Cavaliers minus $1.15 (money line) at Nets Up until the playoffs, the Cavaliers were underrated. They are underrated here, too. Cleveland won 51 games last season. The Nets won 45 games and have a new-look roster having moved on from Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. The Cavaliers are the superior team, an elite defensive club. […]
Tulane minus 20 hosting North Texas North Texas has the No. 1 rated offense in the American Athletic Conference. So why am I laying three touchdowns with Tulane? Because the Mean Green offense is going to have problems on the road against Tulane’s defense, which ranks sixth in fewest rushing yards allowed and is eighth […]

He’s the new offensive coordinator at Indiana replacing Walt Bell, who was let go last week during the Hooisers’ bye week. Carey has a unique clause in his contract. He will earn a $50,000 bonus if […]
Falcons minus $1.25 hosting Texans I’m selling high on the Texans, who are coming off back-to-back blowout victories against the Steelers and Jaguars. No doubt the Texans are improved. DeMeco Ryans and C.J. Stroud are off to promising starts. But I don’t see them beating an improved Atlanta team on the road. You have to […]
Commanders plus 9 1/2 at Eagles The Eagles have lost only once during Jalen Hurts’ last 21 regular season starts. Washington is the team owning that victory. That occurred last season with the Commanders upsetting the Eagles, 32-21, on a Monday night in Philadelphia. The Commanders have played the Eagles tough in Philadelphia going 2-0-2 […]
Yankees plus $1.07 at Blue Jays Never mind that the Yankees aren’t going to make the playoffs. Maybe they play better now that the pressure is off. They beat Kevin Gausman and the Blue Jays on Tuesday and they certainly can defeat Toronto again today with Gerrit Cole on the mound. Cole gets one final […]
