13 units of profit handed out last Sunday alone. Went 5-2 ATS which brings us to a record of 28-24-2. I have a huge slate of action for tonight and Sunday as those of you who listened to last nights show are well aware of. Let's get to the action, I will start off with the Thanksgiving Day games we have on tap for today.
Patriots -7 Pats seeking the best record in the NFL here, the Lions have been dreadful on Turkey Day over the last few years. While they have improved they just won't have the weapons to stay in this game the whole way. The Pats have supplemented their erratic defense by creating turnovers, look for that trend to continue, the Pats take it by 10.
4 units. Win.
Jets -9 I think this is the first time I have taken the Jets this year. They have had some close games the last three weeks against teams who are improving. The Bengals however are not improving, coming in a 2-8 they are little more than just showing up to the game. Palmer is hurt but will play we will see how the foot injury impacts his passing game. T.O. has been running his mouth about Revis so that might give the Jets a little motivation to make an example of Cincy.
2 units. Win.
Buccaneers +8 The surprise Bucs head to Baltimore to play the Ravens. I like the Bucs to cover the 8 here as Freeman has played well and Baltimore has had trouble with big point spreads this season. The Ravens might not of covered last week were it not for two late interceptions of St. Pierre for Ravens touchdowns. The Ravens get it done but t will be closer than you think.
1 unit. Win.
Rams +4 I have been on the Rams all year with the exception of last week. They are a solid squad and Bradford should fare well against the Broncos D. I know the Rams aren't quite road warriors but Denver shouldn't really be laying more than 2 here. The Broncos are still getting credit for their blowout win over KC, how long is Vegas gonna ride that scooter?
2 units.
Eagles -3 The Eagles need to play a good game here as they looked like garbage last week and were fortunate enough to win over the Giants. I think the Bears are a solid squad, but much like my Falcons they lack any kind of consistency on the offensive side of the ball and laying points with Jay Cutler scares me as he was less than impressive against the Dolphins last week, that's saying alot with Miami's meager secondary play. The Bears defense is nasty as usual and generates points for them, the way to stop that is to not turn the ball over. Vick and company need a solid outing here to stand out in the NFC.
2 units. Loss.
Packers +2 Aaron Rodgers getting points? Sign me up for 5 units please. As discussed earlier the Falcons are hit and miss and the Packers are getting healthy. Ryan is hard to beat at home yes, but Atlanta has had some ugly home wins this season. I don't like them in this spot and Vegas thinks the Packers are better or the spread would have been +3.
5 units. Loss.
Jaguars +8 I haven't been a fan of the Jags, but they seem to be more and more stable as the weeks go by. Garrard has been playing well and MJD has been finding the endzone as of late. The Giants on the other hand have a beat up O-line and have struggled mightily in the red zone as evident by last weeks game with Philly. Eli has some problems at WR with his two work horses out in Nicks and Smith. Its just too many points for the Giants to cover.
3 units. Win.
Chargers +3 I love this game, San Diego is getting into mid season form and rolling over opponents, Rivers is in a dog fight with Rodgers for the MVP and Vincent Jackson will be back. Who knows how productive he will be but he still has to be accounted for. Also Malcolm Floyd has returned to the line up. Mike Tolbert from........................? Coastal Carolina has been picking up the slack in the running game well. Manning just doesn't have the weapons right now and his numbers reflect that, the Colts still lack a running game and also struggle to stop the run. I like the Chargers outright.
4 units.
There you go 8 games to give you the ability to transform into a cash business yourself. After this slate you will be able to do your Christmas shopping and leave your credit cards at home. Write that down!

NCAA Week #13 Pick 'em
Less than impressive on Saturday going 2-3, bringing us to 29-25 on the season that's the wrong answer. So lets get a 5-0 Saturday going here. Lets see what I have. The Vegas Takedown Show will be tomorrow night at 9:00 PM as the Game Theory offices will be locked down for Thanksgiving Day celebration. We will have our own Black weekend thanks to the money we will make off my picks for Saturday and Sunday.
Texas A&M -3 Simply put its put up or shut up time for the Aggies, coming off an impressive defensive performance against the Huskers at home its time for rival Texas. A&M needs this game for many reasons. I like them to cover the 3 on the road. Win.
Ohio -3 I don't like betting on MAC teams but the Bobcats aren't half bad and are playing for a MAC championship. The Bobcats are averaging 33 PPG and Kent State has been less than impressive, lets go with the hot team. Loss.
Boise State -14 Nevada is garbage and I hate them. The Broncos will take them apart with ease. I'm not buying into the ESPN hype on this game, it will be a blowout fest by halftime. Loss.
TCU -44 Not quite sure how New Mexico will score in this contest. Last chance for TCU to stay ahead of Boise, and being they are playing the 1-10 Lobos the Frogs need to crush their souls or the Broncos might Leap frog them, pun intended. Write that down. Win.
Auburn +5 The Tigers offense can score points and Auburn loves to cover. This win would solidify Cam Newtons Heisman and Bama's defense has been un-TIDE-y, pause for affect. I think the Tigers offense is good enough to stay within 5. Win.
There you have it, I have 8 NFL games on the money making slate this weekend as well. Look for them to be posted tomorrow night or tune into my radio show at 9:00PM to get them live only at www.blogtalkradio.com/gametheory see you when I see you.

