by Mike
Latest Odds : UTSA -7 Total 51

The Blazers have seen some good offensive production from A.J. Erdley who has thrown for 1692 yards and 12 scores. However, the rushing attack has been led by Spencer Brown who has managed to carry the ball 180 times for 1049 yards and 10 scores.

Old Dominion at FIU 11/11/17 - College Football Picks & Predictions
by Mike
Latest Odds : FIU -9.5 Total 48
Old Dominion picked up the third win on the season, but it was a struggle and even against a team as weak as the Charlotte 49ers, it was only by a couple of field goals the Monarchs were able to pick up the win, the first in conference play for the Monarchs. So this could give the team some momentum, but the chance of actually winning a lot is slim.
These is very true when the quarterback, Steven Williams, has only managed to throw the ball for 1017 yards and 4 touchdowns on the season so far.
FIU is a team that has been picking up quite a bit of good notes on the season so far and this can easily help with the recruiting issue that a lot of schools have when they are smaller. The Golden Panthers are a team that would like to be able to pick up even more wins in the games, but that could prove to be difficult for them, except in this game.
Alex McGough is the player who has led the Golden Panthers on the season. McGough has been able to throw for a total of 1728 yards and 9 touchdowns on the year so far.
Recent Betting Trends:
Monarchs are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games in November.
Golden Panthers are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS win.
Over is 6-0 in Monarchs last 6 games after scoring less than 20 points in their previous game.
Over is 9-2 in Golden Panthers last 11 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.
Free Betting Pick: FIU Golden Panthers -9.5
This Golden Panthers team is one of the most improved team in College Football and FIU keeps it going with another easy win this week. FIU wins with dominating defensive performance against struggling ODU team. Final Score Prediction, Florida International Panthers win and cover ATS 30-16.

UTEP at North Texas 11/11/17 - College Football Picks & Predictions
by Adam
Latest Odds : UNT -23.5 Total 56.5
UTEP has been playing some horrible football on the season and it all boils down to the fact that neither side of the ball has been on the good side. However, the Miners are going to play some good games if you are the opponent and this will make it quite a bit easier for the opponent to pick up the wins.
The Miners on the season are only scoring at a clip of 12.9 points a game on the season so far. However, the Miners defense is giving up a total of 36.2 points a game.
The Mean Green have been playing some great football on the year so far on the season. The Mean Green have been able to pick up quite a few wins and that is going to make it quite a bit easier for the Mean Green to be one of those teams that is very impressive on the season so far.
The Mean Green are scoring a total of 35.9 points a game. The defense for the Mean Green is giving up 36.2 points a game on the year so far.
Recent Betting Trends:
Miners are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 games in November.
Mean Green are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games in November.
Under is 8-3 in Miners last 11 games in November.
Over is 4-1 in Mean Green last 5 home games.
Free Betting Pick: North Texas Mean Green -23.5
Just a mismatch anyway you look at it as Mean Green continue to impress with another easy win. UTEP is one of the worst teams in College Football and even three plus Touchdowns can get us to take the Miners. Final Score Prediction, North Texas Mean Green win and cover ATS 39-13.

Troy at Coastal Carolina 11/11/17 - College Football Picks & Predictions
by Jim
Latest Odds : TROY -17 Total 52
Troy has managed to find themselves as one of the best places in the NCAA. The Trojans have become one of only 4 teams that have not given up more than 24 points on the season so far. However, the Trojans are a team that would like to pick up even more offensive production on the season as it has had some problems.
What is great is the Trojans have managed to get 24.9 points a game on the offense this year and the defense has only been giving up 17.7 points a game on the year so far.
Coastal Carolina does not look like it will be a major threat to the scoring streak the Trojans have on the season. The Chanticleers have been able to play well enough ad have only managed to win 1 game on the year and that was way back in the first week of the season. So it is very easy to see the Chanticleers are going to have some problems on the day as they are facing against the Trojans who have been playing great on the year.
Recent Betting Trends:
Trojans are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games on grass.
Chanticleers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss.

by Mike
Latest Odds : NEV -20.5 Total 66.5
San Jose State is going to join the rest of the teams that are playing horrible on the season this year. The Spartans have only managed to pick up a single win on the year and that has been very difficult for the Spartans to swallow on the year.
Tyler Nevens who has been talked about quite a bit this year has not lived up to the hype. Nevens has been able to carry the ball 122 times for a total of 503 yards on the year so far.
With the Wolfpack the team has been playing some horrible football as year just like the Spartans. What is really good for the Wolfpack is one of these teams is going to come out with a second win on the year and that can be something that will make this game into one of the best games of the day on Saturday.
Offensively the rushing attack leader of the Wolfpack has been better than the Spartans. Kelton Moore has been leading the rushing attack for the pack with 108 carries and 649 yards and 3 touchdowns.
Recent Betting Trends:
Spartans are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following a double-digit loss at home.
Wolf Pack are 4-1 ATS vs. a team with a losing record.

