This is a play on the ST. BONAVENTURE BONNIES for our CFB Saturday Star Attraction. St. Bonaventure is off to a surprising 0-3 start considering it brings back three starters from its 18-win team that made it all the way to the Atlantic Ten Conference Finals before losing to St. Louis by a bucket. The Bonnies are 0-3 for the first time in 15 years. They have been anemic offensively, averaging 59 ppg while shooting 35 percent from the field and 23 percent from three-point range. They trailed by two possessions or fewer deep into the second half of all three contests before fizzling out in the end and they are catching a big number here. Rutgers won its first three games but had a couple of close calls against Bryant and Drexel and that is saying a lot considering it was favored by double-digits in both of those. And all of those came at home so this is the Scarlet Knights first trip outside New Jersey. The Bonnies expect to have a big fan edge in Toronto based on campus proximity and how their fans travel. 10* (803) St. Bonaventure Bonnies

This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA FLYERS for our NHL Saturday Breakaway. The Flyers lost a tough one last night as they outshot the Senators 27-19 but went 0-5 on the power play and lost 2-1. Now they go from road favorite to home underdog and rightfully so based on their opponent but they head back to Philadelphia with a 6-1-2 record on home ice. The Islanders have been the hottest team in the NHL as they have gone 12-0-1 over their last 13 games but the majority of these games were played at home. On the season, New York has played 12 home games compared to just five on the road and while it is 4-1, the competition has been light with three wins coming against Columbus, Ottawa and a suddenly struggling Buffalo team. Here, we play on home teams against the money line after scoring one goal or less in two straight games going up against an opponent after scoring four goals or more in their previous game. This situation is 56-26 (68.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (20) Philadelphia Flyers

This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Saturday Supreme Annihilator. It has been an up and down season for Dallas and it returns home following a 1-2 roadtrip that included a loss to the Knicks in its last game on Thursday. The Mavericks had won their first four road games prior to losing the last two yet they are just 2-3 at home which includes another bad loss to New York. It also includes a two-point loss to Portland and a loss to the Lakers in overtime so the record could be a lot better. Going back, the Mavericks are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 home games against teams with a winning road record. Toronto is off to a hot start even without the services of Kawhi Leonard and it is also without Kyle Lowry due to injury. The Raptors are coming off wins in three of four games to open this roadtrip, which ends after tonight as they have improved to 4-3 on the highway. But they find themselves in a tough spot here with a lookahead to home. Here, we play on home teams with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 where the line is +3 to -3 after having lost two of their last three games, playing a winning team. This situation is 63-30 (67.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (540) Dallas Mavericks

This is a play on the WASHINGTON ST. COUGARS for our CFB Saturday Supreme Annihilator. Washington St. is coming off a pair of losses but both of those were on the road where it fell to 0-4 on the season, all coming in the Pac 12. The Cougars are 3-1 at home with the lone loss coming against UCLA where they squandered a 32-point lead. At 4-5, they have to win two more games to become bowl eligible and with the finale being at Washington, this game and the home game against Oregon St. are must wins. The Cougars are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 home games. It has been a very disappointing season for Stanford which came in with higher expectations but currently sits at 4-5 following a loss at Colorado last week. The Cardinal are 1-3 on the road with the lone win coming at Oregon St. but they were favored in that game. While they also need to win two of their final three games to become bowl eligible, it is hard no to look ahead to their rivalry game next week against California and then Notre Dame two weeks from now, both of which are at home. Cardinal are 0-5 ATS in their last five road games. Here, we play on favorites of 10.5 to 21 points after two or more consecutive straight up losses, with a winning percentage of between .400 and .499 on the season. This situation is 29-5 ATS (85.3 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 9* (404) Washington St. Cougars

This is a play on the IOWA HAWKEYES for our CFB Saturday Star Attraction. We won with Minnesota last weekend as it defeated undefeated Penn St. and that puts the Gophers in a huge letdown spot especially after seeing the fans rush the field afterwards. It has been a magical season for Minnesota as it is ranked in the top ten for the first time in 57 years and are 9-0 for the first time since 2004 but we expect it to be a short stay. Prior to the win over Penn St., there was not a solid win within the conference and we think the Nittany Lions are overrated to begin with. Iowa is coming off a loss against Wisconsin by two points to make it three losses by a total of 14 points. The Iowa defense is ranked in the FBS top 20 in rushing, passing, scoring and total defense. The Hawkeyes have given up only 12 touchdowns, behind only Ohio State (eight) and Georgia (10) in the FBS and have shut out Rutgers and Northwestern. Facing a strong offense has been an issue in the past for Iowa teams as it is 20-7 ATS in its last 27 games against teams averaging 37 or more ppg. Here, we play against teams with a winning percentage of .800 or better after beating the spread by 49 or more points total in their last five games, playing a team with a winning percentage between .600 and .800. this situation is 43-17 over the last five seasons. 9* (336) Iowa Hawkeyes

This is a play on the INDIANA HOOSIERS for our CFB Saturday Enforcer. This is a great spot for Indiana. Playing against teams that were previously undefeated and lost in their previous game has always been a great situation. Reason being those teams tend to come out flat following their first loss of late into the season. Penn St. fell at Minnesota last week following wins in its first eight games and it has dropped its last six games against number coming off a straight up loss as a favorite. The Nittany Lions played three tough opponents prior to Minnesota - Pittsburgh, Iowa and Michigan - and they won those games by seven, five and seven points so this line is severely inflated. Indiana has won four straight games and is 7-2 on the season, garnering the Hoosiers their first trip inside the top 25 since 1994. Granted, they have not beaten anyone of note but past Hoosiers teams would have lost at least a few of those. Indiana has outgained six of nine opponents and are outgaining opponents by 136.4 ypg. Here, we play on road underdogs excellent offensive team averaging 440 or more ypg going up against teams averaging between 390 and 440 ypg, after outgaining its last opponent by 225 or more total yards in their previous game. This situation is 34-10 ATS (77.3 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (325) Indiana Hoosiers

This is a play on the UAB BLAZERS for our CFB Game of the Year. This is a clear mismatch on paper and UAB will come into this game seething. The Blazers are coming off a pair of losses, one against Tennessee and last week against 6-3 Southern Mississippi. The offense was shut down both times, scoring a total of nine points. In addition to that, UAB allowed its two highest points totals, 30 and 37 points respectively. That increased the defensive numbers slightly on a defense that is stout. The Blazers are allowing 263 ypg which is 6th in the nation and are giving up just 19.7 ppg which is 22nd in the country. They have absolutely dominated the Miners over the last two seasons, allowing an average of 164 ypg and yielding only seven points total. We should see another domination this week as UTEP is averaging just 19.3 ppg on offense, 115th in the nation while racking up just 307.7 ypg, 120th in the country. The Miners have lost eight straight games and have been outgained in every one of those. Their only victory came against Houston Baptist, which is 4-6 in the FCS, by just two points. This is a bad team and catches UAB at the wrong time. Here, we play against underdogs with a winning percentage of .250 or less of 10.5 to 21 points after six or more consecutive straight up losses, playing a team with a winning record. This situation is 30-7 ATS (81.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (368) UAB Blazers
