What a game! That might have been the best show we have seen in 30 years of watching football. The Rams outlast the Chiefs in a barn burner. This went down exactly like we and probably a number of bettors and analysts thought. Sometimes the books are helpless against the inevitable and you have to be willing to lay it out there. We picked the Chiefs at +9.5 and the over of 57.5 for all the marbles for both our Season Pass and All Access players. The pick covered the over easily and the resilient Chiefs kept climbing back in it (image provided by www.therams.com).
After a rough NFL and NCAAF weekend, tonight was much needed relief. We are still up for the season (check our pick history) in both leagues and looking to make a big plays this week and weekend. Join now to receive all the football action you need over the long holiday weekend.
We also had a free play on Texas Tech men’s basketball. Our pick was the under of 139. Unfortunately the free throws got us as the game closed. Tech played the defense we expected but the game got out of hand in the end closing at 141.

As Brent Musburger says “Cashing tickets is what its all about”! We had another busy slate tonight with action across multiple leagues. We are are having good success across our college plays but are struggling with the NBA at the moment. But as always, we will dig a little deeper and find an advantage as the NBA season matures.

NCAAF
We had more Maction on Wednesday with 4 veteran teams showcasing the best of the MAC. We had three plays for you last night. We felt confident on Toledo catching +4, but it turned out to be horrible night for the Rockets offensively and defensively. Not surprisingly the UNI defense was the best unit on the field which is why we played a 2 Star pick on the under of 55 that got a little scary towards the end. A defensive stand from UNI to keep Toledo off the board at the end of the game kept the total at 53.
In the other MAC game we gave out free pick with 2Team 6pt Teaser that allowed us to take the hard fighting Miami team at +11 (instead of +5) and an over of 54 (instead of 60). A late rally by Ohio helped us get over and go 2-1 for the night in college football
NBA
Another rough night in the NBA, 2 plays and 2 losses. We will re-adjust here and see if there are any blips in our model. This happens periodically, so we will remain cautious with 1 Star plays for the next few days until we gain some confidence in the model.
NCAAM
There is ample opportunity early in the college basketball season and we have hit on few early. Unfortunately Saint Mary’s which is a traditional under team went directly to the over last night and beat us on the under of 144. Fortunately we had a two star play on Arizona at -21. Houston Baptist kept is close for a half and then Arizona turned it on closing out the game +30
NCAA College Basketball tipped last night. We put together an opening slate of picks around three of the marquee teams for the 2018-2019 season and were able to score wins in all three. We also had other plays in the NBA and with College Football.
NCAA College Basketball
Duke showed us, and the nation, that despite no returning starters that they will be a force to be reckoned with. Its very early in the season, but there is definitely some over potential with this team despite the early trends that unders are the sharper play. Duke and Kentucky easily covered the over of 157.5 with a dominant performance for our only 2 Star play of the day.
We did not have it as easy with our free pick of the day. We try to mix in sharper plays with the free picks so our free pick subscribers can get a flavor of the premium wagering wisdom we provide. Last night we had Kansas at -4.5 over Michigan State. As stated in our pick the KU big-men were too much for the Spartans to handle. The line bounced between -5.5 and -4.5 all day, we were lucky to get the -4.5 which kept us in the win column.
Our third play in NCAA Basketball was on the under of 128.5 between the University of Virginia and Towson. UVA has a been an under machine over the past several years and we are happy to see that trend continue.
College Football
We had one College Football game last night with Buffalo and Kent State giving us our Tuesday night Maction fix. This was a hard game to handicap as the wind was going to play havoc with the passing game of Buffalo and both units special teams. We made a small play on Buffalo at -18 as they were the stronger team and at home. We did not see them scoring 48 with only 120 passing yards, but the ground game took care of Kent State easily in a 48-14 victory that wasn’t that close.
NBA
Lastly we had two NBA picks for you last night. Both losers on the overs of 227 (Mavericks and Wizards) and 232 (Hornets and Hawks). We saw some sharper action hitting both of these totals and our analysis supported a small play that didn’t work out.
As always – Thank you for your trust and we will do our best to earn it every day.
