OHIO BOBCATS -3 over Wyoming Cowboys-----CJ Harris #10,  which was Pele's number,  and Drake and Caesar and #20 Floyd look good,  with #17 Watkins.  Wyoming's schedule looks weak; they went 6-6 ATS.(Push 30-27............They had it,  at 21-17; just had to stop 'em on defense.  Didn't happen.  Ohio was +90 yds and +1TO)

UCLA BRUINS -7 over Pitt Panthers----I'm betting Pac-12 over Pitt's conference(this line is jumping all over the place).  Many Pitt players are not playing,  as their QB transferred.   True UCLA's defense is not good;  but they did beat Washington.  Pitt lost to Georgia Tech,  UNC and Louisville.  Pitt does have Goncalves,  one of the names,  I believe,  in the Idaho murders.  And they have #14 Mumpfield and #20 McIntyre.  UCLA has #20 Medrano and a #6.   Thompson-Robinson may have some pressure,  but Robinson is only half his name.  UCLA has Gabriel Murphy.(Lose 37-35........Pitt +4 TO,  even on yards)

WASHINGTON HUSKIES +3 over Texas Longhorns--------Texas has two 'Robinson's,  as did Mississippi when they got crushed by Texas Tech.   Florida State had two Roberts and a Robinson;  they are currently getting beaten.  Washington has Jeremiah Martin,  and Turner #20 and #9 Michael Penix.  Yes,  Tagovailoa failed for us in the black-v-White QB match up.   But I'll go here as "Steve" is the name of Texas' coach and Stephen King has something to do with the unsolved Idaho killings.   We'll declare that the name Robinson is "down" right now.(Win 27-20..........Wash +140 passing yards)

BUTLER BULLDOGS -3 over Providence Friars------Butler has the Revenge and the home-off-road-loss,   Eric Hunter,  Taylor,  Pierce Thomas,  Ali Ali and Chuck Harris.   Providence has Ed Croswell,  which may not work for them as the Duke Blue Devils crushed UCF yesterday. (Lose 72-52.....crushed;  Providence must be catholic)

ORLANDO MAGIC -3.5 over La Lakers----Orlando does have the home Revenge,  and a massive +ATS advantage.   Although Lakers and Magic have each won only 13 games,  Orlando is on a 10-0 ATS run.  They're like the best basketball team in the world right now,  recently.   And they are a small favorite at home.(Lose 129-110...........Fucked up.)

BUFFALO BULLS +6.5 over Georgia Southern Eagles-----GS has 2 'Justin's,  but Buffalo has Justin Marshall.  Buffalo also has Cobb and Jackson,  Isaiah King and Robbie Mangas.  Not sure why the line is moving away from us.  Georgia Southern's coach is Clay Helton,  whereas Buffalo has Maurice Linguist.   I'll take the underdog.(Win 23-21)

COASTAL CAROLINA CHANTICLEERS +7.5(-120) over East Carolina Pirates-----ECU has about 3 Johnson's and Ty Moss and Mike Edwards(not sure if they start).  CC's epic loss vs James Madison occurred when they didn't have their QB,  which today they will have.   CC has names like Joshua Madison,  Tyler Roberts and Josiah Robinson,  and Kennedy Roberts,  and a Jackson and a Johnson.  And #14 J Brown.(Lose 53-29..........very bad defense by CC)

NEW MEXICO STATE AGGIES +3.5 over Bowling Green Falcons------BG has really gotten whacked by some teams in its conference.  They do have Jakari Robinson(and Anderson,  another undesirable name),  a name which didn't bring victory to the Knicks yesterday.  And they have Christian Sims and "Warner",  a truly evil name pursuant to Warner Bros theft of Harry Potter from me.   They do have the 9 and 6,  but no other good numbers.   But New Mexico State has Head Coach Jerry Kill,   whose name represents the capitalistic choice of all media,  in their vile campaign to NOT PUBLISH MY BOOk and not pay me  a single dime for creating Harry Potter so they ccould make billions.   That's why,  unfortunately,  there have to be so many killings in this country(capitalistic media greed) and with Justice Powers(and King) its why New Mexico State has to win.(Win 24-19...........Star Thomas TD,  Eric Marsh TD;  New Mexico State +110 yds)

