USC is coming off losing by seventeen points against Wisconsin. ….

A season ago in October Texas Tech suffered their only loss of the season on the road at Arizona State. The next week they had their biggest conference home win of the season winning 42-0 against Oklahoma State. This I expect to be a tougher battle, as Arizona has won eleven out of their last twelve regular season games. Look for the Wildcats to put the pressure on Texas Tech to avoid consecutive losses, and finally show some growth against a ranked opponent. Take UofA plus the points.

The Minnesota Timberwolves after starting the season 3-0, have dropped their last two games. LaMelo Ball did match a season high with eight assists in Wednesday’s loss against the Golden State Warriors. Expect him to cutback on the turnovers that have plagued him the last two games, and for Lamelo to continue to shine in the assists department in the first slate of NBA cup games. Take his assists over.

Having a coach fired typically produces ATS value. Tonight, Baylor finds themselves actually as the road favorite against a Central Florida team that just upset BYU. Since Central Florida joined the Big 12, Baylor is 2-0 against them. This included their most lopsided win against a division one school last year with a 30-3 win. Tail Baylor either moneyline or on the short number.

The Carolina Panthers laid an egg in a blowout home loss this past Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was an off game for the offense and quarterback Bryce Young that has to get back on track on a short week. Jalen Coker has been quiet two out of his last three games where he has had eighteen yards or less of receiving. Still, he is just sixty six yards away from surpassing his yardage output from a season ago. He has a solid night and bounces back in the yardage department. Take his over.

The New Orleans Pelicans have the rare trait of being winless, but are undefeated ATS. This includes covering as a double digit underdog in their last matchup against tonight’s opponent in the Denver Nuggets. They jumped out to a fourteen point first quarter lead, before losing in overtime. In all three of their losses they’ve held the lead going into the fourth quarter. Another fourth quarter collapse may happen, but look for the Pelicans to remain undefeated ATS.

The New York Knicks find themselves 0-3 to start the season. They jumped out to a 10-0 lead Sunday on Orlando, and held a ten point lead in the fourth quarter but went flat scoring wise. Look for OG Anunoby to bounce back from a season low in rebounds, and this is also a personal game for him in that department. A year ago the only home game he played over thirty minutes and did not have a rebound was against Detroit. Take his over.

The Philadelphia Eagles are in a dire spot with their injuries. One player that shined despite not having Jalen Hurts in last week’s loss to Carolina was Dallas Goedert. Goedert’s last four matchups against Dallas he has went under today’s prop yardage offering, and in fact his only instance surpassing this since 2023 was fifty yards. He has his best performance since Christmas Eve 2022 against Dallas. Take his over.

With DeVonta Smith and Dontavyion Wicks out tonight there is going to be opportunities for other Eagles wide receivers to step up. Darius Cooper shined in London with two catches for seventy one yards, including a big sixty two yard play. Look for McKee to look his way as he gets more comfortable throwing the football in his second consecutive start. Cooper does enough to surpass his yardage prop.

The Indiana Pacers find themselves as road favorites tonight even being in a back to back spot. Last night’s win over the Nets was their first cover of the season, after being 0-2 ATS prior. That gives us a little bit of a discount on tonight’s number coupled with the Pacers being in a back to back spot. Take Indiana as they also have high interest facing their old teammate in Myles Turner. Lay the number.

The Tampa Bay Rays must reset after blowing a 4-0 lead in game two of the World Series. It is going to show early tonight if they still have the fight in bouncing back in this series. Freddy Peralta’s first start against his old team did not go well in July as he gave up seven runs. This is not at Milwaukee this time, and he has elevated his level of play. Tampa Bay ends Milwaukee’s seven game postseason win streak.

The Rams are the hot topic as they have now lost three out of their last four games. The one win they had to come back from a 20-10 deficit against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Raiders are 3-0 ATS at home, and have covered as underdogs recently against the Chiefs and last week against the Bills. Look for the Rams to keep this simple with a heavy ground game, and make adjustments defensively to a Klint Kubiak playbook they know from Seattle a season ago. Grab the Rams.

The LA Chargers and Miami Dolphins are the last winless teams remaining in the NFL. Miami is the odds on favorite to finish with the fewest wins in all of the NFL. They’ve scored the fewest points on the season, but are getting their first respectable spread since week one against the Raiders. The Jets have shown to play up to the higher level competition, but also down to the weaker teams. Grab the points with the fish.

Cam Ward is coming off throwing for just 102 yards in last week’s win against the Indianapolis Colts. In four of his five of his six starts he has thrown for 183 yards or less. Cleveland’s defense may look good on paper, but the chunk plays have been there with the intermediate routes. The Titans still may not throw the ball a lot, but look for Wandale Robinson to contribute enough to surpass his yardage prop. Play his over.

A common issue with the Utah Utes over the prior twenty years under Kyle Whittingham would be a spot like tonight. A key ranked matchup, time and time again they would lose. Some of those spots were health issues and others they had let downs. Tonight will not be an easy challenge against Connor Weigman and Houston, but it’s a spot having a new coach I believe makes the difference. The Utes finally turn the corner in a big ranked matchup. Tail Utah.
