Had a bit of a wild week last week but this is typically when I start to get hot and get a good feel for games. I obviously won't be posting this many picks again but looking for a week in the +. Finished 8-1 ATS in NFL bets in Week 1.

2016 Season

Week 1: 2-2 ATS (-1.00 Units)
Week 2: 13-10-1 ATS (+22.50 Units)

Good Luck to everyone, some great money to be made out there!

Cincinnati Bearcats +7.5 (10 Units)

How interesting that some 64% of the betting public is on the darling Cougars, playing in a mid-week Primetime game under the lights yet the line was at 8.5 yesterday and has now gone down to 7.5. Some people out there know what they are doing. Cincinnati is not great but they are not a joke and Houston is going to find out the hard way here. Both teams are 2-0 SU and 1-1 ATS so they've had their shares of ups and their shares of downs. Houston have not won a game in Cincinnati since 1971 so again you can see how difficult it will be for them to win this let alone win this by more than a touchdown. The last time three times these two teams got together, all three games combined were determined by a grand total of 17 points.

Houston is averaging 460.5 total yards per game on 5.2 yards per play but this surprising Cincinnati offense is averaging 456.0 total yards per game but a whopping 6.2 yards per play. The Bearcats defence has been somewhat shredded but they are forcing a botload of turnovers so far with 8 in two games which has resulted in a crazy 35 points scored. I don't know that the Bearcats can have a ton of success on the ground because Houston's defense is the real deal but in the air is a different story. Bearcats QB Hayden Moore has completed 60.6% of his passes for 7.7 yards per pass attempt, 5 touchdown passes and 1 interception. The reason this should be a concern for Houston backs is because in two games they have allowed opponents to complete 66.0% of their passes this season for a huge 8.1 yards per pass attempt and they don't have an interception yet on the year.

Don't get me wrong, Houston has been cash money as an away team the last four or five season but most of those games as an underdog. I know their starters (some of them) did not play against Lamar but I don't like. I don't like stopping flow and then having to re-start again. Cincinnati is always good and dangerous is conference games and they are 11-3-1 ATS in their last 15 games played in the Conference. They are also very consistent and coming off that road win in Purdue I think morale is very high. Like I mentioned earlier, and I'm not sure what it is, Houston does not play well here. 0-3-1 ATS in their last four trips to Cincy. I smell an upset.

Trend of the Game: Cincinnati is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games when coming off a game where they rush for 200+ yards.


Cincinnati 31, Houston 27

Baylor Bears -32.5 (10 Units)


Nice, short and sweet on this one. Despite all the off-field issues with this program, not much has changed and the offense is the real deal. Most definitely not a fan of being on the same side as 76% of the betting public but I'm hoping this is a freebie from Vegas and I would be kicking myself if I wasn't on it. Baylor is 0-2 ATS on the year, losing out on two inflated lines but I think this one is perfect. The Bears scored 95 points in their first two games combined and average 517.0 total yards of offense per game. WOW! Saying that's a problem for this Rice defense is an understatement. The Owls have allowed 531.5 total yards of offense per game this season and 7.6 yards per play. The Bears defense on the other hand is solid allowing only 241.5 total yards per game so far and only 3.4 yards per play. I have no idea how Rice is going to generate offense in this one. Baylor should roll. Okay so the Bears have not cashed for anyone this season but they are 6-0 ATS in their last six games versus CUSA Conference opponents and they are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games coming off a game where they accumulate 450+ total yards of offense. Rice is 0-6 ATS in their last six games versus a team with a winning record and 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight games overall dating back to last season. Baylor is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings between these teams and that's all I need to know really. All Baylor in this one.

Trend of the Game: Baylor is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games coming off a game where they have 450+ total yards of offense.


Baylor 62, Rice 7




Arkansas State Red Wolves +9 (50 Units) ***PLAY OF THE NIGHT***

This is my BIG one tonight and maybe biggest play of the week. Right now the Red Wolves are getting no respect whatsoever from anyone, including the betting public, because they are 0-2 SU on the year and have been somewhat embarrassed in both games they have played. But wait a minute. Did everyone forget that Arkansas State was favored by 4.5 points at home against Toledo, had a bad game and then had to go to Auburn as 20.5 point underdogs? That's a tough recovery. This is the one the see themselves winning, not at Auburn last week. That was almost a writeoff before it even started. So the 9 points we are getting is incredible. Utah State got CRUSHED by USC last week and beat Weber State. So why so much love? I won't get into too many stats because the stats are ugly for Arkansas State but facing a Toledo offence and an Auburn offence is not an easy way to start the year. Now they get a Utah State offense that is good but that they can keep up with for once. What I like about the Red Wolves is that in their two losses they did not turn the ball over one time. They battled. The scores didn't show it but this is a good team waiting to breakout. Arkansas State is bound for a bounce back performance and they are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games coming off a game where they rush for less than 100 yards. UTAH STATE IS 1-9 ATS IN THEIR LAST 10 GAMES VERSUS SUN BELT CONFERENCE OPPONENTS. They are also 1-6 ATS in their last seven games overall and I'm not sure why so many trust them. I like Arkansas State big time in this one. They should win straight up.

Trend of the Game: Utah State Aggies are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games versus Sun Belt Conference opponents.


Arkansas State 31, Utah State 27
