COLLEGE FOOTBALL WEEK 10 PLAY

** KENTUCKY  +8   at   MISSOURI

There's nothing like some SEC football and there is no other conference that is even close to as good as this one, from top to bottom.  There's no bias here, either.  I know these aren't the strongest teams in the conference, but I think the Wildcats have looked more like an SEC team than Mizzou.  The Tigers lost to Indiana...???  I don't think they are worthy of laying 8 points to too many teams in their conference.  I'm drooling over these points, because I think Kentucky can win this game.

NFL THURSDAY NIGHT PLAY

**  NEW ORLEANS ML(-145)   at    CAROLINA

The game line is now up to Saints -3, and I'm taking the ML, just in case.  The Saints have been in a lot of close games this year, including two that came down to a point.  With the magnitude of this game being for the division, and that it's on the road, I think this will be a tough game.  The Panthers will be coming in with a banged up offensive line, but their defense is better than the Packers,  With that being said, they haven't looked all that impressive.  They had close to 40 dropped on them four times this season.  Their offense has probably been less impressive.  Now, the Saints have looked a lot better on defense since their bye week.  I know they are supposed to, and always look good at home on primetime, but they finally played  like most people thought they were going to, before the season started, against the Packers Sunday night.  Their D is still giving up some big plays, but if they can continue to make some key stops, run Mark Ingram and get Cooks involved, I believe they can go on a run.

PREDICTED SCORE : SAINTS  24   PANTHERS  21

ANOTHER NFL WEEK 8 PLAY

**  MIAMI   -6   at    JACKSONVILLE

The Dolphins have been playing some pretty good football, and are a decent team, in my opinion.  They are getting DE, Dion Jordan, back this week, and that should make them even better.  This isn't a far road trip and shouldn't be that tough of  a team for them to beat.  The Jaguars played some good defense last week and got some good running out of Denard Robinson, but their rookie QB still threw 3 INT's.  I think they just played an inconsistent football team in the Browns.

PREDICTED SCORE : DOLPHINS 31   JAGUARS 20

NFL WEEK 8 PLAY

**  HOUSTON  -2.5   at   TENNESSEE

Zach Mettenberger will be starting for the Titans on Sunday, and I think he sucks ass.  He will sit in the pocket like a statue and JJ Watt will eat him up.  I could see the Texans scoring a TD or two on defense.

PREDICTED SCORE : TEXANS  28   TITANS  17

NFL WEEK 7 PLAYS

***  WASHINGTON  -5    vs    TENNESSEE

The Redskins come into this game at 1-5 and the Titans 2-4.  I think the Skins have a lot more talent and are just a better football team.  They are at home, and the Titans have been awful against the run,  This should be a break out game for Alfred Morris.  The Titans are coming off of a win, which they barely got, against the worst team in the NFL.  Washington will get this one today, pretty easily, I think.

PREDICTED SCORE :  REDSKINS  35   TITANS  21

** SEATTLE  -6.5   at   ST. LOUIS

The Seahawks are coming off of  a humbling loss at home, and I think they will be ready and focused to bounce back.  The Rams are coming off  a short week and are just a bad football team right now, with a rookie QB.  They were jacked up last Monday night when they played the 49ers, and that lasted for like a quarter or two.  St. Louis has absolutely no pass rush, and their whole defense really struggles.  Seattle lost a weapon, in Harvin, but maybe now they can utilize their other players more.  They are still one of the best teams and I think you will see that today

PREDICTED SCORE : SEAHAWKS  30   RAMS 13

COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAY

***  NOTRE DAME  +10   at     FLORIDA ST

There's all this talk about how this is a statement game for the Noles.  Well, this is just as much, if not more of a statement game for the Irish.  They want to prove to the country that they can beat a real contender.  This is not the same team as '12.  They have had great recruiting classes and QB, Everett Golson, has got better.  This is also not the same powerhouse Florida St team as last year, either.  Their defense has looked weak and they are a lot more one dimensional on offense.  I think the fact that they haven't run the ball all that well, will give the Irish a chance to pressure Winston, and if they can, they have a good shot at winning.  The last time the Noles played a QB that could run, when they played Oklahoma St, they got gashed.  Golson is a pretty good player and I think he can have a real good game today.

PREDICTED SCORE : 34-27  EITHER WAY

NFL THURSDAY NIGHT PLAY

** NY JETS  +9.5   at   NEW ENGLAND

The Jets, under Rex Ryan, usually play the Pats really tough.  I think a big factor in this game will be the monstrous D line of NY getting to Brady.  The fact that the Patriots' O line is banged up is not going to help matters for them.  I also think that the very possible bad, rainy weather could very well favor the Jets, who need to run the ball well, to be successful.  So, if Geno Smith can just not make any big mistakes, they have a good chance to win.  That's a very big if, but he has more of a chance vs this team, than you would think.  I'll take the J-E-T-S Jets to give em a game.

NFL WEEK 6 PLAYS

** CLEVELAND   ML(-130)    vs    PITTSBURGH

I think this time around the Browns are going to get the Steelers.  I have not been sold on Pittsburgh at all this year.  They have a good offense, but their D aint really shit.  The Browns have to have a ton of confidence coming off their record-breaking road come back last week.  They have now made two huge second half come backs this year, one was against the Steelers, which they ended up losing by 3.  I really think they should be able to win this time around at home.  I also expect, Ben Tate, who was taken out of the last meeting, because of an injury, will have a good day.  I'm taking the moneyline because of how close all of Cleveland's games have been this year.


***  NY GIANTS  +3(-120)   at    PHILADELPHIA

This is what the line is on my site and I think it's perfect.  I was going to buy it up to 3 points, anyway.  The Giants are really hot right now, and are hitting on all cylinders.  The Eagles have struggled to put together 4 quarters of good football, pretty much all year.  You just got to go with the G-Men in this one, I think.

PREDICTED SCORE : GIANTS  24   EAGLES  21

NFL WEEK 5 PLAY

** CLEVELAND  +2.5   at   TENNESSEE

The Browns are not a bad football team.  I'm not saying they are really good, either.  I'm really not sure how good they are, right now.  They are young and I think will continue to get better.  I am sure that they are better than the Titans.  Tennessee is not a good team, right now.  Jake Locker is probable and going to play.  I'm totally fine with that, because he hasn't looked good.  The Browns have had an extra week after that heartbreaking home loss to the rival Ravens.  I think they will be ready to play some sharp football.

PREDICTED SCORE : BROWNS  24   TITANS  20

COLLEGE FOOTBALL WEEK 6 PLAYS

* TENNESSEE   -2.5    vs    FLORIDA

I think the Vols gave a great effort in their road loss to Georgia last week.  Now they get to come home and play Florida, who has no real identity right now.  The Gators offense is anemic and their defense really didn't look good at all against Alabama.  I've said for some time now that Muskchamp is not a good head coach, and I think he's out the door for sure after this season.  Tennessee is much improved, and I think this is their chance to finally beat this team, in what has been a good while now.

PREDICTED SCORE : VOLS  24  GATORS  17


* VIRGINIA   -6.5    vs    PITTSBURGH

This is a very hot play, as it should be.  The line started at -4.5 and climbed up 2 points as of yesterday.  I like the way the Cavs have been playing football, and they've just lost some tough games to some good teams.  I think they out match this Pittsburgh team pretty well.

PREDICTED SCORE : CAVALIERS  34   PANTHERS  17
