Las Vegas - Always gotta be careful when GOBS of money floods in on a game, and this is one of those spots. Seattle opened up at -2/-2.5/-3 depending on where you shop, but the Washington Football Team has attracted a TON of cash, and is now a -1 point favorite. Why? It's certainly NOT the 4-6 straight up record, the UGLY 3-7 mark against the spread, or, the 1-4 record at home in D.C. My guess is, it's all about Russell Wilson's THUMB!

Las Vegas - Rolling out to Indy and looking at the Colts +3 points over the Bucs. Always tough to go against Tom Brady, but Indianapolis has a chance to rock this party. Did a deep dive on Tampa's schedule this season, and a couple of things jumped off the page. TB12 and his crew are OH & THREE against the spread vs. teams with winning records (Cowboys, Rams, Patriots). The Bucs are OH & FIVE against the spread on the road so far.

Las Vegas - High noon in Ann Arbor for the entire ball of wax. A win for Ohio State and the Buckeyes go to Indy next week to battle for the Big Ten title (either Wisconsin or Iowa). Then on to the College Football Playoffs. A loss and they're GONZO! But it AIN'T gonna be a loss. The Buckeyes lead the world in scoring (47.2 ppg), total offense (559.9 ypg) and TDs (67). They have a QB, C.J. Stroud, who is the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy. Why?

Las Vegas - LOVE the Air Force. My Dad was Air Force in WWII. But MINUS 18 points over UNLV. UH UH! We picked up a nice little bundle of cash last Friday when the Rebels played a very good San Diego State team and covered a +11 point spread in a 28-20 loss. Despite an ugly 2-9 overall record, Vegas has been a YUGE money-maker, covering three in a row and six of the last eight. The Force is humming at 8-3 overall and should post the W, but asking the Falcons to win by 18 is a stretch.

Las Vegas - Gonna take a look at the late game and try the Bills over the Saints. Will have gobbled up some Turkey skin, mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts and stuffing. If you have not tried Mrs. Ecks & Bacon's stuffing, it has TWO MICHELIN STARS. Will wait until halftime of the game to hit some cherry pie with a giant mug of Intelligentsia coffee, and, three fingers of Baileys Irish Cream. Oh yea, lemme stop dreaming and give you some whys.
