NFL and College football for 10/25-10/28
**BONUS PLAY AT BOTTOM**
College football
Penn State -5.5
We see Penn state steamrolling through eat lancing and coming up big in this game. Michigan State has shown that they do not have the weapons on offense that penn state has. We love penn state tonight.
Texas -1
Texas is on the road this week but that will not stop them from what is inevitable. Sam Ehlinger has been rolling this year even when they have lost games. Their defense will come up big in this game and be able to stop the TCU offense dead in their tracks.
LSU -11
Joe Burrow. That is all. This will be your 2019 Heisman winner. This will be his Hiesman moment. LSU will come out firing and will be able to prevail, This game is in death valley and it is called death valley for a reason. Watch as lsU cashes you this ticket and you grow your bank roll.
Boston college -34
Clemson has not been like the Clemson of old. They have not really been blowing out teams like they have been in the past. Trevor Lawrence has regressed a bit and this team is just asking to lose. Take Boston College and watch as they hold on and cover this game and grow your bank roll.
Notre Dame -1
This has been a wacky football season to say the least and we know that teams have had a tough time covering in key games. We are on Notre Dame train here as they visit Michigan in the big house. The major difference here between the two teams is that Notre Dame’s season is not over yet, but they must win here. Michigan is essentially drawing dead, not having key wins and also losing multiple games. Michigan has had issues scoring against top 25 teams, scoring 21 vs. Penn St. and 10 vs. Iowa. We just don’t see Michigan Keeping pace with Notre Dame and the Irish have proven they are a contender for the final 4. Notre Dame is a top top scoring team and have been in every game they have played this season. With their season on the line, more experienced team, and the better QB they Irish are the right pick in a coin flip. Take Notre Dame here as they go into Michigan and extend their season and chance for the playoffs. We see line makers having this line off by a few. Notre Dame 24-20 Wins.
NFL
colts -5.5 v. Broncos
Head coach Frank Reich should be called the Real QB whisperer for the miracles
he’s performed both as a QB himself in college and the pros and now as the man
behind Jacoby Brissett’s success after being traded away from the Pats. He was
behind Nick Folk when he went on that Super Bowl run. I like the Colts as a very
well rounded team with no real weaknesses. The Colts have the best offensive
line which will give Brissett plenty of time to go deep and Mack is due for
another big day rushing. The Colts have some key players returning and at home
versus an inconsistent Broncos team, I see an easy cover.
Seahawks at Falcons under 53
With the Falcons season essentially over; especially when they traded away
Mohamed Sanu to the Pats this week and QB Ryan injured, I don’t see this as
being a high scoring game. Backup QB Matt Schaub was never any good, which
is why he’s a backup. I think the Seahawks will use the ground game and use up
the clock to coast to an easy, low-scoring win.
Seahawks -3.5 v Falcons
For many of the reasons stated above, I like the Seahawks to dominate and
easily put the Falcons away. The Falcons have the second worst defense in the
League, only the Dolphins are worse, and now without Ryan and Sanu, their
offense will suffer. Even if Ryan plays, he will be less effective on a gimpy ankle,
just see what Mahomes looked like on a bad ankle. I think the Seahawks will
regroup after a tough loss at home to the Ravens and get back on track against a
Falcons team in disarray.
Cleveland Browns +12
There is a lot of sharp money coming in on the Browns and you need to bet this game before it gets too low. The Browns won’t win this game but they will keep it close. The Browns season has not been what the hype was all about, but with the fire inside Bake Mayfield we do think he keeps it competitive as does the Sharp money. The Browns have been a decent team in games on the road, Patriots are set up to take the fall here and not cover. The Patriots are coming off a Monday night slaughter and have a shortened week vs. the Browns. We see the Browns losing, but covering 21-10. Take the Browns and lay the 12.
Philly +2
The Eagles are in a good position to steal a road win away from the over hyped Bills. Yes, the Bills defense is legit and are top 10 in every defensive category, but the Eagles coming off an embarrassing loss should se the stage for a good game offensively from them. Jared Allen will have to prove if he can yet again beat an NFL defense at home as the Eagles are going to be fired up to try and win this one to save their season hopes. We know buffalo has been good this year, but this has a let down game written all over it. Take the Eagles +2 here as they edge out the Bills to send buffalo to 5-2. Philly 24-21.
BONUS PICK!!!
Cardinals +10.5 v. Saints
I know it’s not popular to pick against the Saints at home, but with Brees saying
he’s coming back to play after being injured in Week 2, I think he might be a
little rusty and his lack of practice time with his receivers should slow them
down a bit at least. As of today, Friday, it is unclear if he’s starting, but the
offense is giving snaps to both QB’s in practice, so it appears he’s ready. Patrick
Peterson is a big boost to the Cards defense and will likely match up against
Thomas all afternoon, which should keep this from being a blowout.
