L.A. Dodgers and Milwaukee 8:40 ET

Dodgers over Brewers- Okay down to game Seven as it should be and the visitor is favored over the home team and the team with the best record in the NL. That's because hard throwing Walker Buehler (0-1, 6.75 ERA) is taking the hill for Los Angeles. Buehler was knocked around in his start in Game 3 but comes up the favorite here. Take LOS ANGELES!

Nashville at Edmonton 10:00 ET

Oilers (+) over Predators- Nashville was out easy Power Play winner Friday taking out Calgary 5-3 and are now 5-1 on the season. Edmonton started slowly getting out scored 9-3 while losing their first two games but have rebounded with three straight wins including a 3-2 win in their home opener against Boston. The Predators are 3-0 on the road (ML) but will taste defeat on the road for the first time tonight. Take the OILERS!

Houston at L.A. Lakers 10:30 ET

Lakers (+) over Rockets- Well, it has been said for years that LeBron James can carry a team of nobodies to the NBA Finals and this season we will find out. Los Angeles took a hit in their opener losing to Portland while Houston with the addition of Carmelo Anthony did exactly what was expected. The Rockets who had the best record in the NBA last year got wasted in their opener as a 9-point favorite losing to New Orleans 131-112. The Rockets still don't play defense and the Lakers will have a raucous crowd support for this one. Take LA LAKERS!

San Antonio at Portland 10:00 ET

Spurs (+) over Trailblazers- Both these clubs won their opener and enter 1-0 with the Spurs squeaking by Minnesota and the Trailblazers defeating the Lakers. San Antonio's new addition DeMar DeRozan had 28 points in his debut and coach Greg Popovich couldn't be happier with what he saw. The Blazers make some changes but kept their core with guards Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum who do the bulk of the scoring. The Spurs are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five at the Moda Center and get the money here. Take SAN ANTONIO!

Toronto at Washington 7:00 ET

Wizards (+) over Raptors- I'm sure that there will be an over-reaction to Toronto's quick 2-0 start and convincing win over the Celtics last night. Kawhi Leonard led the way last night with 31 points and 10 rebounds is bringing the Raptors into Washington where the Wizards lost their opener to Miami 113-112. This contest is a rematch of last season's Eastern Conference first round playoff series which Toronto won in six games. This time it's the home team. Take WASHINGTON!

Fresno State at New Mexico 7:30 ET

Lobos (+) over Bulldogs- Oh man, I like this game. I wouldn't mind being in Albuquerque to see this game up close as I think that are both quality clubs in a weak conference that will clash here. Both clubs will be well coached (Lobos 21-12 ATS w/ Bob Davie getting double-digits) and I consider them both 'go with' guys. But, they should play to each others talents and this game should be highly contested. New Mexico under Davis is 16-4 ATS with revenge. Take the LOBOS!

Ohio State at Purdue 7:30 ET

Boilermakers (+) over Buckeyes- No. 2 ranked Ohio State (7-0, 4-0) received some distracting news this week when Co-captain Nick Bosa announced that he has 'retired' from college football leaving his mates in the lurch one might think. Not really, Bosa is hurt and has been side-lined and most understood his decision but they have been winning without him. Purdue started slow losing in Big Ten action to Northwestern to start conference action but have come on strong of late. Boilermakers ranked 10th in the nation in total offense, are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings as hosts and they remember the last meetings a 56-0 beating. This one could get exciting, take the points...PURDUE!

Oregon at Washington State 7:30 ET

Cougars (-) over Ducks- After what happened with Oregon earlier in the year I still have a bad taste in my mouth thinking either with or against them. That was the Ducks only loss of the season after their overtime 30-27 win over Washington last week. Okay, so maybe now is the time to take advantage of strong trends that support 'our' position. Oregon is 0-4 straight-up and ATS after Washington and the Cougars are 8-0 ATS in their last eight meetings and are on a school record home winning streak. Take WASHINGTON STATE!

Mississippi State at L.S.U. 7:00 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Tigers- Man oh man, what a spot to be in. Here you are off a huge 36-16 upset win over Georgia and now you have a visitor that spanked you last year 37-7 so revenge should be on your mind but... what does it mean with Alabama up next? This is the second of three straight at home games for the Tigers and the go from the 7-point underdog to a 7-point favorite. Mississippi State averages 6.0 yards per rushing attempt and lead the nation in fewest touchdowns allowed with seven in six games. ATS trends are all Tigers as Bulldogs are 0-7 ATS on road against higher ranked team. This week they ebb that flow. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE!

Colorado at Washington 3:30 ET

Huskies (-) over Buffaloes- The Huskies had two weeks to recover from the pressure imposed on them by naming them the A-Play's Blow-Out Game of the year and they complied by crushing BYU 28-7. Now, after two weeks on the road including an OT loss to Oregon last week they return home to play an over-rated and shell-shocked Colorado squad that was brought back to reality with a 30-21 thrashing at USC as a 7-point favorite. Well, this time the odds makers have caught on and the Huskies are ready to howl. Take WASHINGTON!

