#490 Tampa Bay Buccaneers pick (8:20 edt) ESPN

Take the team names away from this and look what you are getting here.  You are getting a team that is 2-0 with 2 SU wins as underdogs that is playing amazing on offense going against a team that is 0-1-1 SU with a defense that looks terrible and an offense that is too busy bickering with each other than playing football.  And you can get the undefeated team ALONG WITH POINTS!!!  This line is because of the team's past reputation - not current performance.  Think about it.  If Pittsburgh were the 2-0 team and Tampa the 0-1-1 road team this line with be Pittsburgh -7.  Take the amazing value here on the home standing Buccs.

#487 New England Patriots -7 (8:20 edt) NBC

Seriously, the Lions have absolutely NO CHANCE to win this game.  The Patriots will be mad as hell of off their bad loss last week and New England gets the services of a very talented WR who the Browns basically gave away for off the field issues.  Detroit's defense has been embarrassingly bad so far this season and you know Brady will be ready to get a win here in what is very close to where he played his college football.  This one is going to get ugly in favor of the Patriots. 

#407 Wisconsin Badgers -3.5 (8:30 edt) FOX

Think the Badgers might be in a bad mood here??? They lost SU last week at home to BYU as more than 3 touchdown underdogs.  That will have them ready to rip someone's head off here.  Wisconsin is 21-6 ATS on the road including 13-3 ATS as road favorites and they have covered 3 of their last 4 trips to Iowa.  All signs point to a win and cover here by the Badgers. 

 #310 USC Trojans -3.5 (10:30 edt) ESPN

I know the Trojans have looked terrible so far this season but that makes them SUPER motivated for a win here in this conference game since they are already 0-1 in PAC 12 play.  They also have revenge from a loss last year to Washington State and they are 4-1 ATS at home with conference revenge.  Don't be fooled by the Cougars 3-0 SU record - they played Wyoming, San Jose State and Eastern Washington - big step up in opposition here.  Washington State has only covered 2 of their last 8 road games.  Look for a big effort from USC here to get this win and cover.

#301 New York Jets +3 (8:20 edt) NFL Network

OK let me understand this.  I can get a Jets team here that is rejuvenated with their newly drafted QB and with a defense that is playing very well right now against a Cleveland team that has not won an NFL game since December of 2016.  Oh - and I am GETTING 3.5 points???  I will be all over that.  Yes, the Browns have looked better than last season but they don't have the mindset of a favorite and they don't know how to win close games.  Take the Jets and the points here.

#970 New York Yankees with Severino moneyline (7:00 edt) ESPN

Love me some Yankees here since they will be super fired up for a shot at their arch-rival after getting swept on their last trip into Boston.  This one goes at Yankees Stadium where the Bronx Bombers have been much more successful against Boston this season.  Price is solid but he has had his struggles against the Yankees in the past - look for the New York bats to get to him early here on their way to a win.

#290 Chicago Bears -4.5 (8:20 edt) ESPN

This looks like the end of the run for the Seahawks here.  Their defense is a mere shell of it's former self and they are just 7-10 ATS on the road over the past 2 seasons.  Chicago will be mad as ever the way they blew their opening game to the Packers, look for a strong effort from them here in their home opener to get a W and you say the havoc that Mack can create, he will only get better with a full week of practice.  Take the Bears here.

#287 New York Giants +3 (8:20 edt) NBC

Love the G-Men here getting a field goal since the Dallas offense looks to be amazingly awful and the Giants are 12-3 ATS behind QB Manning in divisional games coming in off a loss.  Also the Giants are 8-2-1 ATS as division underdogs with revenge in this Sunday night time slot.  Dallas has been a terrible ATS team at home for many years and this looks to be another spot where they won't cover the number.  Take the Giants here.

#204 TCU Horned Frogs +13.5 (8:00 edt) ABC

I know the Buckeyes have looked amazingly impressive this season so far but now they are playing an opponent with an actual legitimate defense and offense - the culture shock may be a big deal to them and they won't have Urban Liar on the sideline to calm them down.  Remember they are going with a QB in his first college season so this is going to be a tough atmosphere for him here.  TCU coach Patterson is 18-5 ATS in his coaching career as an underdog of more than a touchdown and TCU is 9-1-1 as double digit non-conference underdogs.  Take the doubles here with TCU to watch and win with Anthony!

#105 Georgia State Panthers +27 (7:00 edt) ESPN

I am taking this ton of points here since in their last 12 games against non-Power 5 conference teams the Panthers have stayed within this big number and Memphis is not exactly the best of the non-Power 5 conferences.  Georgia State is 14-5 ATS as a road underdog and they will be motivated for a better showing than last week where they got slammed by N C State.  Memphis is just 1-7-1 ATS as weekday home favorites and they won't be getting too fired up about playing this Georgia State team.  Take the Panthers and the points here.
