Let's stick with the trends that point towards an Under in this Browns-Broncos Saturday night showdown at Sports Authority Field.
Cleveland has played back-to-back Unders, and Unders in 3 of their last 4. The Under has also banked in 5 of the Browns last 9 games, and while their defense has given up some big scores this year, they have done a much better job on that side of the football as they are allowing just over 21 points per game in their last 4, while holding their opponents to 20 points or less in 3 of those 4 games.
Denver comes into this game with 6 Unders in a row played, and 10 Unders posted in their last 12 games this season! The Broncos offense suffered a big hit with the loss of wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders the other week, and his absence contributed to their paltry 14 points output in their loss at San Francisco.
Both Baker Mayfield and Case Keenum have been known to turn it over via the interception, but what if those picks happen to occur when they press the action in trying to get their team in the end-zone? Well, then it becomes that much harder to generate the points needed to get this game into the Over column.
I think this game will not get out of the 30's, and with a total in the mid-40's, safe to say I like the Under on Saturday night.
Cleveland-Denver Under the total.
3* CLEVELAND-DENVER UNDER

My free winner for Saturday is going to be on Southern Mississippi against Wichita State, as I think the Shockers are giving up far too many points in this one. The Golden Eagles are off to their best start through nine games since the 2011-12 season - excluding the vacated seasons of 2012-13, 2013-14 and the first six wins of 2014-15 - and they're playing much better defensively than Wichita State right now.
Tonight begins a six-game road trip for Southern Miss, and it will know how important it is to start things on the right foot, with an important victory.
Wichita State, surprisingly, has been a bit shoddy on defense, allowing 80 points per game away from home. The Shockers also give up 75.8 points per neutral contest. That won't bode well against a Southern Miss team that has scored 68.4 points over its last five outings.
The Golden Eagles have won three in a row, and head into this one with plenty of momentum to thwart anything the Shockers throw their way.
Take the points here, as 9 is far too much to lay to Southern Miss.
1* SOUTHERN MISS

Let's take a gander at some college basketball today, as I'm releasing the Gonzaga Bulldogs over the North Carolina Tar Heels in a monster non-conference clash at Chapel Hill.
Now I realize the Tar Heels are giving up a stifling 68.8 points per home game, but even coach Roy Wiliams has made it clear he doesn't like the way his team has performed defensively. And today they host a team that averages 103 points per true road game.
The Bulldogs are scoring 94.1 points per game this season, and they've scored just 89.6 in their last five, but that 103 points is impressive considering the traveling this team has done, and the schedule it's endured.
No. 4 Gonzaga, which just lost 76-73 to Tennessee, will be looking to avenge its first loss of the season, so motivation won't be hard to come by. And if there is one thing the Zags do best when they're motivated, it's play offense. And seeing that North Carolina allowed fifth-ranked Michigan and Texas to shoot a combined 55 percent, including 22 of 46 (48 percent) from 3-point range, domething tells me the exprienced and athletic Bulldogs are going to light up Dean E. Smith Center.
Gonzaga is the No. 1 team in KenPom's adjusted offensive efficiency, scoring 122.1 points per 100 possessions, and rolls into North Carolina ranked third nationally in D-I statistics by shooting 52.3 percent this season.
The Tar Heels, who are playing the second of just four games in the month of December, won't be able to keep up in this one.
Take Gonzaga here.
4* GONZAGA