MIAMI DOLPHINS -3.5 over Green Bay Packers-------Miami is home off 3 road losses(2 of those were against the best teams).   The amazing play from yesterday was the TD to #14 George Pickens to get the Steelers the win(Miami has Sherfield at #14).   They also have #17 Waddle.   They also have THREE 'Roberts',  Elandon,  Hunt and Jones(How is this team only 8-6?).  Christian Wilkins balances Christian Watson for the "Christmas" advantage.   Packers on a 3-2 ATS run and while they did beat Dallas,  at 6-8 overall there's no hope for the playoffs.   I highly doubt that Miami can screw this game up.(Lose 26-20...........And they screw it up.   Tagovailoa threw this game away in the 2nd half for no discernible reason other than that he's shook,  scared,  should not be in the NFL or just sucks.  Dolphins +75 yds,  Packers +3 TO)

MILWAUKEE BUCKS +5.5 over Boston Celtics-----Mil does have the Revenge from last season.  While both teams are good vs the spread,  Milwaukee has just lost two games and they have Jrue Holiday,  who is preferable as today is............a holiday.(Lose 139-118..........Grayson Allen 0-3 on 3s,  only 8pts,  by a +/- of -17.   Well,  they only lost by 21.  Giannis had a +/- of -27......!!  I'd cut his ass;  you can't be a more unvaluable player than that.)

ARIZONA CARDINALS +7.5 over Tampa Bay Buccaneers-----home-off-road-loss for Arizona.  With Tampa on a 1-8 ATS run,  we'll go here.  We have Wilson #20 and Simmons #9.(Win 19-16..........2 INTs by Wilson)

DETROIT LIONS -2.5 over Carolina Panthers-----Lions are determined and resolute.   After beating Green Bay,  they went 6-0 ATS against some good teams,  bringing their total season to 10-4 ATS.   But to make the playoffs,  they still have work to do.   So I don't see how anyone would go against the Lions here.   Yes,  they are on the road, but they need the game.(Lose 37-23...........Panthers can't beat Rams or Arizona...........but they run Lions out the park.  Lions beat Jets Minnesota and Green Bay..........but they lose this game?)

WASHINGTON COMMANDERS +230 over San Francisco 49ers(Lose 37-20)

WASHINGTON COMMANDERS +6.5 over San Francisco 49ers-----49ers have clinched the division so...........they don't need this game.   Commanders only screwed up last game because Dave asked me for a pick.   And I said "Commanders".   And he took them..........for $2.   Like,  I gave him a bet on my top play.   That'll never happen again.   Dave has become overrun by demons and its impossible for him to win anymore.   San Francisco has not played a game since Francesco Villi killed people in Toronto.   So it's natural to assume a decline in their performance.   Washington NEEDS this game and 49ers don't.(Lose 37-20............George Kittle 2 TDs;  Washington's done---no playoffs)

DALLAS COWBOYS -4 over Philadelphia Eagles------The number is beginning to.....slide.  Well,  has slid.  Cowboys and Eagles have both clinched,  so how important could this game be?  Dallas has the home Revenge and home-off-road-loss.   In fact,  last game was an embarrassing loss to Jaguars.   Dallas' results are volatile;  they beat Houston by only 4 but Minnesota by 37.   I can't imagine the base humiliation if Dallas gets beat by Gardner Minshew.   So we have to assume that won't happen.(Win 40-34............Dallas +3 TOs...........Kearse and DaRon Bland get the INTs)

GEORGE WASHINGTON COLONIALS +3.5 over Pepperdine Waves----Brown is a name that looks good,  winning on South Carolina,  St Joseph's and Missouri yesterday.  GW also has Edwards,  Bishop and Hunter Dean.(Lose 81-70...........yeah,  this was fucked up...........

https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/woman-shot-dead-outside-wallasey-25835771#source=push(A woman who was shot dead at a Wirral pub on Christmas Eve has been described as a "beautiful angel" who had a "pure heart".