by Jim
Latest Odds : GAST -5.5 Total 46.5
The Panthers are a team that has been able to pick up some good wins on the year so far. However, the Panthers are a team that has been able to play hard against some of the teams they should have been losing to.
A good case of this for the Panthers is the fact the team was able to beat the Eagles from Georgia Southern. The Panthers were able to be able to put in 21 points, but the defense for the Eagles gave up 17 points.
Texas State has been playing bad ball on the season and it shows with the fact the team has only managed to get a recent win over Coastal Carolina. In the game against the Chanticleers the Bobcats really struggled to get the wins they need to have and that has really hurt the Bobcats in recruiting any of the good recruits that are well known to come out of the state of Texas.
Recent Betting Trends:
Panthers are 22-7 ATS in their last 29 road games.
Bobcats are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall.
Under is 12-3 in Panthers last 15 games on fieldturf.

Middle Tennessee at Charlotte 11/11/17 - NCAAF Picks & Predictions
by Adam
Latest Odds : MTSU -14 Total 44.5
Are the Blue Raiders offense going to explode when they face off against the Charlotte team here? Well, that all remains to be seen, but the one thing the Blue Raiders do have going for them is the fact the Blue Raiders have been able to play very well against teams that are extremely weak on the year.
The Blue Raiders have thrown for 246 yards a game, but the rushing attack has been able to run the ball for 119 yards a game. This has led to the offense getting a total of 20 points a game, but the defense is giving up 24 points a game.
Charlotte has been having some problems on the season and it shows by the fact the team has only been able to pick up a single win on the season and that has not really helped them in getting any type of confidence on the season, especially since the 49ers have not won in a week.
The 49ers have managed to throw for only a total of 124 yards a game on the year, but the rushing attack on the 49ers team has only been able to get 185 yards a game. The offense for the 49ers has been able to convert at a rate of 16 points a game. The defense for the 49ers is giving up a total of 29 points a game.
Recent Betting Trends:
Blue Raiders are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games in November.
49ers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.
Under is 8-0-1 in Blue Raiders last 9 games overall.
Under is 7-0 in 49ers last 7 vs. a team with a losing record.
Free Betting Pick: Charlotte 49ers +14
Injuries to Middle Tennessee star QB Brent Stockstill derailed the Blue Raiders for most of the middle of this season but now that he is back expect Blue Raiders to finish strong. Even having QB Stockstill back think it's closer than expected win for MTSU. Final Score Prediction, Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders win but fall short ATS 26-20.

Cavaliers at Mavericks 11/11/17 - NBA Picks & Predictions
by Adam
Latest Odds : CLE -5.5 Total 219.5
Cleveland (5-7) is off to a rough start, but the general consensus is that there's not need to panic yet. The Cavaliers have been terrible on defense. They allow 113.9 points per game, which ranks 28th in the NBA.
The poor defense for Cleveland wasn't helped by the fact that the Cavaliers had to face the high-powered Houston Rockets on Thursday. James Harden and company dropped 117 points on Cleveland with 16 3-pointers. Despite the loss, LeBron James had another great game, with 33 points on 15 of 24 shooting and seven assists. On the season, James averages 29.3 points per game with an incredible shooting percentage of .601.
Kevin Love averages a double-double with 17.6 points and 10.4 rebounds per game. His best game of the year came on Tuesday against Milwaukee, when he put up 32 points on 9 of 14 shooting and pulled down 16 rebounds.
Dallas (2-10) got a win on Wednesday against Washington to stop a six-game losing streak. Rookie guard Dennis Smith Jr. had an all-around performance with 22 points, eight rebounds and eight assists. Smith has notched more than 15 points in the last four games and seems destined for stardom.
Dirk Nowitzki averages just 24.2 minutes and 10.2 points per game. His usage is down, but he can still put up good offensive numbers in short bursts. On October 30 against Utah, the German forward knocked down 4 of 5 3-pointers and had 18 points and five rebounds.