NCAA-F | Tulane vs UL-Lafayette
Play on: Tulane -3 -114 at GTBets
Jack’s Free Pick Saturday: Tulane -3
Tulane will be playing in only its second bowl game in the past 16 years. The Green Wave haven’t won a bowl game since 2002. It’s safe to say they are excited to be here playing in the Cure Bowl against Louisiana-Lafayette Saturday.
When you consider how the Green Wave got into a bowl game, you know they’re excited to be here. Let’s just look back to last year when they finished 5-7 and lost to SMU 38-41 in their final game of the season. They were stopped at the SMU 1-yard line as time expired and they didn’t have any timeouts left. They spent all offseason thinking about how close they were to making a bowl.
Then it looked gloomy this season for Tulane after a 2-5 start to the season. However, the Green Wave went 4-1 over their final five games, and the key was Justin McMillan taking over as starting quarterback. He has 13 touchdowns (9 passing, 4 rushing) with only three interceptions during this five-game stretch. And the Green Wave beat Navy in dramatic comeback fashion in the season finale, converting a 2-point conversion in the closing seconds to win 29-28. I have no doubt the Green Wave want to be here and will give an ‘A-plus’ effort.
Louisiana-Lafayette won the weak Sun Belt West Division this season. That afforded them the opportunity to play in the Sun Belt Championship against Appalachian State. They gave a good showing, but lost 19-30. I think they were certainly more motivated in that game against Appalachian State than they will be in this bowl game against Tulane. That was for a championship, this is just for a win.
Tulane has the better defense between these two teams, while Lafayette has the better offense. However, I think the matchup favors Tulane on both sides of the ball. Both teams love to run the football, so stopping the run will be key. Tulane rushes for 208 yards per game, while Louisiana rushes for 229 yards per game. Well, Tulane only gives up 155 rushing yards per game and 4.0 per carry, holding opponents to 50 yards per game and 0.7 per carry less than their season averages (205 YPG, 4.7 YPC). Louisiana gives up 209 rushing yards per game and 5.0 per carry, giving up 27 yards and 0.2 per carry more than their opponents average (182 YPG, 4.8 YPC) on the season.
Tulane head coach Willie Fritz is 12-3 ATS vs. poor rushing defenses that allow 4.75 or more yards per carry in all games he has coached. His teams feast on these poor rushing defenses because of their triple-option scheme on offense. Bet Tulane Saturday.

Stock the refrigerator full of snacks and beer, put the kids to bed, grab your helmet, sit back and relax, because it's time to go BOWLING. Between Saturday, December 15th and Tuesday, January 1st, we have 40 Bowl games to enjoy. The two biggest contests are the Orange and Cotton Bowls, which make up the College Football Playoff. The winner will square off in Santa Clara, California on Monday, January 7th for the National Championship title. Just because some of the earlier matchups don't consist of the big name teams as in the Rose and Sugar Bowls, doesn't make them any less exciting, or give you less of an opportunity to make money. I have winners posted already for the LAS VEGAS and BOCA RATON BOWLS with the FRISCO and BAHAMAS BOWL games up shortly. GET THEM ALL AND GET RICH!$!$!$ Speaking of "smaller" Bowl games, my FREE BOWL WINNER this week is in the NEW MEXICO BOWL.
Take Utah State.

11:00 am pst.
Utah State Head Coach, Matt Wells, the Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year, will be leaving to be the Head Coach of Texas Tech. Though, still running practices and will be on the sideline this game, is not technically in charge. Assistant, Frank Maile is the interim Head Coach. Now on the flipside, reports are, North Texas Head Coach, Seth Litrell is looking for a new position, somewhere. Sports fans, this situation drastically benefits the Aggies, who will look to give the man who brought them success, a big send off. While, the Mean Green players will be distracted, not knowing who will be at the helm next season. North Texas has been point spread poison, covering just once over their last eight outings, including five straight. The Mean Green are a passing offense, but top WR, Rico Bussey JR. (check status), left the last game with a leg injury. Utah State's numbers, on both sides of the ball, rival that of the best in the nation. Offensively, the healthy, well-balanced unit averages over 47.2 PPG, and is equally dangerous in the air (18th), as well as the ground (32nd). Defensively, the Aggies allow just, 23.0 PPG. To further motivate the team, they come off their first loss since Week 1, snapping a ten-game win streak. Utah State is 4-0 ATS the last four vs. non-conference opponents and 9-3 ATS their last 12 overall. Take Utah State. Thank you.

