Taking GREEN BAY. Not over thinking here. Dome team in cold weather. Aaron Rodgers gets his coach fired and I expect a huge day. Not just for him, but the entire offense. Defense is what it is. This is really a dead number - I don't think this is a FG game. This is GB running away by 2+ TDs as the Falcons, already sitting in last place, see their season slip away further. 10* Money Bomb GREEN BAY PACKERS.

Taking the SAINTS. Have these guys at -7 that I put in last Sunday. Have them in Super Contest -8. No problem laying double digits today. New Orleans with rest. New Orleans with revenge. New Orleans defense vastly improved since Game 1 (we did have Tampa). New Orleans with 7 sacks last vs Dallas. New Orleans off worse offensive game since 2010. I"m not impressed with Tampa beating Washington, SF and Carolina at home. The first 2 offenses scare nobody. And Carolina, well, they were 6-2 at one point, now 6-6, so they are sputtering. Tampa defense may look improved. But they won't shut down a determined Saints offense. Bucs do have a great offense. #1 offense, #1 passing in the league. But prone to TOs. The defense is 27th overall, 28th against pass. Hello Brees to Thomas for 180 and 2 TDs. I'm looking at Kimara, Ingram and even Taysom Hill to have a big impact today. 4* Money Maker NO SAINTS

Taking the PATRIOTS. I am sure the 20 something people ahead of me in the Super Contest will be on the home dogs. They see Miami's 27-20 win last year and think more of the same. Well, we here Brady talking about how Dolphins play good and we don't in Miami. I am expecting more of what we have seen in 3 of the last 4 encounters between these two teams. They have been 35-7, 35-17 and 35-14. 5* Best Bet NE PATRIOTS

Taking the CHARGERS. I think they are just begging you to take Cincy. Look- I had the Steelers last week. Thought I was sitting pretty at the half. And then here come LAC. Now, we have had these guys a few times this year. I will grab them here. No let-down. This is a very good team. Both coaches for me are crap. And the guy on the other sideline should be run out of town after this season. Back up QB vs a tough defense. Potent offense vs the worse defense in the league. Chargers are scoring 35-40 today. Does Cincy get 20? 8* Sure Shot LA CHARGERS

Taking the STEELERS. Lost a brutal game on these guys last week. I am the first to say that I get you looking at Oakland here. Big Ben has some brutal road numbers. That being said though, I can't fade Pitt here. In a AFC North dog-fight, they need wins. Off that loss, they need a win. With their star fill in RB out, they really need a win. Raiders for some crazy win won at Arizona and cost me in that game. Last I checked, this team is, for a lack of a better word, tanking. They didn't want to pay Mack. They didn't want to pay Cooper either. I like their TE. And if they don't make any adjustments from LW vs LAC, a 40-20 win will turn into another mind-boggling 30-27 game. Big Ben should be able to pick apart this bad defense. 4* Money Maker PITT STEELERS

Taking the GIANTS here. Eventually this team would win some games. Too much talent for even Eli to screw up. Redskins a mess. 5* Best Bet NY GIANTS

Taking the PISTONS. Off a tough loss, I expect a bounce back this afternoon. 4* Money Maker DETROIT PISTONS

Taking the SABRES. Buffalo now with 4 straight losses after Tuesday's home OT loss to Toronto. - Well rested and angry, I will lay the short number here vs Philly. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO SABRES

Taking the ROCKETS. I really try to pick and choose spots in NBA. We had a nice revenge spot last night Golden State, and we have another here with Houston. Dallas beat them by 20. Now, after scoring 91 in 2 straight road losses, Rockets with a shot at pay-back. If we get a combined 30 from Harden and Paul we are in trouble vs any NBA team. That has been the output the last couple games from our leaders. I am looking for a big game and a 10pt win from the visitors. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON ROCKETS

Taking ARMY. I know when these guys play, you can toss out records and spreads. But this Army team is pretty good this year. I think they should cash at least a 10pt win this afternoon. Maybe the Sooners overlooked them at home in that over-time affair. But Army came out the next week, no let-down, hang-over, and took it to a pretty good Buffalo team on the road putting up 42 points. At 3-9 Navy is wrapping up a long season. Army looking to for back to back 10 win seasons. 4* Money Maker ARMY

Taking FLORIDA. Gators still a Top 25 program in my ratings. This game should come down to the wire and I'll grab the home dog. 4* Money Maker FLORIDA GATORS

Taking OKLAHOMA STATE. Grabbing the small home fave with 5 double digit scores. Plus 2 guys off the bench who contribute. Off b2b losses, Cowboys need a win and an undefeated Houston team will have their full attention. 4* Money Maker OKLAHOMA STATE

Taking NEBRASKA. Like this Big 10 school. Creighton on the road for the first time. 4* Money Maker NEBRASKA

Taking AUBURN. I like this team a lot. Clearly a Top 5 program. I think they punish Dayton with a 20pt win. 4* Money Maker AUBURN

Taking TOLEDO. I know people like this Marshall team. But the Rockets can push it and keep pace. 4* Money Maker TOLEDO

Taking CAL IRVINE.---

Games not posted on site right now

4* Holy Cross 1pm vs Rhode Island ----- 4* Hofstra 4pm vs Rider ------ 4* Vermont 7pm vs Harvard

Taking the WARRIORS. GS doesn't have to bring their 'A' game most of the time. But against the Bucks, I expect a peak performance from the Warriors. Bucks crushed these guys by 23 in Golden State. I would think nothing short of pay-back on hand tonight. 4* Money Maker GS WARRIORS

Taking GREENSBORO. Have cashed with these guys a few times already. They are a top mid-major program. Elon will be bringing up the rear in the CAA, while NCG should be dancing for the So Con. Greensboro crushed these guys last year 75-44 and I would think about 15-20 win is on tap tonight. 4* Money Maker NC GREENSBORO

Taking the COLORADO AVALANCHE 4* Money Maker

Going OVER the total. Had this on the Free Pick Video the other night. And have had the over in Ottawa games a couple times. 4* Total Money OVER

Taking COLUMBUS. Have to grab these guys in this spot. Off a 9-6 loss. Giving up 9 goals. I expect a huge defensive effort tonight. 4* Money Maker COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS

Taking DRAKE. Milwaukee back from dropping a pair of games in Ireland. I think Drake will dictate their tempo and the Panthers don't shoot well enough to cover even this small number. 4* Money Maker DRAKE BULLDOGS

Fellas. I don't know what to say. Northeastern really wet the bed for us. But another near miss by a bucket with CMU. This is starting to remind me of 2 years ago when I had nearly 55 games decided by a half to 3 points, all in the wrong direction. Just one play as of now - Taking LOYOLA MARYMOUNT. 4* Money Maker -- - Texas, Cal , Rio Grande could be in play later today.

Taking NORTH TEXAS. Have these guys as the #2 in CUSA. Indiana State the middle of MVC. Short line, you can go ML. 4* Money Maker NORTH TEXAS

Taking TEXAS. As double digit faves they lose to Radford. They won't be overlooking Shaka's old school. I think they run VCU out of the building tonight. 4* Money Maker TEXAS