NFL Week #11
Lagging behind with my picks, but I have a big slate of action for Sunday so lets get to the money making shall we?
Eagles -3 The G'men come limping into the Linc for a road tilt. Simply put the Giants are too beat up on the O-line and the Eagles and Vick are on fire.
5 units. Win.
Ravens -11 Brian St. Pierre from? Exactly who is this guy. I don't like laying this many points but I don't know how the Panthers will score, this team is bad. Ravens need a win to keep a leg up on Pittsburgh.
4 units. Win.
Packers -3 This was a close game in Lambeau, not so much this time. The Packers are getting healthy and coming off a bye. The Vikings are done and will put on a show early but will fold up shop in the second half.
4 units. Win.
Bills +6 Bills are fresh off a win and the Bengals have stopped playing football. I like the Bills to keep this one within a FG.
2 units. Win.
Browns +2 This is the first team that Colt Mccoy has faced that wasn't in the playoffs last season. I like Mccoy to get it done against the Jags using Hillis and defense for the outright win.
3 units. Loss.
Seahawks +12 The Seahawks are iffy on the road, but Brees has had turnover issues this year. The Saints get Reggie Bush back this week but this is just too many points Seahawks keep it within 12.
2 units. Loss.
Falcons -3 I rarely bet on my team, but if Atlanta wants to prove that they are an upper crust squad they need to put away the upstart Rams on the road. Ryan isn't the best on the the road but he is good in a dome, I like the Falcons to cover.
2 units. Win.
There you have it, 6 money makers to cash out on enjoy. I should have my picks up on Thursday next week, been really busy this week, so bare with me money fans.
Eagles -3 The G'men come limping into the Linc for a road tilt. Simply put the Giants are too beat up on the O-line and the Eagles and Vick are on fire.

NFL Week #10 Pick 'em
Running a little behind with the NFL picks this week but if you listened to the show on Thursday night you will already know my NFL picks and have received my breakdowns on all the games. I went 4-0-1 last Sunday so that brings me to 20-19-2 on the NFL season so we are back over .500 which means I am making you money. Lets get to the picks I like some games alot this week and here they are.
Bengals +7 Palmer and T.O. have a good thing going. Jordan Shipley and Grisham are showing up to the party as well. Benson should have a solid outing as Indy is weak against the run. Colts win, but this is a great match up for Cincy and our bank accounts.
4 units. Win.
Rams +6 I have been on the Rams all season and they have delivered for me. The 49ers shouldn't be favored against anyone, not even the Bills. Coming off a bye Jackson and Bradford will have a nice game. The Rams young but talented D will guarantee a bad day for Troy Smith. Rams outright.
2 units. Win.
Giants -14 Big Blue has turned the corner, the Cowboys are awful and their new coach Jason Garrett hasn't endeared himself to his new troops by making them practice in full pads all week. Giants win in a blowout.
4 units. Loss.
Titans -1 Randy Moss will make his presence felt and stretch the field for Chris Johnson and VY, the Dolphins secondary isn't having a good year and I don't see Chad Pennington leading this team to a win over an underrated Titans squad.
2 units. Loss.
Texans +1 I'm not buying the Jags, even at home. Schaub needs to have a good game against a very pedestrian Jags secondary. Conference game here and the Texans need to show some signs of life. Foster needs to be a factor for Houston to get the win.
1 unit. Loss.
Patriots +5 The Hoodie doesn't lose back to back games and the Steelers D is showing some cracks as of late, I like the points here and the fact that Tom Brady and Belichek don't lose back to back games.
3 units. Win.
There you go money fans, 6 winners for you cash addiction fix. See you next week.

NCAA Week #11 Pick 'em
Another 4-1 Saturday last week, that brings us to 25-19-3 on the season. That's pure profit at more than 6 units. I like money and if you are reading this than you do too. I'm going to be drawing down on the game write ups for the blog as traffic is down and ratings on my radio show are up 20% from last week so I will be focusing more of my energy and what little time I have on the show. Be sure and tune in tomorrow night at 9PM and listen in as me give you are picks for this weekend. I will also give more in depth analysis of my picks on the air, catch it at www.blogtalkradio.com/gametheory now to the picks.
Boise State -35 The Broncos are up against it and facing in state rival Idaho Friday night. Idaho got parade rested by Hawaii recently and the Broncos midget tossed the Warriors last week. The Vandals are a sive on defense and their offense has taken multiple 30" steps backwards. Boise State needs a blowout victory to hedge against falling further out of favor with the all powerful BCS computer. Broncos huge.
2 units.Win.
USC +4 The Trojans have been playing some good football as of late. Matt Barkley has been lighting it up and the D has stepped up as well, Zona has a solid record but hates to cover. Simply put I like the Trojans to keep it within 3.
1 unit. Win.
Oregon -20 Cal is dumpster fire, granted they are slightly better at home but that being said the Ducks have Auburn and TCU breathing down their necks and will have to put on a good show against a crap team. The Ducks will be away from Autzen but they have played well in hostile stadiums this year, for example a couple of weeks ago at USC. Ducks by 24.
2 units. Loss.
Utah -6 The Utes will be looking to bounce back against the hapless Irish. I think we are getting some value here of about 3 points. Taking into consideration that TCU skulldrug Utah last week and Notre Dame is always overvalued due to the public loving them and the fact that they are media darlings. The Utes get back on track here.
1 unit. Loss.
Stanford -5 Andrew Luck and the Whalen brothers come into town to play the Sun Devils. Arizona State has been up and down this year while the Cardinal continues to roll along in their season suffering only 1 loss to the mighty Ducks. Luck and Stanford's physical play will wear the Sun Devils down and we will cover. Loss.
There you have it, NFL picks will be up tomorrow as I have a few multiple unit plays, until that time.

