The Temple Owls will be seeking their first road victory of the season when they visit the struggling Tulane Green Wave. Tulane has lost 3 straight and were blown out last week by UCF, 51-34, where they allowed a total of 689 yards. Over their last 3 losses, they have allowed a staggering 1,746 yards and that is not good. The Owls quarterback Anthony Russo has been delivering with a completion rate of 68% and Temple is averaging 441 yards per game on offense. The Owls are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings with the Wave and will be getting 6.5 in this one.

The Wyoming Cowboys will host the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors tonight in Laramie for their 2020 home debut. The Cowboys were a perfect 6-0 last year at home and looked impressive last week in Reno, despite losing to the Wolf Pack in OT, 34-37. Hawaii is coming off a road win over the Fresno Bulldogs, 34-19, but history doesn’t lie. The Warriors are mediocre at best on the mainland. Over the last 3 years, they were 7-11 on the road and 1-10 ATS in their last 11. The line in this one opened up with Hawaii laying 2.5 and has now swung to Wyoming -1?
TONIGHT’S PICK: WYOMING COWBOYS M/L
Thursday NFL Pick
The 3-4 Carolina Panthers will look to end their 2-game skid when they host the 1-6 Atlanta Falcons tonight in Charlotte. The Panthers have already beaten the Falcons this year in Atlanta, 23-16, and they could see the return of their All-Star running back tonight, Christian McCaffrey, who did not play in their first meeting. The Falcons offense can move the ball. They are ranked 6th in the league but will be up against a pretty good Panthers defense that is ranked 13th in the league, allowing an average of 351.1 yards per game. Carolina’s Teddy Bridgewater has been very efficient thus far. As he did in their first meeting, Bridgewater should be able to exploit a Falcons defense that is ranked next to last and are allowing an average of 425.9 yards per game.

Tuesday MLB Pick
With the Series on the line tonight, Tampa will turn to Blake Snell to force Game 7 and he is more than capable. In Game 2, Snell kept the Dodgers offense in check, pitching 4-2/3 strong innings, striking out 9 and yielding 2 runs resulting in a 6-4 Rays victory. Tony Gonsolin is expected to get the start for the Dodgers. He has not pitched well this postseason and lasted just 1.1 innings in Game 2. As we know, the Rays bounce back after a win and I will take Kevin Cash’s managing skills over Dave Roberts any day of the week.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY RAYS
Monday NFL Pick
The Chicago Bears will have their 3-0 road record on the line tonight when they head to SoFi Stadium to face the Los Angeles Rams. Chicago is 5-1 on the season but don’t lose sight of the fact that four of those victories were against subpar competition: Carolina, Detroit, Atlanta and the NY Giants. LA is 2-0 at home and 4-2 on the season, with both losses coming against quality opponents, the Buffalo Bills and the San Francisco 49ers. The Rams have the edge in points scored and points allowed, and won the last meeting with the Bears, 17-7.
TONIGHT’S PICK: LOS ANGELES RAMS M/L
Sunday MLB Pick
The Tampa Bay Rays didn’t win Game 4 of the World Series last night, the Los Angeles Dodgers blew it. Nonetheless, the Fall Classic is now tied at 2 apiece. If the momentum has swung the Rays way, the Dodgers starter, Clayton Kershaw, will put an end to that. Kershaw, who is 3-1 in the postseason with a 2.88 ERA, was brilliant in Game 1 where he allowed just 1 run on 2 hits over 6 innings of work, resulting in a decisive 8-3 victory. He is expected to be opposed by Tampa’s Game 1 starter, Tyler Glasnow. Glasnow’s postseason numbers are nothing to brag about, at 2-2 with a bloated ERA of 6.08, and he was lit up in Game 1 by LA, yielding 6 runs on 3 hits over 4-1/3 innings. Just like the Rays, the Dodgers are resilient. They are 50-19 over their last 69 following a loss and it’s never wise to go against the future hall of famer Clayton Kershaw.