Lakers at Bucks 11/11/17 - NBA Picks & Predictions
by Adam
Latest Odds : MIL -5 Total 214
The Lakers have fallen to 5-7, and murmurs about Lonzo Ball's shooting have gained momentum among the Los Angeles fan base. In a loss on Thursday against Washington, Ball went 3 of 12 from the field and 1 of 7 from 3-point range.
Ball is shooting a .292 percentage from the field and .220 from 3-point range. And an especially surprising metric is his .500 free-throw percentage. Despite the poor shooting , Ball has shown he belongs in other aspects of the game. He dishes out 6.9 assists per game with 6.4 rebounds per game.
Brandon Ingram is having a solid start to the year for the Lakers, with 15.1 points per game. Ingram's usage and production is up from last season. He's also shooting a .466 percentage from the field, compared to his mark of .413 last season.
Milwaukee (4-6) will play San Antonio on Friday before taking a shot at Los Angeles on Saturday. Heading into that matchup with the Spurs, the Bucks had lost four straight. Two or Milwaukee's last three opponents have scored more than 120 points against the Bucks. Milwaukee surrenders 108.7 points per game, which ranks 24th in the NBA.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has had an unbelievable start to the season, with 31.9 points, 9.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.6 blocks per game. On Tuesday against Cleveland, Antetokounmpo had 40 points on 16 of 21 shooting. The "Greek Freak" has a .601 shooting percentage and has shot a respectable .785 from the free-throw line.
Recent Betting Trends:
Lakers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games playing on 1 days rest.
Bucks are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.
Under is 12-5 in Lakers last 17 overall.
Under is 6-1 in Bucks last 7 Saturday games.
Free Betting Pick: LA Lakers +5
On paper the Bucks have big edge against young Lakers but still think Los Angeles finds a way to put upset scare in Milwaukee. Los Angeles future star PG Ball will go for double double and be the key in Lakers keeping this game close. Final Score Prediction, Milwaukee Bucks win but fall short ATS 107-104.

Bulls at Spurs 11/11/17 - NBA Picks & Predictions
by Jim
Latest Odds : SAN -11.5 Total 194
Chicago (2-7) is one of three NBA teams with just two wins. The Bulls average just 94.3 points per game, which is the worst number in the league. No player on the team is putting up better than 16 points per game this season.
The leading scorer for Chicago, however, is rookie center Lauri Markkanen out of Arizona. He averages 15.8 points and 8.2 rebounds per game. He's along the same lines as New York big man Kristaps Porzingis, in that he's a 7-footer with deadly shooting range. Markkanen has knocked down at least two 3-pointers in each game this season and is shooting a .381 percentage from the outside.
San Antonio (7-4) had a rocky beginning to the season but has started to put things together with three-straight wins. The Spurs had a nice 120-107 win against the Clippers on Wednesday without Kawhi Leonard. LaMarcus Aldridge was great, with 25 points on 10 of 19 shooting. Aldridge has carried San Antonio during its winning streak. On the season, he averages 22.6 points and 8.3 rebounds per game.
Leonard has missed every game this season and is reportedly behind schedule on his recovery. Greg Popovich and the Spurs can handle a slow return from Leonard, as they're a playoff team without him. However, their main concern is whether he'll be able to be 100 percent when he returns and if he'll be injury-prone in the future. Leonard averaged 25.5 points per game last season and is one of the best defenders in the game.
Recent Betting Trends:
Bulls are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games.
Spurs are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games.
Under is 5-1 in Bulls last 6 overall.
Over is 20-9 in Spurs last 29 overall.
Free Betting Pick: San Antonio Spurs -11.5
The Bulls lose big at home last night as the dysfunctional young Chicago team just can't figure out a way to turn it around. Spurs are also in back to back but San Antonio was at home in win - that confidence carries over tonight for Spurs. Final Score Prediction, San Antonio Spurs win and cover ATS 108-94.

Orlando was 1-2 in a recent homestand, so the Magic may be happy to be on the road as they play the Nuggets in Denver Saturday. Orlando is 7-4 and leads the Southeast division.
A big part of Orlando's surge is the 3-point shooting of Aaron Gordon. Gordon shot 8-11 from the field overall in the last game. Last week he is 9-17 from behind the arc. He has hit 58 percent from behind the arc this year. In their last game Gordon scored 21, Evan Fournier has 23 and Nikola Vucevic had 24, only the second time this year a team has had three players score 20 points.
Fournier is averaging 20.5, Gordon is at 19.3 and Vucevic is at 18.5. Orlando is eighth in the league in scoring at 109.3 points per game, and they are giving up 105.6.