N.C. State at Clemson 3:30 ET

Tigers (-) over Wolfpack- Let me start by saying if I had not already posted my NCAA Blow-Out Game of the Year (Washington 28-7 winner) this would be it. Don't be sucked into taking an undefeated conference rival and all those points. It's a SUCKERS BET! Don't do it. The trends here will support the Wolfpack on numerous counts including they fact that they are 18-3 ATS in their last 21 games following a bye, that they are 5-1 ATS in their last six trips here, the dog is 6-2 ATS in the last eight and to cap it off Clemson is 0-4 ATS in their last four at home. Well, why then...I guess THEY'RE DUE! Take CLEMSON!

Arizona at U.C.L.A. 10:30 ET

Wildcats (+) over Bruins- Yeaaa for the Bruins, it's a tough thing for a football team to lose week in and week out especially when you are out-manned. UCLA is off their an impressive 37-7 win (their first) over California while the Wildcats were getting pasted by Utah 42-10 and it wasn't that close. For UCLA the pressure is off and they will be in their glory for this week while Arizona at 3-4 needs this one outright if they are to have any bowl aspirations. Laying any points by the Bruins against anybody right now is a mistake. Take ARIZONA!

Cincinnati at Temple 12:00 ET

Owls (-) over Bearcats- Here we go again...Jerry called! He's right! Last week he called and pointed out unranked USC as a 7-point favorite over a #17 ranked Colorado and won easily. This week he called to remind me that ranked and unbeaten #21 Cincinnati (6-0) comes to Temple as an underdog to the Scarlet Knights (4-2). If you are looking for answers or a rational explanation as to how this or that is going to happen or why, for that matter it is going to happen. But, it should! Maybe, some people of 'influence' in the Philadelphia area want the Owls to shine or maybe there are conditions and circumstances surrounding this game that we never be privy to. By the way the longer the wait the better the 'price' will be! Take TEMPLE!

Carolina at Philadelphia 1:00 ET

Panthers (+) over Eagles- From what I have seen both through the Pre-season (0-4 ATS) and regular season Philadelphia does not pass the eye test. They are just not in sync as last season and injuries are having an impact. Carolina is about where we expected them to be with an inconsistent offense and an offense that is dependent on a quarterback that is at his best when on the move. One good thing that can be said about 'that' quarterback is that Cam Newton is 19-8 ATS as a dog coming off a loss including 11-2 ATS if getting more +3. Finally, Eagles are 12-18-1 ATS after Thursday games. Take CAROLINA!

New Orleans at Baltimore 4:05 ET

Ravens (-) over Saints- New Orleans and Drew Brees have had two weeks to savor their 4-1 record and Brees' personal accomplishments (500 TD passes and NFL total passing yards leader) with every Saint celebrated everywhere in the city. Baltimore meanwhile brings their lunchpail to work everyday and they will be ready. You see Brees have never defeated the Raves as he is 0-4 against this toughest of defenses. Baltimore often plays to the level of their competition as they are 6-1-1 ATS at home against teams with winning records. Take BALTIMORE!

Minnesota at New York Jets 1:00 ET

Jets over Vikings- Holy Moly as Austin Power might say as the Vikings come up a field goal and a tick favorite over the Jets. Now, New York has improved immensely with rookie quarterback Sam Darnold playing a very conservative game plans. The Jets have shocked a few opponents with a defense that thrives on turnovers that has produced wins over Detroit, Denver and Indianapolis. Minnesota has yet to show their stuff and maybe with Kirk Cousins running the show they never will get it together. The Vikings who have not been very impressive to date is 1-4-1 ARS after a straight-up win. Take J-E-T-S!

New England at Chicago 1:00 ET

Bears (+) over Patriots- I love it, I love that way the Bears just folded in Miami in a game that they thought they had won. And that was the problem, once you start thinking about next weeks opponent (New England) you can never get it back. Chicago blew late to the Dolphins because the Patriots were creeping into their minds. (even if not, it could have happened) But, the point should be that the Pat's will have their full attention for a full sixty minutes. New England handed Kansas City their first loss last Sunday night scoring 43 points. Here's the rub, NE is just 3-9-1 ATS after scoring 40 or more points and I have more, The Bears are 10-3 straight-up and 11-2 ATS at home against AFC East off a win (Thank you ML-Playbook). Anyway you slice it the Bears are the 'play.' Take CHICAGO!

Tennessee vs. L.A. Chargers 9:30 ET at Wembley Stadium, London

Titans (+) over Chargers- Don't be afraid here...it's a great spot for the Titans! San Diego (oops, Los Angeles has reeled off three straight wins and were very impressive in last weeks 38-14 trouncing of the Browns while Tennessee was totally humiliated 21-0 by Baltimore and it was not just the score. It was the was the Ravens just man-handled the Titans offensive line surrendering 11 quarterback sacks. The Chargers have to deal with a number of hurts and one of them is Melvin Gordon. Take TENNESSEE!
