Louisville out-gained Virginia 478 to 368 yet lost 31-17.  3-2 turnover ratio and the fact that they are named Louisville hurt them.

Jaymycal Hasty RB – Broken Collarbone and out for the fantasy season.

Waiver Wire:

Jameis Winston QB – for the Breese injury.

Taysom Hill QB – Will get more action at QB and all positions for the Saints.

NFL Week 10 Free Plays, Teaser and Parlay

San Francisco vs New Orleans -9.5 O/U 50.5 – 

Lots of people might be fading the Saints here after pounding the Tampa Bay Buccanears but it sure won’t be me.  This spread went from 9 to 9.5 for a reason and it is due to the 49ers being a shell of themselves without their top guys.   This team doesn’t have any pass rush whatsoever and they really do not have any weapons to go to with Kittle being out.   Nick Mullens QBR is a dismal 38.6 which is in the range of a Dwayne Haskins and a Sam Darnold.   The Saints are finally getting healthy and their defense ranks number 2 against the run.  The 49ers will only have the run with so much talent out on offense.   The last thing for this handicap is that this Saints team was a little shocked last year when San Fransisco came into Mercedez Benz Superdome and hung 48 points on them.  Don’t think that Sean Payton doesn’t hold a grudge here.   Taking the saints -9.5

Saints -9.5 – 2 star premium shared

Tampa Bay vs Carolina +4.5 O/U 50.5 – 

Tampa Bay was exposed last game against the Saints and I think that Vita Vea injury has gotten to them.   It was a windy day yet Drew Breese and company had a field day against this defense.   Now Carolina’s defense isn’t great themselves ranking 17th in allowing 5.7 yards per play with Tampa ranking 3rd at 4.9 yards per play  but Carolina’s offense is good averaging 6.0 yards per play to Tampa’s 5.5.  I think Tom Brady and the Bucs are disappointed in their performance last game and they will play well, but Carolina played very well at Kansas City last week which will help them prepare for this team.   They also played Tampa losing 31-17 on the road making this a sort of revenge spot.   The Panthers play tough wherever they go and I think this number is too high at 6 and should be more around 3.5.

Carolina +4.5 – 1.5 star premium shared and sprinkle

Houston vs Cleveland -3 O/U 54

This one is a spot play for me.   I have the spread about Cleveland -3.3 holding everything the same but the fact that Cleveland is coming off of a bye week is where the upgrade comes in.   Cleveland has had a lot of time to figure out how to face DeShawn Watson and the Browns secondary has gotten healthier.   Nick Chubb should be back for this team as well giving them some explosive play potential.  Cleveland needs this win here because they have taken a lot of criticism as of late.   Houston’s defense ranks 3rd worse in total yards allowed at 417 per game.   Ralph Michaels from Wagertalk ran a few numbers for me looking at this situaton.  Over the last 5 years teams on the road after a road win are only 46.6% ATS.  an Away dog off of an away in are a better 48.1% ATS but an away team after an away win facing a team off of a bye week is only 41.2% ATS.   Advantage Cleveland.  I think the Browns have some upside here.

Cleveland -3 – 2 star premium shared

Refuse To Lose teaser:  We are now 6-3 with this teaser:  Baltimore to -1 with the Bills to 

Bow to the Gambling Gods Parlay 2-5 so far this year.  This one pays about 10-1:  NCAA ATS – East Carolina +27.5-113, NCAA ML: Tulane -5-108, NC State -345, USC -614, Nevada -928, San Jose State -735, NFL: New Orleans Saints -443, Baltimore Ravens -328

USC vs Arizona +14 O/U 67.5 –

USC really got a scare against ASU and could have lost that game ASU got into field goal range.   I think that they walk into this game vs Arizona trying to make more of a comfortable game.   There is no better opponent for USC to face than a Kevin Sumlin led Arizona team that has a ton of new faces .  Sumlin to me is one of the worst coaches in college football and to add to that, Arizona allowed 6.4 yards per place last year and I can’t see any initial improvement there.   This team ranked 120th out of 130 teams allowing 471 yards per game.   On offense, Grant Gunnell comes back who was 14-11 TD to turnover ratio and 60% passing success.  He loses 3 out of 4 skill positions to start the 2020 season.   Last week their game vs Utah was cancelled due to Covid so they are really thrown off here having to go face the top ranked team in the Pac 12 right off of that bat.  My power ratings have USC an 18 point favorite here and I think they win this one comfortably.

USC -14 – 2 star premium shared

Florida State vs NC State -9.5 O/U 60 – 

A couple of things stand out to me this game.  First of all, this spread seems kinda low and maybe it’s because NC State has been playing with their backup quarterback.   Well looking at their backup Baily Hockman, he has been serviceable so far and played quite well vs Miami last week.   He helped beat Duke by double digits a few weeks back as well.  Florida State’s quarterback Jordan Travis has been pretty bad with a 4-5 TD to interception ratio at only 52% completion percentage.  He is also questionable to even play this week.  The biggest thing for me here is that although NC State is -.2 yard per play, Florida State is a -1.6 yards per play and it doesn’t look like that will improve any time soon.  The Seminoles have played 3 away game they have lost all of them by more than 2 touchdowns.  Gonna take the Wolfpack here to cover the 7.

NC State -9.5 – 3 star premium shared 

Listener Request Zack Dean – Army vs Tulane -4 O/U 48 – 

This spread stuck right out to me like a sore thumb when I saw it.  I waited in hopes that it would go down closer to 3 but when it literally didn’t move, I realized I better hit this early.  Tulane has been improving throughout the year.  They took care of East Carolina on the road last week and have really figured out their offense.  Their only weakness is on defense against the pass but they should not have to worry about that when facing a triple option team like Army.  Ya see, Tulane already faced an option team this year in Navy and they completely shut down the option for the first half of the game.  During the second half, Navy switched quarterbacks and ended up beating Tulane but it was through the air that made that happen.  Tulane has a fantastic rushing defense only allows 3.04 rushing yards per per play and I expect much of the same against their second option opponent this year.  I think Army gets stuffed and this is definitely my favorite play of the week.

Tulane -4 – 3.5 star premium shared play –