Play on: Kent State +13 -108 at pinnacle
Kent State ATS
The Golden Flashes are worth a flyer on Saturday. Kent State is off to a hot start and with the return of Jaylin Walker, this offense is on quite a roll. The Golden Flashes have rattled off 6 straight wins and Walker has been the fuel to that fire.
Along with that, the pressure has been taken off Senior Guard Jalen Avery, who is putting up 15.2 points per game.
Louisville has played down to their competition this season, which certainly benefits taking the points here.
Back Kent State.
Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Play on: Jets +7 -105 at Bovada
"Ben Burns makes picking winners look like shooting fish in a barrell." Now 7-1 the past two days and an amazing 52-22 his L74, Ben takes a look at today's Texans/Jets game:
Assuming you can get at least +7, I believe that the underdog Jets are well worth a look here. The Texans showed that they were beatable last week, losing againt the Colts. Note that they're just 4-10 ATS their last 14 off a divisional game, 2-4 ATS off a divisional loss. Factoring in last week's loss, the Texans are now 1-8 ATS the past 2+ seasons, in the final four weeks of regular season play.
The Jets have shown some life of late. They lost by four at Tennessee two games ago, before winning outright at Buffalo last week. They're 5-1 ATS their last six as a home underdog in the +3.5 to +7 range. Consider grabbing the points.

NFL | Texans vs Jets
Play on: Texans -7 +120 at 5Dimes
10* FREE NFL PICK (Texans -7)
I’m sure this line is inflated a bit, but there’s just no way I’m risking my hard earned cash on this Jets team. We don’t even know if New York is going to show up for this game. A win here and the Jets will be flirting with not even having a pick in the Top 10.
Even if the Jets lay it all on the line in this game, there’s still a decent chance they lose by double-digits. Houston is the far superior team and I have to believe the Texans know just how important this game is. Nothing is a sure thing in the NFL and a loss this week and the pressure will really start to mount. I expect this team to be 100% locked in and that should be more than enough for them to cover this spread.
I’ve got major concerns for Jets’ rookie quarterback Sam Darnold. I get the feeling he might be one of those guys who has all the things scouts look for in the physical attributes of a quarterback, but not the smarts to be a top notch signal caller in the NFL. He’s thrown 15 interceptions with 8 of those coming in his last 4 starts. He’s also completing just 55.9% of his attempts and only putting up 6.72 yards/pass attempt. He’s not going to have leading rusher (Isaiah Crowell) or leading recover (Quincy Enunwa), as both are out for this game.
I just think with the talent the Texans have on the defensive side of the ball, most notably J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney, it’s pretty much a guarantee that Darnold makes a costly mistake. I also don’t think he’s capable of leading this team back if things were to spiral out of control early.
Houston hasn’t disappointed in this spot of late, as they are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games against a team with a losing home record. Jets on the other hand are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 off a win and 0-4 ATS in their last vs a team with a winning record. Give me the Texans -7!

I like fading triple-option teams in bowl games. Opponents getting extra time to prepare for triple-option teams is huge because they don’t get to face them often unless they are military schools. And you also have to consider that Eastern Michigan has already faced a triple-option team in Army, so they will have some experience to fall back on, making their preparation easier. I was impressed with how well the Eagles defended Army. They gave up just under 4 yards per carry on a whopping 73 carries for Army in that game. Eastern Michigan hasn’t won a bowl game since 1987, so they want to end that bowl drought in a bad way. They’ve only been to two bowls in school history and fell just one win shy last year. They want to be here. They have a good defense that gives up only 22.0 points per game and are outgaining teams by nearly 25 yards per game on the season. They’ve played a tougher schedule than Georgia Southern, which has actually been outgained by 18 yards per game on the season. Give me Eastern Michigan.

1* Free Pick on North Carolina -2
I like the Tar Heels to come away with a huge win at home against the Bulldogs. These two teams last met in the National Championship Game a couple years ago. For North Carolina, this is their shot at showing they need to be taken seriously and a chance to right the ship after a recent poor showing against a top caliber opponent.
On Nov. 28th the Tar Heels went to Ann Arbor and got annihilated by Michigan 84-67. A loss that I think is definitely playing into this line and why the public is on the Bulldogs. I think that was just a bad day for UNC on the road in a very tough environment. This time they are the ones playing at home and it's going to be electric at the Dean Smith Center for this prime time tip-off.
Tar Heels have covered 19 of their last 27 home games overall. They are 14-5 ATS last 19 at home after a win and 8-1 ATS when that win was by 15 points or more (beat UNC-Wilmington by 28). UNC is also a perfect 7-0 ATS in their last 7 home games when playing an elite team that's won more than 80% of their games. Take North Carolina!

