71-52 on College Football in 2018 up 53.33 units

41-34-2 on College Football in 2019 up 26.64 units

It has been a fun college football season. Went to 5 college football games this season. Seeing Dook throw an interception to end the game in Chapel Hill against UNC was prolly my favorite. Sam Howell is awesome.

Trevor Lawrence and Joe Burrow will put on a show tonight. I am excited.

First Turnover – Fumble at +120 for 6 units. Two great Qbs here. They have only thrown 14 interceptions combined on the season. Both teams have 5 fumbles this year. Two great defenses here. I could see a wideout fighting for extra yards and the ball being knocked loose.

Clemson First Downs +1.5 at -110 for 6 units. LSU has slaughtered teams in this stat this season. Alabama was 7 first downs behind them. I just like Clemson’s ability to run the ball with the QB. LSU are going to have some big plays, but those only count for 1 first down. Clemson know what they have to do to move the ball. Ohio State held Clemson in check for a little while, but the Tigers woke up. I expect a close game here..

Clemson +5 at -110 for 5 units. Clemson and LSU have the two best QBs and the two best passing defenses in the country. Something has to give. LSU does give up some big running plays. Clemson has so many weapons on offense and can adjust with the best of them. I’ll take the points and the defending national champs. Joe Burrow could continue to put up video game numbers, but almost all the advanced stats point to this being a close game. I like the team that has been here before. Over 70% of bettors are taking LSU. I’ll fade the public. The favorite is 11-10 in the Natty since 1999. Nick Saban had never lost a Natty until he met Dabo. Clemson held Ohio State to a season-low in points, can do they do it against LSU? Prolly not since Auburn held LSU to 23, but I still like them to cover.

NFL Playoffs – Divisional Round – Parlay Included

69-58-5 on the NFL last season (2018/19) up 26.36 units

45-49 on the NFL this season up 11.34 units

49ers -7 at -110 for 5 units. Give me all the 49ers today. Their run game will eat. The Saints terrible clock management and an inability to deal with pressure up the middle lost them that game. They didn’t give the ball to Kamara out wide enough. 49ers will play to their strengths, unlike the Saints. 49ers ability to get a pass rush without blitzing will be the key on defense. They will frustrate Kirk Cousins. I just expect San Francisco to have more impact plays on defense and to get more first downs on offense. A recipe for a double digit win. 49ers might come out a little sluggish, but I expect them to pull away in the second half if they haven’t already. Thanks for showing up Vikings.

49ers ML/North Texas/Northern Iowa/Auburn Parlay risking 4 units to win 10.41 units. Sneaking some college basketball plays in this parlay. Northern Iowa are -130 and the only one that I think has a chance of losing. Missouri State have not beat a team as good or better than Northern Iowa all year. I like the value in the -130.

Nothing on Titans/Ravens because I don’t have a good feel on that game. Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson will be fun to watch. Will AJ Brown or Hollywood Brown have a big play? Will the Titans D be able to contain the Ravens? Will their be a 10 minute field goal drive? Will Ryan Tannehill suck? Too many questions for me in this one, but I’d lean towards… you know what? screw it..

Ravens over 6.5 points 3rd Quarter at -110 for 3 units. BE GOOD TO ME COIN TOSS

College Basketball Saturday Predictions – 145 Games today..

70-62-2 on NCAAB last season up 8.95 units

26-25-1 this season up 5.29 units

Like the title suggests, Lot of spots to make money today. Conference Play is heating up.

Rhode Island +8.5 at -110 for 2 units. VCU always gets a good game from Rhode Island.

George Mason +3.5 at -110 for 2 units. La Salle shouldn’t be favored by 4 against George Mason. GMU has lost 3 in a row, but I expect a close one here.

William & Mary -1.5 at -110 for 2 units. Grant Riller has been amazing for Charleston lately, but I like William and Mary’s big men to get the easy baskets for the win.

Clemson +3.5 at -110 for 6 units. UNC’s big men being bigger than Clemson’s keep me from making this a max play. Garrison Brooks has been a beast lately for the Heels. UNC inability to make shots and their lack of perimeter defense continue to show. If UNC wins, it will be close. The Tar Heels are 59-0 at home against Clemson. That stat is at a severe risk today..

Louisville at -165 for 4 units. Notre Dame struggles closing games. Louisville’s defense will be a lot for the Notre Dame’s offense to handle. I like this matchup a lot. The Cardinals will out-rebound the Fighting Irish on the way to a win today.

 

College Basketball January 10th Prediction

70-62-2 on NCAAB last season up 8.95 units

25-25-1 this season up 0.71 units

Maryland/Iowa under 146.5 at -110 for 5 units. Both teams have solid defenses. Iowa does put up over 80 points a game, but I think they will struggle to score a little against this Maryland team. Most games Iowa has played against good competition have gone under this number. Maryland’s last 6 against solid competition (Ohio State, Indiana, Seton Hall, Penn State, Illinois, and Notre Dame) have all gone under this number. Go missed 3s and defense! Make it ugly.

