Two teams that are moving up as far as where their ceilings are for expectations for this year face off in an NFC South matchup. Tampa Bay fans can now legit start to ask what’s the difference between the Goat and Mayfield? Because with the guys they still have at receiver they are a threat if they can find that consistency because they have to be the favorite to win the South right now. For Atlanta with Cousins at QB, and the defense has played well its really about what pace are they playing, because you can have a high powered offense and still play a lot of unders, just like in the Chiefs, Eagles and Steelers games this year, but this matchup would’ve gone over the total of 43.5 the last 8 times these two have played in Atlanta, the lower scoring matches have been in Tampa. That being said pick #1 here is the over 43.5 . The side play is really a toss up and you’ve got to know that going in if you choose to put your money on it. As for me I’ll lean towards the home team and follow a few dollars with ATL on the money line -127, where your saying its only -1.5, and we haven’t really seen much of a close game getting clipped by a half a point but sometimes in the NFL thats your margin for error and you never know when the one point win on a Younghoe Koo kick could be reality.

301: NFL: Buccaneers over 43½

302: NFL: Falcons -122

NCAAF – If you like to just have action on every game or you’re just a college fan there are two games, but I really don’t know enough to make an informed opinion. Follow consensus if you want I’m not sure how much it means with these non-power conference teams
304: CFB: Troy+13½

306: CFB: UTEP +10-108

Friday Night NCAAF

Only one game I’ll weigh in on and it’s been a year where Oregon has been trying to make the Big Ten look not so tough. Michigan State getting 3 touchdowns and a field goal and I have seen them play a few times and they weren’t the greatest but they are turning the ball over at an alarming rate. IF they cut the turnovers down then they have a decent shot to cover. The Ducks and Dillion Gabriel have the talent to win the league and this one is predicted to be a beat down. I’ll take the points and see if it’s enough because keeping it close may be all the Spartans can really hope for unless they are able to cause take aways.

311: CFB: Michigan State +23½-108
