    UCLA at Utah 11/3/17 - College Football Picks & Predictions

    by Eddie

    Latest Odds : UTAH -5 Total 60.5

    PAC-12 Conference rivals will clash on Friday night, when the UCLA Bruins travel to Rice-Eccles Stadium to tackle the Utah Utes. The Bruins have won all four of their home games this season, but are winless on the road. On Saturday, UCLA was embarrassed during a 44-23 road loss at Washington. The Bruins trailed 37-9 entering the final quarter and were outgained by a 442-232 margin.

    Through eight games, UCLA averaged 475 yards of total offense and 36.4 points per contest. Utah comes into this matchup ranked 38th in total defense and giving up 23.9 points on average.


    The Utah Utes started the season off on a four-game winning streak but have dropped four games in a row. Utah started off conference play with a six-point win at Arizona State, but have lost their last two games by 41 points total. On Saturday, the Utes couldn’t keep up with the high-flying Oregon Ducks during a 41-20 road loss. Utah QB Tyler Huntley threw for 293 yards and two touchdowns in a losing effort.

    Utah is a middle of the pack offensive team, ranking 61st in total yards and scoring 27.1 points per game. UCLA has one of the worst stop units in the country, allowing 488 yards and 37.6 points on average.
    Recent Betting Trends:
    UCLA is 2-9 ATS in its last 11 games on the road.
    UCLA is 0-5 SU in its last 5 games on the road.
    Utah is 5-1-1 ATS in its last 7 games.
    The total has gone UNDER in 5 of the last 6 meetings.
    The total has gone UNDER in 8 of Utah's last 10 games.
    Free Betting Pick: Utah Utes -5
    UCLA has been a mess on defense and on the road this season. This has been a competitive series, with each of the last five meetings being decided by eight points or fewer. However, this one won’t be close. Final Score Prediction, Utah Utes win and cover ATS 40-27.

    Marshall at FAU 11/3/17 - College Football Picks & Predictions

    by Adam

    Latest Odds : FAU -9.5 Total 66

    The Marshall Thundering Herd (6 - 2, 3 - 1 CONF) are on the road this week to take on the Florida Atlantic owls (5 - 3, 4 - 0 CONF). Florida Atlantic will be hosting this game at the FAU Football Stadium in Boca Raton, FL. Florida. Florida Atlantic is red hot right now having reeled in four straight victories. Marshall comes into this contest after losing to Florida International in a high scoring affair.

    The Marshall Thundering Herd take the field as the underdog in this game despite having a moderately successful offense and a stout defense. Marshall is scoring 28 PPG on offense thanks to their pass first approach and the big arm of QB Chase Litton (1,913 yards, 16 TDs, 5 INTs). Litton has the ability to pick apart opposing secondaries in order to put points up on the board in a hurry. Marshall is surrendering just 18 PPG to opposing teams so far this year.


    The Florida Atlantic Owls take the field with a high flying offense that is engineered by their capable ground game. Florida Atlantic is averaging 40 PPG on offense this season while running the ball for nearly 300 yards per game. Florida Atlantic likes to ground-pound throughout the game in order to score their victories and they'll be favored here as a result. Florida Atlantic is, however, inconsistent defensively and they've shown real seams in their front seven.
    Recent Betting Trends:
    Thundering Herd are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 Friday games.
    Owls are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall.
    Under is 20-6 in Thundering Herd last 26 conference games.
    Over is 7-1 in Owls last 8 conference games.
    Free Betting Pick: Marshall Thundering Herd +9.5
    Funny how one loss can change a spread so much - last weeks Marshall loss now allows us to get this line at nearly double digits. If Herd would have won last week this line was going to land on FAU -3 and we still would have taken Marshall. FAU has had big turn around year but we still think Marshall is the better team. Grab the points just in case with Marshall, Final Score Prediction, Marshall Thundering Herd win outright as underdog 27-24.

