This is a play on the SYRACUSE ORANGE for our Friday Game of the Week. Liberty is off to a 3-0 straight up and ATS start but the schedule has not been tough. Syracuse is 2-1 and its schedule has been equal. A Friday home game at night is an is an advantage. The Orange are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games after accumulating less than 275 total yards in their previous game. Here, we play against favorites of 3.5 to 10 points in a game involving two passing teams averaging 8.3 ypa, after allowing 5.5 or less passing ypa last game. This situation is 33-10 ATS (76.7 percent)over the last 10 seasons. 10* (310) Syracuse Orange

This is a play on the CAROLINA PANTHERS for our Thursday Primetime Punisher. Houston is a mess at this point on offense and on a short week, it will not get better. Deshawn Watson is inactive again. Davis Mills, the third-round draft pick, completed just 8 of 18 passes for 102 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the loss to the Browns. We are not sure that he can carry this team at this point. The addition of Sam Darnold so far looks like a great pick up for Carolina, which is now 2-0 to start the season. Coaching is huge and the Panthers have that here. Here, we play against home teams with a scoring defense last season that allowed 24 or more ppg, after a playing a game where 50 total points or more were scored. This situation is 56-22 ATS (71.8 percent) since 1983. 10* (301) Carolina Panthers

This is a play on the BALTIMORE ORIOLES for our A.L. Favorite of the Month. Baltimore has lost two straight games by one run but it has shown to bounce back in such situations despite possessing the worst record in the American League. Texas is 55-97 which is the second worst record in the American League. The Rangers 22-55 road record is the worst in the American League and they are 13-39 in their last 52 road games against left-handed starters.

This is a play on the WASHINGTON NATIONALS for our N.L. Game of the Month. Washington took Game Two of this series after dropping the opener on Monday. The Nationals have struggled on the road but this is another good matchup. The Washington offense has compiled a .259 batting average as a team this season which is fourth best in baseball. Miami is hitting just .234 which is third worst in MLB and Washington should be able to take advantage again. The Marlins are 15-42 in their last 57 games after scoring two runs or less in their previous game. Here, we play on National League teams hitting between .255 to .269 and with an on base percentage of .350 or better over their last 20 games going up against a starting pitcher with an ERA of 3.70 or better.

This is a play on the DETROIT LIONS for our NFL Monday Game of the Month. This is the perfect bounce back spot for Green Bay to get back on track but it is laying way too much on Monday night. We should expect a much better performance from the offence that scored just three points against the Saints but defensively, the Packers will continue to experience some growing pains. Detroit put up a solid effort against the 49ers and while the defense stunk, the offense had a great showing with 33 points. Jared Goff went off for 338 yards with three touchdowns against one of the best defenses in the NFL.

On offense, quarterback Kyler Murray threw four touchdown passes while also running for another. Minnesota is coming off a poor loss at Cincinnati as it fell 27-24 in overtime. This team is talented enough to overcome that and this is a good number. Here, we play on road underdogs or pickems poor passing defense from last season that allowed 230 or more passing ypg, after allowing eight or more passing ypa in their last game. This situation is 29-8 ATS (78.4 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (287) Minnesota Vikings

Sophomore Bryce Young has taken over at quarterback for Davey O'Brien Award winner Mac Jones. This week Florida players said the loss motivated them throughout the offseason, knowing they would get another crack at the Crimson Tide this fall. Florida coach Dan Mullen is going for his first career win against Nick Saban. He beat Saban in 2008 as the Florda offensive coordinator but is winless against him as a head coach.