Play on: UNDER 46 -102
Dave’s Saturday Free Play:
1* on Browns/Broncos UNDER 46
The Key: The Denver Broncos have been the best UNDER team in the NFL this season. They have gone 10-3 to the UNDER in their 13 games. And they’ve become even more of an UNDER team now that they traded away Demaryius Thomas, and then lost Emmanuel Sanders to a season-ending injury prior to the 49ers game last week. They managed just 14 points against a bad 49ers defense. But the Broncos are showing that their defense is still one of the best units in the NFL. They have given up 23 or fewer points in 7 of their last 8 games overall. They are yielding only 17.6 PPG in their last 5 games. And the Browns will struggle to move the football on this defense. Cleveland has allowed 20 or fewer points in 3 of their last 4 games, so they are playing well on defense too. This total really seems too high. Denver is 9-1 UNDER in all games played on a grass field this season. The Broncos are 8-0 UNDER vs. good offensive teams that average at least 5.65 yards per play this season. The UNDER is 38-11-2 in Browns last 51 December games. Take the UNDER.

#NFL FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN
The Denver Broncos are in the battle for the sixth and final seed in the AFC playoffs, but their postseason aspirations took a big hit with a 20-14 loss at San Francisco last week.
I think the Broncos are in for another tough matchup when hosting the Cleveland Browns Saturday evening.
The Browns will not make it to the playoffs (bar a miracle), but that doesn't mean that that they've stopped competing. This is a Cleveland team eager to figure out how to win again after being everyone's punching bag for so long, and it's doing quite well with three wins through its last four games.
Broncos are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games following a straight up loss and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games in December.
Free pick on Cleveland Browns.

NCAA-B | Cincinnati vs Mississippi State
Play on: Cincinnati +4 -108 at pinnacle
The Mississippi State Bulldogs are known as an explosive offensive dynamo with hot 3 point shooters . They can really rack points up in a hurry, but their D, is not to be underestimated ranking 25th in adjusted efficiency ratings. Meanwhile, Cincinnati is a physical tough rebounding team that leave opponents bruised and battered after meeting them. Their D is what stands out as extraordinary. No team has scored more than 65 points on the Bearcats in their 9 games, allowing opponents to a just 56.4 ppg. Both teams have not faced many strong teams.
Cincinnati did play Ohio State in their opener and lost 64-56.Cincinnati's two most notable victories are against Ole Miss (59th in adjusted efficiency margin) and Xavier (60th), with the rest of their wins coming against teams outside the top 100. Meanwhile, Miss State has not faced much better competition, ranking 226th in strength of schedule by KenPom’s estimations. Last season when these programs met, they're were some different faces in the lineup, but the Bearcats won that game 65-50 at home ,and dealt well with the Bulldogs run and gun style of play . What Im betting on here today is that , this will be a physical affair, and that it will be won in the trenches ( under the basket, and in the paint and at the charity stripe. That is where the Bearcats have a slight edge according to my projections and get my backing here to cover the number. Its difficult to win on the road at an SEC school, but the Bearcats should throw a scare into the Bulldogs. Win or lose here , Im betting this score is close enough for the points to be golden.
Take the points with Cincinnati Bearcats to cover

My money is on Middle Tennessee as a touchdown dog against the Mountaineers. I think Appalachian State is way overpriced in this game. They lost their head coach Scott Satterfield to Louisville. More times than not, teams who lose their head coach don't play up to their potential in bowl games, as there's just too many distractions going on. I also think it would have been tough for the Mountaineers to win here by more than a touchdown had Satterfield not left. Middle Tennessee is a good team. While they finished 8-5, they had 3 losses on the road to SEC teams, all of which made a bowl. An outright win is not out of the question for the Blue Raiders. Bet Middle Tennessee +7!
