Not easy to lose when you sink 13 of 26 treys and the other side makes only 4 of them, but that’s what they did

MERCER VS. FURMAN

PICK: FURMAN -11 (-108)

RISK: 5 UNITS

PICK WRITE-UP: Mercer has double-revenge, but after promising beginnings vs. non-conference strangers, they’ve had some postponements and cancellations, and a performance decline with exposure that continued in Tuesday night’s 13-point home loss vs. Wofford that tipped off SoCon season. Furman’s season has been uninterrupted and the Paladins tested themselves with narrow, power-conference losses at Cincinnati and Alabama before winning at Chattanooga on Wednesday night to begin SoCon season

UTAH STATE VS. AIR FORCE

PICK: AIR FORCE +14.5 (-105)

RISK: 5 UNITS

PICK WRITE-UP: If Thursday night’s match-up between these two had been a fight, it would have been stopped at the end of the 22-6 run by Utah State early in the second half to take a 70-36 lead. But Air Force shot the ball okay, 47.2%. The 26 turnovers (vs. Utah State’s 9) hurt some, ya’ think? One of their senior forwards turned it over 7 times. Get him off the floor, Joe Scott! “They got 45 points off those 26 turnovers. That’s a great place to start right there,” Scott said afterwards. With a day between games, Scott has an opportunity to watch tape with the players and prepare for better execution.

FORDHAM VS. LA SALLE

PICK: LA SALLE -6.5 (-104)

RISK: 5 UNITS

PICK WRITE-UP: In 2016, for reasons that made less sense than hiring Tom Pecora before him, Fordham gave head coach Jeff Neubauer a contract extension through 2020-21. Therefore, this season will more than likely be a death march through the A-10. They’ve played one game, losing by 24 points to a George Washington team they beat three times last season. Fordham normally begins a season playing down-down-down in class in games they win. This season, they start at their own level – which is a bad way to describe it because it’s a level at which they don’t belong

CINCINNATI VS. GEORGIA

PICK: CINCINNATI +9.5 (-104)

RISK: 5 UNITS

PICK WRITE-UP: First meeting between these teams. As our clients are well aware, we've ridden the undefeated Bearcats of Cincinnati this season, with highly profitable results. Only regular season miss by a single point, when they took knee at the Central Florida one in the final minute, after overcoming a 2-TD deficit. QB Ridder leads an enviously balanced "O": 2,090 passing yards, 66%, & 17 TDs with 6 INTs. Eighth bowl in 10 years for Cincinnati (23-point cover vs BC in last year's Birmingham). But can they keep it up vs such a giant? For the Bulldogs of Georgia, this makes it 24 straight bowl seasons (longest current run), & 57th overall. Own the best run "D" in the land, & insertion of QB Daniels is a proven success (9 TDs with only 1 INT). But a bevy of 'Dawgs have opted out, thus a 'Cat call

Saint Peter’s is 11-1 SU, last 12 MAAC games. Canisius is shooting 38.7% from the field (a woeful number, in case you weren’t aware) and is off back-to-back 16- and 28-point losses at Monmouth. Who do ya’ like

OHIO STATE VS. CLEMSON

PICK: CLEMSON -7.5 (+103)

RISK: 11 UNITS

PICK WRITE-UP: They meet again. For the 3rd time in the last 4 years, the Tigers of Clemson take on the Buckeyes of Ohio State in a National Playoff game, with CU winning & covering the first 2 such encounters: 31-0 (+1½) in the '16 Fiesta, & 29-23 (-2) in last year's Fiesta. As a matter of fact they also met in the '13 Orange Bowl, also won by the Tigers (+2), 40-35. As can be seen above, the Buckeyes have played only six games, due to Covid, but have been rightly included in this powerhouse quartet. They are led, of course, by QB Fields, who is a superb 56 TDs with only 8 INTs the past 2 years, although that may be a bit misleading, as he was 41 TDs with 3 INTs last season (2 interceptions in loss to these Tigers). So 5 picks this year, compared to last year's 40 TD and 1 INT regular season log. The not so hidden gem on OSU's team has to be running back Sermon, who set a school record with 331 rushing yards (11.4 yards per rush) in their 22-10 Big Ten Title win over Northwestern. Shades of Ezekiel Elliott in Ohio State's '14 Championship run? Well, maybe, but note that the Bucks took Wisconsin, 59-0, in that Big Ten Title game. A quick peek at the above stats shows OSU with a +8 turn over edge in just its half-dozen contests. If there were any doubts as to this year's Tiger edition, they were erased with their complete throttling of Notre Dame in the ACC title match, with a 541-263 yard edge behind 322 passing yards from Lawrence, & 124 rushing yards from Etienne (12.4 yards per rush), who was held to 1.6 yards per rush in their first meeting. Lawrence is at his best in the big game, while Fields not necessarily so in such important contests: two 2nd half picks in last year's tilt with Clemson; three INTs in this year's 42-35 win over Indiana, & just 12-of-27 & 2 more picks in Big Ten title win over Northwestern. CU didn't have the answers to LSU last year (who did?), but have otherwise been simply superb plays. Again!