Nikola Jokic leads the Nuggets with 17.6 points, 11.6 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game. Paul Milsap is averaging 15.5 points. Four more are averaging in double figures. The Nuggets are shooting 36 percent from behind the arc, but they are hitting 50 percent of their 2-point shots.

by Mike
Latest Odds : MIN -9 Total 227
The Minnesota Timberwolves (7 - 4, 3 - 3 Away) are on the road this weekend to take on the Phoenix Suns (4 - 8, 2 - 4 Home). Phoenix will be hosting this game at the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, AZ. Phoenix has lost three of their past four games and the young Suns look to be as dysfunctional as ever. Minnesota has won four of their past five games and they'll come in here trying to make a statement victory come to fruition.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are starting to find their flow as a team this year with newcomer Jimmy Butler acting as a catalyst. Karl Anthony-Towns (21 PPG, 11 RPG) is a dominant force in the block and he'll be giving Phoenix everything that they can handle in this game. Minnesota is scoring 109 PPG on offense this season while shooting 47% from the floor as a team. Minnesota is giving up 11 PPG to opposing teams this year.
The Phoenix Suns are struggling with their identity with a young roster still trying to find its flow. Devin Booker (22 PPG) is the only dependable source of scoring on the team and he'll have full run of the shot clock in this game. Phoenix is scoring 106 PPG on offense this year while giving up 116 PPG to opposing teams. Phoenix is trying to snap a four game skid in this match up.

Timberwolves are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall.

Nets at Jazz 11/11/17 - NBA Picks & Predictions
by Jim
Latest Odds : UTAH -9.5 Total 210
The Brooklyn Nets are on the road to take on the Utah Jazz this weekend. Utah will be hosting this game at the Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City, UT. Brooklyn comes into this game on the second night of a back to back set. Utah will be well rested and ready to lay down some physical play against Brooklyn. Brooklyn is banged up right now which leaves the Nets at a disadvantage.
Brooklyn has seen serious damage to their front court in the last week with nagging injuries to Trevor Booker, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Jarrett Allen. Brooklyn is already a team that struggles with physical play and that will be magnified here. Brooklyn is scoring 112 PPG on offense this season while giving up 116 PPG to opposing squads. Brooklyn is led by newcomer D'Angelo Russell (20 PPG, 6 APG) and he'll be the focal point of the offensive attack.
The Utah Jazz are an extremely active team on defense and that has led Utah to holding teams to just 101 PPG on defense this year. Ricky Rubio (16 PPG, 6 APG) has been struggling big time since coming over from Minnesota and he'll need to get his head in the game to get Utah back in the win column. Utah is only averaging 99 PPG on offense and that number just isn't sustainable if Utah wants to start winning some games.
Recent Betting Trends:
Nets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.
Jazz are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games.
Under is 4-1 in Nets last 5 games playing on 0 days rest.
Over is 4-0 in Jazz last 4 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.
Free Betting Pick: Brooklyn Nets +9.5
With both teams playing last night we expect sloppy ugly night on Saturday. In those cases always love getting nearly double digits. Nets offense can score in bunches and think that is enough to at worst get the ATS cover. Final Score Prediction, Utah Jazz win but fall short ATS 106-99.

Sabres at Canadiens 11/11/17 - NHL Picks & Predictions
by Jim
Latest Odds : MON -140 Total 5.5
Buffalo is a team that has not really been a threat to a lot of teams on the season so far. However, the Sabres are a team that could easily pick up some extra wins if they are able to come out strong on the ice and definitely against the Canadiens the Sabres definitely have a chance to be a commanding team in the game.
The Sabres on the season have seen the offensive threat on the power play really be a major mess. The Sabres are converting on the power play only at a clip of 11.5%, but the defense does good by killing off 81.8% of the power plays.
The Canadiens are we mentioned are not much better than the Sabres when it comes to the offense or defensive side of the puck. The struggles may actually be a little bit worse for the Sabres and that could be scary for the Canadiens fans who thought the team had come close to turning over the leaf to a winning club.
The power play on the Canadiens is converting at a clip of 15.9%, which is not great, but definitely better than the Sabres. The defense for the Candiens is horrible at killing it off with 74.1% of the power plays killed off.
Recent Betting Trends:
Sabres are 4-1 in their last 5 vs. a team with a losing record.
Canadiens are 5-2 in their last 7 overall.
Over is 4-0-1 in Sabres last 5 road games.
Over is 3-0-1 in Canadiens last 4 vs. Atlantic.
Free Betting Pick: Buffalo Sabres +130
The Sabres may end up being on the road here, but the Sabres are the better team. The Canadiens seem to have trouble this year stringing together good line changes, let alone a strong offensive or defensive showing. The Sabres win this game 3-1.