    Blue Bombers at Stampeders 11/3/17 - CFL Picks & Predictions

    by Mike

    Latest Odds : CGY -10.5 Total 52.5

    With an 11-6 record, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers are playing for seeding as they head towards the CFL playoffs. The Blue Bombers travel to Calgary to battle a Stampeders team who has already clinched home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

    Quarterback Matt Nichols has had a solid season for the Blue Bombers and has thrown for 4472 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions on the year. Running Back Andrew Harris is arguably the most dynamic player in the entire CFL and has 100 receptions for 829 yards and 1 touchdown, to go along with 967 rushing yards and 6 rushing touchdowns. Darvin Adams is an additional player to watch for Winnipeg and has 78 receptions on the season.


    With a 13-3-1 record, the Calgary Stampeders have clinched home field advantage throughout the CFL playoffs and are trying to determine how much to rest their starters in the last game of the regular season. The Stampeders host the Winnipeg Blue Bombers who they may very well see again in the CFL playoffs.

    Bo Levi Mitchell quarterbacks the Stampeders and has thrown for 4700 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions on the season. Marquay McDaniel is the leading receiver for Calgary and has 65 receptions for 860 yards and 4 touchdowns this year. Running back Jerome Messam has carried the ball 203 times for 986 yards and 9 touchdowns and will shortly go over the 1000 yard mark on the season.
    Recent Betting Trends:
    Blue Bombers are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss.
    Stampeders are 18-6 ATS in their last 24 home games.
    Over is 9-1 in Blue Bombers last 10 vs. a team with a winning record.
    Under is 5-0 in Stampeders last 5 vs. a team with a winning record.
    Free Betting Pick: Calgary Stampeders -10.5
    Early in the season these two faced off in easy road win by Calgary winning 29-10 and easily covering ATS. Look of more of the same tonight as Calgary great season continues. Final Score Prediction, Calgary Stampeders win and cover ATS 33-18.

    Alouettes at Tiger-Cats 11/3/17 - CFL Picks & Predictions

    by Adam

    Latest Odds : HAM -13.5 Total 52.5

    In a season they would like to forget, the Montreal Alouettes (3-14) close out the year on the road against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Already assured the number one pick in the upcoming CFL Draft, the Alouettes would like to close out 2017 with a win and start to build for next season.

    As the season has gone on Matt Shlitz has gotten more and more action at quarterback for Montreal as a possible audition for next season. Shlitz has thrown for 289 yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception on the season. B.J. Cunningham has still had a solid season this year despite the Alouettes struggles. Cunningham has 65 receptions for 1,047 yards and 4 touchdowns on the year. Tyrell Sutton is the leading rusher for Montreal and has ran for 843 yards and 5 touchdowns this season.


    With a 5-12 record, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats are looking towards the 2018 season. The Tiger-Cats close out 2017 against the Montreal Alouettes and are looking to send off 2017 on a positive note.

    Jeremiah Masoli has excelled since taking over at quarterback for Hamilton and has thrown for 2859 yards, 14 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions on the season. Alex Green could be a face to watch for Hamilton next year and has ran for 371 yards and 4 touchdowns on the year. Jalen Saunders is an additional player to watch for Hamilton and has 69 receptions for 1073 yards and 4 touchdowns in 2017.
    Recent Betting Trends:
    Alouettes are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games overall.
    Tiger-Cats are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss.
    Over is 5-0 in Alouettes last 5 games in November.
    Under is 36-15 in Tiger-Cats last 51 home games.
    Free Betting Pick: Hamilton Tiger-Cats -13.5
    Only one head to head battle so far this season - that was easy blowout road win by Hamilton winning 43-16 and easily covering ATS. Alouettes have been terrible ATS this year including 0-10 the last 10 weeks - fading Montreal again this week. Final Score Prediction, Hamilton Tiger-Cats win and cover ATS 39-20.

