The Las Vegas Raiders’ playoff hopes are hanging by a very slim thread so a loss at home tonight to the Los Angeles Chargers is not an option. Jon Gruden finally had enough of the lackluster effort by his defense and told his defensive coordinator, Paul Guenther, to take it on the arches after Sunday’s loss to Indy. The Raiders have won the last 3 meetings with the Chargers, who are just 1-5 on the road, and a coaching change will usually ignite a team.
TONIGHT’S PICK: LAS VEGAS RAIDERS M/L

Tuesday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The Stetson Hatters are winless on the season, at 0-4, and after tonight they will be 0-5. Stetson will be hosting the 4-2 Florida Atlantic Owls and after a slow start to the season the Owls have found a spark. Florida Atlantic is riding a 4-game winning streak and have outscored their opponents, 402-231, over that span. The Hatters are having trouble scoring points, averaging just 55.8 per game, and are allowing an average of 76.3. Not good.
TONIGHT’S PICK: FLORIDA ATLANTIC OWLS M/L
Monday NFL Pick
The 9-3 Cleveland Browns are once again getting no respect and are a home dog tonight when they host the 7-5 Baltimore Ravens. The Browns are riding a 4-game winning streak and will have payback on their minds after getting pummeled by the Ravens, 38-6, back on September 13th. Cleveland is 5-1 at home. These are not the same old Browns.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CLEVELAND BROWNS +3
Sunday NFL Pick
The Pittsburgh Steelers will be licking their wounds as they make the short trip to Orchard Park to take on the red hot Josh Allen and Buffalo Bills. The Steelers are coming of their first loss of the season to the mediocre, at best, Washington Football Team. The Bills have won 5 of their last 6 and have a swagger that has not been there since the Kelly years. The Bills get it done.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO BILLS M/L
Saturday NCAA Football Pick
The 3-2 Fresno State Bulldogs will be able to put up some points tonight when they face the 1-5 New Mexico Lobos. This game will be played at a neutral site, Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas. The Lobos will have trouble containing the Bulldogs offense, which is averaging 493.6 yards per game and is ranked #5 in passing, where they average 357.6 yards per game. The Lobos defense is simply not good. They are ranked #106 overall, allowing an average of 453.6 yards per game and are ranked #113 against the pass, allowing an average of 271.8 yards per game. Fresno State has won 5 straight against New Mexico and have covered all 5.
TONIGHT’S PICK: FRESNO STATE BULLDOGS -12.5
Friday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The Canisius Golden Griffins will kick off their season tonight with a conference home game against the Marist Red Foxes. The Red Foxes are off to a 2-0 start but both wins were against the always bad Binghamton Bearcats who were dead last in the America East Conference a year ago with a record of 4-12. Canisius will have some key players returning, including Majesty Brandon who led the Griffs in scoring, averaging 13.9 points per game, which was 10th in the MAAC in 2019-2020. Canisius has had their way with Marist, sweeping them last year, and have won 6 of the last 7 meetings. Consider the Blue and Gold.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CANISIUS GOLDEN GRIFFINS M/L
