This is a play on the KENNESAW ST. OWLS for our CFB Wednesday Enforcer. Jacksonville St. has won nine games in each of its first three seasons at the FBS level and the Gamecocks have won or shared first place in Conference USA and went to the title game both years in which they split. They are expected to contend again and sitting 3-2 overall, this includes a 1-0 start in the conference following a win over Middle Tennessee last week, a 10-point home victory. They now hit the road for the first time in the conference and come in as road favorites and they come in 0-2 on the highway but are favored based on past perception as we have this number at Kennesaw St. -2.1. Jacksonville St. is 1-3 in its history as road favorites including 0-2 ATS as a road favorite of seven points or less. The Owls are 1-3 which is obviously playing into this number as well with losses to Georgia St., one of the best teams in the Sun Belt Conference, Tennessee and last week at Arkansas St. by just three points. They came into FBS two years ago and went 2-10 in year one but surprised many last season by going 10-4, shared the conference title and won the C-USA Championship over Jacksonville St. 19-15. That brings in road revenge but not for us as that is something that is not usually easily attainable especially knowing Kennesaw St. is 7-1 ATS as a home underdog in its two years of existence. 10* (304) Kennesaw St. Owls

This is a play on the SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI GOLDEN EAGLES for our CFB Tuesday Attraction. This line is inflated as we have it at 6.7 and that number is taking the loss of Southern Miss quarterback Ethan Hampton who is out for the season into consideration as the new starter Landry Lyddy is not a step down and his numbers have been actually better. The Golden Eagles are 1-3, 0-3 against FBS teams with the losses against Auburn, Connecticut and Tulane on the road with the latter two taking place despite getting outgained by 83 yards combined. This is a young team that came into the season the third least experienced so growing pains were expected but now they have had time to work together and the one thing they need to shore up is their rushing defense but they are not facing a rushing powerhouse here. Troy is 2-2 with the lone FBS win coming against Sam Houston St. by three points where it was outgained and the Bearkats are currently power ranked a half-point below Southern Miss. The Trojans are off a loss at Utah St. which was the first win of the season for the Aggies and while this is the Sun Belt Conference opener, they could very well be partly looking ahead to West Division favorite Louisiana next week. Past history means nothing in college football but the public will be all over Troy knowing they are 5-0 straight up and ATS in the last five meetings, all wins by double digits. 10* (301) Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles

This is a play on the CAROLINA PANTHERS for our NFL Sunday Primetime. We have a future on Detroit with their total wins at 10.5 and while at 2-1, it has not been a good 2-1 as 0-3 was a definite possibility with the two wins coming down to the wire. The Lions have one of the best offensive rosters in the league but still have a suspect offensive line and it is the other side which has been the real concern. Detroit is No. 31 in EPA/Play with both passing and rushing being near the bottom of the list and now they are back on the road where they will be heavily bet based on their road success off a home game but those past results were with better teams. Carolina blew a big one last week against Cleveland to fall to 1-2 and the home crowd helps in a rare primetime spot. This team has been sneaky good coming off a loss as the Panthers are currently on a 12-0 run off a straight up loss. Here, we play against teams after a home game where both teams scored 24 or more points against opponent off an upset loss as a road favorite. This situation is 28-9 ATS (75.7 percent) since 2017. 10* (278) Carolina Panthers

This is a play on the ATLANTA FALCONS for our NFL Monday Primetime. New Orleans hosts longtime rival Atlanta for the 20th anniversary of the return to the Superdome following the destruction of Hurricane Katrina. The hometown Saints are going to be very popular based on that and as of Sunday late morning, two-thirds of the money is on the Saints and the line has come down from the opener with early money on the Falcons. Atlanta looked like a new team with quarterback Michael Penix Jr. but we have to decipher if it was the Falcons turning a corner or if the Packers are just that bad. It’s a little bit one both but in this matchup, the Falcons do have the better roster at the playmaker spots and their defense is actually playing exceptional as they are ranked No. 3 in Defensive Success Rate and No. 3 in both Dropback and Rushing Success Rate. Offensively, this is a game where Bijan Robinson could go off again as the Saints come in ahead of only Dallas in Defensive Success Rate and tied for last place in Rushing Success Rate. This season, teams with a rest advantage are 7-3 straight up and 7-2-1 ATS and here, we play on teams outrushing their opponents by 60 or more ypg, after allowing 99 or less rushing yards in three straight games. This situation is 21-5 (80.8 percent) since 2022. 10* (279) Atlanta Falcons

This is a play on the MIAMI DOLPHINS for NFL Ultimate Underdog. This is the buy low/sell high game of the day with the latter not really being a sell high spot because it is only based on record. The Vikings are 3-0 straight up and against the number and are laying double digits only because of the public perception of the opponent. This offense is atrocious and while some can be blamed on the rotating quarterbacks, it revolves around the whole unit. The Vikings are the first team to start 3-0 with under 250 total yards in each game since the 1957 Browns and they are at the bottom of every major offensive metric category this season. The Dolphins are competing for the worst team in the NFL so this is a hold your nose play like last week and they were covering the entire game until a late penalty changed momentum and a turnover did them in but we are right back on them as ugly dogs playing an overpriced team. Here, we play on road teams off a home loss by 10 or more points, in the first month of the season. This situation is 46-21 ATS (68.7 percent) since 2017. 10* (269) Miami Dolphins

