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
Thursday NFL Pick
The 6-6 New England Patriots are riding a 2-game winning streak and if they want to make it 3, they had better bring their A game tonight when they visit SoFi Stadium to face the Los Angeles Rams. The 8-4 Rams have won 3 of their last 4, with the 3 wins coming against quality opponents: Seattle Seahawks, Tampa Bay Bucs and the Arizona Cardinals. On both sides of the ball, the Rams are formidable. Their offense is ranked #3 in the league, averaging 395.3 yards a game, and their defense is ranked #2, allowing an average of just 291.3 yards per game. Cam Newton could be in for a rough night, facing the league’s best against the pass so the Pats will rely heavily on a run game that is averaging 150.9 yards per game but the Rams will have an answer for that. They are ranked #3 against the run, allowing a stingy 93.1 yards per game. Overall LA is the better team. They are 4-1 at home and have not forgotten Super Bowl LIII.
TONIGHT’S PICK: LOS ANGELES RAMS M/L
