#490 4* Tampa Bay Buccaneers pick (8:20 edt) ESPN

How can you now love Tampa here?  They are playing very well - especially on offense - and they will be super fired up for a Monday night game against the big, bad Steelers.  Tampa has covered their last 8 games as Monday night home underdogs when playing off of a non-division game.  Pittsburgh is a dumpster fire right now blowing the game in Cleveland and not being able to stop the Chiefs offense as all.  Add the in-fighting and bickering going on the locker room and it is not a pretty picture in Steelers land.  Take the Monday Night home dog here.  Thank you and good luck. 

 #487 7* New England -6.5 (8:20 edt) NBC

What a horrible spot for Detroit here since they have to take on the Patriots off of a rare SU loss and Brady will be extra motivated returning close to where he played his college football and the Patriots get to try out their newly acquired wide receiver who will be rejuvenated joining a new team.  Detroit has looked pitiful so far in 2 games and there is no reason to think that will change here.  You know the lousy record of Belichick former assistants going up against him as head coaches as well.  Look for a huge blowout win by the Patriots, I may be at a craps table at one of the Detroit casinos before this one is over.  Thank you and good luck.

#485 - #486 5* Dallas Cowboys - Seattle Seahawks UNDER 41 (4:25 edt) FOX

Who is going to score in this game???  Seattle's offense has looked horrible with an offensive line that can't block anyone and the Dallas offense has been struggling as well.  This is Seattle's home opener so look for the defense to be extra fired up by the home crowd and they should be very successful against a Cowboys team that has scored just 28 points in 2 games total this season.  Dallas has gone under in both of their games so far this season and facing the awful Seattle offense look for that trend to continue here.  Thank you and good luck.

#465 4* Tennessee Titans +10 (1:00 edt)

This is an awesome spot to go against the Jaguars here coming off of a huge emotional revenge win against the Patriots.  The Jags are just 1-5 ATS with Bortles calling the signals playing off of a home underdog win and they have covered only 1 of their last 6 games playing the 2nd home game of a 3 game home stand.  I know Gabbert is the likely QB for Tennessee but that is not a big problem since he is 5-2-1 ATS in his career in division road games and he has covered 4 of his past 6 starts.  Take the Titans and the points here.  Thank you and good luck. 
 

#409 7* Arizona State Sun Devils +17.5 (10:30 edt) ESPN

Love the Sun Devils and the points here since Arizona State has covered their last 12 games in a row against the Huskies and Washington is 6-15 ATS as a double digit conference favorite.  Couple that with Arizona State's 6-1 ATS record as a double digit underdog and you have a powerful play.  Look for coach Edwards to keep the Devils within this number here.  Thank you and good luck.

#357 5* Florida Gators -4.5 (7:00 edt) ESPN

Have to LOVE the Gators here since Florida has dominated this series winning 12 of the last 13 games SU between these teams.  Tennessee is just 1-4 ATS as home underdogs of less than a touchdown and they have a look ahead revenger against Georgia for a 41-0 loss last season.  The Vols have only covered 1 of their last 5 at home against Florida and they got hammered by West Virginia in their one game against a real team this season.  Look for Florida to win this one and cover easily.  Thank you and good luck.

#340 4* Cincinnati Bearcats -8 (noon edt) ESPNU

Cincinnati is off and running this season sitting at 3-0 SU and their defense is playing awesome right now.  The Bearcats are 28-11 ATS as favorites when they win SU and they have been awesome SU against MAC teams.  Ohio's defense looks very suspect here giving up 77 points in 2 games so far against Howard and Virginia.  Look for Cincinnati to roll up the score here on their way to a big win and cover.  Thank you and good luck.

 #652 4* Winnipeg Blue Bombers -10 (8:30 edt)

Love the Bombers here since their overall record may only be 5-7 but they are 4-2 against Eastern Division teams and they have outscored opponents by 49 points on the season so when they win they usually win big.  Montreal is struggling against the West at just 1-6 SU this season and their offense is only scoring 17 points per game.  Look for Winnipeg to pull away in the 2nd half on their way to a big win and cover here. 

#301 - #302 7* New York Jets - Cleveland Browns UNDER 40 (8:20 edt) NFL Network

Everything points to a low scoring game here.  Thursday night games tend to be lower scoring to begin with.  The Browns defense has been very good this season holding down the Steelers offense and the Saints offense and they get to go against a rookie QB here on a short week of preparation.  The Browns offense has been terrible and the short week won't help them here.  The Jets defense has been strong as well giving up just 37 points in 2 games.  Now add in the kicking woes for Cleveland and the fact that Cleveland can get quite windy on the shores of Lake Erie making it tough to move the ball.  Play under this number.  Thank you and good luck.

#906 10* Atlanta Braves with Sanchez ML -140 (7:30 edt) ESPN

Love the Braves here since they are undefeated against the Cardinals on the season and they go with Sanchez who has been outstanding in his last 4 starts.  Sanchez has a better everything than Gomber (ERA, WHIP, Ks) and the Braves will be focused on getting a home win since they have been better this season on the road than at home.  Atlanta has lost their last 6 home games to the Red Birds so somewhat of a revenge angle here as well.  The Cardinals are not playing good baseball right now while the Braves are playing excellent defense.  All signs point to a Braves win here.  Thank you and good luck.