Moving tributes have been paid to Elle Edwards, 26, who was tragically gunned down while enjoying Christmas Eve night out with friends and family at the Lighthouse Pub in Wallasey Village.) )

BOSTON BRUINS -120 over New Jersey Devils----Devils have slowed way down,  going 3-7 in their last 10.  Bruins have won about 6 of every 7 games they've played.(Win 4-3)

BAYLOR BEARS -3.5 over Air Force Falcons---Indiana State,  favored by 17.5 at home,  with Robbie Avila and Rob Martin,  has incredibly lost today vs Northern Illinois and David Coit.   Air Force gets most of their rushing yards from Brad Roberts.   So I'll go against that name here,  preferring to take Hal Presley and Gabe Hall(you saw that name yesterday on WKU in a beatdown).   And look,  Air Force built their record vs New Mexico and Utah State while Baylor was playing TCU and other serious teams.  Some people say Baylor doesn't wanna learn to stop the triple option.   Dude,  its all runs.   They're not gonna pass.  How hard can it be?(Lose 30-15...........A sick assault against me.   Can't beat a military school??????   You've disgraced the dignity of the Koresh Compound)

ORLANDO MAGIC -2 over Houston Rockets-----Orlando is on an 8-0 ATS streak,  beating teams you'd not expect them to beat.   Both Wagner's are playing.   Orlando has the in-season Revenge on the road here...........and a Harris.(Win 116-110)

MIAMI HURRICANES +4 over Virginia Cavaliers---------Miami has the home Revenge with Jordan Miller and a 'Robinson',  though he doesn't start.(Win 66-64.........Wong 24pts)

WASHINGTON COMMANDERS -4.5 over New York Giants------Commanders off the Bye at home....just tied this team,  when the Giants were off a long rest if not a bye.   Wash has gone 6-1-1 ATS,   Giants seem to be just hanging on,   Commanders are heading for playoffs.   And Chase Young might play.  Chase Hunter had 18pts in Clemson's beat down yesterday.(Lose 20-12...........CHASE YOUNG FAILS TO PLAY.  Washington +99 yds,  Giants +2 TO)

CINCINNATI BENGALS -3.5 over Tampa Bay Buccaneers-----Bengals off 5 straight wins,  Tampa has the home-off-road-loss but they are 3-9 ATS and have an anemic offense averaging only 17 pts per game.   Bengals are a good team heading to p-offs.  And...........Bengals also have Jamarr Chase,  a day after Chase Audige hits a career-hi with 28 pts in a crushing of the Depaul Blue Demons.(Win 34-23............Chase a TD,  Burrow 4 TDs...........Germaine Pratt an INT,  Mitchell Wilcox TD..........Bengals +3 TO,  Tampa +160 yds)

CHICAGO BEARS +8.5 over Philadelphia Eagles------Bears home off the Bye having sucked and lost their last 6.  But their names aren't so bad,  with a Robinson and Muhammed.  Ah,  they also have Chase Claypool,  a day after Northern Iowa got a 21.5 cover over Towson with Chase Courbat.....not getting any points.   The name 'Chase' has quickly become an asset to teams.(Win 25-20.........Bears +2 TO,  Eagles +193 yds)

LOUISVILLE CARDINALS -2.5 over Cincinnati Bearkats------Blowout.(Win 24-7.............Turner 160 yds,  Ford a TD..........Jordan 2 TDs)

LA CLIPPERS +6.5 over Phoenix Suns-----Clippers have the home Revenge.  Suns on 0-5 streak while Clippers have been winning..........they have Robert Covington.(Lose 111-95.............No,  Covington has 4 pts........John Wall has 12.....no Revenge in LA)

SANTA CLARA BRONCOS -1.5 over UC Irvine------SC has the home Revenge,  with a nasty 4-7 ATS record.   However,  they also have #14 Keeshawn Justice,  who can surely get us into this game.(Win 86-74.............Carlos Stewart 29pts...........Justice 26 pts................Parker Braun 8pts)

NEW MEXICO STATE AGGIES +13.5 over St Mary's Gaels------They have Gordon,  who won yesterday on the Rockets(Win 81-68..............Win by a half-point!   Washington had 20)

BOSTON CELTICS -4 over La Lakers-----Aren't the Lakers over,  at 11-15,  aren't they and LeBron tapped out?  Well,  Celtics are 21-7,  a serious team.   And they have the Revenge on the road here.  And they have Grant Williams,  which is the name to watch.(Push 122-118.............How does Jaylen Brown inexplicably miss both FTs at the end to ruin this win?)

