My Life on the Line
Scottie Scheffler to WIN (+620, 1.5 units) – Three weeks ago, the world number one came within an inch of winning The Travelers and settled for his 4th solo 2nd of the year. He missed the cut last week at The Genesis Scottish Open but that was nothing more than a tuneup for this week’s major, and he may have benefitted by the missed cut with more practice time at Royal Birkdale. The +620 odds –…
Scottie Scheffler to WIN +455: 1st, T-3rd, T-4th, T-12th, T-24th, T-22nd, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, T-14th, 3rd and T-12th. Those are Scottie Scheffler’s finishes in 2026. Every other golfer on Earth would kill for those results, except Scottie has set the bar so high, any year without multiple wins and major championships is a “disappointment”. At the Masters in April, Scottie became the first golfer since…
THOUGHTS on Scottie Scheffler: The world’s number #1 ranked golfer and two-time Masters champ has struggled – by HIS standards - over his most recent 3 PGA Tour events. After 19 consecutive Top 10s in PGA events, he failed to make the Top 10 at The Genesis, the Arnold Palmer and The Players. Even if you go back to Waste Management in early February, his game was beginning to show cracks in the…
In a matchup of 2 teams who have NEVER won a National Championship, Houston will beat Purdue to win the 2026 Men's Basketball Title on Monday, April 6th, 2026 in Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.
"I am Sam. I am Sam. Sam I am…..I do not like Green Eggs and Ham. I do not like Sam Darnold…Sam-I-Am!!!!” Patriots +4.5 vs Seahawks - UNDER 45.5 – Sam Darnold led the league in turnovers this season with 20 (14 interceptions and 6 fumbles). In his last 3 games he has had zero turnovers, but during that stretch he faced a depleted 49ers defense TWICE and a bad Rams defense that allowed 28 points…
Patriots -3.5 at Broncos – A lot of sharps are on Denver plus points in this one, but the more I thought about this game, the more I like New England. Jarrett Stidham is a career backup who has not thrown a pass since 2023 and has never thrown a pass in a meaningful game that resulted in his team winning. Yes the Broncos – counting last week against Buffalo – have won 11 straight games decided by…
“We’re in the air, we’re on the ground….always in control, And when you say the Oilers (Texans), you’re talking Super Bowl ‘Cause we’re the Houston Oilers (Texans), Houston Oilers (Texans), Houston Oilers (Texans), Number One” Since Kaylee Norton showed up on November 9th, Braxton Berrios and the Texans have won 10 straight. Texans +3.0 at Patriots – On November 9 th the Houston Texans had a…
"Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly" - John F. Kennedy Panthers +10.5 vs Rams – The Rams get Davante Adams back from the hamstring injury and have the 2 nd best odds (+425) to win the Super Bowl. Sean McVay is one of the best coaches in the league and Stafford may win the league MVP. They have good team chemistry, know that the Super Bowl is in California and get to kick things…
Ravens -4.5 at Steelers – Baltimore has been left for dead multiple times this year – after the 1-5 start, after the loss at home to Cincy on Thanksgiving and after the close loss on SNF a few weeks ago to New England. All the Steelers had to do to deliver the final dagger to the Ravens season was beat Cleveland last week, and they couldn’t do it. Derrick Henry, Keaton Mitchell and the Ravens…
Ravens +3.0 at Packers – Green Bay clinched a playoff appearance with the Lion’s loss on Christmas. Packers are emotionally drained from the last 4 games, and really have nothing to play for, and they just need to get out of this one healthy. The Ravens need a win to have any shot at the playoffs. The last time the Ravens were on the road, they pitched a shutout in Cincinnati - I think the Ravens…
Lions -7.0 vs Steelers – The Lions playoff hopes depend on a win – they are at home - and the high-powered offense will take advantage of the Steelers defense (still without TJ). The Steelers still control their destiny even if they lose their next two games. Ravens -3.0 vs Patriots – A must-win game for the Ravens, and they will have extra incentive assuming the Lions simply beat the Steelers.…
Bears -7.5 vs Browns – Chicago has won 9 of their last 11 straight up and are facing a Browns team with two key starters OUT on the offensive line, and a Browns team that just lost at home to the Titans. The Bears are healthy for the most part, and this game sets up to be a blowout. Lions +6.0 at Rams – Detroit is as potent on offense as any team in the league, and even with the injuries in their…
Jag uar s +2.5 vs Colts - Daniel Jones still has the leg issue and the Jags appear to have turned the corner . Chiefs -3.5 vs Texans - I’m still not sold on CJ Stroud and that Texans offense. Yes, KC has o-line health issues but they have won 5 straight at home. I like the Chiefs even more in this spot if the Jags beat the Colts. Eagles -1.5 at Chargers - Philly is not losing 3 in a row. The…
Steelers +3.0 vs Bills – The NFL is a war of attrition. Both of Buffalo’s starting offensive tackles are OUT. They already have sustained key injuries on D (Ed Oliver – out for season). I lean more to the side that Buffalo is in free fall than on the mend. Pittsburgh can take total control of the AFC North with a win. I trust TJ Watt against a suspect O-Line more than I trust the Bills D on the…
Patriots -7.5 at Bengals – Chase is OUT on offense for Cincy. Hendrickson is OUT on defense for Cincy. Flacco looked like the early season version of Flacco in last week’s 34-12 loss in Pittsburgh – a game in which the Steelers scored two defensive touchdowns. The Patriots so far may have played a very weak schedule, but they tend to beat up weak opponents. Cowboys +3.0 vs Eagles – This is the…
Bengals +5.5 at Steelers – Pitt has 2 starting linebackers OUT, and it’s a dicey situation also with their banged up secondary, especially with Chase and Higgins coming to town. The Bengals are coming off a bye week, and should have no trouble whatsoever scoring on the Steeler D. Since Flacco took over 4 games ago, the Bengals are averaging nearly 33 points per game. The Steelers offense…
Panthers -5.5 vs Saints: Saints offense has scored 13 points combined in their last 2 games and they just traded away their top WR this week to Seattle. On top of that, they have offensive line issues, and are playing a Panthers D that held the Packers to 13 points in Lambeau last week. The Panthers are 3-0 at home this season in games started by Bryce Young, and he is under center this week.…
Lions -8.5 vs Vikings – Lions are coming off a bye week after an impressive MNF win against Tampa. DT Alim McNeill made his season debut against the Bucs, and the Lions D, even though thin in the secondary for that game, held Tampa to 9 points. The Lions enter this game for the most part healthy, while both offensive tackles are questionable for the Vikings, who got annihilated last Thursday…
Broncos -3.5 vs Cowboys: Coach Payton Company finally look like they have the offense clicking after the 33 point 4 th quarter outburst last week. The Cowboys are beat up in the secondary, and the last time they went on the road it didn’t end well for them. I know the Cowboys offense has played well this year, but it takes both sides of the ball. Denver wins by double digits. Saints +4.5 vs Bucs:…
Colts +1.5 at Chargers – A lot of money has been made fading the Chargers the last 3 weeks, who are 0-3 ATS and 1-2 SU during this span. They still have a patchwork offensive line and are still extremely thin at running back. The Colts have done a really good job beating the mediocre to bad teams, and with all the injuries, the Chargers should fit into that category. Falcons +1.5 at 49ers - Penix…
