There were those that had a notion that maybe Green Bay had turned their season around. Tennessee squashed that authoritatively in Lambeau to win 27-17, which has them on a 7-1 SU run, covering the spread each time.
The Packers’ defense plays good enough to lose and Aaron Rodgers is in decline without blocking and receivers (Sammy Watkins we are talking about you) who run lazy routes.
Football bettors wondered if Tulane would bounce back after losing to UCF at home last Saturday. There might not have been a red wave as some forecasted in politics recently, but there was a huge Green Wave in New Orleans as Tulane punished SMU 59-24.
That sets up the Green Wave at Cincinnati with the winner likely to play UCF for the AAC title the week after.
The Boston Bruins moved to 15-2 with their 4-1 victory over Philadelphia. The Bruins have opened up 10-0 at home and pucks bettors should note in the B’s 15 triumphs, 12 times they have covered the puck line.
Upsets happen in November in college basketball but No. 20 Michigan was whipped wire to wire by Arizona State 87-62. What stood out was that the Sun Devils were 3-0 going into the matchup and were playing outstanding defense.
They were shooting under 36% as a team, but on Thursday ASU found their shooting eye and made 60.4% and handily covered the +7.5 over the Wolverines.
This week we cover the top games like Utah vs. Oregon, USC vs. UCLA, and Illinois vs. Michigan, along with at least 10 other terrific matchups against the NCAAF odds.
We have released our Best Bets, Top Parlay, and Value Picks.
Off the Titans upset Thursday, we move along to dissect the Cowboys vs. Vikings, plus every other game on the board, and release our Best Bets, Upset Alert, and Top Value Picks for Week 11.
We break down the best ATS, Totals, and Moneylines to choose from Friday and Saturday and return Sunday to help you understand the Nuggets vs Mavericks rematch.
In college buckets, we have more great tournament action this weekend like the Continental Tire tourney, the Hall of Fame Tip-Off, and the Empire Classic with free NCAAB picks in each.
With a big card Saturday, review our picks on the ML, Puck Line and totals.
We ramp up our coverage for the 2022 FIFA World Cup which is a must-read.
With all the snow coming to Buffalo, the NFL moved the Bills vs. Browns game to Detroit Sunday. What seems a bit odd is that Buffalo only went from -8 to -7.5 not playing on their home field.
Does that tell us without any weather issue in Buffalo to start the week the Bills would have been -10 to -11 over Cleveland? Buffalo will play in the Motor City Sunday and Thanksgiving.
On a side note, the Akron vs. Buffalo college game has been canceled and likely will not be played this season.
Check this to get the full story of what we are talking about.
With the Texas Longhorns going to post at least four losses on the gridiron, the basketball team routed No. 2 Gonzaga at home 93-74. Texas will move up from No. 11 and there is a media buzz in basketball circles that coach Chris Beard might have the best team in the country at this time.
No question that was an impressive performance but let’s wait and see how the Horns perform against Creighton and Illinois in the first week of December before making them the chosen ones.
Though the lines have not moved much, a good amount of sharp bettors are taking Baylor and UCLA as home underdogs over 10-0 TCU and 9-1 USC respectively.
Check out the college records.
College basketball rankings mean nothing in the early season. With the transfer portal, graduation, and players leaving for the NBA, it has never been tougher to figure out how good any team is.
For the most part, to make early season rankings you have to go by reputation and program strength over time, but until you see a team play a few times, getting a great read is difficult.
Gonzaga is the current case study and they don’t have a rim protector and guards that look ready for the NBA Draft and this might well be a Top 20, not Top 5 squad for coach Mark Few.
In the sports betting community, possibly the most talked about game this week is Army as a -10 or more point home favorite over Connecticut.
Everyone almost universally agreed on why are the Black Knights this big of a favorite. However, half the sharper bettors are taking Army and the other half is on the Huskies.
The game is Iowa vs. Minnesota for the Floyd of Rosedale trophy. Both these hated rivals are fighting to win the Big Ten West. The Hawkeyes have kept the trophy for seven straight years and they are 2.5-point road underdogs and they have 55% of the bets made.
The Golden Gophers have 93% of the money backing them. Also, the total is an incredibly low 32.5 and the cash and bets are approximately 75% Over. Where are you going with this Big Ten battle?
Let’s get some winners! Have a super weekend and see you back here Monday!