RISK: 5 UNITS

PICK WRITE-UP: No, they've never met before. For the Golden Hurricane of Tulsa, just their first bowl since '16, after making the holiday scene 7-of-8 years, from '05 through '12. But when they do make a bowl, they take full advantage: 63, 45, 62, 52, & 55 pts in 5 of those 7, winning all 5 SU, covering 6. But a combined 9-27 SU run ('17-'19), before this year's 6-2 log, covering 7-of-8, & nearly taking 6th-ranked in the AAC title game. Bulldogs (+17) shocked LSU, 44-34, in opener, but just 2-7 since, 'tho QB Rogers has 30+ completions in his L4 games (SEC record), & threw for 336 yards vs Georgia's super "D". But Mississippi State has allowed 31+ pts 6 times this year.

For the Cardinals of Ball State, this marks their first such trip since back-to-back losses in the '12 Beef 'O' Brady, & the '13 GoDaddy. The Spartans of San Jose St: SU & ATS wins in the '15 Cure, & the '12 Military. Just a single SU loss between them this year, with a combined 11-3 ATS log. SJSt: 11-1 ATS run (7-0 SU & ATS TY). Cards finished on a 4-0 spread run (+60½ pts), including holding Buffalo's top-ranked running game to 210 yards below its average, in MAC title game (22-pt cover). Key here is that 119th-ranked Card passing "D", which just be the edge. However, nothing strong.

PICK WRITE-UP: Pre-season NBA results: Utah, 119-105 and 111-92 over Phoenix. “They handled us in many areas of the game,” Suns head coach Monty Williams said. “That’s the focus right now. How do we go up there and keep them out of our paint, do much better in transition, keep those guys off the glass?” Ricky Rubio knew how, but he doesn’t play for Phoenix anymore. He did when the Suns beat the Jazz by 20 points here the last time the teams played for real. “I know their game and I played with them for a long time,” Rubio said afterwards, talking about how he often knew where the Jazz wanted to go with their motion and their passes and stepped into the passing lanes. Is Chris Paul that cerebral? Don’t think so

From a 94-18 point edge in their first 2 contests (+50½ points ATS), to a 76-40 point deficit in their remaining 4 games (-70½ points ATS). QB Mertz electrified everyone in his debut: 20-of-21 (5 TDs). But he has gone only 3 TDs with 5 INTs since, as the Badgers rank just 105th in passing "O" (93rd in total "O"). Their "D" is another matter: #1. The Demon Deacons of Wake Forest go bowling for the 5th straight year: 3-1 SU, 2-2 ATS. Move it with the best them, behind QB Hartman (10 TDs with only 1 INT), & lead the land in turnover edge (+23). Again, we'll grab the TD

PICK WRITE-UP: Just the 2nd meeting for these 2, the first coming in the '08 National Title Game, when Tim Tebow, Percy Harvin, & a spectacular Florida Gator "D" took down the Sam Bradford led Oklahoma Sooners, 24-14. Remember, Okies entered that one off a scoring barrage of 62, 66, 65, 61, & 62 points. First time in 4 yrs that an OU QB hasn't been in the Heisman picture, as such possibility is owned by Gator QB Kyle Trask, who leads that nation with 4,125 passing yards & 43 TDs with only 5 INTs, & fresh off a 408 passing yard effort in SEC title game vs 'Bama (10-point cover). But only 6 teams allow more first downs than Florida, while always potent Okies, behind frosh QB Rattler (2,784 passing yards & 25 TDs with 7 INTs) have shored up their "D" (17th). Fireworks galore, but OU more balanced

BOSTON CELTICS VS. INDIANA PACERS

PICK: INDIANA PACERS -1.5 (-102)

RISK: 5 UNITS

PICK WRITE-UP: When they played here on Sunday, both teams shot better than 50% overall in the Pacers’ 109-108 win that obviously could have gone either way. But Jeff Teague was 0-for-6 on three-pointers for Boston, doing his new team a real favor (we kid!). Kemba Walker, come back soon! Yes, the need him! Teague took a 0 in 21 minutes vs. Brooklyn, had only 9 – all on free throws – on Sunday.

