The last time the 4-3 Louisiana Tech Bulldogs and the 3-4 North Texas Mean Green met it was ugly, with the Bulldogs embarrassing the Mean Green in Louisiana, 52-17. Tonight the two rivals will face each other but the venue will be in North Texas and payback will be an incentive for the Mean Green. North Texas has a prolific offense, averaging 536.9 yards per game, and will be able to penetrate a Bulldogs’ defense that is allowing an average of 420.7 yards per game. The line opened up with Louisiana Tech laying 3.5 and has flipped to North Texas -1.5? Hmm, interesting.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NORTH TEXAS MEAN GREEN M/L
Wednesday NFL Pick
The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens are expected to finally face each other today at Heinz Field. Baltimore has been hit hard by the coronavirus with 8 starters on the list, including quarterback Lamar Jackson, but do you think the Steelers will show them any mercy? Absolutely not. The Steelers are eyeing a perfect season and will be seeking their 11th straight win. Pittsburgh has already beaten a healthy Baltimore team this year in Baltimore and will not think twice about running up the score. The Steelers have been a covering machine, going 7-1 ATS in their last 8 overall and are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 in Pittsburgh. Lay the points and take the Curtain.
TODAY’S PICK: PITTSBURGH STEELERS -10

Monday NFL Pick
The 3-6-1 Philadelphia Eagles will have to be clicking on every cylinder tonight if they want a home victory over the visiting 7-3 Seattle Seahawks. Why Philadelphia’s head coach Doug Pederson is sticking with quarterback Carson Wentz is beyond me. He has a passer rating of only 73.3, leads the league in turnovers with 14 picks, 4 fumbles, and has been sacked a ridiculous 40 times. Not good. Seattle is getting healthy and is expected to have starting running back Chris Carson back tonight after missing a month with a foot sprain. Russell Wilson is having another stellar year, with 30 touchdowns, and has a passer rating of 111.5. The Seahawks have won 6 straight against the Eagles, covering all 6, and are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 trips to Philadelphia.
TONIGHT’S PICK: SEATTLE SEAHAWKS -6.5
Sunday NFL Pick
The Buffalo Bills are coming off a bye week so they will be healed and well rested when they host the Los Angeles Chargers today at Bills Stadium. The Bills sit atop the AFC East with a 7-3 record and are 4-1 in Orchard Park. The Chargers have just 3 wins with 7 losses and all 3 wins were against the league’s worst: the NY Jets, the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Cincinnati Bengals. Buffalo is 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 coming off a bye week and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 as a home favorite. The Chargers have won 4 straight against the Bills but that streak ends today.
TODAY’S PICK: BUFFALO BILLS -4.5
Saturday NCAA Football Pick
The last time the 7-1 Clemson Tigers lost a home game was on November 12, 2016, and that was to the team they will be hosting today, the Pittsburgh Panthers. Pittsburgh sits at 5-4 on the season but could easily be 7-2 with two of their losses coming by just 1 point. Pitt is riding a 2-game winning streak and were clicking on all cylinders in last week’s 47-14 blowout of Virginia Tech. Clemson is expected to have Trevor Lawrence back behind center, which is why the line is currently Clemson -23.5. However, Lawrence has not played in over a month and the Tigers have not played since their overtime loss to the Irish on November 7th. Clemson has not been covering. They are 2-6 ATS this season and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games.
TODAY’S PICK: PITTSBURGH PANTHERS +23.5
Friday NCAA Football Pick
The 6-2 Iowa State Cyclones will look to extend their 3-game winning streak when they take on the 5-2 Texas Longhorns today in Austin. During their 3-game run, the Cyclones have outscored their opponents 135-53, including a 45-0 shellacking of Kansas State last week. Texas has also won 3 straight but have not played since November 7th so rust could be an issue. The Cyclones have the best running back in the NCAA, Breece Hall, who will be able to eat up yardage against a Longhorn defense that is allowing an average of 400.9 yards per game. Iowa State is 6-1 in the Big 12 and are currently a 1.5 point dog. Consider the Cyclones.
TODAY’S PICK: IOWA STATE CYCLONES +1.5
