Taking CARDS going RUN LINE. I am no Lester fan. But if the 14 game win streak goes down, I will at least be trying to get a little plus money on it. 4* RL Money STL CARDS 

4* Total Money UNDER Marlins./ Rays 

Taking the ASTORS. Had Houston last night. Game hasn't even started - doesn't matter. Will come right back on them today. Only as good as your next pitcher. Ours is pitching to a 2.82 ERA his last 7 starts. The team had won 7 of 10. As I said yesterday, Oakland is reeling right now. And Manaea? Is he the guy that is going to get a win streak going? He has an ERA north of 6 in his last 7 starts. In his last 9 starts, he has give up 4 or more runs in 5 of them. 58 hits in 54 innings the last 2 months and 34 Runs - 10 HRs. Not buying Oakland at all. Especially when I can get a playoff team at basically even money. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON ASTROS 

Taking UTAH STATE. So we have a nice early start time. Right off the bat, a good plus for the home team. Boise I think is in for a long season. I think their coach is in over his head. Now, laying a big chunk to an undefeated on the road. After you just got stymied at home and couldn't do anything offensively? No way. I think this line is a touchdown to high. I won't be shocked one bit if the Aggies win this one outright. These guys are a live dog. They have gone on the road as dogs and won at Washington State and Air Force. Boise whipped a bad UTEP team. I had them against UCF for a miracle cover. Again. Coaching problems. My guy on Utah State loves the dog role and is hungry. 4* Money Maker UTAH STATE 

Taking TCU. Revenge on the plate for this lunch time game on Saturday. SMU knocked these guys off back in 2019. Well, the Horned Frogs have been sitting around their bye week preparing for the Mustangs attack. SMU in off a last second 33 yard TD pass to remain unbeaten. Their QB to no ones surprise who knows a Sonny Dykes offense,  has 16 TD passes through 3 games. But this is a step up. You knocked off big brother last time. Time for little brother to be put in his place. Double Digit win here as the SMU defense is always lack luster. 4* Money Maker TCU 

Taking NORTHWESTERN. We faded these guys last week in one of my videos but will ride them to a cover and a date at the ticket window. This is a nice get right game for the home team. Ohio is an absolute dumpster fire right now. Coming into the season, these guys were poised to be one of the top teams in the MAC. Well - their long time HC abruptly hangs it up, and talent or not, the new guy can't get out of his own way. The players are just responding and maybe the guy standing next to the other guy wasn't the right choice to run the program. Wildcats were down 30-7 at half and rallied to a 30-23 loss. Turnovers hurt. Now they get a taste a victory vs a team that lost at home to Duquesne 28-26, as 28.5 favorites! Duquesne by the way, after trailing TCU 35-0 at the half, talked the Horned Frogs into playing 12 minute 3rd + 4th quarters. Ohio is a mess. If Northwestern doesn't win this by 20 here at home, they will be getting into the dumpster with the Bobcats. 8* Sure Shot NORTHWESTERN WILDCATS 

Taking CENTRAL MICHIGAN. So they are 1-2 on the year and a MAC team is laying double digits. Both losses in SEC play. In fact, last week they flew to the LSU game on game day! Yes. Not much hotel space after the Hurricane roared through town. 35-7 at the half and you're shocked they got 7. That's a tough schedule spot. But are home now, comfy in our surroundings. FIU comes in for a long road trip. A team off back to back losses - lost at home to Texas State and then went to Texas for Texas Tech to rough them up, 54-21. And unlike CMU, they didn't show up from the airport with their luggage. I like Jim McElwain. Butch Davis has lost that Miami U glow a long time ago. 5* Best Bet CENTRAL MICHIGAN 

Taking STANFORD here. So we roared with Stanford after their Game 1 debacle vs Kansas State and were rewarded with a double digit dog outright winner. We did fade them last week laying a big road number to Vandy. But, to my surprise, there was no let down and Stanford took care of business. This line has gone up a point since the opener. I guess people think UCLA is 'due' to win since they were upset last week. Well, if they were in a dog roll or shorter favorites, maybe I would consider it. Bu, the Bruins are 1-6-1 ATS last 8 in this series and just 3-8 ATS last 11 trips to Stanford. Last year was a wild 48-47 Stanford OT win. Stanford did lead 20-3 at the half. UCLA took a 34-20 4thQ lead before the Tree tied things up. I don't know if gets that crazy tonight, but I will grab any points with the home team. 4* Money Maker STANFORD

Taking ARKANSAS. This team is a nice surprise for their fans. Line continues to drop. I am not sold on A&M off a big win. Beating New Mexico and not even covering is not a major accomplishment. This team has QB problems for me. Or at least scoring problems overall. However you want to word it. The 10-7 at Colorado should send up alarm bells. That is the same Colorado team that just was blanked 30-0 at home by Minnesota without their star RB! Hogs playing with Wild Boar sized chips on their shoulders right now. We saw them absolutely destroy Texas. 4* Money Maker ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS 

Taking WESTERN MICHIGAN. Looks like the Western Michigan we thought was going to show up against Michigan showed up against Pitt. Albeit they gave up 6 passing TDs. Good news is San Jose isn't built like. Better news is they get them here at home with Spartans coming in from Hawaii. That is a long haul. Clear body clock edge for the home team. Now the 'let down' factor might be in play but not a lot. San Jose also in off a big road win. Any road win is big for them. Coming into the season, WMU was suppose to contend for the MAC Title. Knocking off a so-so Pitt team is not that far fetched. I liked this guys coming into the year, will take them laying the short number at home. 4* Money Maker WESTERN MICHIGAN