HOUSTON VS. TULSA

PICK: TULSA +8.5 (-109)

RISK: 5 UNITS

PICK WRITE-UP: 7-0, #5-ranked Houston lays 8+ to an opponent they beat by 23 points at home in February as they come off a 9-point win at UCF. Margins of those sizes are difficult to sustain in conference play. Tulsa lost a home game to Wichita State earlier this month, but has since won at Memphis. “We learned a lot from that [Wichita State] game because I don’t think we were quite right in the first half, coming from the break,” head coach Haith said. “We got better in the second half, but we needed practice time.” Alrighty, then. They stay true to their defensive system, which is a good trait to have against a Houston bunch that keys on offensive rebounding

DENVER NUGGETS VS. SACRAMENTO KINGS

RISK: 5 UNITS

PICK WRITE-UP: The Kings have beaten the Nuggets in Denver already, as we figured they would. They didn’t lose to them by much last season (7- and 5-point losses, plus a win). Denver beat the Rockets for us at home last night – for which they don’t get a gold star -- and now they make the trek to Sacramento for the second of back-to-backs. They didn’t have to do any of those, with travel, in the Bubble

PICK: DENVER NUGGETS -7 (-107)

RISK: 8 UNITS

PICK WRITE-UP: At Portland, the currently depleted Rockets scored 68 points in the first half, then 45 in the second half. They don’t know how to pace themselves. They just go out and run around quickly and shoot the ball, still. In the thin air of Denver, with only nine available, and four of them named Christian Wood, Brodric Thomas, Sterling Brown and Bruno Caboclo, they’ll be sucking wind by mid-third quarter against the angry, desperate, 0-2 home team

CINCINNATI BENGALS VS. HOUSTON TEXANS

PICK: HOUSTON TEXANS -7.5 (+109)

RISK: 5 UNITS

PICK WRITE-UP: Houston has Deshaun Watson. Cincinnati has Brandon Allen or Ryan Finley. Enough said. The Bengals might be able to run on the Texans’ league-worst rush defense – if Joe Mixon returns from a lengthy foot injury. Mixon hasn’t played since Week 6 so he can’t be counted upon. The Bengals lack the quarterbacks who can take advantage of the Texans’ porous secondary, which has become worse with the suspension of Bradley Roby. Aging J.J. Watt could have one more big game in him given the Bengals’ pass protection problems. Cincinnati’s chore is made more difficult by traveling on a short week having just hosted the Steelers this past Monday night

CLEVELAND BROWNS VS. NEW YORK JETS

RISK: 5 UNITS

PICK WRITE-UP: 28th matchup between these two. Browns lead this series 15-12, which included that classic divisional matchup in 1986 at 'The Mistake by the Lake'. That 2OT barnburner was one of the greatest ever and surprisingly enough, is the only time these two have battled in the playoffs. Even when the Jets win, they lose. The Jags now hold that #1 draft spot for Lawrence. However, have to hand it to NY, as it was in command of that game from the coin flip. Jets "D" got a big 4th down stop & the "O": 2 late first downs.

RISK: 5 UNITS

PICK WRITE-UP: Drake concluded non-conference play 9-0 and although Liam Robbins, who deserted them, is helping Minnesota (and us, Friday!), they haven’t missed him. Yet. Perhaps in their first Missouri Valley game, an opponent like Indiana State will know how to exploit them? Interesting, eh? This is hardly a reach. Drake beat Indiana State by 4 points home last season, lost 58-56 on this floor

Not exactly Jameis Winston, but bye bye MVP Award. Both of these teams will clinch NFC West by winning their final 2 games. What in the world happened to the Rams last week? They had to be peeking ahead to this one. Their first half offense? Try 5 punts (1 blocked), an interception, & only 3 points vs an 0-13 team. What

MILWAUKEE BUCKS VS. NEW YORK KNICKS

PICK: MILWAUKEE BUCKS -12.5 (-107)

RISK: 5 UNITS

PICK WRITE-UP: Rested, classy road chalk vs. low-level home dog playing second of back-to-back nights after tussling with the 76ers yesterday. Initial thoughts are that they can’t make this line high enough. Already, Knicks’ rookie Obi Toppin had to miss the team’s second game of the season last night with an injury. Hey, maybe they’re load managing him! After all, he’s all of 22 years old and shouldn’t be playing back-to-backs! LOL! R.J. Barrett shot 2-for-15 last night for New York. Kevin Knox scored 7 points in 29 minutes. This is what they get from their first-round draft picks. The Knicks are so delusional that Barrett thinks having no fans in the stands is an edge for New York in home games

