TULANE @ CHARLO • Fri 7:00pm

CHARLO +10.5

-110

Spread

Picked: Oct 25 @ 3:37pm

Analysis

Charlotte is not a very good team, but it picked up its first win of the year in its last game, and is home off a bye this week against a Tulane team that's been disappointing.

FLA

-218

Money Line

Picked: Oct 30 @ 3:43am

Analysis

Going to eat this number. Would I prefer -1 but do -1.5? Think you know the answer. The Jets are in the second of a back-to-back and just everything is against them in free-fall. This would be a shocking upset. I think it's fair to say you will see this as a leg in Friday's premium newsletter Parlay of the Day ... but I'll at least throw this out now so you can manipulate how choose. Regulation line is -135 and that'd be absolutely my call. But not in parlay. No reason to take that out. I'm fine solo as no team does the Tampa/South Florida double well. Even good teams. Toughest swing in hockey, Winnipeg is terrible regardless and now on its third-string goalie.

Money Line

Picked: Oct 30 @ 4:28am

Analysis

Getting my plays in early because my wife mentioned something about a lazy river, unlimited cocktails and Arby's for my birthday (don't care about birthdays -- it's not today but soon), and I am absolutely all in for that. Tube and lube and Arby me up! It's not the Circa pool in Vegas but I'll take it -- and considerably cheaper. No, I don't want $65 chicken fingers. AJ Dybansta's home debut for the Wizards and that will bring some rare buzz to the District. The Hornets might be good when Kon Knueppel (by far the "whitest" player in the NBA) and Coby White are healthy but tough to be too competitive when your starting backcourt is out as they still are.

KENTST @ SACST • Fri 10:30pm

SACST +10

-107

Spread

Picked: Oct 27 @ 10:09pm

Analysis

Kent State travels west on a short week for a 10:30 p.m. (ET) kickoff. The Golden Flashes have been outscored by an astonishing 183-12 in four away games. Three opponents were vastly superior to Sac State, but the fourth was a 38-7 setback to Western Michigan. To be sure, the Hornets are a bottom dweller in the FBS hierarchy, yet no way Kent should be spotting double digits this far away from home -- and this late at night.

ARIZ @ TXTECH • Sat 12:00pm

ARIZ +3.5

-112

Spread

Picked: Oct 28 @ 3:29pm

Analysis

Is this a homer pick? Possibly. But after what I saw last week in person against Iowa State, I'm convinced that my Arizona Wildcats are the real deal. This game was a 16-point advance line in August and has moved down to just about a field goal. I have no idea how Texas Tech will respond after being throttled by Cincinnati last week, the same Bearcats team who lost 34-7 to Arizona in Tucson earlier this month. The Wildcats have the second-best passing attack in the Big 12 and a Heisman finalist contender in Noah Fifita. Texas Tech has the third worst pass defense in the Big 12. I smell an upset. Arizona 27, Texas Tech 23.