MOROCCO +1100 TO WIN WORLD CUP------With 4 equal teams to go,  the proper price for each is +300.   Morocco beat Belgium 2-0,  they beat Spain in  a shoot out and they beat Portugal.   How are they this "unequal" in price?(Lose to France 2-0........France used to own Morocco,  so we gave this slave country a chance to avenge against their slave masters.   Bet on slaves,  you get slave-results)

ORAL ROBERTS GOLDEN EAGLES -2.5 over Liberty Flames(Win 84-70...........Max Abmas 26pts.......Kareem Thompson 15pts.........Patrick Mwamba 8pts)

CAROLINA PANTERS +3.5 over Seattle Seahawks----Carolina is off the Bye,  with Steve Wilks at interim HC.   They have Hubbard at RB.  They are 0-5 on the road but have #14 Sam Darnold at QB.   They have not won vs Seattle in 3 prior meetings,  which gives them the 3X Revenge, but that's going back to 2019 games.  Both teams are 6-6 ATS.(Win 30-24..........Bust-bang,  Carolina +2 TO,  Horn and Henderson with INTs...........Darnold throws for 120 yards,  Hubbard a TD)

MONTREAL CANADIENS +150 over La Kings-----Canadiens have the Revenge,  going back to Nov '21.   They have the 20, 17, 14 trifecta,  while Kings don't have those numbers.  They have Edmundson.  Both teams have lost 11 games so I'm not sure why Kings are so favored.(Lose 4-2..........despicable goaltending by Jake Allen early in the game;  Canadiens didn't have much of a chance after that)

NEW YORK ISLANDERS +180 over New Jersey Devils----Devils are 21-4 but Islanders have the Revenge, Romanov and Mayfield.   Devils can't keep up this pace of winning,  so I'll fade them here.(Win 6-4............Oliver Wahlstrom G,  Anders Lee G,  Brock Nelson 2 Goals..........Alex Romanov 2 Assists)

NETHERLANDS +155 over Argentina TO ADVANCE-----Here we go.(Lose 2-2........Netherlands goalie doesn't stop anything in the shootout.   Shitty ending)

SAN JOSE SHARKS +100 over Vancouver Canucks-----San Jose,  off 3 straight losses,  but they have the home Revenge here and Matt Benning.  We'll key on that name after Matthew Mayer and Matt Rogers starred for Illinois and American respectively last night.(Lose 6-5............horrible goaltending by Finnish goalies)

CHICAGO BEARS +4.5 over Green Bay Packers-----Bears are streaking at 0-3 ATS but have the home field off 2 road losses and the Revenge vs GB.  I'd feel better if Eddie Jackson were playing,  but he's out.  Luke and Robinson on the defense should get Chicago through though.   Fields,  I guess will have to play,  as Siemian is injured.  Northern Colorado BEARS over Col State yesterday as 15.5 pt underdogs and Brown BEARS over Bryant as 11 pt underdogs the day before that. It has to mean something.(Lose 28-19..........Santos had an FG blocked in the 4th q.   Fields throwing an INT may have cost them the game,  but it didn't have to cost them the cover.  Christian Watson unnecessarily ran a 46 TD.   So this was fucked up.   Didn't know Bears were this weak.)

DETROIT LIONS -1(-115) over Jacksonville Jaguars-----Lions off 10 days rest,  not quite a Bye.  Lions are 4-0 ATS streaking.  OC Ben Johnson should be hot after 2 INTs from Johnson on Michigan.  Both teams are 4-7,  but Lions are 7-4 ATS,  off playing the Bills essentially even.   Jacksonville off the win at home and off the bye vs Ravens,  a very close game.(Win 40-14........St Brown 2 TDs,  Lions +170 yds)

NEW YORK JETS +3(-118) over Minnesota Vikings---------Vikings have no answer for Ty Johnson or HC Robert Saleh and they are weak.(Lose 27-22 Berrios drops the game winning pass)

NORTH CAROLINA +7.5 over Clemson Tigers-----Clemson looking a little weak w/ L's vs South Carolina and Notre Dame.  But with the Brown Bears smashing a double digit line last night,  I like Mack Brown to keep this close enough.(Lose 39-10..........NC was +9 1st downs and outgained them by 1 yard.  But Clemson was +2 TO.  Sick)

ARIZONA STATE SUN DEVILS +4.5 over Colorado Buffalos-----This team is really streaking along here,  at a 4-0 clip.  I'll play 'em.(Win 60-59...........Cambridge 18 pts)

VALPARAISO BEACONS +9 over Belmont Bruins---------No longer the Crusaders;  Valpo is 1-6 ATS.(Lose 76-64)
