It’s the first weekend of December and we have college football champions to crown. This is part of our football focus and we have college and pro football information like top trends, line moves and what the public is betting on.
We also have tidbits on Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Bucks and Chris Fallica of ESPN taking his sports betting knowledge to FOX.
Probably the best way to describe how Buffalo beat New England last night was – systematically disabled. The Bills were better in every facet and at the Patriots’ press conference, Bill Belichick said as much. Buffalo also did something historic.
Though there was only one game last night, it was a good one with Detroit winning in OT over Dallas 131-125. That was still a bad loss by the Mavericks who were an eight-point road favorite. Dallas is the top Play-Against team in The Association at 5-15 ATS.
The Pac-12 opened conference play Wednesday but had five games last night. Favorites went just 2-3 ATS and the absolute shocker was No. 4 Arizona being pummeled at Utah 81-66 as seven-point road favorites.
The Wildcats had looked like one of the best teams in the country but shot 35.2 percent, including 4-for-28 from deep, and was outrebounded by 9. An ugly showing by Arizona.
One team that has caught this handicapper’s eye is Connecticut. The Huskies barely covered the -9 in their 74-64 win over Oklahoma State due to a meager second half, nevertheless, coach Danny Hurley has a very solid all-around club that can get better.
The biggest story of last night was Seattle winning their seventh straight game. The second-year Kraken were down 2-0 early to Washington and tied the game with just under three minutes left in regulation and scored just seven seconds into overtime.
Seattle has three good scoring lines and is third in the league in scoring and is the third-best bet this season at +10.1 units.

Chris Fallica, known as ‘The Bear” on ESPN for all his college football betting takes and information is moving to FOX next season. Here is the story.
ESPN Stats has the answer.
Sub .600 teams in CFB championship games with same-season revenge are 6-0 ATS since 2000. UNT owns a profitable 5-2 SU and 6-1 ATS mark vs foes that surrendered 22 or more PPG this season (read: UTSA).
You might not have heard, but tonight’s C-USA Championship game features North Texas QB Austin Aune (age 29) vs. UTSA QB Frank Harris (23). Last night’s Bills vs. Patriots QB matchup had a younger combined age than tonight’s Conference USA clash. (Josh Allen (26) vs. Mac Jones (24))
Tom Herman, who failed at Texas, is back at Florida Atlantic as the head coach. If he’s as good of a coach as he showed at Houston, he’ll have success at FAU as Lane Kiffin and others proved you can win there.
Also, Cade McNamara is going to Iowa after transferring from Michigan. Now the hope is Coach Kirk Ferentz updates his 1990s offense to what other teams are using today.
In college hoops Friday night, Northeastern tumbled from +12 to +10.5 at Georgia Tech. Though the betting has not been heavy, at 02:45 PM EST, 72% of the bets were on the Yellow Jackets and 75% of the money was on underdog Northeastern. Given the choice, what would you do?
Let’s get some winners! Have a super-profitable weekend and see you back here Monday!