NBA Friday

61-53-2 on NBA in 2017/18 up 9.28 units

30-28-2 on NBA in 2018/19 up 4.16 units 

7-10-1 on NBA in 2019/20 down 18.91 units

Heat at -155 for 4 units. Brooklyn lost to the Thunder by 8 in OT on Tuesday. The Nets have lost 7 in a row and haven’t covered in any of them. They miss Kyrie. Miami scores more and gives up less points on the season. I like Miami’s 3-point shooting, Jimmy Butler, and Eastern North Carolina native Bam down low to get them the win.

Pacers at -135 for 3 units. Bulls are bad and have lost 5 in a row since beating the Hawks.

Mavericks at -130 for 3 units. I don’t think Anthony Davis plays tonight. Line is Mavericks -2, I expect it to go higher.

College Basketball January 7th Parlay and Predictions

70-62-2 on NCAAB last season up 8.95 units

24-24-1 this season down 1.62 units

Virginia Tech +4.5 at -110 for 7 units. Syracuse’s defense is not as good as last year. Lander Nolley will be able to make some 3s against the zone. Hokies are 0-5 ATS against teams with a winning record over their last 5. I like this matchup though. Syracuse is an 8-6 team favored over a 10-4 team. VT shoots more 3s and makes them at a higher clip. Syracuse turns the ball over more. Rebounding is pretty even. I’ll take the better team and the points on the road.

Marquette/Northern Iowa/Iowa/Virginia Parlay risking 4 units to win 6.66 units. I’ve got some stuff on the grill so don’t have time to get into this parlay, but all will win. You are welcome.

NBA January 6th Predictions

61-53-2 on NBA in 2017/18 up 9.28 units

30-28-2 on NBA in 2018/19 up 4.16 units 

7-9-1 on NBA in 2019/20 down 13.91 units

Jazz -3 at -110 for 5 units. Jazz at Pelicans tonight. Jrue Holiday is out. Derrick Favors vs his old team. I don’t think he will like playing against Rudy Gobert. Pelicans have been playing a lot better over the past couple weeks than earlier in the season. Zion Williamson still hasn’t played.. Pelicans only loss recently was against the Lakers. Jazz have won 10 of 11. Should see some good basketball tonight. Utah beat the Pelicans by 8 earlier in the season without Gobert. I like this spot tonight. Have it straight up and to win a parlay.

LendingTree Bowl Prediction

71-52 on College Football in 2018 up 53.33 units

41-33-2 on College Football in 2019 up 28.64 units

Ragin Cajuns -14 at -115 for 2 units. Freshman QB vs a dominant run game here. I’ll go with the run game. Brett Gabbert, Blaine’s lil bro is the QB for Miami of Ohio. He has had an up and down season. Robert Hunt and Kevin Dotson are stud O-linemen for Louisiana. They will both find their way on NFL rosters. Going to go with the team that is better in the trenches here. Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns are not playing Appalachian State tonight, so I trust them.

College Basketball January 6th

70-62-2 on NCAAB last season up 8.95 units

23-24-1 this season down 8.89 units

Oklahoma State/West Virginia under 138 at -110 for 8 units. Line movement towards the Cowboys, which is weird because they have stunk it up over the past month. OK State is favored by 1 now. West Virginia haven’t scored over 70 against a good team in over a month (Dropped 86 on Rhode Island on Pablo Escobar’s birthday – December 1st). Oklahoma State scored 50, 50 hours ago against Texas Tech. The Cowboys know they have to up their defensive intensity if they want to win and get out of their slump. OK State lost to Georgetown at home right after Georgetown had their best player and others were dismissed from the team/transferred. I wanted to bet WVU and the under, but the line movement scared me off. I still really like the under though. Best college basketball game on the board tonight. Also, can West Virginia decide on a jersey style? They seem to change it every year.

 

Famous Idaho Potato Bowl Prediction

71-52 on College Football in 2018 up 53.33 units

40-33-2 on College Football in 2019 up 26.81 units

Ohio/Nevada under 61 at -110 for 2 units. The line has moved from -6.5 to -10 for Ohio over the past few days. I liked it at 7 because Ohio should be able to run the ball and be in better 3rd down situations. 10 is high though. Ohio’s run game should dominate and that is why I like the under. I can’t see Nevada having the ball enough to score enough to push the over here. If the game plays out like the line movement entails, Ohio will be up enough and slow play the second half, much like Cincinnati yesterday. Nevada scored 3 points against a below average Hawaii defense this year. I don’t trust them to put up many points today. If your book lets you parlay Ohio ML and the under, I’d do that.