But Green Bay’s defense hasn’t shown enough improvement allowing 24-plus points in three of the past five games. The Packers’ special teams have been awful, too. The Titans have produced at least 30 points in each of their last five games, averaging 37.4 points during this span. Tennessee has won and covered its last three road matchups, including knocking off the Ravens and Colts, 45-26. The Packers lost to the Colts on the road, 34-31 in overtime

RISK: 5 UNITS

PICK WRITE-UP: The virus certainly made its mark on this day, which had originally scheduled six games, thus dropping the Gasparilla, Independence, & Guaranteed Rate Bowls. What a year. So sad. This one has the Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns & Roadrunners of UTSA meeting for the first time. For La-La, this marks its 8th bowl in 10 years, winning & covering 4 straight, while hosting the New Orleans Bowl ('11-'14), but just 1-2 SU & 0-3 ATS since. QB Lewis (2,128 yards) has thrown a TD pass in 17 straight games. Cajuns a 132-51 point edge in L3 games (+40 pts ATS). For the 'Runners, note running back Sincere McCormick's 1,345 yards (748 yards after contact). Utsa rarely fades, & is only 12 pts from a 14-2 spread run and a solid 9-3 spread mark its last 12 as a dog. We'll grab generous spot

Hey, at least they’re consistent! But shooting in that range ain’t gonna get it done against a Wright State side shooting 51% from the field overall after five games, unless the Raiders have a bad shooting day in their own gym

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS VS. ARIZONA CARDINALS

PICK: ARIZONA CARDINALS -5.5 (-110)

RISK: 5 UNITS

PICK WRITE-UP: This really isn’t a road venue for the 49ers since Arizona’s State Farm Stadium has been their new home away from home. Nick Mullens hasn’t come through for the 49ers throwing at least one interception in eight of 10 appearances. San Francisco is holding out hope that Jimmy Garoppolo, George Kittle and Deebo Samuel will all be able to see action here to team with emerging star Brandon Aiyuk. The Cardinals beat the 49ers when San Francisco was healthy, 24-20, opening week. The 8-6 Cards have won four games by 15 or more points. San Francisco is 5-9 and out of playoff contention

But 14 starters, including QB McCall: 2,170 passing yards 23 TDs with 2 INTs, & running back Marable: 844 rushing yards returned this year &, they're 1 of 4 teams in the nation with no losses, ranking 9th in the polls, proving worth with 22-17 win over BYU, holding prolific Coog "O" scoreless over L27:28. The 23rd ranked Flames are just a 15-14 loss to NC State from matching CC's perfect log. QB Willis: 2,040 passing yards & 20 TDs with only 4 INTs (3 picks vs NC State), along with 807 rushing yards.

What happened to attacking the basket? Oh, they have former #1 pick Kevin Knox (4 points) for that! Sixers struggled against Westbrook, as usual – no big deal -- but won the game. No big deal. Sixers seek to forge a new road identity. They were terrible away from home last season. No fans here is a good place to start

MIAMI DOLPHINS VS. LAS VEGAS RAIDERS

PICK: MIAMI DOLPHINS -3 (+107)

RISK: 5 UNITS

PICK WRITE-UP: The Raiders aren’t exactly stretch-runners as they are in the midst of another familiar December fade with four straight spread Ls. Maybe giving Marcus Mariota more snaps isn’t a bad idea after he looked very serviceable in relief of a hurting Derek Carr (strained groin) last Thursday vs. the Bolts, but even Alabama would have trouble scoring enough points to overcome a Vegas D that’s allowed 30 or more a staggering nine times in 2020 (only the Jets have been as bad). It can’t be good news for Jon Gruden that Miami just ran over Bill Belichick’s defense to the tune of 250 rush yards last week, either, while the careful Tua (only 2 picks in 8 starts) is making Brian Flores smile by avoiding the sorts of mistakes that often befall rookie QBs. The Dolphins are also the anti-Raiders, having won 8 and covered 9 out of their last 10 as they get closer to their first playoff berth since 2016

TORONTO RAPTORS VS. SAN ANTONIO SPURS

PICK: SAN ANTONIO SPURS +2 (-101)

RISK: 5 UNITS

PICK WRITE-UP: The Raptors, along with the Warriors, were the only NBA teams to score fewer than 100 points in their first game. Warriors followed up with a second sub-100 game. Do you see some irony in that relationship, given that those two franchises played for the NBA Championship in 2018-19? For Golden State, it was expected. For Toronto, was it: Fluke, or Foreshadow? Could be Foreshadow, given the players they’ve allowed to leave via free agency over the course of the last two seasons, and considering that Wednesday night’s opponent, New Orleans, was one of the NBA’s worst defensive teams last season. Spurs
