Happy Turkey weekend to everyone! Let’s feast on the bookies and take them out this weekend.

GB/Det under 56 – Two high powered offenses against mediocre defenses. Green Bay often struggles in detroit and their offensive line has been shaky the past few weeks. I see Detroit getting a lot of pressure on Rodgers taking away the deep passes. Stafford has had slow starts and big second halfs. If you can bet half times, I’d definitely pound the first half under. It takes a lot to go right for an NFL game to go over 56 points. The percentages are with you taking the under. Win

NY Jets -9 – The Bills have had very little offense this year, and what offense they’ve had has been Fred Jackson. The Jets have trouble scoring too, but nobody has had trouble scoring against the bills. I see a 20-3 type game in this one. Loss

Cincinnati -7.5 – The Bengals have proven they are a playoff caliber team with their close games against Pittsburgh and Baltimore the past 2 weeks. I’m a little concerned they are beat up after playing these physical teams. Cleveland has trouble getting points on the board, so as long as the Bengals can put up 18 points, you should be safe. Loss

Atlanta -9.5 (added Sunday morning) Atlanta is a great home team and Minnesota is lacking fire power to score with them. With no secondary, Matt Ryan and Roddy White should have a field day! Win

Chicago +5.5 – The Bears have won because of their defense, special teams and Matt Forte. They may miss Cutler a little, but as long as Hanie doesn’t turn the ball over, the Bears should keep their win streak alive. Win

Wash/Seattle under 37.5 – Seattle’s defense is tough to score on at home. Washington has a tough time scoring, as does Seattle. This game will have plenty of running and could be over in less than 3 hours. First team to 10 should win. Loss

Pittsburgh -10.5 – Kansas City has nothing left. Pittsburgh is coming off a bye and has plenty to play for. Look for another rout of the Chiefs. Loss

NY Giants +7 – The way to beat the Saints is to be physical and get a pass rush. This is the Giants MO. I think they win this one outright. Their offense is up and down, so I try to stay away from their games, but since they are getting a TD, even a bad game by Eli won’t prevent a cover in this one. Loss

This week: 3-5
Season: 35-32-3

Second straight losing day, but that will get turned around tonight.

Michigan St -13 (play of the day) Push

St Mary’s -7 Loss

Western Michigan +14.5 Loss

Michigan -6.5 Win

Evansville -4.5 Loss

San Diego St +6.5 Win

Today: 2-3-1
Season: 44-32-3
POTD: 7-3-1

We got back on the winning trail last night. I usually do best in the 2nd and 3rd rounds of tournaments, so tonight should bode well.

Louisville -22.5 Win

Hofstra -2.5 Loss

Elon +9 Win

Michigan +6.5 (play of the day) Loss

Kent St -3.5 Loss

North Carolina -26 Win

Boise St +9.5 loss

Cal Poly +15 loss

Today: 3-5
Season: 42-29-2
POTD: 7-3

Our first losing day in college hoops, and it wasn’t a disaster day. If all our losing days are only 1 game below .500, it will be a great season.

Indiana St -8.5 Loss

St Bonaventure -5 Win

Missouri -3.5 (play of the day) Win

California -5.5 Win
