Taking the ASTROS. Who would have thought that Chris Sale has a postseason ERA of 7.27. The guy was a beast back in the day. He is not what he was - we know that. This line is priced perfectly. We saw the Rays get Sale for 5 runs in 4 innings last series. Can we also remember this - the guy has pitched 10 games this season. I don't think he is 100%. He is good for 4-5 innings. That is fine with me. Because then we get the Boston bullpen that nearly blew the last 2 games vs the Rays. Astros tonight, and for the series. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON ASTROS 

In Friday College Football action, we are taking SYRACUSE as our FREE PLAY. Why oh why is Clemson favored? This team is scoring 21ppg and giving up 12. Are they finally going to show up and drop a 40 spot on a decent Syracuse defense? Orange are 6-2 ATS last 8 in the series and that was when Clemson was a juggernaut. 19-21-14-3 points. That is what Clemson has scored outside of that 49 spot they drilled into South Carolina. That game is the outlier. Not these other 4. Syracuse is off another tough loss.  They lost at Florida State 33-30 and came back with another heartbreaker 40-37 in OT to Wake. Clemson in off their bye week, and the short week make it a difficult spot for the home team. But if getting pumped for Clemson doesn't motivate you, maybe you shouldn't be playing football. Friday Night FREE PICK on the SYRACUSE ORANGE - Good Luck. Higgs

4* Total Money OVER Western Kentucky/ Old Dominion

Going OVER the total. Now. Pitt at a pk when this game out, give me the Panthers as VT is off a tough ND loss. But this line is now 5 so I would lean home dogs. But total side of things, I am thinking shoot-out. Pitt scores and gives up points. I already grabbed them next week at a +3 as home dogs vs Clemson. Seeing some 1s now. But this is a spot where they might have an eye on the next game. Again. I think we see at least a 60 spot and I really won't be shocked if both teams play in the higher 30s team total wise. 4* Total Money OVER Pitt/ Va Tech 

Taking TEXAS TECH. Alright. Getting trucked giving up 52 to TCU isn't a good look for us. Then remember Texas dropping a 70 bomb 2 weeks prior. But, we look at their other games this year. 20-21-22-21. Now they Kansas. Even off a bye, this is still Kansas. 7-33 (at Duke) - 7 - 22 (at Coastal) -17 (South Dakota). Do the Jayhawks score 20? This isn't an elite or talented offense. Red Raiders get their defensive mojo back here. And the offense should be able to get to the 40pt mark. 4* Money Maker TEXAS TECH 

Taking GEORGIA. Until someone starts scoring off the Bulldogs, we will lay the points.  5 points a game! That is what Georgia is giving up. 4 games in SEC play, 173-23. We can so simple and say Kentucky beat South Carolina 16-10 with a look ahead to Florida. Ok - well Georgia beat them 40-13 and ever team that Georgia faces it's that team's 'Super Bowl, or Natty.' We have been on the Bulldogs multiple times this season with multiple wins. Until someone cracks the defense, we will lay the points. 4* Money Maker GEORGIA BULLDOGS