    Gulfstream Park West - Race #7 - Post: 3:50pm - Claiming - 7.5 furlongs on the Turf. Purse: $16,000 Class Rating: 83

    Rating: 4

    #2 PROMISCUOUS FORCE (ML=6/1)
    #5 LITTLE BABY BELLA (ML=2/1)
    #1 TACO WAYNE'S SHOT (ML=7/2)


    PROMISCUOUS FORCE - This filly has the top turf fig in her last race. It doesn't take a college grad like The Brain to figure this here horse has a good chance. Recent Equibase speed figures show solid pattern of improvement. LITTLE BABY BELLA - When you handicap turf races, it's always a good idea to look for a pony who has won on this turf course. I'll forgive that last performance on Oct 19th when she failed backers as the public choice. That race was pretty good for an $8,000 Claiming race and this filly's speed rating was solid. Vaccarezza is great in turf sprints. This equine should have no rationalizations if she doesn't win. TACO WAYNE'S SHOT - This filly is sent through the entry box right back into a race in less than 10 days; this is a positive sign. When Diaz and Sano team up on equines the return on investment has been fantastic at +999. This filly is in good condition, having run a strong race on Oct 27th, finishing second.

    Vulnerable Contenders: #6 TAZMANIAN ANGEL (ML=9/2), #3 SYLVER MAGIC (ML=8/1),

    TAZMANIAN ANGEL - Should have at least finished in the money in the last 60 days in a sprint clash to be worth the chance at small odds in a sprint. Hard to bet this one after not being near the lead at 1 1/16 miles and now being entered in a race of 7 1/2 furlongs. Disappointing rating last out at Gulfstream Park West at 1 1/16 miles. Don't feel this questionable contender will improve too much today. SYLVER MAGIC - Tough to keep chasing this sort of 'hanger' horse. May bounce off of that last strong exertion.

    Hawthorne - Race #5 - Post: 4:50pm - Maiden Claiming - 5.5 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $7,800 Class Rating: 63

    Rating: 4

    #9 LIVE ROUND (ML=6/1)
    #1 SACRED HARP (ML=9/2)


    LIVE ROUND - Was in a $10,000 Maiden Claiming race at Churchill Downs last out. That race had a class number of 74 and he is moving down in this race. A certain solid contender. Another way to judge class is (EPS) earnings per start. This entrant has the highest in the group. I think he'll be close at the finish line. SACRED HARP - This speedball is running a shorter distance today. Should help his winning probability. Was in a $12,500 Maiden Claiming race at Hawthorne in the last race. That event had a class figure of 70 and he is moving down in this event. A certain contender. Ran a less than stellar race at Hawthorne last out. Racing without the off-track conditions puts this gelding at the top of my contenders roll call.

    Vulnerable Contenders: #11 GREELEYS SPIRIT (ML=9/5), #2 CALL ME HANDSOME (ML=8/1), #8 DEVIL HUNT (ML=8/1),

    GREELEYS SPIRIT - Most likely won't make much of an impression today. CALL ME HANDSOME - Hard to bet on any horse to turn things around if there is no reward to taking the shot. DEVIL HUNT - Should have at least hit the board in the last couple months in a short distance race to be worth a shot at minimal odds in a sprint.



    STRAIGHT WAGERS:
    Put your money on #9 LIVE ROUND on the nose if you can get odds of 3/2 or more

    EXACTA WAGERS:
    Box [1,9]

    TRIFECTA WAGERS:

    # 1 FLAT LUCKY 3/1

    # 7 LAND BATTLE 7/2

    # 8 BEAUTIFUL GAME 4/1

    My choice in this event is FLAT LUCKY. Displays reliable Equibase Speed Figures on average overall when compared with the rest of this field. He has quite good class ratings, averaging 83, and has to be given a chance in here. Recent figs for the jockey - 26 win percent - make this colt stand out in this group of horses in this race. LAND BATTLE - Has a strong shot in here if you like back class. This jock and trainer team has produced some very strong return on investment numbers at this track. BEAUTIFUL GAME - The average Equibase class rating of 73 makes this entrant difficult to beat. Going in a dirt sprint race gives this colt a very good shot.