Week #9 NFL Pick 'em
Couple nice games we can jump on this Sunday, I had a dismal 3-2 performance last Sunday. It didn't make me very happy. I need perfection or close to this weekend. Tune into the show tonight at 9:00 PM EST, The Vegas Takedown Show can only be heard at www.blogtalkradio.com/gametheory Lets see whats on the money train before we rob it shall we?
Colts +3 Peyton Manning as a dog I like it, sign me up. Vick, Jackson and Mccoy will be a little rusty due to injuries and the Eagles defense can't stop the unrelenting barrage of Colts weaponry. I like the Colts to win outright.
4 units.
Bills +3 Our neighbors to the north get to take in our finest export as the Bears and Bills will play in Toronto. The Bills will get their first win of the season they have been playing everyone tough since Fitzpatrick has taken over the offense. Martz will not use his running backs and will no doubt leave Cutler in a bad spot against an improved Bills pass rush. Buffalo's secondary has been playing better as of late too. The Bears offensive line can't pass protect and Cutler will be getting hit alot.
2 units. Push.
Browns +6 The Pats own the best record in the league and I think this will be a look ahead game for them as the Browns come to Foxboro. The Browns have been playing hard behind Colt Mccoy and Peyton Hillis had a week off the get some rest and heal up. The Browns will stay in this game, Pats win by 2.
2 units. Win.
Cardinals +9 The Vikings season is all but done, they have waaaaay too many issues to get up for a crap Cards squad led by Derek Anderson. 9 points is too much in this spot. Vikings should squeak this game out but not by 9.
3 units. Win.
Chargers -3 I am taking the Bolts as a road favorite. Phillip Rivers is my pick for NFL MVP write that down. The Texans are garbage and will not be able to stop Rivers he should easily put up 400 yards passing in this contest. Rivers will be getting some of his weapons back and the Chargers running game is starting to get on track. Chargers by 5.
2 units. Win.
There you have it folks, tune in tonight for some more in depth analysis on my picks. See you then.

NCAA Week 10 Pick 'em
I had a 4-1 weekend that puts us at 21-18-3. I wanted 5-0 but Utah decided to not kick a 30 yard field goal to go up 8 with 3 minutes left after giving up 18 points in the 4th quarter. Awesome. I am looking for another strong week to try and pad my stats. Don't forget to tune into The Vegas Takedown Show this Friday night only at www.blogtalkradio.com/gametheory unless you don't like money. Why pay for losing picks when you can get free winners here.
UCF -2 The Go;den Knights travel to Houston to play the Cougars without Case Keenum. UCF has been crushing conference opponents and have a solid defense and offense. I was pleased with their road performance a few weeks ago against a solid K State team in Manhattan. It was a losing effort, but the defense played extremely well in a hostile Big 12 environment. If the Knights can shut down Thomas and Coffman they can tune the Cougs out too.
2 units. Win.
N.C. State +4 The Wolfpack need this game as a follow up to their big win against FSU, another conference came on the road against Clemson. Clemson was just beat down by BC and their stagnant offense, I like the 4 points and the Wolfpack to pull out the win.
2 units. Win.
Oregon -35 The Ducks are back in the friendly confines of Autzen this Saturday as they take on the Huskies. Jake Locker is beat up and having a poor season and this Husky team is headed the wrong way. The Ducks need to keep making the case that they are the number 1 team in the land and will need to blow the doors off of a bad Huskies team in order to impress the almighty Oracle that is a computer. Don't let me down Ducks. Oregon's offense is just too potent and the Huskies can't find the end zone. The Ducks could be covering by halftime.
2 units. Win.
Oklahoma -3 I don't quite get this spread, the Aggies defense has been unimpressive and the offense is too streaky. Oklahoma can't afford another loss so they should be bringing their A game. Unless I am missing something the Sooners look like the right side. The Sooners do tend to struggle ATS wise on the road as of late, but I think we are getting some value here as a result, their fans travel well and should have a good turnout at Kyle Field.
1 unit. Loss.
Temple -3 On the road at Kent State, Al Golden's team hasn't given up a single point in two games. The Penn State heir apparent really has his kids dialed in and hopefully they will dial up Vegas and tell them to release payment to myself after the game, the Owls get it done on the road.
2 units. Win.
There you have it money lovers enjoy!