This is a play on the HOUSTON TEXANS for our NFL Supreme Annihilator. To no surprise, Houston is 0-3 once again as the Texans have been one of the slowest starting teams in recent years and this time around, the offense needs a boost. This is the spot for that to happen as Dallas possesses one of the worst defenses in the NFL as it sits near the bottom of the league in ypc, ypa and yppl while allowing 387 ypg and 27 ppg. So far, 29 different players have taken at least one defensive snap for the Cowboys and while the experience might be beneficial, it shows limited top line talent. The Texans offense gets a boost with the return of Nico Collins which comes after C.J. Stroud off a horrible game. Dallas is 1-2 following a loss against Baltimore in Rio de Janeiro and that travel could have an adverse effect on the Cowboys and knowing they have a short week with Tampa Bay on Thursday. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 allowing 24 or more ppg, after scoring 30 points or more in 2 straight games. This situation is 35-10 ATS (77.8 percent) since 2017. 10* (260) Houston Texans

This is a play on the NEW YORK JETS for our NFL Signature Enforcer. The Bears and Case Keenum came through for us Monday night with the whole world to see and they are now again trending high even with Caleb Williams still out. Keenum had his time to shine but will go back to backup as Tyson Bagent will get the call and while we totally respect what head coach Ben Johnson will bring to the table, this is a tough spot for Chicago coming off that win and a divisional game with Green Bay on deck. It will be tough for the offense to replicate what it did against a much better defense. The Jets are 1-2 with both losses coming in games they could have won and you can see the confidence from this team that was not evident last season. The defense as mentioned is No. 7 in Rushing EPA and on the other side, Geno Smith can continue his success against a bad defense. Here, we play against favorites of 3.5 to 10 points off an upset win as a home underdog, with a winning record on the season playing a losing team. This situation is 43-19 ATS (69.4 percent) since 1983. 10* (255) New York Jets

This is a play on the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS for our NFL Div. Game of the Month. This is a play We played against the Bills last Sunday and they somehow not only won, but covered the touchdown margin against the Chargers in what was a 3% win probability prior to that. They have opened the season 3-0 both straight up and against the number and are in another fade spot against a team no one wants to be behind. The Buffalo offense was not very efficient last week and a bounce back can be expected but they will be facing a good defense that has allowed only 17 ppg, 278 ypg and 5.0 yppl and while struggle is not the right term, they will be tested. The Patriots have been awful and Drake Maye has been on an even worse level which makes this the ideal spot to back him and New England as they face one of the worst defenses in the league so this is the spot to get right. Here, we play on road underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points after one or more consecutive losses against the spread, in the first month of the season. This situation is 58-27 ATS (68.2 percent) since 2017. 10* (253) New England Patriots

This is a play on the USC TROJANS for our Big 10 Game of the Year. USC got blitzed at home against Oregon despite Ducks quarterback Dante Moore getting knocked out which evidently fired them up. The Trojans need to rebound as this is a statement game after that bad look situation and the fact they have to travel to Penn St. next week and we all know how they struggle in the Eastern Time Zone. The season is far from over but a loss here and they could be cooked. This is a number they can easily cover following a loss. Washington was expected to make some noise in the Big Ten Conference but it has been far from impressive. The Huskies opened with the Apple Cup and played a closer than expected game and the other FBS games resulted in a two-point win over Utah St., which got its first win just last week, and a three-point loss to Minnesota at home and this marks their first road game. This looks like a team not into playing. Here, we play on home teams with a winning percentage of .800 or better after failing to cover the spread in three out of their last four games and playing a team with a winning record. This situation is 40-15 ATS (72.7 percent) since 2017. 10* (182) USC Trojans

This is a play on the MARSHALL THUNDERING HERD for our CFB Ultimate Underdog. We played Marshall in its season opener and it forgot to get off the bus as it was outgained 487-447 but has since won three straight games, albeit unimpressively as they came by a combined nine points but wins are wins. We are back on the Thundering Herd here in their Sun Belt Conference opener and this team was picked to contend in the East Division with four other teams including this week’s opponent. Despite the average results, the offense is playing well with the exception of the Penn St. game as quarterback Carlos Del Rio-Wilson is leading the team efficiently with excellent numbers. James Madison is 4-0 both straight up and ATS and the latter is helping up with this number which is overinflated. The Dukes are part of that contending group as this is a really good team but to be favored by this many points is a bit much. They have hardly faced an offense with a pulse and now that changes. Here, we play on road teams allowing 440 or more ypg and after allowing 6.75 or more yards/play in their previous game going up against teams allowing between 280 to 330 ypg. This situation is 22-5 ATS (81.5 percent) since 2022. 10* (147) Marshall Thundering Herd