    # 8 GIVINITALITTLEEFFORT 3/1

    # 3 REGAL IVORY 5/1

    # 2 BO TRAFFIC 9/2

    GIVINITALITTLEEFFORT looks to be a formidable contender. Had one of the most favorable Equibase Speed Figs of this group in his last contest. Solid pick to take this race going in a short. This lot is much less demanding than the last one he ran against. REGAL IVORY - Has to be carefully examined here on the basis of the figs in the speed realm alone. Will most likely come out strong - I have liked the way this gelding has moved promptly to the lead recently. BO TRAFFIC - Is a strong contender based on figures put up lately under today's conditions. He has a solid distance/surface win record - 2 for 9.

    Jim Feist's Comp Pick, Friday, November 3, 2017

    NBA (703) CHICAGO BULLS VS (704) ORLANDO MAGIC

    Take: UNDER

    Reason: Your free play for Friday, November 3 is in the NBA contest between the Chicago Bulls and the Orlando Magic. Chicago looks for its first win on the road this season against three losses. The Bulls are 1-5 overall and 0-3 away, but have covered four of six games. The Magic are 6-2 S/U and a perfect 3-0 S/U at home. Fourth pick Aaron Gordon is playing great, shooting 60.9% from the field over the last five games. The struggling Bulls bright spot is Rookie 7-foot-0 forward Lauri Markkanen, who had a season best 25 points last time and is averaging 17.2 ppg. The Magic have gone UNDER in 14 of their last 20 against the NBA Central. The Bulls are 1-4 O/U their last five overall. In addition, the last four meetings between these teams in Orlando have gone UNDER and the last seven in the series have gone UNDER. Play the UNDER here on Friday.

    Raptors vs. Jazz
    Raptors+1½

    The Toronto Raptors took a 129-111 beating at Denver on Wednesday, and that can't sit right with this talented Raptors side. "That was an embarrassing performance by all of us, from coaches to players," coach Dwane Casey told reporters in Denver. "One thing we said: You've got to come in here and compete and play hard, play a physical game, and we didn't do either one on either end of the floor."
    I think the Jazz will pay the price as Toronto looks to bounce when it closes out a six-game road trip at Salt Lake City Friday night. Utah could be due for a clunker after reeling off three straight wins, including a dramatic come-from-behind 112-103 OT win against Portland its last time out.
    Raptors are 8-0 ATS in the last eight meetings including 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings in Utah.

    Celtics vs. Thunder
    Thunder-5½ -115

    When the new Big 3 was assembled in Oklahoma City, it figured that Russell Westbrook, Paul George and Carmelo Anthony would grind teams into the hardwood with relentless offense. But OKC has made its mark with defense, and the Thunder will battle another early-season defensive titan tonight when they take on the Celtics. In fact, Boston and OKC are 1-2 in the league in defense so far this season. The Thunder will be a major test for Boston, whose wins have come against teams with only one major scoring threat (Embiid, Andrich, Antetokounmpo, Porzingis). Look for OKC's three-pronged attack to bring Boston down a notch as the Celtics play the first of a three-games-in-four-days stretch.

    Back in 1979 rocker John Stewart had an album called "Bombs Away Dream Babies", and that is how I see this Memphis-Tulsa game playing out tonight in Oklahoma. Points, points, points!

    Both teams can score, and both teams choose the "no defense" or the "less is more" approach to the defensive side of the equation.

    Memphis just hung 56-points on Tulane in a game that went Over. The Tigers are now Over in their last pair of games, and Over the total in 6 of 8 this year. Backtracking to last season, Memphis is 14-5 Over the total in their last 19 football games.

    Tulsa hasn't been as "prolific" in going Over, as they have held Under in their last 3 and 5 of 6 overall, but the Golden Hurricane has played Overs in 5 of their last 6 Friday night games, and the series numbers show Overs in 3 straight and 5 of 7 dating back to 2005.

    With the weather looking conducive for points, that's the way I will look.

    Memphis-Tulsa "Bombs Away Dream Babies", as they head Over on Friday.

    3* MEMPHIS-TULSA OVER
